I recently went and saw it in Melbs and it was so inspiring. So much beautiful art. Makes me want to go and watch all his movies again!</p> <p><a href="http://www.acmi.net.au/timburton.aspx" rel="nofollow">http://www.acmi.net.au/timburton.aspx</a> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/weird-ballet-boots/page/2#post-220714 Fri, 24 Sep 2010 00:54:01 +0000 Lisa 220714@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh my those are scary! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/weird-ballet-boots#post-220668 Thu, 23 Sep 2010 22:38:20 +0000 Katiepea 220668@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hmmmmmm, takes all kinds to make a world, I guess. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/weird-ballet-boots#post-220648 Thu, 23 Sep 2010 21:20:37 +0000 tarzy 220648@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>"I read it in a book." Okay, Maya ... if you say so. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/weird-ballet-boots#post-220598 Thu, 23 Sep 2010 18:47:45 +0000 RoseandJoan 220598@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I have actually seen a couple of really amazing photo shoots of Elizabeth Hurley and Nigella Lawson wearing this type of heel. They are without doubt fetish wear. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/weird-ballet-boots#post-220592 Thu, 23 Sep 2010 18:40:45 +0000 rute 220592@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>eh eh.... bizarre! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/weird-ballet-boots#post-220576 Thu, 23 Sep 2010 17:39:25 +0000 Maya 220576@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The brand Pleaser is for strippers, prostitutes, and people who hang out at swingers resorts and are into fetish wear and kink. These are not "going out" or "leaving the bedroom/curb/stage" shoes. </p> <p>This design isn't new either. I have posted about this before but will again: You'll find an even more exaggerated version in this book about shoes whose title escapes me for the moment--it's something of astonishing originality, like...."Shoes." </p> <p>Anyway, there is a chapter called "shoes of scandal" and they show a version very much like these, only the heel extends beyond the tip of the boot. They were Victorian, I think. I recall the blurb went something like: "At once crippling the wearer into submission, but also providing her with a formidable weapon."</p> <p>Clearly that paragraph and image have been burned into my mind forever... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/weird-ballet-boots#post-220570 Thu, 23 Sep 2010 17:19:19 +0000 Anonymous 220570@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Did you see that they also come kneehigh!? I want a pair of these to set in the front hall for halloween. They could also be planters, maybe with cacti, on the front porch. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/weird-ballet-boots#post-220567 Thu, 23 Sep 2010 17:14:04 +0000 tarzy 220567@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Maya - I certainly didn't mean to malign Tim Burton! I love him too. I think he's got an amazing imagination, and these shoes are something I can see him coming up with in a movie - creeping along on their own, not attached to anything. In an animated film they'd be fantastic - but for actual women I find them a bit creepy! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/weird-ballet-boots#post-220529 Thu, 23 Sep 2010 15:57:23 +0000 Beth 220529@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Scarlet! Ew, ew, ew! </p> <p>Thanks for the mental image. :P</p> <p>April, they're *not* streetwear? Huh. And I was going to wear them to my next eligibility meeting. :O </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/weird-ballet-boots#post-220489 Thu, 23 Sep 2010 14:02:48 +0000 Barbara 220489@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The one (negative) review said it all. What was that designer thinking? Or was he not thinking? It could NOT have been a woman that designed those instruments of torture! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/weird-ballet-boots#post-220458 Thu, 23 Sep 2010 11:07:04 +0000 April 220458@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Ladies, don't be too disturbed by these. This is not a fashion trend or streetwear -- it's fetishwear. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/weird-ballet-boots#post-220448 Thu, 23 Sep 2010 08:51:04 +0000 Louise 220448@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>My toes are screaming just looking at those!! x </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/weird-ballet-boots#post-220447 Thu, 23 Sep 2010 06:34:37 +0000 Marley 220447@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>No WAY!

That's what I thought too! They're like some evil horror movie monster, or something a Tim Burton character would wear! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/weird-ballet-boots#post-220281 Thu, 23 Sep 2010 00:42:52 +0000 catgirl 220281@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>They're vaguely CREEPY, actually... like something menacing tiptoeing up behind you. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/weird-ballet-boots#post-220279 Thu, 23 Sep 2010 00:39:08 +0000 NK 220279@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Wild and alluring?
