In 2003 it was Uggs. Last year, legwarmers came back. This year it's all about sequined bags, beaded slippers and... and... PLATFORM SHOES (*stomp*stomp*stomp* no no no NO!!!)
The sequins and beads seemed like a good idea. What could be prettier than glittery detail? But then they began to take over: shapeless bags with oversize dangling sequins that remind one of capiz lamps.
And the slippers! My god, frumpy beaded round-toed slippers with flat corkboard soles that would shame your grandmother's shoe rack are being worn TO GO SHOPPING. One would hope they were a last-ditch ferry ride to get you from the last pair to the one about to be rung up but no, they are a fashion statement.
And then there are the platforms. Are they back again? Didn't they just leave? Whenever it was, it wasn't soon enough, and their comeback is far too quick for my taste. Am I the only one who thinks of orthopedic shoes when I see them? What's next -- couture crutches and wheelchairs?
Oh, and can celebrities *please* stop sporting rosaries as jewelry? Even Catholics don't wear them; we wear crucifixes.

er, i kinda like the beaded round-toes slippers.
and while i remember owning wedges and actually had fun wearing them, i do NOT like platform shoes. forget orthopedic, they just look so...cheap. i always think of strippers (and not the pretty ones) when i see them. especially when they're the clear jelly/crystal/whateverfreakymaterial ones.
i still have a hard time accessing your site. why, oh, why???
p.s.
are you guys going to be affected by rita? :(
if it makes you feel any better, i tried to get to my blog and it said "Forbidden access: You are not authorized to view this page" or somesuch. lol. Naayos naman with a quick refresh.
i used to have a pair of shoes with lucite heels, but they were stilettos NOT platforms. I thought of them as my cinderella shoes =)
rita came and went. Only impact for us was a little wind. One gust almost knocked me over when i came out of work, tho. I swear I'm not that wide (yet).
