GENTLEMEN PREFER COLOUR
Imelda is rushing out the door to hop the G5 to Milan for the start of Men’s Fashion Week. I’ve packed all the essentials for my two weeks abroad – Depend Pads (it’s just not cricket to puddle in your Prada’s when you stumble into a bevy of nude models) - check, panty girdle (tempting aforementioned nude models with my constructed lady shape) - check, TASER (in case I’m seated next to Mary-Kate & Ashley - I’ll take those model stealing crack head babies down) - check.
I’ll keep it short and sweet – COLOUR! There simply aren’t enough colours in the world, or in your hombre’s wardrobe, so while I join the mile high club, clap your peepers on these bold primary options - PINK, BLUE, RED, GREEN & YELLOW!
Gorgeous!!!
Love # 3, 6, 7, 10, 13, 15, 16, 21, 24, 26 to 29. (I think it had been easy to say what I love less)
But I'm not lucky... I wouldn't see men here wearing those colour shoes, they're too conservative for that...
To confort me I'll think that it's a good thing so all the eyes will be on my colour shoes. ;) LOL
XXXXXXXX

Pink is especially enticing.

Gorgeous! The blues and greens especially. I would follow a man down the street if he was wearing #2,15 or 16. And then I'd wrestle him for the shoes if they were a size 40.

Seeker - true! What are men so afraid of colour and commitment?
WB - the pink satin derby tie really lifts my skirt.
SW - now that's the kind wrestling I like to watch!

Take me with you!
Men + Fashion = Happy Secretista!!

Some very tasty treats there. The Prada boots are a bit "Wellington" though.

Editor - no such thing, not when Yohji's involved.
S - You'd have to sit up the back with Imelda's monogramed LV luggage! But we could trade fart jokes...I'll pick up at JFK! :)
SKM - I'm not sure I'll be joining the wait-list but the colours, oh the colours!

I think my favorite are the last pair from Prada, I find everything else to be too intense. And even though I like the yellow shoes, I would never want to see them on a man.

I love all the pink and magenta.
Which would you choose for your boytoy?
Posted by: enc | June 22, 2008 at 09:38 AM
Modelizer - Not even on the despot?
ENC - none! I'd get them all for myself!

Sweet baby jesus. I'm disoriented. I'm terrified. I'm amazed.

hi! found your blog via sister wolf. Firstly can I just say, I am SO impressed you were on kerri anne! Just think, if you had danced the rhumba with her...you could have been PM by now. And also, the gentleman sandwiched between pretty blue shoes at 16, 17 and 19. *giggle. swoon* mustache!

I don't like pink shoes for men. But I don't know why.
About the security vests, I think is a positive thing to do, here in Spain we must to wear since last year, and a lot of deaths have been avoided.

Awesome photo montage! I used to work at an inner city high school and my students loved shoes like #25 . . . kids are always right on the pulse of fashion!

Wow, those shiny pink shoes (no.4) are amazingly awesome.
Oh the bullring is terrible at sale time. You get some pretty mean shoppers who bash you with their handbags. I am at an unfortunate height and get the brunt of the bag bashing. Ha, so I avoid avoid avoid!

Those pink Westwoods are just brilliant, I'd love Mr Brown to get some!

omg, I tagged you but now I see you're going away...sadly I am too lazy to change my post.
Have a great time in Milan...

Love the colors, especially the indigo/ice blue models.
But to tell the truth and nothing but the truth, if my boyfriend wore any of those, I wouldn't go anywhere public with him.
Posted by: Mary-Laure | June 24, 2008 at 04:05 AM
Te - I'll be laughing all morning!
MW - there's always next spring/summer for the rhumba...it would appear we share the same taste in gentlemen!
CC - that's to be expected and not surprising. what kid what's to wear pink satin dress shoes to school?
Winnie - smart move.
MW - I'd like a pair myself and the purple Rykiel Homme.
V&V - I can still have a look but I don't do tags :(
ML - REALLY? Not even the simple green or pink derby ties?
Posted by: Imelda Matt | June 24, 2008 at 06:26 AM
those boys have as many styles in shoes as the girls.
Gotta love those yellow booties.
Posted by: a dreamer | June 24, 2008 at 05:27 PM
Whoa! I would love to see the men around me in these colors.
