Weitzman’s Glass Slipper
I can’t lie, when I was a little girl I never fantasized about being Cinderella, not once. I couldn’t ever bring myself to imagine my parents dead and living with three women I detest, doing house work 24/7 (ouch!). That’s not to say I never dreamed about meeting Prince Charming and being swept off my feet, because I think that’s every girls dream (it could be Princess Charming if you wish).
If I ever had to be Cinderella, I would choose hot pink “slippers” instead of glass, but if I had to go with clear shoes, I would chose these shoes Stuart Weitzman designed.
The shoes are inspired by an upcoming opera being put on by the New York City Opera called Cendrillon. The opera is based on Jules Masset’s modern twist on the classic Cinderella. Stuart created the same modern twist on the classic glass slipper using clear vinyl and many feet of glow wire that lights up when you put the shoe on (there is a pressure switch in the heel). Its like the big girl version of those old school kicks, ‘LA Lights’ (they were all the rage in my 1st grade gym class).
Glass slipper wearing or not, you might be able to catch the New York City Opera’s Cendrillon for one of their eight shows playing until November 18th. To get ticket information visit www.nycopera.com.

When do runway shows get the attention of the non-fashion loving public? When they show is in Grand Central and completely holographic to boot. Every year mega retailer, Target, pulls a stunt to shock and awe, and each year they also try to out do their last stunt.

Last week I read an article in The Wall Street Journal about girls being bullied in school because of the clothes they wear. The article, entitled 
Instead of picking just one shoe to fawn over this week, the salivating will be over an entire company. Agent Provocateur, the company known or making the sexiest and potentially most sought after lingerie, have teamed up with Kurt Geiger to create an 8-piece shoe line called Pure Sex.















Remember when you were little, and the most interesting books were the pop-up books; it was like television for smart kids who liked to read. Now, Neiman Marcus is giving us fashionistas a way to go back to the wonderful days of nap-time, coloring books, and snacks with their very own pop-up book.
