Let's try to do better this week, mmm'kay ladies?

I don't know what it was about last week, but it seemed celebrities all over the world were in collective cahoots to distract attention away from their otherwise palatable ensembles - though in a couple of cases, "palatable" is a generous stretch - with some of the most hideous pairs of pumps, pooties and pootie peep-toes money can buy.

Yes, that's right, pootie peep-toes.

Maybe it's that I'm not avant garde enough to appreciate the sort of multi-strapped, color-paneled, flower-appliquéd detailing you see below, and if that is the case, I'm fine with that, because I'd sooner slip on a pair of BCBGirls or Jessica Simpsons over some Hot-Topic-looking Louboutins any day of the week.

Fingers crossed we'll soon see the demise of all things pootie and the reemergence of some lovely Diors, Zanottis, Atwoods and Valentinos...

Enjoy.

I may want her figure, but I say "good day" to her shoe closet.

Even the country star after whom these Choos got their name has more sense than to wear these

Surprisingly, no, she's not doing an advert for Candie's-Japan.

A grown-up prom dress deserves grown-up prom shoes, don't you think, gorgeous?

And this is the twin whose style I find less confusing...

At least we weren't forced to look at her in this get-up again...
Of course, I'll find a way to forgive you, but two days in a row? Really?
