A: Beautiful leather, stylish lines, deceptively comfortable.

Q: Who is your favorite shoe designer?

the shuzmuse and eley kishimoto

May 15th, 2008

the shuzmuse has been surfing and today shot me a “photograph” of a bright and sunny pair by eley kishimoto. his fave was the cut-out peep-toe in grey and yellow leather. a little shazzam! in one’s swagger never ever hurt. and no “fo fo foolin’” the footwear collection is pretty rad! kind of like a billion bangle bracelets, def leppard’s pyromania album and a new can of aqua net.

“too late for love?” hu-ugh. get your kishimoto shoe scoop from their site’s impressive bio. and you’re sure to overcome any “stagefright,” by getting a load of their snappy blog–it rocks the ages.

left with wanting more? check out zappos’ whole store of rockin’ kickers by Eley Kishimoto.

Sarah Palin’s red peep-toe pumps

September 3rd, 2008

seems just moments after the shoeminx posted their Sarah Palin in Apepazza patent leather peep-toe pump story, Zappos sold out of the red.

so we went on a (wo)man hunt on the prowl for what most of you are dubbing her “sexy red heels.” btw, did you see the gun-toting picture of the grandmother-to-be in her USA swimsuit? these red shoes would TOTALLY work with her suit! but i digress.

found the Apepazza “Musa” patent heels at heels, but the page we were directed too had them marked down from $144.99 to $79.99 but the REDS ARE GONE. you CAN get the same shoe in a Cindy McCain hue… At Heels.com

our sources revealed a decidedly similar pair at Endless—Naughty Monkey’s “Double Dare.” NOW THIS is the PAIR I DOUBLE DARE her to wear in that patriotic suit of hers!

and just for fun, look at this bit of detective work…
