NOT KIDDING, the Paris Hilton ones are WAY more comfortable and recession proof!

In fact, I've been looking everywhere for the Valentino pump in gold, and I just came across the Paris Hilton one (she has it in gold, too). It looks exactly like Valentino's. I don't like a copycat, but I can't find the Valentino shoe anywhere, so I'll have to settle for the Paris Hilton version. I hope I don't feel too sleazy when I wear it, knowing the truth.

She (or her minions) have got that shade of red just right for the patent leather material: it is jolly and bright; just skirting the accusation of looking cheap. By contrast Valentino's shoes are a bit too sombre, especially for that strappy, ribbony style. I prefer Paris’s design, much to my own surprise.

I'm dissapointed"? Because whoever did used your email address, posted from your IP and certainly didn't sound like they were enjoying DOTD. The problem with people who only ever comment when they have something negative to say is that they create the impression that they really don't like something. When enough people do that I will assume the feature is unpopular, and I will repond to that negative feedback by pulling the feature.

I bet a shoe like this that wasn't patent leather and had a different style of bow would be really cute.

The slingbacks don't do it for me for some reason. ironically, i like Paris’ version better. The slingbacks don’t do it for me for some reason.
