Argh, the plagues, they are truly not fantastic. But they did indeed entertain.

That was wonderful. I am astounded that such shoes exist.
Happy Passover!

What floors me about the plague shoes is, if you click the link to Zappo’s, each shoe has a great rating and people raving about how good looking it is. Are these people blind and/or insane? Maybe the commenters were hired by the manufacturer to give the shoes good reviews. I can’t imagine anyone thinking those monstrosities are actually attractive.

Um…does she realize she’s got 11 plagues there?
La Retrosessuale 19 years ago
Madonna mia! La fannypie is correct! I DO have eleven plagues. Out of the deep dark depths of my subconsious, I must have added “Wild Beasts” to the litany of plagues.
Look at it this way — the eleventh plague is actually a reference to the manymany of La Retrosessuale’s relatives, known in Yiddish as vilde chaya, who descend upon the dinner table and pick the carcasses clean.
Happy Passover and Merry Matzah to All!

I would like to thank and congratulate LaRetroessuale. This is the first time I have ever been frightened by shoes. The lice and vermin in particular. In fact, it’s been a long time since I was frightened by anything. Thank you so much for waking me up.

Can recycling ever be in bad taste? Inquiring minds wish to know. For example, these shoes made from old computer keyboards are reported to be a hit at 14th China International Clothing & Accessories Fair. The East remains mysterious even to those of us given to Geek-style. (via Boing Boing.

GRUPS = Oregonians

Well i like to think of it as there are two kinds of Grups. Real Grups or Oregonians (and maybe southern Washingtonians as well), who actually spend what their clothes are worth and then their are Poser Grups (aka Trendsters/Hipsters/Climbers) who just follow the fad

The plague-shoes, they are the footwear choice of the demons of Hell, are they not? Certainly they stop the heart with their irredeemable ugliness.
As it happens, the Ten Plagues are also available in chocolate, from the catalog of “The Source for Everything Jewish”. The Annalucia, she would not have believed it had she not seen it with her own horrified eyes.
