Quick! What's the difference between these two shoes:
Near as I can tell? About $700.
Oh, they're everywhere. The lucite shoes. All the cool kids are wearing them. (Well, the cool kids who can afford to drop 700 bucks on shoes, anyway.) And more are coming, evidently. Some of my favorite lines -- McQueen, Lanvin, even Pucci -- are showing shoes with see-through heels. But I just can't get behind it. Maybe it's my age or my deep-seated bourgeois tendencies, but for me, acrylic platforms = pole dancer. Always and forever.
I don't want to look like a pole dancer. Ever. Not even for pretend while I'm working out. But suddenly, people whose opinions I usually trust implicitly, like Alber Elbaz, are telling me I should. Alber!! Seriously! What's come over you? I mean, I expect this sort of thing from Gucci and Versace, but from my adorable little bow tie-wearing teddy bear?
It's like I don't even know you anymore!
I suppose some of them are kind of cool:
And these, I have to admit, are quite beautiful
Or these:
I just don't know... Am I wrong?
Tell me what you think.

I can admire the nicest of them, but like you, I simply can't go there myself!
I think that when you buy these, you also receive a free name change form with the options of Candy, Cocoa, Divine, or another stripper name.
God, no, not for any amount of money.
Tacky to the extreme.
Horrible! I would never under any circumstances! Yuck!!!
No, no, no. Those are stripper shoes. I don't care how much they cost or who makes them. Furthermore, I'll warn all of you that one of my friends bought a pair and broke her ankle wearing them. Nevermind that she was drunk and attempting to give her husband a lap dance- They're dangerous!
OMG -- I just hope she didn't have to explain to her mother how she injured herself...
I think I would have to agree. . . stripper shoes. But they would have been PERFECT with my "Charro" halloween costume!
