Look! Rows and rows of ugly shoes to choose from!
Who designed these and why do they hate women?
Crocs!
Long-time readers of this blog know that my religious commitment to hating on Crocs has never flagged. Until today.
I got an e-mail from Planet Shoes luring me to their web site and I popped on to have a look at what was on sale.
I was thinking, “Gee, it would be nice to have a pair of sexy open-toed clog type shoes. Just something for dinner parties and that sort of thing — something I can slip on when guests come over that are fun and casual at the same time. Something a step up in style from my cooking Crocs.”
Yea, I cook in Crocs. Sorry! I do! They help me to not have a stiff lower back!
Crocs! For fifty stinking bucks! $50 bucks for PLASTIC! They’re so cute, though!
I’m not tempted, and you know why? Because if your feet sweat, they slide right around in Crocs. And on a 4″ heel that could be a real nightmare. Still, consider it a sign of the Apocalypse that PeaceBang gave serious consideration to the cuteness of Crocs.
Fluevog Sale
I want these so baldy I’m salivating, but no way.
These are fantabulous and if I didn’t have such a chunky calf I would be slapping down my plastic in a heartbeat. You can wear them with or without the hardware.
3.5″ Wedges? Sure!
They’re black, they’re classic, they look comfortable. Elegant and fashiony. Fab.
Ordination Shoe Question
PeaceBang is HERE FOR YOU! Why just today I got this:
Hello dear! I read your blog religiously (oh..punny!) and now find myself in a desperate situation! I am being ordained as minister of word and sacrament this Sunday. I am wearing a black suit (skirt & jacket from talbots) black tights, and…..(wait for it) I want to wear these killer, dark grey, pointy-beyond-belief heels I have found. My questions are thus: can I wear dark grey heels with a black suit and can I wear really hot heels to my ordination? I have pics if you need them…just tell me how to get them to you!
signed,
The Reverend Mrs. “Did you see her shoes?!?!”
I responded thusly,
Congratulations, Soon-To-Be-Reverend! NO. You may not wear the killer slutty pointy heels to your ordination. Especially not with tights. There are two issues:
1. Your shoes will upstage you and broadcoast to the assemblage that you do not have an appropriate sense of decorum for such a formal occasion and ;
2. We do not wear pointy heels with tights unless we want to look like Witchy-Poo. The proportions of a pointy heel are destroyed by the heaviness of an opaque tight.
Enjoy your wonderful day and let me know what shoes you DO wear! Photos, photos, we need photos!
Much love and a kiss of peace, PB
