OMG! I saw this picture randomly today and just knew that it somehow had to make it into my blog for the day! Dilemma: I don't like them. Solution: I LOVE my feet! Can you believe these things?? Here, take a closer look:
I mean really, I can appreciate fashion-art fusion (faart?), but please explain to me, what is the point (literally) with these shoes? Are they supposed to be making some sort of social statement--reminding us of the days of the concubine with the bound foot and just how far (or not) we have come? Are they meant to be post-feminist? I believe they are by a female designer, is she reclaiming this part of history for herself? Taking back the power? Kind of an old cliche, I mean, really, what is more stereotypically female than shoes? But,that third wave passed almost two decades ago. I just can't imagine that they are meant to be worn, and can kind of see the post-feminist in them, but I think I am siding with art...they must just be art. Help me out here if you have any clue...
I love my size 6's, not because they are cute (which they are) but because they literally ground me. Just think about all we ask our feet to do on a daily basis...they are amazing! I love a pretty shoe as much as the next girl, and can rock a stiletto like it's nobody's business, but if I had my druthers I would be barefoot (and not pregnant!) or in UGGS (scoff if you must, but they are the ultimate in comfortable shoes!). Love your tootsies!
Things I Like....my feet...and post-feminist shoe art?
