A lil birdie sent me a link to this highly amusing collection of shoe images at the Virtual Shoe Museum. This is a great chance for me to plug the fabulous Fluevog Shoes, who has a few designs at the VSM. Its alleged, Fluevog is Danish for “fall down.” Ha ha ha, not really.

Graziano Cecchini is my kind of funster! He had a BALL at the Spanish Steps in Rome this week, ha ha ha. I’ve also included photos of when he dyed the Trevi Fountain Red in October 2007. Oh I wonder what sort of similar mischief YOU’d do in your town? Mr Cecchini is in […]
The next time you’re in Toronto, be sure to check out the Bata Shoe Museum. Until then-enjoy some samples from their vast collection and copy from their site. Looks like they collect shoes from the famous as well as noteworthy historical and ethnographic footwear.
Discover the treasures of North America’s charming and surprising shoe museum. […]

I found these stunning images while researching Fashion Week in China, and lucky for us, they weren’t censored. We can anticipate more panda pandering as the Olympics draws near.

The great nation of Turkey has nothing to do with Thanksgiving. But I found this Turkish lingerie site days before North America slaughters masses of Turkeys on the altar of familial love and gluttonous gratitude.
This year I will be grateful for a secular Muslim nation like Turkey. A nation where a lady may HAVE […]

The nice people at babytoupee.com are selling babytoupees as a Halloween item. Personally, I think baby toupees are great all year long. My only wish is that they found some different colored babies to model the Lil Kim or The Bob. I forgive them as they probably used the babies they had on hand.
It’s been […]

Designer Gareth Pugh wowed ‘em at London’s Fashion Week this year. Below are selected designs from his collection. The Rat Cape got more press but I find the Cube head gear equally compelling.

The legal drama and ultimate triumph of Mr Percy Honniball, naked carpenter of California follows. I agree with the ruling in the Honniball case-that nudity is not illegal if the person is not engaged in lewd behavior. In doing image research for this post I found something wonderful-there’s another naked carpenter! Dale the naked carpenter. […]
I wouldn’t be shocked if more trollops, hotties or starlets looking for free publicity come forward to declare they were also “too hot to begin boarding.” A gem of a story that covers several categories. There is a certain irony that this story broke near the anniversary of September 11th during one of the worst […]
Her story is old news by now but the life and death of Issie Blow points out that the fabulous life ain’t that great. Style, breeding and parties are not enough to get one through the dark days. Issie killed herself by drinking weedkiller and was eulogized by Rupert Everett at the BEST funeral […]

My first reaction was a stunned silence, next came an eruption of giggles. Religion forces people to do some odd stuff.
This swim wear covers not just acres of alluring, creamy white, sexy skin but covers the temple garment, aka funky-Mormon-underpants always worn by devout Mormons. These garments appeal to more than Mormons I’m sure. […]

This is the most silly i-pod accessory I’ve seen yet. Apparently the music playing on your i-pod controls the speed and rate of vibration. Which I guess means if you play Beyonce, Maroon 5, Nickelback or similar dreck this device will auto-magically start to suck. Ha ha, I kid. (No I don’t.)
Good idea? Greedy tie […]
