Like a horny twenty something year old jock, I seek shoes like he seeks his next chic.
When I spy a pair of gorgeous footwear I go crazy and obsess, till i acquire them. Yet alas,this euphoria is short lived! The minute I slide my feet into the babies, its over, once they've served their purpose, I am on to the next pair.
... Poor things....
Hence the premise for the upcoming blog entries. I will blog of shoes I own, once owned and desire to conquer. I will go on to obsess about the shoes and attempt to justify why I would like to fulfill these very shallow desires. Once I have had my fill of shoegasms aka the babies, I will blog and share my experience with you(Graphic details will not be excluded).
*Disclaimer*: This blog is not for the faint of heart, or those withe weak constitutions. Hence it is rated NC17. Parents be advised. I kid.
Wait though! There's a catch! In order to "check myself" and make sure I dont become another selfish shoe addict(as if Im not already), I am going to let go of the babies after a short period of wearing them. Give me 25days to 3 months of experiencing the shoes, and depending whether I have grown attached or not I let them go, maybe to Charity, girlfriends or ebay....
I have always used this method for my clothes and some of my shoes, and I find it soothes my conscience,my closet and most of all my pocket book. I call it SHOE-CYCLING. I believe most women do this and dont realize it. Hopefully we you will all join me.

THE GUESS SHOES!
I first saw these babies on actress Megan Fox, she was wearing the Yves Saint Lauren open toes in tan, I dont remember the season but I fell inlove:

Being a college student, I couldnt afford them since they retailed for $500.00 and above, so I looked for a replica, and to my joy I found the Guess version: Banana(I believe) they retailed for only $85.00.
My dearest boyfriend now hubby, bought them for me as a Christmas gift. The shoes and I paired up for a while, had a great time! Shortly after we separated, i.e I cant find them, I think theyre under my bed somewhere, its been like 3 years so far. smh....
Next were the Bebes..ooh the Bebes such beauties they were, they were a replica of the Louis Vuitton fall 2008 platforms. God bless those babies, they were haute!!! But I hated that the Louis Vuitton only came in 3 colors, black, gold and brown.(as if I could afford them-ch)
So I went a-hunting and found the Bebe France(s), unfortunately they were all completely sold out and that style had been discontinued! I died a little inside, and turned ebay, and after 6months of vying and crying, I got my babies. Matter of fact, I got them in 2 colors, blue because thats what I wanted, and the black to reward myself for my perseverance!
Many shoes came and left(more like vanished under my bed or closet) but none struck me quite as much as the Jessica Simpson Danys. I was inspired by the Jeffrey Campbell versions called Foxy, which I thought were absolutely ghastly!
The last but definetely not the least are the Litas which I love. I got two, a black pair and a spotted white pair.
I sold the black distressed leather babies because I was a litttle dissapointed int he way they looked. I would really love other Jeffrey Campbell shoes, but that will be for my next entry. For 'babies" I would love to conquer.
So tell me of your conquests, send photos if you can. Be my guest and lets talk about our sordid affairs.
