Why does the term 'round heels' come to mind?
Posted by: Texgal | February 23, 2008 at 09:52 AM
All of the above.

"When you walk, it is almost on tiptoe. You look really dainty."
They misspelled daffy. Or maybe they meant dorky.
Posted by: KOW | February 23, 2008 at 09:59 AM
Uhhhhmmm... NO! (I can just see these becoming really popular in snowy winters.)

oopsie...
*hopes she doesn't get fired for posting this last night*
*realizes she doesn't work for the Blog*
*whewwww*
*wonders, yet again, how a drunken woman would walk with these*
*goes off to buy some more *'s before she runs out*
Posted by: Siouxie | February 23, 2008 at 10:03 AM
So, would hip women refer to these as "Come take me to the emergency room shoes"?
Posted by: Meanie the Blue | February 23, 2008 at 10:06 AM
Nah. The old term still applies.
Posted by: Texgal | February 23, 2008 at 10:09 AM
Can I wear these with jeans and a teddy?
Posted by: Jazzzz | February 23, 2008 at 10:10 AM
Hope she has her podiatrist on speed dial
Posted by: Jazzzz | February 23, 2008 at 10:13 AM
Plus they just look weird...nevermind the walking on tippie toes...
Posted by: daisymae | February 23, 2008 at 10:13 AM
Siouxie, why would you be afraid of getting fired? It's not like you put up a cartoon about shoes made by drunken lemurs ... ??
And besides, ballerinas have been dancing *en point* for ages. Not that any of these "models" would know a swan from a goose...
Posted by: Steve Haller | February 23, 2008 at 10:17 AM
It would be kinda cool to kick some butt with these babies.

The world continually invents new ways to measure Brainless.
Posted by: marina_like_a_boatdock | February 23, 2008 at 10:22 AM
Steve, these shoes were probably MADE by drunken lemurs.
I'm betting they're good for torturing ;-P

Sioux, are you starting a new type of colonoscopy? @$$hole minds need to know.
Posted by: Texgal | February 23, 2008 at 10:24 AM
*smiles innocently*
Nope, whatever gave you that idea, Texgal???
You do hafta admit these are way cool kick@ss shoes. Not that I'd be able to wear 'em. My Cuban @ss is too big and I'd be falling back on it constantly.
Posted by: Siouxie | February 23, 2008 at 10:28 AM
I just don't feel the need to ever look that cool.

□ INSANE
□ CRAZY
□ BOTH
□ I AIN'T ANSWERING BECAUSE SOUIXE HAS SHARP INSTRUMENTS.
Posted by: igloo | February 23, 2008 at 11:21 AM
□ 42
Posted by: Meanie the Blue | February 23, 2008 at 11:27 AM
Iggy, if you see a woman wearing those shoes, all of the above is the correct answer.
Posted by: Meditrina | February 23, 2008 at 11:29 AM
Agreed, Med.
Iggy, I've put them away. Really. You can now come out and play.
Posted by: Siouxie | February 23, 2008 at 11:38 AM
To answer Dave's (and Ig's) question...
(Since the sound on that is not the best, here's the real (great!) song. RIP Kirsty.)
Posted by: Meanie the Blue | February 23, 2008 at 11:42 AM
Meanie my man, we now undeniable proof that while women can't dance.
Posted by: Texgal | February 23, 2008 at 11:55 AM
Tex, what would you expect from the French Mead0wettes at the French Meadow Macrobi0tic Camp?
Posted by: Meanie the Blue | February 23, 2008 at 12:02 PM
Meanie, that was awesome (the song - the dance..not so much).
Posted by: Siouxie | February 23, 2008 at 12:03 PM
Time to put on the latex gloves. *SNAP!* Looks like another case of PP is popping up. Pops up WHITE to replace WHILE.
Posted by: Texgal | February 23, 2008 at 12:22 PM
Wow, Meanie, that was great!
Well it's one for the money, two for the show
Three to get steady, let go, let go
But don't you, step on my no-heel shoes
I can’t do anything but fall off of my no-heel shoes
I trip; I go down, land on my face
Legs are flyin’ all over the place
Who’s the designer, I’m going to sue
So watch it, honey, stay off of my shoes
Now don't you, step on my no-heel shoes
I can’t do anything but fall off of my no-heel shoes

