Of course! C’mon, y’all! I am naturally obsessing about some shoes in some way or another.

I was thinking the other day that it might be nice to have some kind of regular checking in here on the V-Pants that would keep you in the know of what kind of Shoely Activity I’ve been engaging in. It’s always something, you know: looking at new designs and styles, checking out the seasonal sales, finding something I couldn’t possibly live without, being totally disheartened by the raunchy clods I see some folks walking around in, selling or giving away lots of stuff, and so on, and so forth. So let’s get to it:

MY CURRENT WEEK IN SHOES.

I’m selling a lot of pairs on ebay right now: including four belonging to Beck, I have 21 pairs that are on the chopping block. Most of them were ebay or other online purchases, which sort of precludes, perhaps, that most of them do not fit. They were all found on sale at least, but only on the irregular occasions does that actually result in me wearing them regardless; so I bit the bullet and started them off at super cheap even though it hurt a little. Would I keep a few if I could ostensibly trade them for a size that fits? Oh totally. Unfortunately ebay and flickr and my current googling skills have left me with No Dice, so I’ll just have to keep looking while I chuck these out the front door.

In other Shoes News, I have found several pairs that I am currently lusting after:

First! Robert Clergerie’s “Dormit” wedge.

I love this Clergerie man, anyway, but the graphic upper coupled with the terraced wedge just about make me start drooling. And if you take inventory of not only the shoes I’m getting rid of, but also the ones I’m hanging on to? You will see quite plainly that I am a Total Sucker for platforms and wedges, ankle straps, open- or peep-toed vamps and a healthy dollop of funky. I actually got a notice in the mail that I was obligated by law to love this style. I can only seem to find them for sale at Zapp’s, where they call it both the “Domit” and “Dormit” stylenames. Uh, hello? Hello, Zappo’s? These things are SIX HUNDRED DOLLARS. Not like six hundred Hungarian Forints, or even six hundred Swedish Kronor, we’re talking u.s. dollar-i-doos. That is a LOT of dough for something that you can’t even call by its right name.

I also have discovered that I am helplessly in shoe-love with Angelo Figus. Can you imagine what this fellow is doing to my shoe-dreams?!

I am helplessly cooing and squinting into kissy-faces and tapping my pigeon-toed feets. Omfg.

And last but certainly not least, my newest perennial favorite, Ms. Chie Mihara:

These are all from Gimme Shoes, in case you want to gimme any of them. I promise I would wear them with handmade fancy dresses and make you from-scratch lemon bars, unless you’re vegan, in which case I would make you some delicious guacamole and take you to a nice vegan bakery where you could pick out some butterless concoction upon which to snack. See? Win-win! I’ll wait for your reply in the comments, xox.
