Prada Mens Shoes Spring Summer 2008

I noticed thru my blog traffic that many individuals tried looking or googled for the Prada Mens Shoes Spring Summer 2008. Well, im doing you the favour..here you go..The Scooby Doo era is back..

and my pick are these 3 pairs..

Eh?

If u remember my posting about Manolo's for Men, i came across a website that commented and surprisingly read my blog. Here's a copy of their article..

Manolo Blahnik's Men's Shoe Collection

The six-piece footwear collection incorporates bright blues, reds and greens and provides a new twist on the classic Oxford shoe, with open heels and toes. But "It's not a big collection," reflects the designer.

So far his first men’s collection after an absence of nearly a decade has brought a mixed reception. A blogger named "The Gentleman’s Style" on www.outrageousshoeshopper.blogspot.com refers to them as “Rubbish,” the stuff to “give you nightmares..It’s like a confused cross dresser.” However, www.fashionfromspain.com refers to the collection as “irresistible models.”

Recently featured in www.Vogue.com, "You've Got Mail," the small men’s collection includes Kelly, a red suede Oxford brogue, a blue open-toed suede sling back (the Afiyet) and leopard print sandal called the Bir.

Refering to Blahnik’s new blue open-toed slingback, ABC News article, “Man-olo Blahnik's Probably Aren't for Most Men,” raises the question whether red blooded American men would actually wear them. “In a land where pink shirts and hair wax have only recently become acceptable, where some people still think metrosexual means homosexual, blue suede slingbacks and leopard print sandals are about as likely to catch on as men's eyeliner and the murse (men's purse).”

Mr Manolo Blahnik

Hmm..i didnt know that i could be that influential..and apologies to Mr Manolo..its all in my honest opinion..seriously..change those bloody sissy design and suit the gentleman's world..trying to experiment on mens fashion and twisting it to look feminine is not a bonus..we men dont follow the ladies..the ladies follow us men..

Butch?

Girls can wear jeans
And cut their hair short
Wear shirts and boots
'Cause it's OK to be a boy
But for a boy to look like a girl is degrading

Degrading?

Thats how the world works..im not being sexist or anything here..if there's a sissy men crossing a road, he'll be a joke to everyone..but when a butch lesbian walks by, she represents strength and power..coz she looks like 'dont mess with me' kinda thang..

Am i right?

The High Life

I came across a local magazine that i read this month. My sister's fren was featured in that magazine. She was interviewed about her fashion sense and all her most priced fashion merchandise displayed for the world to see. What a fashionista..and all her designer frocks were the envy for most of us..

I sms'ed my sister :

Me : Your fren XXX is featured in XXX magazine this month..ruangan tayang harta.. bersusun lagi all her IT bags and shoes..

Sister : Oh ya, if it means showing off all her hutang to the world.

Me : Why u say so? She's Mr. XXX nye wife kan? Loaded what..

Sister : Yah..tapi rich apa nyer..hutang keliling pinggang laki bini..nak live lavish, man-man lah..ikut kemampuan..jgn sampai meminjam ngn kawan2, hutang tak bayar, tapi handbag bertambah..a millionaire doesnt mean ur rich ok?

Me : Ye ke..thats bad..

Sister : She's trying too hard..kalau ikutkan nafsu jadi camtu lah. semua org nk handbag & kasut best2. tp kalau tak mampu, duk diam je..and be grateful of what u have at the moment. better than nothing..

I believe what my sister said is right. We always want to look good, and feel great. No doubt, what you wear portrays ur personality, taste and status. But is it all worth it? When u have to suffer and start borrowing money here and there to satisfy your material needs? What are you trying to prove? That shows that you're afraid of who you are...

When we look at some1 carrying a bag, or wearing the IT season shoes, how we wish to own them and envious of their affordability. That would be unhealthy. I think off the same way as well, no doubt, a lil jealousy deep inside each and everyone one of us. But to stop you from feeling that way, think of it as being happy for that individual.

He or she must have had work hard. Also, look back at what u have hanging in your wardrobe. Coz when u walk down strutting the streets of KL, there will be those who envy of what u wear and what u own..not many people have the same privilege.

Its a way to be grateful..coz humans are never satisfied with what they have..we always want more and to live the very best in life..be it cars, condos, cell phones, wardrobes, or whatever material things..we do live in a material world..people do take u more seriously when ur in a far better league than others..thats how the world works..but bear in mind, not everything expensive is beautiful and not anything cheap looks lousy..It takes a good eye on taste..You can save or starve yourself if you want..its your rite..but when u start borrowing money from frens, u'll letting the whole world knows ur troubled..for all the wrong reasons..

If u carry yourself well with your intelligance & groom, you'll get all the respect in the world..you dont need a RM2,000 shoe to prove that..

My DVD Nites

I am so far behind on my movie watching. I dont like to go to the movies anyway, i prefer them to be watched at home on DVD's. I find it annoying to go watch a movie when u get stupid people around you who doesnt know how to behave and respect others while watching. Cell phone ringings, talking, smells, or whatever things that happen in the cinema will actually loose my temper and spoil my mood. i've experienced it EVERYTIME i go to the movies. But if it's the Golden Class seats, im in..eventho it cost u almost RM35-RM60 to watch a movie, but i know not many people can afford it, and im strained away from pathetic losers.

I got hold of these 4 pirated DVD's to watch at my home sweet home..

i tested it at home, and tak boleh bukak..so sakit hati ok..im so gonna find that DVD guy at ampang..the rest below are all watchable..hehehe

People who know me knows thats i like to watch movies that dont require my brains to function too much. Im not into serious drama or killing or scifi movies..i like BIMBO..HORROR and stupid fun movies..

I find Bimbo movies are aspiring..it gives u lesson of how to tackle life and to response to a certain situation correctly or shud i say..viciously..say things shown on Ugly Betty..there are many points in there of how to tackle office politics and how to WIN! I know it sounds stupid to some of you, but i dont care! I dont blondycare..
