Email thisPosted Apr 25th 2008 at 3:50PM by Cat Lincoln

You knew it had to be a man who said that we don't need shoes.

This week in a story on NPR, Adam Sternbergh of New York magazine calls footwear "a conspiracy of idiocy." He compares wearing shoes to putting a cast on your arm and never taking it off.

He thinks we should stop wearing shoes.

Excuse us while we sit with heads between our legs, and breathe into a paper bag until we regain our composure.

Barefoot on the runway is beautiful

By now w've all read about Carmen Electra's little slip up on the stage/runway Wednesday night in LA during the Max Factor Salutes Hollywood charity fashion show. Apparently, the runway was so slippery that celebritieis and models had taped the bottoms of their shoes to keep from slipping. However, even with the precautionary measure, Carmen slipped, Allison Sweeney, who went out on stage to help her slipped, so the rest of the show, the models sashayed down the runway in their floor-length gowns carrying their sandals in their hands. They were barefoot!

I think I really like that as a lasting idea. Expensive gowns, and no shoes. Barefoot is beautiful.
