I bought a pair of earrings at a rummage sale for 10 cents. They were old fashioned screwbacks, a hanging glass oval with small flies (yes, the insect) set on top of each of them, encrusted with some sort of stones. As I handed the 10 cents to the woman with the cash box wrinkled her nose and said “how ugly”. Later I took them to a jeweler friend to find out that they were French, Victorian, Tested 18k gold, Crystal and the stones set in the flies were flawless mine cut diamonds. She said that they were worth well over $1500.
I don’t understand why so many women go crazy for Manolos.
‘Cos they’re sexy? Or at least, I find them hot :)
I hear they’re as painful as you’d expect heels that high to be though, so they’re not for me.
Oh, and they cost a packet, so they’re a bit too rich for my wallet, unfortunately!
While I’m not huge into Manolos (at least not yet), I do think they’re a lot more interesting than most shoes I’ve seen. They’re really for people who want people to notice their shoes.
