Hideous new trend: Open toed booties
Filed under: Accessories, Shoes, Celebrities with Style
I must have dozed off for a few fashionable minutes, because today as I was cruising through People.com I saw a scary new "trend" that nearly knocked me square on my behind ... open toed booties. Say what!? The hippest of the hip celebrities, including Victoria Beckham, Lindsay Lohan and Sarah Jessica Parker, have been seen walking around on the street in these monstrosities. This has got to be some big joke created by the industry's finest. Come on, can't you see Karl and Anna giggling over a plate full of air and a glass of champagne plotting this fashion trickery? It might go something like this:
Karl: "Anna, I am bored. Let's do something fun."
Anna: "I know lets get all of those power celebrities that kiss our asses for free clothes to wear some of those funny boots that were damaged in the production room."
Karl: "You mean the ones that those workers destroyed so we had to snip off the toes?"
Anna: "Exactly."
Then they both burst into a fit of insane laughter.
I dare you to come up with a better excuse for these pitiful shoes. What do you think? Would you wear them?

I am sure they will have a HUGE pricetag as well-more $$, more fashion apeal.

I had the coolest pair of blue suede shoes when I was about 16 (that would be 40 years ago, ahem). My mom had an ingrown toenail removed and she CUT OUT THE TOE of my shoe! MY SHOE! I'm still mad at her for that. Anyhow, that's about the only thing those godawful booties would be good for.

Ha, ha, ha! Very funny bit, I enjoyed reading this blog. They were just looking for a novel trend. I don't care for the idea. I prefer steel-toed boots--with sharpened spikes at the tip! Best and most practical for women, especially in urban areas. High heels are optional, depending on the woman's height. Stiletto heels should have real stilettos in them.

Look! Something uglier than crocs! And many, many times more uncomfortable! As ugly as crocs are I have a respect for them because they're apparently so comfortable (I've never worn them). There's no excuse for these.

Uh...gee...I hate to take away from something as important as boots, but it should be "...industry's finest..." NOT "...industries...". Get an editor or worry about more important things like the dumbing down of America.
