Please Me, Tease Me
Lately I've had a bit of a nasty obsession with stripper shoes. (I think ever since I did some cage dancing and watching Rock of Love Tour Bus, I've had a hankering for more).Stripper shoes are nasty and trashy all by themselves (lets pick out the clear heeled ones especially), but I think a lot can be said about this obsession. The platforms are flawless on most (this is hard to come by- as any little curve or wrong indention makes me hate a shoe) and they have the perfect nose bleed heights that I have been desperately starving for.
The shoes have to be tamed a bit so as not to scream stripper and the patent version would have to be set aside but overall they have a great effect of hoof like appendages. Aside from the shoe the stripper/porn trend is one of my favorites because it adds a good contrast to the prude-y styles. Super short and tight dresses, hot shorts, back seam panty hose, crop tops, thigh high boots, cheap spandex, red lip stick all say 90's stripper sex, and when combined with super prude/mormon type tendencies can create a lot of interest(especially when combined with an unsexy wearer {me}). This is probably the story of my wardrobe. And if only, if only I had the ultimate stripper shoe- the Givenchy thigh high cowboy boots.... but a much cheaper fix are these Delight 5000s(and who wouldn't want a shoe named that?).
Cutting off the terrible belt (which I did by cropping), and paying no attention to the ugly seam down the front, these boots aren't half bad. They feed my need to have boots as pants. Wouldn't they look wonderful with a big fur coat (i.e. 10 magazines catsuits) or a frilly little dress that came over the top edge of the boots. Or even better, Gareth Pugh's goat hair sweat dress. Yes. My only concern is that I would venture way too much into the Pretty Woman zone. Perhaps I will have to put aside my hot shorts and crop tops for these...
And speaking of Pretty Woman, some crop top and hot short extravaganza to feed my 90's stripper fix..
The big shoulder crop top is something that I made from a terrible eighties brides maid dress and the shorts are American Apparel as well as the tights. The golden belt is a thrift store find.
