Trash Fashion Art
Manolo says, on the left you see the beautiful and vivacious Tichina Arnold rocking the leather hottie dress. On the right you see her stupid boots, which the Manolo can only characterize as “trash fashion art”.
By trash fashion art the Manolo means that these boots are ambitious in intent, and are vaguely interesting in execution, but in all the wrong ways. They emphasize ugliness for the sake of “art”, something which offends the Manolo’s sensibities.
Regarding the more practical matters, dozens of the Manolo’s internet friends have sent the Manolo these pictures which have appeared on the website of the Fug Girls. Most of these friends have asked the Manolo to identify these “deconstructed” abominations.
Frankly, the Manolo has no idea who makes these boots, which is too bad because he would take great pleasure in publicly excoriating these peoples. However the Manolo suspects, although he could be wrong (especially given what has been appearing on the runways this season) that they have originated in some loathsome yet ambitious fetish catalog, the less said of which the better.
As for the beautiful Tichina, the Manolo would make her over in something like these boots from the Celine.

I don’t know what those things on her feet are supposed to be but surely there must be an incinerator somewhere to dispose of them. Excellent choice Manolo. Classy as ever.

What the hell…?
I guess designers are looking for that special something to set them apart…

What was a girl to do? She is in the biggest piece of dog crap movie, that has a gigantic publicity machine she MUST be a part of. Those shoes are what a girl must do to insure that she gets her picture taken instead of Mo, Larry, Curly and Shemp, and that they make people forget to mention the movie when they write about her. And they look like what over the top “bad ass” “biker” style boots Fake Biker Hollywood Stylists, Publicists and Agents dream of wearing. (See that dive bar on the PCH in Malibu some Sunday afternoon. Puke.)
She did exactly what she had to do. Kudos.
