Shoe of the Day

This little darling is called "Tea and Cakes".  Totally feminine and totally 1950 meets 2011.  There's something dainty and cutesy about this shoe that's so unexpected. Is it the white with blue floral print? Or the sweet little heel?  Whatever it is, pair this with a pair of jeans, capris, or just go all out and wear a cutesy dress and hat with gloves. Ok, not the hat and gloves. That's a bit much, I think.

It's just that kind of a Sunday. Nice and comfy cause it's HOT!!! (Hot outside, that is)

Shoe of the Day

Would you rock these? I would try. The funky brown wedge heel is intriguing. Is it comfortable? I don't know, but the turquoise print allows the funk factor to turn it down a little. Just enough to invite the pretty and romantic in to stay for a while and turn it back up. Wait - a funky, crazy, yet romantic shoe? Yes, I'm intrigued.

Dumb Azz Criminal of the Day

Man makes police mugshot statement with 'F*** You' written on forehead

Who puts a tattoo on his forehead with the words "F*ck You" on it? This dumb azz...read on.

http://www.metro.co.uk/weird/869189-man-makes-police-mugshot-statement-with-f-you-written-on-forehead

Brooks was arrested for burglary, forgery and receiving stolen property and his tattoo gave a fairly clear message to the police.

 

He was picked up by the Redding police department and is currently being held without bail in Shasta county jail, after it was revealed he had violated the terms of his parole for a previous conviction.

While Brooks' tattoo is probably endearing him to other inmates in prison, not everyone has been quite so lucky with their choices of body art. Last year, a mugshot was released of naive radio listener David Jonathan Winkelman, with him displaying his rather unfortunate tattoo. Winkelman and his stepbrother, Richard Goddard, had the logo for hard-rock radio station KORB tattooed on their foreheads after a presenter claimed there was a six-figure sum up for grabs for anyone who did so.

After hearing the offer, the gullible duo headed straight to a body artist, who etched the permanent reminder of their naivety on their faces.Staff at the radio station told the pair it was actually a practical joke when they arrived to collect their prize money, and their mistake was revealed after Winkelman was arrested on a misdemeanour charge and his mugshot made its way onto the web.

OH MAMA! These beautiful bronze babies from Giuseppe Zanotti are so rich and expensive looking, because that's because they are rich and expensive. At a wopping $1,630., you'd have to have it like that to buy these shoes. Or not. I'm just saying...I'd buy them if my pockets allowed. But for now, I'll just continue to stare and salivate.

Dumb Azz Criminal of the Day

Driver smokes joint at police stop...
Who does that? This dumb azz.

http://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/nova-scotia/story/2011/07/11/ns-driver-marijuana-police-checkpoint.html

A brazen driver shocked police by lighting up a joint at a traffic checkpoint in Yarmouth, N.S.
RCMP were conducting a routine vehicle inspection last Wednesday afternoon when the smell of marijuana caught their attention.
Officers walked over to a car with its windows rolled down. Inside was a man casually smoking a joint.
"I honestly don't know what to think," RCMP traffic services Cpl. Andy Hamilton told CBC News.
"It doesn't make any sense to a police officer or the person on the street. You know, this person is obviously a user, a consumer, but why he decided to light up within eyesight of the officers is anybody's guess."
Officers spent an hour trying to determine if the man was impaired. He passed the test, but they charged him with possession of marijuana.
"It appears that this was the one and only joint that was smoked," Hamilton said.
Fortunately for the man, stupidity is not against the law, he added.
"It's probably a good thing that it isn't. We wouldn't be able to write enough tickets."

Fiercely Fabulous: Zoe Saldana

 I think what impressed me most about Zoe was the following quote;

"When I go to the D.R., the press in Santo Domingo always asks, "¿Qué te consideras, dominicana o americana?" (What do you consider yourself, Dominican or American?) I don't understand it, and it's the same people asking the same question. So I say, time and time again, "Yo soy una mujer negra." ("I am a black woman.") [They go,] "Oh, no, tú eres trigueñita." ("Oh no, you are 'dark skinned'") I'm like, "No! Let's get it straight, yo soy una mujer negra." ("I am a black woman.")"

