Diaries of a Shoe Whore: The Clear Heel
1 Comments Published by *ms.b on Friday, April 27, 2007 at 11:09 AM.
Those who said clear heels were just for strippers obviously did not see Kurt Geiger’s new spring collection. I am not sure why they named their cute shoes after islands -- 
The Kurt Geiger’s collection is sexy, minus any hooker accents. For those on their feet, the heels are thick and the shoes have very good ankle support. For those who are a bit slow, that means you won’t just be sitting in the club looking cute. You might actually get a couple of two steps in before you sit down and look cute. Their collection hovers around the £210.00, that about $400.00 for us Americans, and €325,00 for the Europeans. Check the Financial Times for the latest currency exchange rate, and www.kurtgeiger.com to buy.

I must preface this by saying that I am not particularly “down” with the women’s rights movement, or at least that isn’t the motivation for me saying that the new Mac Barbie Collection is girl’s fantasy gone bad. Did we really need another unrealistic iconic figure to attack our self esteem?
And before all the fashionistas get their panties in a bunch, let me just say I love cosmetics, fantasy, and all other things fabulous-- no matter how politically incorrect. But making up your face to assume a plastic disposition is by no means flattering. Most men I know don’t even like lipstick on their face let alone the shellac MAC is calling foundation. In addition if your foundation is too heavy how can you achieve that natural sun kissed glow (you know when the sun actually can reach your skin), which should be the basis for any summer look. A Barbie at the beach can never be attractive, unless it is “make pretend” at your daughter’s digression. Ok, to sum up an otherwise lengthy soliloquy, Barbie make up-- BAD, Sun kissed glossy look -- FAB.
