Pointy Heels Hijacked


There's a plot afoot. As every Sistah knows, pointy heelers are all about elegance and grace. But these? Would someone really have us believe these are true Pointy Heelers. I think not...





I mean surely, these of all things were designed by a real horse's arse...

Sistahs, be on your guard!

Pointy Heel Training


Soubriquet, of the Knights of the Besmirched Countenance, reporting;
The mystery of how you people manage to walk in those things has always puzzled me, ever since seeing my sister try out my mother's shoes at the age of five. Believe me, she could shuffle round all day like that, but fell and crashed into furniture quite often. Along with the shoes, she put on a big dose of bossiness, and learned to mutter darkly about toes, ankles, bunnions...
She, of course, had no idea what all that meant, it was just picked up from grown-up ladies she saw crying with relief after they kicked off their shoes under the table, in an all-woman safe-zone. Called the coffee-morning, where my mother would pretend that the house was always spotlessly tidy, that we always used fine china cups and saucers, always silver spoons.....
I was about four then, and learning the value of careful observation.

So I see now, you have bronze training robots for your toddlers to dance with.
Fiendishly clever.

"Dorothy Discovers Joy in Oven-Cleaner Fumes"




Pausing for a sniff in the cleaning products aisle, Dorothy decided to shorten the "little black dress"...
Then, inhaling deeply from the opened bottle, she flew.
Soared.
And was free at last.

Trainers of Style

Some of you may recall the Nutcracker Squadron gearing up for trouble. I'm delighted to see though that the boys have been lulled into a sense of false security...


But this, Sistah's doesn't mean we can slack. Vigilance is key and we must keep in shape. So please, slip into your pointy trainers and get... training.

Heely Health... or not, as the case may be.

My correspondent, Dr Aloysius O'Bunnion alerted me to this graphic, with a suggestion that it should be disseminated amongst the sistah-hood, and where better than the official web portal of the secret movement.

Just thought a reminder of the sacrifices offered up unto the pointy heel. Wear your grimaces with pride, sistahs, no gain without a little pain.

Net These Babies!

Such delicious legs as these just have to end up with these fabulous shoes to show them of properly!
I was told once (a long while back but, hey, it still counts!) that I had delicious legs. I think I'm still dining on that one!

Cast your nets, sistahs! See what you can catch. We've still got it!

Electric Light Shoes


Sistahs, Pointy Heels are overcome by yet another species of footwear. I speak of no other than the "electric light shoes"...

The electric light shoes were designed for a Japanese footwear company, Onitsuka Tiger, by Freedom of Creation.

The shoe is 3 feet long and contains a miniature city inside, the stripes resemble streets and highways and tall building point out from the shoe’s opening. The huge shoe is intended to communicate Onitsuka Tiger’s Japanese roots.

You tell me, sistahs, no matter how bright and pretty, can we allow this sort of thing - especially if it insists on delivering itself without a pointy heel in sight?

It gets worse


The ugliness increases with furry hideousness and an increased number of "styles". Frankly, anyone who wears this thing should be shot by the Style Police.

Shoes to Drool Over


Found in my favourite shop Fluevog.
I know they don't have pointy heels but I would love to be able to spend more than a month's rent on these gorgeous things! It's too bad my wretched children still want to eat every day - sometimes as often as three times!

.
It was bad enough that our summer was plagued with these.....

...but now they have found a way to wear them in the winter!!
