Hey there, Been wondering what a possessed maker of shoes does when she can’t make shoes? Answer: She starts making animal faces out of formed leather. I have been asked to do a tutorial, but really don’t have the time right now – I’m not planning on selling them or making them for other people, […]

highs.heels.latex.shoes - Seller at ebay. These were $53AUD with free post. Like their black sisters, they are a nice shoe, vamp could be lower but the higher vamp makes for easier wearing to be honest. They are leather. Maybe the finish could be a little better but again, for $50? There are worse shoes in […]

Hello, I recently bit the bullet and bought a pair of the shoes from this seller at ebay. They are incredibly cheap at around $50AUD so I was incredibly skeptical. I also have recently seen one of the videos from their youtube site in which the heel falls straight off the ballet shoe. I was […]

Well, that pretty much sums it up to be honest. Apart from almost being blown away, it was kind of fun. We got very little film as the wind was stuffing around with the audio. However, there’s hundreds of still shots of me walking around Hilarity plus. Anyway I put my corset on while standing […]

Hello Hello I have been looking at these sandals for a little while now. They are by an Aussie designer by the name of Tony Bianco. They’re being done to death at at the moment, even the shitty online “i have to have it now even if it’s cheap and looks like rubbish” copy fashion […]

Hello there, and how are you? I’m not sure if you are aware that I purchased three pair of “pigalle” from an online store purporting to be selling last year’s stock of authentic Christian Louboutin (CL) shoes. Example 1. Example 2. Example 3. Anyway, as I knew nothing about CL shoes prior to this episode […]

I bought this pattern a little while ago, and have been procrastinating over making it up. I serviced my sewing machine, and it actually raises neat little stitches again. No more leather sewing. Bad Suzan. Bad. Very Bad. So. I got my bum into gear, copied the pattern and tried to make head and tail […]

Hello, I’ve been spending a little time chatting away to like minded folk about the styles of ballet heels. I did the wander in the heel-less boots (HERE) and the conversation shifted to wedge shaped heels for ballet boots. The above ballet heel was made by a person I do not know, but formed the inspiration […]

How do? Okay they’re not “rinky-dink-real-bought-from-the-store-without-a-heel real”, however they are ballet heels without a heel. I saw something online the other day, KathTea pointed them out to me – they look impossible only due to the uppers being made from vinyl and flimsy at that. However, they may be supposed to be used in the […]

Hello Another project I have been working on over the last week or so. I’ve had a similar conversation with a few people over pointe shoes vs ballet heels and whether it would be possible to make a “real” ballet heel from a combination of the two. Sure it can be done. For me, squeezing another […]

On my neverending search for interesting footwear, I came across these! Definitely on my covet list. They’re Dr Martens. With heels. Well placed ones. :-D Not so high, but high enough not to be too low. Priced like Dr Martens are, but there are nothing comparative on the market due to the air cushioned sole. […]

Got these a while back and haven’t even shown them off. They have a 6″ heel proper – not like Devious who say 5.5″ is 6. They are stable and the heel hasn’t fallen off, or broken, which is surprising for such a cheap pair of shoes. I was in a sex shop looking for […]
