Momento Mori in Kitten Heels

Manolo says, in Ancient Rome, when the victorious general paraded through the streets in triumph, the slave stood just behind, whispering into the general’s ear, “Remember, You are mortal.”

    He’s got a nice stride.

    I’ll give him this much, he seems to walk well in heels for a male..




  3. Claire Says:

    That man can do anything! He is the lead singer of the band ‘Gogol Bordello’ and starred opposite Elijah Wood in Everything Is Illuminated, which is a lovely movie. And apparently he can walk in heels, too.




  4. Sharon Says:

    Am I the only one that thinks it is weird to see a guy walking in heels? I mean when I first looked at the picture it never even crossed my mind to look at the guys shoes.

    Martina Navratalova is not ageing well.

    Actually, the first thing I noticed was his shoes. And not just because this is a shoe blog, but because it stood out like a sore thumb. AND I also think it is odd to see a man in heels walking about…

    Tell me why this MAN can find a pair of pumps wide enough for his feet and I cannot?

    Hmmm??

    Hmmmm????

    I get a centaurus kind of image in my mind, only instead of half horse, we get the female legs with granny shoes. Whether reality or mythology… why those pumps for that outfit? I think I am more concerned about the clashing of styles than the man-pump partnership itself.




  9. Style Spy Says:

    I agree with Nena — wear women’s shoes if you want to (who doesn’t, really?) but make sure they go with your clothes. Kitten heels really do require a skirt.

    more guys in cute shoes! go!

    You’ll find me in women’s shoes nearly every day at my job in downtown Chicago—no mean feat for a 6′ 0″ man. But it only makes sense for me to dress in heels if the outfit as a whole makes sense. I applaud his bravado. However, his lack of taste makes crossing gender boundaries seem ridiculous and sets back the cause of those of us who can pull it off with panache.




  12. LaVida2 Says:

    Thats Martina Nav?!?! I thought it was Madonna…thanks for providing that bit of info.




  13. dangster Says:

    LOL, I think raincoaster was referring to the man in the picture with Madonna.