Even though she clearly isn't a "black woman" she understands that because of her dark skin it's what Hollywood will always see first in her when they consider her for a role. Its a shame, but its obviously made her who she is today.  And who is she you may ask well read on...

Zoë Yadira Saldana was born June 19, 1978 in Passaic NJ to a Puerto Rican mother and Dominican father. Her family relocated to the Dominican Republic when she was ten years old.

I found these bad boys on one of my favorite sites, Rue La La. This Lace Peep Toe Sandal from Josephine screams "I'm romantic, yet stylish and trendy." It's the perfect little show-stopper that enhances any outfit. Pair these with some skinny jeans and basic tee for a chic modern look, or you can rock these with your little black dress to amp up the sexy.

It's still hot outside, and living in the concrete jungle, these sandals fit right in with my urban lifestyle. I was never a fan of spending a lot of money on sandals, because to me, they use less fabric and material. It never made sense to spend over $100 on something like that. I'd rather save my funds for a hot stiletto. Perhaps I shouldn't rationalize, for these sandals are totally me, and I don't know where else to find them for cheaper (Amazon maybe???). The braided straps and rope-like design provides the kind of detail that makes the price easier to swallow. Besides, green is my favorite color. What's a girl to do? (buy 'em!)

Fiercely Fabulous: Tilda Swinton

Actress Tilda Swinton covers the August 2011 issue of W magazine, I first laid eyes on Tilda in the movie "Constantine" as the angel Gabriel. This woman is beyond breathtaking in my opinion, given lately I've had a thing visually for androgyny so I could be bias. I've always enjoyed her portrayal of every character she has ever taken on. In her interview she discusses why she chooses the role she's played in Hollywood.

Lynn Hirschberg: Your latest film, We Need to Talk About Kevin, in which you play the mother of a violent, disturbed boy, is one of the most emotionally unsettling movies I have ever seen. Halfway through the film, sometime around the moment when it became apparent that this kid was going to methodically destroy everything around him, I wanted to run. But I was glued to the screen—mostly because your character, who is troubled, quietly enraged, and often unsympathetic, was riveting. In films, mothers are mostly characterized by their love and affection for their children. It takes courage to challenge the sainted idea of maternal perfection. Did that scare you?

HOT MENZ - VAN JONES

I love a man who's not only sexy and handsome, but smart and passionate as well. Meet Van Jones. This activist and champion of "Green Living" is my future baby-daddy. I just hope yall know that. Then again, guys like him don't remain single. Van is probably married with children, living in some suburban neighborhood then travels to the ghetto each morning to be...well....active. POWER TO THE PEOPLE! All jokes aside, Van Jones is an impressive human being. Currently the Senior Fellow at the Center For American Progress, Van Jones served as a Green Jobs Advisor for President Obama, and he also authored a book titled, "The Green Collar Economy."

Van Jones - call me :)

If you're not feeling good like I'm not feeling good today, but must still go out, then this is the sandal for you! (unless of course, you have a job where you cannot wear this type of sandal, then well...I guess you're on your own). For everyone else, this is the sandal for you! I love the blue and red shades found in the beading, which makes this darling flat so chic, yet subtle. The colors pop, and makes it easy to accessorize with a cute pair of shorts or a sweet dress. Whatever your mood, this cutey pie will certainly put you in a better one.

I got so much running around to do, so I came across the perfect running shoe. These "Caveman Trainers" are for men, but as a woman, I have the prerogative to buy a man's shoe and rock it! It's tough to find funky sneaker designs that also feel awesome for women. Besides, green is my favorite color, so I'd proudly wear these bad boys for days like today. Welp - GOTTA GO!

