i've wanted the alexander wang platform boots ever since i laid eyes on them- the horribly perfect 90's silhouette/cheap hooker appeal totally stole my heart.
alas, i don't think i'll ever have $700+ to drop on a pair of shoes... which is why some holy entity made me take a walk to my local vintage shop this evening to find these perfect steve madden boots for $26. of course they don't compare to the a. wangs, but this blog has absolutely nothing to do with designer clothing, as it's totally unrealistic in my life. this is as close as i'm gonna get- and i'm so ridiculously excited to wear these all summer, with so many outfits that they should never, ever be worn with. you know you've made an inappropriate choice when you start considering how many men will proposition you for sex. oh well, i'll just kick them in the face. isn't that what platforms are for?

Who needs designer shoes when you can get some this awesome for $26? I love them so much; They suit you. Not that you look like a cheap hooker by any means.

bitch, i love you.
you're ridiculously kind to send me a little something extra from the shop. talk about a lady boner.
can't wait to see you in LA. We have our hotel picked out at The Inn at Venice Beach July 26 and 27.
Please tell me this isn't too far.

For some reason these remind me of the best cat call I've ever recieved: "Girrrrl you're so fine, I want to drink beer out of that boot you've been walking around in all day. YOU FINE."
I hope these garner the same response. Or...maybe not.
Love these, kind of jealous of your find.

you are not missing out on anything with the A Wangs. i have a pair of flat Wang creepers and they are amazing- but the design of his platforms is sick and twisted. they will suck your arch in and spit your ankles out. even barbie can't handle the shit.
you stick with the reds- they are supreme.
Amazing shoes! Such a great find!
