These shoes and the story behind them fascinated me when I came across it. I like to collect this sort of thing as I find it on the internet, and the original link can be found here.
I found the video included with the article to be particularly disturbing and creepy, more so than can be described by other adjectives like "weird" or "painful." It did not shock as much as creep me out because all the message really sends is another one, one we have all heard before and seen in our popular media and culture, of women as our bearers of beauty, the ones who carry this burden exclusively. Simply a parody is created.
Reportedly, the creators of these shoes are asking Lady Gaga to use them in a video. It would not be the first time she has done this, as in the "Bad Romance" video when she wore those bizarre armadillo shoes.
