Happy Feet

by

You can’t be blue if you’re wearing these shoes by Georgina Goodman. The following shoe traits are known for their antidepressant effects:

  • Day-Glo pink
  • Tail fin
  • Striped soles

I think these shoes would have felt right at home in Madonna’s Borderline video. I still want the graffiti skirt and fluorescent shoes from that one. Madonna, call me if you have those in storage somewhere.

Shoes for happy feet, now available at My Wardrobe for $577.50

I can’t find a Youtube clip of Steve Martin’s “happy feet” line (the penguins got it from HIM), but I did find this transcript of a Saturday Night Live monologue that has both happy feet and Steve’s bit on the drug that makes you small. Really small. Enjoy!

  2. I love that color. How can you not be happy just looking at it.

    By the way I totally sang boderline at Karaoke last night. Great song!

  6. i sooo want stripey shoes, i think i told you that… and these, even better that the stripes are a surprise!

  8. Heaven; but I want that pink satin dress from Material Girl, with proper boobs to fill it. And these shoes.
    oh, and the diamond necklace she throws in the bin.
    xx

    Isn’t it great that Steve Martin still doesn’t suck? Please god he just stays that way and doesn’t make some weird pronouncement on minorities that destroys all respect.

  11. Borderline, feel like i’m going to lose my mind (great i’m going to be singing that all day). I WANT THOSE SHOES!! Come to mama shoesies.

  14. I realize I’m just saying the same thing as everyone else, but the soles of those shoes are awesome!!

  15. Hello Modern 1980’s…. I was a day glow gal in middle school, faux leather pants, green pants.. I could stop a car… I love the epic pick..

  17. You know we are in major love with this Color Miss Wendy, although the shoes themselves might be a bit of a stretch for us!

    Grins & Giggles for the week ahead,

  22. I want Madonna’s “Borderline” skirt! I have always loved it!

    We will either have to share it or fight for it. 🙂

  23. I’ve found that eating a mountain of Combos can make you small, but that’s not really a pill or a desired side effect.

  31. Awww, that striped sole is too cute! These are the like the flamboyantly gay cousins of fish feet.

    Yay!