These shoes are strange. Well, the heel is strange. I'm having a hard time deciding whether I think it's more of a shoe to look at or a shoe I could wear. I'm also on the fence whether or not I think the shoe is cute, funky, or just plain weird. I love weird, but this...I just don't know.

Finger Length is Linked to Penis Length? I'm Checking Hands.

Anyone willing to do a separate study? We all know Asian men really aren't the best subjects for this type of research. I'd be happy to learn how black, white, and Latino men fare in a study like this. Someone should get on this STAT! Who's with me? I'll check the hands, you check each penis. Just take pics. Read below for the article.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 Finger length may have link to penis length: study
http://www.reuters.com/article/2011/07/04/us-science-penis-fingers-idUSTRE7631GI20110704


(Reuters Life!) - Hands may say more about their owners than commonly thought, especially in the case of men.

Men whose index fingers are shorter than their ring fingers may have longer penises, according to a South Korean study published in the Asian Journal of Andrology.
"According to our data ... the shorter index (second) finger than ring (fourth) finger you have, the longer stretched penile length you have," wrote Tae Beom Kim at the urology department of Gachon University Gil Hospital in Incheon, South Korea, in reply to questions from Reuters.
Previous studies have shown strong evidence that prenatal testosterone may determine finger development as well as penile length, a relationship that Kim and his colleagues launched a study to focus on.

The study involved 144 men suffering from urological problems that did not affect the length of their penis, which was measured under anesthesia.
The measurements were later compared to the difference in length between their second and fourth fingers on the right hand. Previous studies have shown that the right hand may be more sensitive to the influence of testosterone.
The so-called "digit ratio" in this study refers to the length of the index finger divided by the length of the ring finger. The lower the ratio, the study suggests, the longer the penis may be.
The findings offered "circumstantial evidence that prenatal testosterone is responsible for both traits (penile length and digit formation,)" said Denise McQuade at Skidmore College in New York, who was not involved in the study.
"Digit ratio is non-invasive and easy to measure, yet may provide clues about an individual's prenatal history. Thus, combined with other information, digit ratio offers the potential for clinical usefulness," wrote McQuade in an email reply to questions from Reuters.
Female index and ring fingers tend to be about the same length, she added.
A study last year said that men with long index fingers have a lower risk of prostate cancer.
Researchers at Britain's Warwick University and the Institute of Cancer Researcher found that men whose index finger is longer than their ring finger were one-third less likely to develop the disease than men with the opposite pattern of finger length.

So one of my good friends complained that the shoes I typically pick are expensive. What can I say? The more unique and beautiful the shoe, the more money they tend to cost. It is what it is. However, I've been searching for a cute silver summer sandal, and I found the Phoxy Embellished Wedge
from Payless Shoe Source. Remember when Payless had the wackest shoes? Remember when they fell apart after one wear? Now they only fall apart after five wears, but hey, you get what you pay for!  I love the embellishment and the simple wedge design.

I love Lulus.com and I keep seeing this ad pop up on various sites for the Privileged Bonita Black Strappy Bow Pumps. I must say, I told myself I wouldn't post this particular shoe, but it's just so darn cute! All the bows makes it oh-so-girly - like me! This 4.5 incher is perfect for going out on a date or the club. It's definitely an eye-catcher. Lulus, you won. Obviously your advertising is working. The price is nice, so I'll let it slide.

Fourth of July is almost here, so I thought I'd find some patriotic shoes to display here. Most red, white, and blue combinations look cheesy, but I found these Giuseppe Zanotti Women's Platform Pumps to be sexy and cute. Would I wear them? Probably not, being that I'm more of a flats/flip flops/sneaks kind of gal during the holiday. Unless I'm going to party at night, I really don't see the point in wearing these to a bar-b-que. It has a 1 inch platform, and 4 3/4 inch heel, which ups the hotness factor. I also love the navy blue patent leather, cork platform, and white leather ankle strap, which adds to these shoes unique and stylish look. These babies are cute to look at, but apparently, they are not in stock. I suppose that's all we can do anyway - just look at them.