EEEEEEEEEEK
WTF??
*kicks bot with tip-toe shoes*
Posted by: Siouxie | February 23, 2008 at 12:37 PM
When I hear that Kirsty MacColl song I think of Kinky Boots. I loved that movie.
Posted by: rebekah | February 23, 2008 at 12:39 PM
"They are not dangerous because you would have to lean quite far back before you fell over."
Um, I would think that falling face-forward would be the main problem here...
Posted by: Wavey | February 23, 2008 at 12:40 PM
Oh, good Lord. Those look even crazier in daylight.
Posted by: Cat R. | February 23, 2008 at 12:43 PM
With no spike heel to slice and dice, I'd have to modify my roundhouse kick. Hmmm...maybe a retractable blade in the platform sole....
Posted by: Annie Where-but-here | February 23, 2008 at 12:49 PM
Well, happy Saturday, folks. Off with the daughters to spend money on clothes and shoes (ha!) before the severance pay runs out.
Carry on!
*slinks out*
(not "totters out" or "tumbles out", which would be the case in those shoes)
Posted by: Cat R. | February 23, 2008 at 12:52 PM
A perfect name for them would be teeter totter.
Posted by: Mot the Hoople | February 23, 2008 at 01:18 PM
No, I don't notice any bluish tinge to those feet.
Posted by: CJrun | February 23, 2008 at 01:39 PM
Ducky rules!!!!!
And the bot is having a bad shoe day. Time for it to reboot and punt.
Posted by: Texgal | February 23, 2008 at 01:46 PM
I feel bad for the feet in those shoes.
Posted by: Jemmy | February 23, 2008 at 01:58 PM
Can you wear these shoes while riding your Segway?
lol at kow's 9:59am misspelling and ducky's song.
Posted by: SW | February 23, 2008 at 02:08 PM
Annie, re your "Hmmm...maybe a retractable blade in the platform sole...:"
Have I told
You lately
You have issues...
Posted by: SW | February 23, 2008 at 02:13 PM
What's really insane is...I'm gonna have a man buy them for me.
Posted by: Annie Where-but-here | February 23, 2008 at 02:14 PM
These makes the term "hoofing it" more literal.

NH Governor Lynch 2-24-08
P Macdonald 465 Packersfals Rd Lee NH 03824 603-659-6217 NH.red.sox@gmail.com
NH Governor takes my phone # last week and tells me that he will call. The Sheriff’s office last week takes illegal action to attempt to scare a voting resident for what I believe is the demented illegal actions of Judge Peter Fauver, by the now gusto legal system. The public is so afraid of losing everything they are unwilling to speak openly. The perfect example is my situation. I spoke when Fauver violated the Constitution 29 or more times to protect the Madbury selectmen’s criminal acts of discrimination and miss use of the courts. The NH Supreme Court’s primary job is to protect the individuals from government violations of the Constitution and they refuse to hear the case. NHSC file # 2003-0477. U.S. congress woman Shea-Porter files false criminal complaint against me to put me in jail to stop my letter to the editor. She uses her powers to have a VA Dr Biswas file commitment orders to put me in the funny farm to stop my letter to the editor. The NH VA director of NH Veteran’s medical care stops my VA medical for service connected disabilities to stop my letter. Judges and government officials are violating the law to inflict pain and suffering on a 100% disabled Veteran and every one is afraid to speak up. NH Governor Lynch promised if elected he will bring ethics back to NH government. The problem is his mail is censored before he gets it. This way the criminal government officials are protected and we the public are dominated. The News media uses censorship to prevent the public’s opinion to be published as a means to control public opinion.
I am not mad or dangerous. I have violated no laws. I openly state facts to attempt to openly discuss criminal wrongs committed by government officials including Judge Peter Fauver. I came back from the Vietnam Conflict disabled. I was injured three times, twice in separate combat support missions. I volunteer every day to make our nation a better place. Am I such a bad person that government officials are allowed to inflict pain and suffering because I am just not worth life. I have asked the VA suicide hot line to stop calling me every day many times but they don’t. This is harassment but with all the other illegal acts who in the United States cares. This illustrates the reason why so many U.S. military returning Veterans go homeless or without medical care. We give our lives to make this nation better for the individuals and you dismiss us as undesirable leeches on society. I volunteer so I get nothing for my speaking up. I speak up because it is every individuals obligation to correct the wrongs in government even with our lives. How may hours before my freedom is taken again by the gusto legal criminals. Governor what harm is it to speak openly to me in the public eye. Are you afraid?

