Another Winter Comes, Which Means Its Time for...

more winter vacation shoes.

So as Shoelover once again retreats to the sunny climes of southern spaces to ward off the evil effects of winter, Shoelover is once again faced with the dilemma of selecting a limited number of shoes to stick in the suit case.  Although Shoelover does love the knee high leather boots that were recently acquired, they probably wont do well on the beaches of Ixtapa when paired with a bikini, as Shoelover is not going for the stripper look this season

So the question remains, how does Shoelover maximize the shoe quotient for this jaunt to the land of margaritas and powerful drug lords.  Let's start with the basics.........

For the pool: Shoelover needs some flip flops.   Not the John Kerry type of flip flop's (although Shoelover would love the John Kerry kind of spouse, you know the one with the rich DEAD ex-spouse).    Shoelover was thinking of something a little more tasteful like these, an $1,800 pair of flip flops covered in crystals by Crystalishious.  Although given the economic downturn of the last few years, Shoelover isn't sure the company is in business anymore as demand for outrageously overpriced items may have died everywhere but on Wall Street and investment bankers are loathed to be caught in public wearing funky shoes.

Alternatively, rather than wearing shoes at all, Shoelover could find a hunky  cabana boy to carry Shoelover around the resort so Shoelover doesn't ruin the vacation pedicure.

PS  Way down here you need a reason to move
Feel a fool running your stateside games
Lose your load, leave your mind behind, Baby James

Oh, Mexico
It sounds so simple I just got to go
The sun's so hot I forgot to go home
Guess I'll have to go now

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?

Almost as bad as socks and sandals.....

is socks and HIGH HEELS.

Quick, someone arrest Britney.......

Shoes of Shame......

Pro-Maoist rights group 'shoe garland' two Midnapore teachers

Activists of a pro-Maoist group on Thursday hung shoes around the neck of two school teachers and a non-teaching staffer in Midnapore district, charging them with malpractice in recruiting a primary teacher.

Himangsu Mahato, Bhaktipada Sen and Anima Rau were 'shoe garlanded' in full public glare by the activists of 'People's Committee Against Police Atrocities' (PCPA), for what they described as corruption in the recruitment at a primary school in Palasi village.

The trio were also paraded around the village.

The PCPA activists alleged that the trio helped in the recruitment of an undeserving candidate, Rakhahari Babu in the teaching staff.

"While recruiting primary school teachers they helped in recruitment of Rakhahari Babu, a candidate who ranked third in the selection procedure," said PCPA activist.

Maoists have stepped up violence across eastern and central India. They have attacked schools and police stations, and used landmines and Improvised Explosive Devices (IEDs) to disrupt infrastructure development projects.

They have also hijacked passenger trains including the prestigious super fast Rajdhani Express, beheaded policemen and suspected informers and attacked employees of mining companies.

The main objective of the Maoists is to prevent the development of infrastructure in remote areas, which so far has remained their exclusive domain.

Thousands have been killed by Maoists in the recent past. Prime Minister Manmohan Singh has described the Maoist threat one of the gravest homegrown threats to India's internal security.

The rebels claim they are fighting for the rights of poor farmers and landless labourers. (ANI)

This gives a new meaning to the term Bad Shoes.........

Wasting Money On Cheap Shoes (AKA The Bigger Fool)?

You know, if you have some patience and search a little, you can probably find a real pair of Jimmy Choo's on sale somewhere

Jimmy Choo for H&M shoes selling for double on eBay -marieclaire

Eager shoppers were out in force on Saturday morning, as Jimmy Choo's eagerly anticipated H&M collection hit the shelves, but for many, the collaboration presented a fashionable business opportunity>

Less than 24 hours after the pieces went on sale, hundreds have hit eBay selling for well-over the original high street price-tag.

Many of the much-coveted heels are now selling for double the original price - after styles sold out within hours in store.

The keenest shoppers started queuing 14 hours before shops opened at 9am, to get their hands on the much-coveted collection. Many pieces sold out within hours.

Shoelover thinks this is a perfect example of the Bigger Fool Theory in action

Shoes fit for a king....or queen

How much would you pay for a pair of shoes that Michael Jackson never wore?

Well, if you were willing to pay anything more than $10,000 Euros, they could have been yours!

Shoes fit for a king -The Stor

WHEN the late King of Pop announced a comeback tour, who better to design his dancing boots than shoe maestro, Giuseppe Zanotti. Though Michael Jackson passed away before his return to the stage, the shoe lives on.

With design and functionality in mind, the shoe designer created three pairs – boots, flat gladiator sandals and ankle boots – adorned with Swarovski crystals. All three pairs were made for rigorous dancing, but alas, they were not destined to be on stage.

The rainbow-coloured ankle boots were donated by Giuseppe Zanotti to the Amfar (the Foundation for AIDS Research) Gala Dinner, held in September during Milan Fashion Week in Italy. The pair was auctioned for €10,000 (RM50,703), all of which went towards HIV/AIDS research. The other two models will be displayed at a show dedicated to the late singer, to be curated by Ruschka Bergman, Jackson’s personal stylist who commissioned the shoes for the King.

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
