What a tease! What a temptress! Mika Brzezinski refused to show us the high-heel black patent fuck-me pumps she wore this a.m. with that fabulous black shirtdress with the thin black patent belt. [photo Mika & Joe with new talking head du jour Tina Brown]Horny septuagenarian adulter and former GE czar Jack "Neutron Jack" Welch's wad dribbled on his wingtips while conservative former Reagan speechwriter Peggy Noonan labeled them an "X-rated fantasy" and later, "a mortal sin." Lighten up, neurotic bitch! There's a reason why Peggy can't get a man.
At the end of the show where the talking heads stand on the set to tell us why they're smarter than a 5th grader, the camera takes a shot of Mika's gorgeous gams and her feet wrapped in what appears to be a $3,000 Armani jacket around her ankles and dragging on the floor.How did I know her heels were black patent? The jacket slipped. I suspect Mika didn't want the world to see the telltale Christian Louboutin lipstick red soles. Hmm. Let me see. Tap shoes? Bergdorf's sells these Mary Janes for $965 and these gladiators for $1495. Which ones, gang?
As for Mika: "I thought they were tap shoes. I'll never wear them again." Honey, I challenge you to reveal your pumps like you did your sexy boot collection.
Don't do this to a neurotic shoe freak like me! I must KNOW!
I just knew they were CFM's.
ReplyDeleteI tuned in at the end of the show and I admit my curiosity got the better of me.
ReplyDeleteThanks for showing us what the shoes may have looked like.
And now, off topic,
Tucker was on Greta last night!!
Cara: I'm so out of touch after my computer crashed Wednesday afternoon! Just got on a bit ago. I'm at Chickaboomer's Northern Station. Was out of it all day yesterday. So how was Tucker?
ReplyDeleteHe was wonderful!
ReplyDeleteTucker is so bright and well informed. He has lived a lifetime in the political mainstream.
Gladiators. The straps remind me more of bondage.
ReplyDeleteAdmitting your addiction (to shoes, of course) is the first step, Marty.
ReplyDeleteUnfortunately, my wife isn't ready to take that first step.
Off to A&E's Intervention for her.
And Jim, we know how much you like bondage! I'll wear those Via Spiga modified gladiators when I see you next. Purple patent.
ReplyDeleteYes, anon, I admitted I was powerless over shoes and my life has become unmanageable.
I'll take that step AFTER I acquire my first pair of Christian Louboutins...
Ladies, ladies, the important question I can't answer as a dumb old guy....Uless the shoes come filled with a cheap sexy one-night-stand call girl what the Hell makes them worth some on shelling out 9 C-notes for a pair of shoes?

ReplyDelete"Marty...I don't understand women's shoes.
I'm getting ready to lay down about $2,500 for a new rifle and telescopic sight (Remington R25 in .308 with Nikon laser-point scope)...that kind of outlay makes sense to me -- deer in the freezer, meth-head home invaders in a bag, etc. -- but a grand for shoes and $3K for a jacket?
The most expensive shoes I've ever owned were a hand-made pair from London that I wore almost daily for 10 years...they cost me $275...
Be a pal and explain women's shoes, please."
Guys: I bet you never watched Sex and the City when Carrie (SJ Parker) walked by a shoe store, spied a pair, and said wistfully: "Hel-lo Lover!"
Women adore shoes. What can I tell you? They want the latest styles and depending on economic status, will pay big bucks for the Louboutins, Manolos, Jimmy Choos, Chanel, Yves St. Lauren, Michelle Obama's $565 Lanvin tennis shoes, Gucci, Prada, Dolce & Gabana et al., the middle tier (Weitzmans - my fave - have gone up in price and now average over $300 a pair), or PayLess.
The manager of Salon Shoes at Nordstrom Pentagon City in Arlington, VA told me how much it costs Manolo Blahnik to make a pair of shoes versus the retail cost. Like $22 bucks v $800 or something ridiculous like that.
Just like the Oscars are the Super Bowl for babes, for omen shoes are the rifles and guns and John Deeres and 60" HDTVs and all guy things. Shoes, hair, cosmetics, plastic surgery, dermatology,skin care products, anti-aging nails, clothes, accessories, jewelry.
If I told you what I've spent on shoes the past, say two years, you'd crap a gold brick. Add clothes and accessories and skin care. Botox. Restylane. Radiesse. What ever. Wrinkle fillers. It's insane.
I can tell you that I've tried on Christian Louboutins and they are practically orgasmic. The leather... the workmanship... the style... oh, my!
With shoes you get what you pay for. I have shoes that have lasted longer than all four of my marriages. My oldest pair - in perfect condition - date back to 1971. I'd still be wearing them - Herbert Levine, the brand - if I could stuff my fat foot in size 5 1/2 (what I wore before I had my daughter). I'm now a 6 1/2 or 7. They don't tell you that pregnancy means you've got to toss all those pricey pumps you acquired before.
Marty,
ReplyDeleteI have to thank you for the PHD in foot fetish 101. Enjoy what ever makes you happy. I'll admit I just never understood, But as you said I doubt may woman would have an orgasm over a 42 inch flat screen (unless there were something really hot playing on it). As always this blog is an education in Americana as it should be.
