Vintage & Stacked, I Love It Like That!
Circa 1940's (one of my favorite periods for shoes), a killer pair of two-tone (shades of born canvas and leather) peep-toe pumps with stacked leather heels and bows. Just look, dreamily, at the details... *sigh*
Seller adds the following info:
made for George P. Estes Co, a historical department store in Gainsville GA. Left shoe insole reads "Fanchon, Wonderful Shoes for Wonderful Girls"!Read more...
OMG OMG OMG
I'm so excited! Let me calm down a bit so I can make a somewhat intelligent post...
*inhale...*
*exhale...*
OK, so remember when I showed you these awesomely sexy shoes? Well, today I am one step closer to more information about them!
I found this fabulous photo (that's a link to Pinkie's kinky blog, so the prudish ought be careful when they click!)...
And while that imagery would have been a delicious enough find, it seems that the lovely ankle-cuffed Ballerina photo was taken by the same photographer as the original red & black shoes I covet!
And the photographer has tons more sexy shoe photos! Like this montage of 2007 fetish footwear by David Lynch for Christian Louboutin:
Heavens, someone get me the smelling salts!
Now, before I go and faint, I have to warn you about something. Unfortunately the photographer has embedded music into her blog which plays until you turn it off. (Yuck.) So, if you're trying to sneak a peek at work, turn your speakers off before you click the link; then you may safely scroll about half-way down the page to find the player on the right side of the blog and silence it.
And you should probably have your smelling salts nearby.
OK, ready? Set? Click and enjoy the insanely wonderful Sofia Karla's scrapbook!

What My Home Library Would Look Like
My dream library comes complete with 24-hour on-call foot masseuse. Now that would greatly enhance my reading and relaxation hours. In fact, I think all public libraries should have such services -- attendance and funding would increase dramatically.
What The Heel Is Going On With These Snake-Heeled Shoes?
In the dead of winter last year, the shoe world was all a light with the search for the incredible Gianmarco Lorenzi's pumps with the Swarovski snakes on the heels -- mainly because other than one eBay auction (long gone, girls!), there's only photographic evidence of them.
Hearts everywhere were broken.
As if being unable to find those sexy pumps wasn't enough frustration, recently, on Tumblr, another version has surfaced. I have no idea just how long ago this photo was taken (this was as close to the original source as I could get), but notice the red soles on these black pumps with silver snakes or pythons wrapped around the heels -- isn't that Christian Louboutin's signature?
Christian zealously guards his trademark red soles (originally created spontaneously with red nail polish); I'd imagine Gianmarco would protect his crystal snake heel design too. So what the hell is up with these black pumps with the snakes on the heels and red soles? Were these fakes? Knock-offs designed to pass themselves off as both or either designer's work that were confiscated or otherwise prevented from hitting the marketplace? ...You can't say someone just personalized their own pair by applying red nail enamel to the soles -- the lining is red too.
I'm not saying I'd buy the malicious high heels -- even though on my meager salary I can't afford the real things. Heck, I can't even find a place selling any version. But a dreaming shoe-loving girl wants to know the truth.
Tsk Tsk
I love these mod black and clear slingbacks (authentic 1960s!), but I'd seriously have fixed that chipped toenail polish before taking that photograph.
