Shoes!

IS DAPHNE GUINNESS RELATED TO LADY GAGA?

At first glance, we thought this might be Lady Gaga because the shoes looked familiar, but it turns out this is a genuine British eccentric. Daphne Guinness is heir to the beer fortune and she’s a fixture in the UK fashion world for many reasons. She’s been involved with numerous fashion (Karl Lagerfeld) and cosmetic companies both as a model and artistically, and she SINGS. This 51 year old socialite is on all the Best Dressed lists and party invitation lists. Apparently she also has an admirable sense of balance…

EVA LONGORIA IS SURPRISED TO FIND HER YEEZY HEELS STEAMING UP

To be honest, we are floored by the notion that Kanye West is now designing women’s shoes – AND that people are BUYING them! Everything Kanye knows about women’s shoes he has undoubtedly learned from his wife and her sisters. Rather limited experience. Sneakers are one thing – how wrong can you go with those? But Kanye is putting his name on high heels and we can’t help but laugh. His collection is dominated by PVC plastic and Eva Longoria wore a pair out last night and she was surprised to find them fogging up from the heat. Her feet don’t look that happy either….

FINALLY – A REASON TO LIKE KRISTEN STEWART!

It’s not about the hair- it’s about her FEET! Kristen Stewart, who always seems so disinterested in everything, surprised us by stepping up to the plate for women’s rights in Cannes! Back in 2015 women were appalled when they were BANNED from the red carpet for WEARING FLAT SHOES! The incident made the whole festival look archaic and insulting to women. This year Kristen tested the waters and went barefoot and carried her shoes on one carpet and last night she defiantly WORE FLAT SHOES. She said “If men don’t have to wear heels, why should WE? She wants equal rights. Nobody asked her to leave.

MARIAH CAREY IS TOO IMPORTANT TO FASTEN HER OWN SHOES

Mariah Carey seems to be the only one really showing off in Hollywood lately and it’s surprising because she used to be so private. But having a reality show AND being jilted by a billionaire CAN make one more outgoing and self-aggrandizing. Mariah stopped by the Kardashians favorite Epione clinic (we predict bigger lips in her future) and afterward went shopping in Beverly Hills. In the course of the day she changed clothes THREE times so one might assume there were cameras on her. She continued her act of calculated narcissism into an expensive shoe salon where she REFUSED TO LIFT A FINGER. While she sipped wine, AN EMPLOYEE KNELT AND FASTENED THE SHOES she was interested in on her feet. Maybe her velvet biker jacket was so tight she couldn’t lean over…

In case you’ve ever wondered where Lady Gaga gets her amazing platform shoes – most are custom made by former Versace designer Brian Atwood. The 5’1” singer needs all the help she can get – especially when she’s wearing an evening gown with a train at an award show. According to Atwood, Gaga is fearless and can walk in taller heels than anyone else he knows. Gaga’s evening gown heel height is a dizzying NINE inches. Among Gaga’s most freakish shoes were 12 inchers designed for her fragrance launch.

SARAH JESSICA PARKER HAS HAD MORE SHOE EXPERIENCE THAN MOST OF US

article-2540006-1AB#SJPcut

Sarah Jessica Parker must have found herself with time on her hands because she started thinking about shoes. Her Sex & The City character Carrie was obsessed with ridiculously expensive Manolo Blahnik footwear and she pranced around in hundreds of pairs during the course of the show. Not long ago Sarah got the urge to design a collection and when she approached the Manolo company they jumped at the chance to work with her. What’s makes Sarah’s SJP line different from the usual Manolos is the price ($195 to $485) and the fact that they are COMFORTABLE. Sarah told O Magazine that the sexy but functional shoes will be made in Italy and the collection will debut February 28.

JESSICA SIMPSON MIGHT BE TURNING INTO A TIGHTWAD

Jessica Simpson used to buy extravagant gifts for her friends at places like Barneys, but things have changed. Her clothing and accessory collections aren’t selling quite as well as they have in the past, and her family is expanding, so she‘s cutting corners. Her friends have noted than nowadays Jessica pulls shoes or something from her own fashion lines that she doesn’t have to pay for, and gives them as gifts.

KIM KARDASHIAN SIMPLY HAS NO USE FOR ANIMALS

#kimkardashian #janetcharlton

Here’s Kim Kardashian filming her reality show in Miami along with her sister Khloe while trying to convince fans that she likes animals. She grew increasingly uncomfortable as she carried a tiny white Persian kitten that struggled and squirmed to get away. She held it by the neck to keep it from escaping and finally gave up and switched with Khloe- Kim carried the iced teas and Khloe carried the kitten. By the way, Kanye West supposedly designed Kim’s peculiar white shoes…
