Veggie Shoes?

Stella McCartney denies teaming up with Morrissey for vegan shoe range

British fashion designer Stella McCartney has denied reports that she is teaming up with pop star Morrissey to create a range of leather-free shoes.

A British tabloid had recently linked the two and suggested that they were in the process of designing animal-friendly footwear, and the Daily Mail had even quoted McCartney, 38, as saying she was "really" excited about the project.

The report has prompted McCartney to take to her Facebook page to set the record straight.

"Stella is a fan of Morrissey, but those rumours of a collaboration for a shoe line are simply not true," Contactmusic quoted her statement as reading.

P.S.  - Heifer whines could be human cries
Closer comes the screaming knife
This beautiful creature must die
This beautiful creature must die
A death for no reason
And death for no reason is MURDER

And the flesh you so fancifully fry
Is not succulent, tasty or kind
It's death for no reason
And death for no reason is MURDER


And the calf that you carve with a smile
It is MURDER
And the turkey you festively slice
It is MURDER
Do you know how animals die?


Kitchen aromas aren't very homely
It's not "comforting", cheery or kind
It's sizzling blood and the unholy stench
Of MURDER


It's not "natural", "normal" or kind
The flesh you so fancifully fry
The meat in your mouth
As you savour the flavour
Of MURDER


NO, NO, NO, IT'S MURDER
NO, NO, NO, IT'S MURDER
Oh ... and who cares about and animals life?

A Princess without her shoes..

Princess Letizia abandons her signature sky-high heels - Hello Magazine

Spain's sartorially savvy Princess Letizia stepped out without her fashionable footwear yesterday during a state visit to India with her husband, Prince Felipe.

In accordance with local custom, the royal couple slipped off their shoes – a pair of green snakeskin pumps for the Princess – as they paid tribute to Mahatma Gandhi at his memorial in Delhi.

At the site, the Prince and Princess honoured the great pacifist with an offering of vibrant red and yellow flowers, as well as a moment of silence.

The couple's first official visit to India began on Tuesday in Bombay with a conference on Spain and India's economic relations.

The trip continued with a special breakfast attended by the country's president, Pratibha Patil.

Felipe and Letizia also celebrated their own culture by inaugurating India's first Instituto Cervantes, an international organisation that promotes the Spanish language.

Shoelover hopes her feet don't smell

And on that Hello Kitty Thing...

Shoelover isn't very well versed in the whole "Hello Kitty" fetish subculture, other than Shoelover knows that Shoelover is not alone in the dislike of "Hello Kitty".

Especially this little number..........a glass slipper

Shoelover, who usually isn't one for spewing bile, may have a new motto - "Death to the Kitty!!!"

Walk This Way....

Arts & soles

MFA hopes eclectic shoes, paired with some classic works, bring more foot traffic

By Suzanne C. Ryan, Globe Staff  |  September 27, 2007

When art enthusiasts visit the Museum of Fine Arts, they often make a beeline for the Egyptian mummies or the Monet paintings. Ceramic pots from the late 6th century B.C. are easy to skip. But maybe mixing a little pop culture with history will make a difference.

As part of the museum's ongoing effort to drive more visitors through all of its collections, the museum today is launching "Walk This Way," an exhibit styled like a treasure hunt that pairs eclectic shoes - from Red Sox Nike cleats to sandals worn by Marilyn Monroe  - with art work in the building.

The Monroe sandals are encased next to an Andy Warhol screen print of the actress. Jeweled sandals by Bernardo from the 1960s stand next to a second-century stone statue of an Indian bodhisattva, a religious figure whose braided thong sandals look familiar.

Once in a While....

Shoelover creeps around facebook to find people from Shoelover's past.  Today Shoelover found Shai Peer, a lunatic keyboard player Shoelover went to high school with at Forest Hill Collegiate, another school that tried to kick Shoelover out.

P.S. Some of you may say that Shai bears a striking resembelance to Animal from the Muppets, with one exception, Animal played the drums.
