A Women's Right to Shoes

My very fashionable friend recently mentioned how Sex and the City served to mythologize Manolo Blahniks, which led to a discussion of the shoes themselves. Are they really as fabulous as Carrie and her friends made them out to be? In the midst of this wondering, we found ourselves on the hunt for a pair of gold metallic shoes to go with my friend's beautiful green dress. Scurrying in and out of Michigan Ave. stores, we couldn't seem to find the right pair until we headed into Neiman Marcus. There my friend found a pair of strappy Manolo Blahniks in the palest of golds. The Perle was one of those classic strappy metallic evening numbers that every woman should own. The heel wasn't too high and the T-strap made her want to cha-cha to the soundtrack of Dirty Dancing. Needless to say, my friend's Blahniks would do any Carrie Bradshaw fan proud.
