did i mention...

...i have an addiction to shoes? i don't think i did. well i do. would have become obvious in due time anyway. however, alexander mcqueen's 'armidillo' shoes are a force to be reckoned with, and i'm just not convinced! i'm open to new ideas and one might wonder 'how much more can really be done in terms of shoe design?' well it looks as though mcqueen has the answer, apparently these bad boys are a sell-out!

very fairytale though, and with the new alice in wonderland movie by tim burton due for release in march (5th, day after my birthday, how convenient, excitings!) i guess they'll be a sign of the times.

daphne guinness has already got hers, in pinky-beige satin. a first for the red carpet, but it was lady gaga that championed them first in her 'bad romance' music video, but would we expect anything less from the queen of wacky couture? but more about her drool-worthy shoe collection another time. so will we be seeing a copy of these in topshop, new look, even primark? my guess is...maybe. i'm not sure the high street is quite ready for them just yet, but given the fast-paced nature of catwalk to high street these days and thriving consumer demand i wouldn't be surprised if they end up on the feet of the more adventurous fashionistas soon enough. but that's just my opinion...
