Fabulous Shoes Out In The Wild

Here’s pregnant Gwen Stefani with son, Kingston Rossdale. Gwen’s looking quite good, even if she is dressed for a funeral. I don’t always agree with many of her schizophrenic fashion choices, but she always looks very well put together, even when pregnant.
There’s been rumours flying recently that singer/fashion designer/M.I.L.F. Gwen Stefani may have a friend for little Kingston Rossdale on the way. In this picture, it does indeed appear that Gwen is hiding a baby bump, as well as a pair of L.A.M.B. Miehana’s beneath her baggy pants.
Behold, intrepid shoe explorers, the DKNY Vanessa-Vulcanized pump. Because underneath my cold, hard fashionista exterior is a hard-core nerd girl (a stylish one, at that), when I first saw the name of this shoe, my thoughts were “No Vulcan would ever wear something like on their feet!” I then lifted my fists to the heavens and cried out “Donna Karaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaan!!”
Of course, the DKNY Vanessa-Vulcanized pump does not refer to Vulcans, neither the race nor the planet, but to the process the rubber sole underwent to give it more durability. However, in Donna Karan’s and DKNY’s ongoing mission to seek out strange new fashions, somebody stepped in a big puddle of fug. I’ve never supported the cross-breeding of high heels and running shoes, and this is why. The DKNY Vanessa-Vulcanized pump is just another love child in a long line of heel-runners hybrids (inlcuding the L.A.M.B. Denver). However, the DKNY Vanessa-Vulcanized pump is based on the far more attractive DKNY Vanessa pump:
Yesterday I posted about Gwen Stefani’s L.A.M.B. label and some of the horrendous specimens it has vomitted in the fashion world’s diamond encrusted toilet. I also said that I believed that Gwen would get better at her fashion endevours as time went on, and today, I have evidence to support that theory:
Who else could be responsible for a shoe like this other than Gwen Stefani and her promotional fashion machine, L.A.M.B.? This is the L.A.M.B. “Denver” Wedge Pump, and I can totally envision Gwen wearing these. Unfortunately, in my vision, she’s flailing around to the sickeningly repetitive “Hollaback Girl” and I’m getting close to shoving a Harajuku Girl down her throat.
Gwen, a few times we’ve been down this track. I do not like this shoe. Why? Well, first of all, it’s ugly. Second of all, it looks like something that Baby Spice would have worn in 1996, crossed with the shoes Jennifer Lopez wore in that “Jenny from the Block Video”. Y’know, those hideous Chuck Taylor stiletto boot hybrids? Yeah, Gwen somehow made that worse. Bananas!
I’m just not sure how I feel about Gwen Stefani and L.A.M.B.’s approach to boots:
On those days when you feel like you would rather relax in your most comfortable velour track suit, you may rather avoid the concept of slipping into a high heel stiletto pump.
Do you remember when Gwen Stefani was just a girl who sang for No Doubt?
The girl who would flail around stage randomly in skin tight, leopard print capris and running shoes, looking like some kind of drunken pixie?
