Are you serious?! I did not know she made them in pony...but if that is true, then that is what I want....!

[christianef]

www.monamoore.com has the ankle and tall wedge in pony in a handful of sizes.

did anyone else catch these mmm's on browns? i think they possible would fit in the lingerie thread too.

I can never get excited about CLs somehow, i always find them to obviously feminine or something....
I def prefer the deceptive quality of the MMM's.
thanks for posting rider, they are excellent

[genevieveryoko]

I can never get excited about Louboutins or MMMs...

I can get very excited over cl

It's ok to be trashy sometimes.

;( obvious 'girl fashion shoes' are obvious :(
i'll take a woman wearing those cloven hooves any day over the usual 'sea of shoes' material.

edit: then again, i'm not a girl. .

I am, and I feel very much the same. I do have 2 or 3 pairs of obviously "sexy" shoes, for the rare occasion when I feel they are needed, but that's becoming increasingly rare. I prefer flats anyway nowadays

wasnt quite prepared for the "deep" discussions to reach womens footwear. my take is if you like them, wear them, and if they happen to attract someone desirable to you, all the better. screw the whole theory if they hurt though...

on my way out to dinner wearing some very sexy phi boots.

This made me realise that sex appeal has completely left the scope of my preoccupation in general, and especially when it comes to my appearance. Doesn't mean I've turned into a sweatpants-sporting slob, just that I really don't care if I'm attractive to men. I'd go as far as to say I'd rather some men found me ugly or frumpy than otherwise (the chav/jock type)
This realisation scares me a little tbh

Nice post, Mona. I asked a question about open womens shoes a while ago, and this seems to be the most satisfying answer.

Believe me I feel the same way on this forum sometimes.

[asho]

its a good subject for discussion, i think, that was not fully-explored in the poell thread reactions. one quote in particular comes to mind, although i do not remember whom it is attributed to. to paraphrase, men are constantly watching women, whereas women are watching themselves through the eyes of those looking at them..

is the form of something extricable from what it contains, or what it potentially reveals?

I have heard this summarised as the 'male gaze theory'

[Faust]

I like the weirdo offering irl but as "bed shoes" a good pair of CL are hard to beat. I cherish my lynchxlouboutin book like no other...

i endorse this opinion.

[Fuuma]

heh, lets street clear of male gaze, lest we raise the spirit of Lacan for the umptieth time upon this forum (by now his ghost wails in torment at the mere insinuation of SZ)

so i guess it isn't even sexiness of something so much as feeling powerful in whatever you wear, whether by feeling favourably objectified, in whole or in part, and desired, or by appearing mysterious and maybe even menacing.

my personal definition on that has always been more along the menacing lines.. there is nothing more compelling to me, at least visually, than something cold and unyielding. forms that seem to be indigestible to the traditional 'male gaze'

You called?
