the origin of the spacegrrl shoes
while at the fleuvog store in chicago, the talkative saleswoman told us about the origin of the spacegrrl shoes.
quite simply, john fluevog did an absolut vodka ad, using the bottle as the heel of a shoe. here's the ad.
i believe she said that the original ad shoe is in a museum in Canada now.
which leads me to another thought-- i've come to regard some of my shoes, mostly the fluevogs, as little works of art. i display them, rather than hiding them away in my closet. i like just looking at them.
not that i want to try and rationalize my purchases, but they are becoming a... collection, aren't they? i was just thinking that some day, some young woman is going to get all of those fluevogs and it'll be the coolest thing ever. well, i hope.
