Boys, need some heels to go with those leggings?

I thought that fashion couldn't stoop any lower than men's leggings, but I now stand corrected. Ladies and gentlemen, Marjan Pejoski, the designer of Bjork's infamous swan dress, has done it again. Pejoski has developed men's heels, or, as some affectionately call them, "meels." I'm not sure if meels have any structural differences from women's high-heeled shoes, but they certainly look equally uncomfortable.

I consider myself to be pretty open-minded when it comes to breaking the fashion gender-barrier and have even been known to wear a tie just for kicks from time to time, but I've got to say ... this is ridiculous. I certainly hope this doesn't ever catch on ... at least until someone comes out with some better-looking shoes. Yuck.

And yes, that's a guy in the picture.

StyleFoul: Swan dresses

When Icelandic siren/oddball Bjork wore the Swan Dress to the Golden Globe awards a few years back, it was the kind of unprecedented StyleFoul that I honestly thought would never be repeated. But I regret to say that it has...

And for that, we have to thank Paris Hilton who wore a swan dress to the MTV Video Music Awards. While Paris' dress didn't have the head or the bill of the bird adding to the strangeness of her get-up, although the swan suggestion was still patently there in the form of the poofy white feather skirt.

The only explanation for this dress abomination is that Paris was trying divert attention from her horrible new record with an even more horrible dress. But PR stunts like that never work in the long wrong. The truth is that most of us are capable of disliking several things about Paris Hilton at once.
