OK, so I know we live in an advanced technological age which is super exciting, but this has got to be carrying it a bit too far. Let me introduce the absolute latest in PRADA's Fall/Winter line...
Shoes with WINGS.
Now, this may not be a totally bad idea in itself. The thought of "flying shoes" is pretty neat and if I were a totally fab Superheroine I don't know what would be cooler than wearing "winged" shoes with my supersuit. And if they worked, well...even better.
Unfortunately, PRADA has taken a clever idea and executed it with disastrous results. What we end up with is weird colors, plastic-y fabrics and just too much of a good idea turned bad. Our lovely stilettos just don't need wings on the front back, sides and et cetera. The sleek look of heeled shoes, which is what catches my eye in the first place, is completely lost with all that "plastic" flapping about. And those "nude" colored elastic bands (I'm assuming they keep the shoe from taking flight?) - blah. Forget it. :P

Fortunately, this trend has not yet filtered down into ready-to-wear stuff, so if you want a pair of these uglies, you will have to cough up a delicious $1,000. Don't worry about the fragile economy, I'm sure you will be able to wear these for decades...
LOL. OK, so I promise that I will design a totally fab pair of winged shoes sometime... I'm just waiting until they invent jet packs... ;)

On a more positive shoe subject, I saw this commercial the other day and just loved it. If your city hails shoes, please let me know... :)
