The Disco Scream

The Shoes That Killed Disco

Manolo says, five-and-the-half inches of mirrored ugly, and exactly the antithesis of the qualities the Manolo was praising yesterday.

P.S. Many thanks to the Manolo’s friend Lindsey, who notes that they look bad even on the model.

    Ewww.. I think I need a drink- pronto!!!

    Sheesh, no wonder, they’re from Victoria’s Secret. Ten years ago VS had decent stuff, but now it’s all boring or trampy. I haven’t bought anything there for quite some time.




  3. LaVida2 Says:

    These wouldn’t be so bad if they didn’t have the mirrors nor the intense platform.
    Trying to mimic last years chloe wedge?
    They Failed!!!!

    But such a savings! Seriously, I looked at that picture and I thought, “If those shoes cost more than eight dollars (plus tax), then someone has made a grave, grave error. Then I looked at the link. My question now: Who in the world has so much money that they would be willing to spend a hundred dollars (on sale!) of it on shoes only appropriate for wearing to their wacky friend Bernice’s “Crazy Daze of Disco” themed pool party?

    OMG!

    Ugh. Even as recent as two years ago Victoria’s Secret had great shoes at reasonable prices. But now this.

    Ugh, they are truly horrible! Once again, Betsey Johnson goes off the rails. Not that it would improve them by much, but either the eyelet fabric OR the mirrors. Not both.

    It took me all day to screw up the courage to look at the photo of the model. Imagine my dismay upon discovering that the shoes were part of the tawdry and very tacky Victoria’s Secret Clothing catalog. Oh the humanity. I was not surprised. Blech.




  11. Katie Says:

    This shoe had to have been born in the imagination of a pervert. I can see it in my mind, there was some meeting of perverted minds and they came to the consensus that if only they could get the women to wear mirrors on their feet, then they will have a much easier task of looking up their skirts. From there I’m sure it was an easy sell to Betsey Johsnon.

    Yes–what’s happened to Victoria’s Secret? I used to buy a lot of T-shirts and similar stuff from them, but now most of their merchandise is trashy, tasteless junk. But I’m on their mailing list for life.




  13. Sharon Says:

    I would not be caught dead in these shoes. Way to trashy looking for me. Plus they would kill my feet.
