These Boots Were Made For Walking???

Fashion-smashion. These hairy monsters will cost you between $1,600 and $2,500, but that does not stop every self-respecting fashion fanatic from getting a pair. Or two. They come in a variety of colors, feathers, animal skins. It's a statement, I get it. All of your accessories centered in one place -- around your ankles.

A bunch of celebrities and fashion forward-thinkers have been "spotted" wearing them -- where else? -- on various carpets and shopping sprees. Since the shoes are not available in stores yet, I presume they got them for free. We will see these celebrities and fashion forward-thinkers wearing these works of art on their feet and we will all get the urge to buy them pronto. Who doesn't want a little feather - Afro-bead - python leather action going on down there?

Pretty is for Suckers, Suckers!

Season 12 of America's Next Top Model started last week. Cycle 12 of praising Tyra for everything she has given the world of modeling, also know as Tyraland -- truly, the ONLY world worth living in. I missed it (How dare I??) Had to catch up via blogs and online video bits... and this year is gonna be TOTALLY different... NOT

Like its predecessors, the new season guarantees a plethora of Tyrantics, a collection of odd-looking girls who are never to be seen again as well as an 'inside look' to a bunch of so-called 'real fashion' photo shoots filled with trapeze artistry, animals untamed by Siegfried and Roy as well as possible cuts of swine made into bikinis. May I have the tenderloin two-piece in a 4, please?

Nevertheless, Tyra's outrageousness continues to pump up the level of crazy. This year, she is opening the door to the uglies. After all, in Tyraland, models are not supposed to be pretty. In fact, Tyra doesn't care what they look like, as long as they don't look better than her. If you want your doze of pretty from ANTM, then you best be looking at Da Hostess. To please you, the pretty-seeker, TB will also be providing a retrospect of her modeling career via re-touched photographs and such. Long live the king!
