Stylish with Substance

I've been unable to post & work on launching the blog because all last week I mostly dealt with a computer virus.

Luckily shoes don't get viruses, huh?

Anyway Christian Louboutins have been on sale at TheOutnet.com and we're not too late!!

Also, The Guardian has a great article/interview on/with the designer himself.

On my other blog, Pursed Lips (general fashion/design/also bags), I pointed out a quote that kind of proves Loubs are like lube for men.

Oh, I'm so bad!

Christian Louboutin shoes say one simple word: sex. Everything about them – from their disco styles, to the aggressive thrust of the shoe’s curvature, to the almost pornographic red sole, flashing observers from behind as the lady walks away – shouts sex.

But there is so much more to get from the Guardian piece, like details on not just the design but the design of more engineering aspects of the shoes...

Louboutin starts talking about "the construction of the shoe" and "the direction of the weight" and all the usual noises people make when trying to claim that a high-heeled shoe can be comfortable. But the fact is, no matter what the construction, the woman is hoicked up on her toes. The argument about whether or not high heels empower women is fruitless and, after all this time, a little tired. But even Louboutin seems stumped by the contradiction. When I ask if comfort is an important factor in designing his shoes, he ums and ahs a tad: "It is important because a woman doesn't look good if she's not comfortable. But I wouldn't take it as a compliment if someone looked at one of my shoes and said, 'Oh, that looks like a comfortable shoe'," he says with distinct scorn. When asked if there is such a thing as a too-high heel, he replies, "There is a heel that is too high to walk in, certainly. But who cares? You don't have to walk in high heels."

Yes I do think heels can be comfortable, but not out straight of the box - they need aids. And more important, IMHO, than ball pressure is arches falling. OW! Support them if heels make the mids of your feet kill.

Stay tuned to the blog because I will post a lot on shoe comfort, sans the nurses shoes - don't worry!

So even though "killer" heels have conquered, you can defeat them and turn them into kittens that make your feet purr and still look cute, or sex kittenish.

There are so many puns folks, but fighting pain and still looking fabulous is no joke!
