"An intimate extension of the body, shoes convey a wealth of information about an individual's sexuality, social status, and aesthetic sensibility. High-heeled shoes, in particular seem to embody our complex feelings about sexuality, gender and power" Valerie Steele, director and chief curator, The Museum FIT

I love high-heeled shoes, I just love the way they lift you up, from your calfs up till your bum, and make everything look so perky and cute, and elegant, and sophisticated (if you wear the right pair, that is)....but I only wear them for special occasions.

In shoes I look for beauty in design and comfort for my feet and spine. Maybe it also has to do with the fact that I care a lot about my posture and what the consequences of wearing high-heels daily will do to my future body as a whole...but that is no reason why a girl like me cannot enjoy now the pleasures of wearing and looking Hot in heels like these!!!

I just loved the exhibition called "Shoe Obession" that is ongoing @ The Museum FIT at 27th and 7th Avenue. Definitely some of those shoes in the Exhibit Collection are not meant to be worn at all....or are they?! You should go and take a look, it is on until the end of April, from noon till 8 pm.

Maybe you are one of those girls that wears them daily, and I salute you! You will love these! What do you think?! I would definitely wear the Aperlai's, Manolo Blahnik's (yes this time I would!), and Louboutin's...How about you? Which ones would you actually wear?

Those Shoes!!!

Too many NYCFashion week designers were using Manolo Blahnik's shoes for their shows. The hard truth is as much as designers and stylists liked them, the models wished better! It is an incredible art to walk gracefully on the runway, and these girls have mastered it!
Thankfully it only takes them less than a minute to walk the runway up and down. So when you see the models on those shoes and that graceful walk, you wish you wore them....but what you don't know is that most of them waited for the last possible second to put them on.  And, as soon as they came off the runway that is the first thing they wanted to remove.
 This year Manolo's shoes were present in about 80 percent of the shows I was on. And the thing they had in common was the pointy tip, and the hardness of the materials used, with a prevalence of transparent plastic, which looks gorgeous to me, but is a feet killer. So when I found out they were giving Manolo Blahnik a Royal Designers Award @ Palacio Real el Pardo in Madrid today, I wondered...and then I thought again...well deserved Manolo, you are an Artist! I don't think I could wear your shoes though, but see an exhibition of your work @ Museo Nacional del Prado, I would love!
They look beautiful in a drawing!!!
