ruminations on places where high heels should not be attached

this morning lil g train was sad to see the weekend sunshine go, but made the best of the day and hopped through puddles wearing these:

overpriced yet really really live up to hype if bought on huge discount

but saw on the feet of a fellow commuter something closer to these:

Kate Spade Randi Rainboots

And has in the past seen examples closer to these:

Aquatalia by Marvin K, melon, $259.95

Which brings lil g train to the following query: why do individuals in fashion design positions of power continuously return to the never actually successful concept of adding high heels to inappropriate places, places that otherwise possess a perfectly acceptable and in some cases relatively ingeniously engineered autonomous existence.

Dear naysayers, please see the following examples throughout recent history:

fig 1. the platform fitness shoe:

MBT Sport2, $245

and

Shape-Ups, Skechers, $115

lil g train wonders, could any potential fitness results possibly justify this aesthetic decision?

fig 2. the timberland hiking boot inspired stiletto:

"Custom Burberry Ladies Manolo Blahnik Timberland Boots," $103*

fig 3. the high fashion yet still inappropriate high heel

Balenciaga, circa fall 07, appr. $4,175

fig 4. and lil g train's personal favorite, the nike jordan stiletto

Jordan Lady High Heel, $76.99**

*quotation marks here denote lil g train's uncertainty of the factual claims made at the online shopping boutique Really Dope in terms of this photo and the authenticity behind the concept of a Burberry/Monolo Blahnik/Timberland fashion mash-up.

**lil g train has not been able to ascertain whether or not the "jordan lady high heel" is in fact manufactured and authenticated by the Nike corporation.

star crossed lovers

amy and blake circa happier times

After many tumultuous moments, incarceration and lines in the tabloids, lil g train's very favorite couple may be back together once again...

the perfect picture of romance*

Lil g train loves amy whinehouse because of her impeccable style and because the best** album of the last decade had her name (and face) on it.


*picture not current though certain blogs may imply that it is.

*please note, lil g train's knowledge of the last decade in record releases is unfortunately limited, so please disregard her assertion if it offends you in any way. the assertion was made rather rashly and is mostly based on the fact that this album was released in 1996 and this album was released in 1995.

the number one rule for your set

On the, rise to the top, many drop, don't forget


And through our travels we get separated, never forget
In order to survive, gotta learn to live with regrets


You used to hold me, told me that I was the best
Anything in this world I want I could possess
All that made me want is all that I could get

RIP

First there was this,





then there was this,





and now there is this,

My imaginary audience

should probably watch this.


In case you were wondering how lil Lil Troy really is:

And answer me this,* oh imaginary audience, why does a Mercedes roll by during the lyric 20 inch blades on the Impala rather than, lets say, a Chevy Impala?

2000 Chevy Impala

1964 Chevy Impala blown
