**Shoe Porn**

I don't fancy myself to be a shoe woman. You won't catch an Oldgirl in a pair of heels. Ever.

I only own 4 or 5 pair of shoes. And if you disregard the flip flops, well, I really own only a couple pair.

I am more of a sneaker chick. I shall be buying a pair pretty soon.

But I love looking at shoes. Does that make any sense?

I just love a really cute shoe. Really.

So i've been seeing some lately, and I thought I'd give you a little taste of it.

My secretary Lady O always wears hot shoes. But to get her to model shoes... Man, it's like pulling teeth sometimes.

"I'ma go get my camera," I say when I look down at her shoes and it's a pair I haven't seen before. I need to take a picture.
"No," she says.
"Come on, girl, stop tripping and let me take a picture."
"No."

I have to catch her in the right mood, I suppose. And Cowgirl Cre and I were playing around with one of her purple metallic pumps one day, and she knocked it out of our hands.

I think she has the job mission statement stuck in her head. She's there to work, not to model shoes for us. LOL

But every once in awhile, she'll let me take pictures. Escpecially when she's at the copy machine located outside my cubicle area.

I like this particular shoe here.





I like the quilt-like pattern of it. And the stitching. This shoe will go well with your basic black or grey outfit. Very versatile. And it's suede. Not sure how that will hold up in the rain, but that's what she keeps a pair of sneakers in her bag. Good for you, Lady O.

Let's stroll to the other side of the LadyLee showroom.

Another cute shoe, modeled by my lovely secretary, Lady O.



She's rocking a nice animal print. I like this one because it's not the usual zebra or leopard animal pattern you see all over the place. It's a nice giraffe pattern. And the strapping there, it's a throwback to the 50's or 60's.

Just lovely! Lovely indeed!

Kindly step with me over here to peruse another nice shoe, one modeled by my fellow chemist Crystal...



That shoe is hot! That's like, a snakeskin get-up. And knowing Crystal, she bought those from a joker who actually went out and killed the snake, lol...

Let's zoom in a little closer...

I learned from super shoe queen Serenity, that is a peep-toe shoe. And it nicely shows off her french pedicure.

We stepped out in the hallway, took another picture.

That Crystal, unlike our secretary Lady O, don't mind posing for pics. Not one bit. I thought some runway music was gonna cue up or something. LOL

Now, sometimes on twitter, the ladies go a little crazy posting shoe porn twitpics of their shoes. Here's one I found particularly interesting, modeled by my blog sister, Mzinspiredmind.


You can't tell, but there's a buckle on the other side.

Now, if she would've initially twitpiced the picture above, I may have been alright. She sent this one last night over Twitter for me to use in today's post.

But seeing the buckle in the initial picture, I thought... Is that an orthopedic contraption?

Had me sitting here thinking, "Bless her heart, she has orthopedic problems, but she's going to wear her heels."

I thought she was doing some Forrest Gump type thing: attaching some braces to that strap, and working it out.

Funny. They explained to me that it was part of the shoe. I can see that clearly here. I like it. It is a simple pump, but it is elevated by that plaid thing going on... and that strap around the ankle.

That's a HOT shoe.

So that's our shoe porn for the week.

I do hope it was a little entertainment for your eyes!

Almost makes me want to go out and buy a nice pair of high heels!

Not!

  9. Yes, the shoe porn was great on my eyes. Even better was your comments about the "orthopedic pair" brought tears to my eyes. LOL!

    I think those were my favorite pair.

  10. @Remnants of U and MzInspired mind... That was FUNNY. Did you see the original picture on twitter? I swear I thought it was some orthopedic strap. She impresses me as the type that if she had to wear leg braces, she will work it out with some heels. LOL

    @Sasha and Serenity... The snakeskin ones were $350 at Saks fifth Avenue in Miami. One of ya'll give me a $100 & I'll beat Crystal down the next time she wears them, snatch em off her feet and give them to you :)

  11. $350!?!? That is about $250 more than I can spend. I'll just admire from a far. :)
