    Re: Ungaro: Hmm. Does that mean at some point in time, I might actually be able to afford one of the dresses from Lindsay's collection? Because I liked four of them a lot, which probably means that I have zero taste. #lindsaylohanungaro

    That Anthropologie is highly profitable does not surprise me. They carry the same made-in-a-faraway-sweatshop level of quality as Urban Outfitters(aka, very low quality), but at a much, much higher price point. Quite brilliant, really.

    @NoelleBlue: I got a gorgeously overpriced set of glazed pottery measuring cups there that I adore. I practically opened my wallet and asked them to take out the amount they felt was fair. Hypnotized, I also signed up for their frequent shopper thingy, even though "frequent" and "Anthropologie" won't be mentioned in the same breath in my house very often. #lindsaylohanungaro

    I'm starting to really feel bad for Lindsay Lohan. Her life is just unravelling slowly in such a painful way, I just want to giver her a hug and tell her it will be OK. It's bad enough to have one infantile and moronic parent, but having two? If only Drew Barrymore was her been-there-done that influential and wise big sister. #lindsaylohanungaro

    I love shoes with a passion and have been known to buy expensive pairs solely for the artistry and craftsmanship. But these McQueen shoes not only don't appeal to me at all, they actually generate a visceral anger that I can't quite explain. I wonder if I am alone in my hostility? #ragtrade

    Have any of you ever had those dreams where your body's suddenly bulbous? Your limbs are too big, pieces are becoming increasingly disproportionate ... scary as hell, basically.

    That's what the McQueen/GaGa shoes remind me of. #ragtrade

    Hmm, does the foot sit on top of a giant platform, or is the sole of your foot toward the bottom of the shoe, with most of the bulk on top?

    @Mary McCarthyite: Okay, here is my guess....

    The foot is positioned inside the bulb just like it would be in a normal heel. I assume it felt like walking in REALLY high platforms.

    The Alexander shoe looks like a covered stiletto platform, but honestly, the design could quite easily be similar to what I've been seeing in fetish circles for years:

    @Vivelafat says Sweep the leg, Johnny.: That's what my boyfriend thinks. I, however, feel that the foot must sit a little lower — since in all the pics, it looks like the thinnest part of the leg, ie slightly above the ankle, is right equal with the top of the shoe. The heel of the foot, according to my theory, would sit somewhere near where the stiletto meets the back of the shoe. You follow? #katemossfortopshop

    @Jenna: You know, looking at the picture, I think the line I drew more accurately represents where the top line of a regular heel would be. Meaning, the foot would actually sit lower than the line. I think you are right. I would still like to see a cross section though, I think it probably has teeny tiny unicorns in the sole.
