When I saw a set of photos on one of the paparazzi sites labeled “Shauna Sand and her boyfriend rent bicycles,” I thought to myself, Surely she doesn’t wear her trademark lucite stripper heels while bike riding… How naive! Of course Shauna Sand — famous for, um, once being married to Lorenzo Lamas and wearing lucite heels in ridiculous situations — wears lucite heels while riding a bike! More photographic proof after the jump! Keep reading »

Ciara’s “Gimme Dat” Video Is A Fashion Spectacle
In Ciara‘s new video, “Gimme Dat,” the singer sets the freaky fashion bar high. Among her super-sexy style flourishes: a sort-of fanny pack that spells out “FLY” paired with a pair of converse sneakers that are attached to see-through stripper heels. Add to that outrageous ensemble a pair of extra-short Daisy Dukes and a mesh and leather bustier, and you are ready to go. I’ll have to try wearing that to work one day next week and see how it goes over. Keep reading »
An Artist Turns Stripper Shoes Into Planters
Over at Broadsheet, Tracy Clark-Flory shares the amazing work of artist Rachel Mahlke, who turns stripper shoes into … planters. Yep, you heard right. Mahlke removes the strap over the toe portion of a stripper shoe, drills holes in the platform for drainage, and plants it with cacti or succulents. “Each reclaimed stiletto planter, sold individually, costs in the ballpark of $55 to $80,” Creative Loafing reports. But why stiletto planters? The description for this one says it’s “a stark reminder of how hard it is to … well, to be a woman.” We’re not going to argue with that. [Broadsheet] Keep reading »
These Fiber Optic High Heels Will Light Up Your Toes
Fiber optic shoes? Now that’s something new. Sure, we’ve seen light-up heels before. Strippers have been wearing glow in the dark heels for years, and Rodarte has picked up the glowing shoes trend, too. This time around, Italian designer Francesca Castagnacci has created a high heel outfitted with fiber optics that transform regular pumps into illuminated show-stoppers. So how’d she do it? “Utilizing new technologies in advanced textile creation, Castagnacci wove delicate fiber optic materials and LEDs throughout the shoes, creating a work of art that’s absolutely otherworldly,” Pipeline reports. We want video. [Pipeline] Keep reading »
High Heels With Hamsters In Them Bound To Raise PETA Ire
These high heels appear to have hamsters (gerbils?) embedded in the platform under the toe. We here at The Frisky pride ourselves on our extensive knowledge of extreme shoes, from crazy stripper shoes to the highest heels ever made. But animals? In shoes? That’s gone too far. Thankfully, or disappointingly, depending on your relationship to animal rights, we do not believe these shoes exist in reality. They’re from If Shoes Could Kill, a blog that showcases some of the absolutely most freakiest shoes around, real and pretend. We’d probably rather wear these banana shoes, personally, than clomp around with the hamsters. [If Shoes Could Kill] Keep reading »
