Madonna's Pistol Heels
Are these shoes hot, or do they promote violence?

... And speaking of heels.  These Chanel pistol heels Madonna rocked to Monday night's premiere of her directorial debut Filth and Wisdom, are hot.  I saw them today in the New York Daily News. But the shoes are $2,200. (Do guns even cost that much?) It also looks like the 80s Material Girl is leaving hubbie, Guy Ritchie.  I hope these shoes don't represent how angry she is. Do you think the pistol-heeled shoes promote violence, or are they simply a fashion statement? Or are they both?

    They are funny! I'd much rather her guns be pointed into the ground than at someone's head. I'm not a member of the NRA and I deplore gun violence but I do think we should keep a sense of humor about these things. And fashion is a good venue for this kind of play.

About Elizabeth Wellington
I’m a Libra so I’m all about pretty things. We of the scales sign know what we like, and our standards are high. So I can’t help but love fashion – one day I will get that Diane von Furstenberg wrap and those Christian Louboutin shoes. And fragrances? My favorite right now is Chanel Mademoiselle. As for makeup, can we say MAC? So let’s thank the Greek goddess of beauty, Aphrodite, that a true fashionista can find everything she needs right here in Philly. I’ve covered fashion here for six years, and I have traveled to New York, Los Angeles and Paris to write about local and national designers. Let me tell you, there is no place where people wear midnight Eagles green or Phillies red with such wild abandon as they do on the west side of the Ben Franklin Bridge. Sound familiar? This blog is for you.