I told you annie has issues. And why she keeps posting as "P McDonald" I'll never understand.
Posted by: SW | February 23, 2008 at 02:45 PM
*kicks 'a' up to SW*
Crossgirl - for you, I'll do the research.
Wouldn't it be fun to stand outside a shoe store at the mall, wear a sultry outfit, and ask guys to buy you shoes?
Posted by: Annie Where-but-here | February 23, 2008 at 02:55 PM
please define sultry. just wonderin'.
Posted by: Wyo Cowboy | February 23, 2008 at 02:59 PM

Jazzz, you cannot mean what I think you mean.
Posted by: SW | February 23, 2008 at 03:08 PM
Why, of course not, SW!! (if I think you mean what you think I mean what I meant)
Posted by: Jazzzz | February 23, 2008 at 03:11 PM
Funny, I've just designed a pair of women's shoes with heels but no soles.
Posted by: Mike Antonucci | February 23, 2008 at 03:12 PM
I've known a few women with no souls.

This would be for them, maybe?
Posted by: Meanie the Blue | February 23, 2008 at 03:19 PM
"I've known a few women with no souls."
They sold their souls for shoes.
Posted by: pogo | February 23, 2008 at 03:20 PM
Mike A - I've seen balers with less moving parts.
Har-de-har @ Wyo.
Jazzzz - my goodness, you're sassy today. SW will explain what I mean. In pictures.

AW lives close enough to me that I get the thrill of living dangerously but far enough away that I know the cost of gas keeps me safe.
Posted by: SW | February 23, 2008 at 03:22 PM
I'm on OB call, Annie.....not resposible for my actions
Posted by: Jazzzz | February 23, 2008 at 03:24 PM
Annie's a Marine? Ok, I'll buy that. But do her combat boots have heels or are they tippy toes? And will the man buying the shoes be Uncle Sam? Degenerate minds need to know. Oh, and was "sultry" the intended word?
Hugs and kisses @ Annie. Now go kick some @ss.
Posted by: Texgal | February 23, 2008 at 03:24 PM
At least we're not out there selling our souls.
May I point out this guy just happens to be a lawyer, a sheer coincidence. In no way does this imply that attorneys don't need souls. In other words, please don't kill me, El.
Posted by: Annie Where-but-here | February 23, 2008 at 03:24 PM

Posted by: SW | February 23, 2008 at 03:32 PM
Jazzzz - responsible or reposable?
Wyo - decaf. Now. SW - I can always carpool.
Posted by: Annie Where-but-here | February 23, 2008 at 03:33 PM
Carpool? I would think you wouldn't want any witnesses, aw.
Posted by: SW | February 23, 2008 at 03:34 PM
Gotta run, friends. It's been fun. Have a great day! (Googles address for Swedish Embassy, Heraldry division).
Posted by: SW | February 23, 2008 at 03:35 PM
SW - the trunk is pretty big.
Posted by: Annie Where-but-here | February 23, 2008 at 03:36 PM
Get a more flattering mirror, aw.
Posted by: SW | February 23, 2008 at 03:37 PM
My experience with the shoe closet of mrs Hoople, which is approaching Imelda Marcos proportions, is that the price of the sandal is inversely proportional to the amount of leather that they're made from.
Posted by: Mot the Hoople | February 23, 2008 at 03:38 PM
Mot, that's also been my experience with underwear.

Posted by: Annie Where-but-here | 02:55 PM on February 23, 2008
uh... yeah, annie, it IS fun. how do you think i have closet full of cute shoes on single mom salary?
Posted by: crossgirl | February 23, 2008 at 04:29 PM
If we just placed mouse traps alround the floor, the womenfolk could still walk around like that and it would be cheaper. Also amusing.
Posted by: CJrun | February 23, 2008 at 04:33 PM
I have a serious problem with paying as much for these impractical shoes as for a reasonable used car.
Posted by: Mot the Hoople | February 23, 2008 at 04:34 PM
Mot, maybe you should hang out with Annie and she can get somebody to buy a pair for you too
Posted by: jugheaded | February 23, 2008 at 04:50 PM
YES, cg & Annie.
I got THIS dainty pair whilst wearing THIS sultry outfit, whilst standing in front of THIS establishment.
Works every time...

That's OK Tex, we'll just deduct it from your shoe-budget.
