saw a sneak peek of truth, mike daisey's latest monologue. was hilarious and suprisingly bittersweet actually, mostly because we storytellers are always trying to get to some truth. whether it be our own personal truth or the essential pain of a human truth. check it out, if only for his hilarious and energetic review of a million little pieces. (he needs to get that on youtube).

Shoes on 2nd Floor
59th Street & Lexington Avenue/NYC
hit susan tabak's chic in paris book party last night at louis vuitton in soho. my alaias kept me in partying shape, and came in handy later when we sat down next to bryan bradley at balthazar. he is the only person i can imagine who was not offended by me taking off my shoe and handing it to him across the table, but was in fact welcomed it, and concurred heartily with my alaia obsession. this is not because he is crazy, but because he too is making some shoes these days. we'll have some previews here soon of what's next in his third season of shoes (he's up to 15 lasts my pretties! more fun shoe styles for you and me!)

Stand tall, women of New York
Sure, the platform shoe seems scary. But try the mile-high kicks and see for yourself what it's like at the top
by Meghan Cleary
Ladies, listen up. It's a new season, there is a bit of a nip in the air, and the stores are full of a delicious shoe - the platform.
They are sexier, higher and more fun than ever before.
But "Oh!" you gasp, "they are too high, to wobby, too . . . stripper."
Get over it, and get into it. Platforms are here to stay, and if you are an intelligent woman, which I know you are, you'll master how to make your platforms work for you.
More than Stilettos, more than the Kitten Heel, and much, much more than the sensible Ballet Flat, platforms make you a tower of strength. Tall and majestic, you can now peer above everyone's head and spot that cab two blocks away (and grab it before the non-platformed rabble below you even see it.) You can pluck items off high shelves with ease, and now men must look up to you, much like the ancient Greek actors who wore elevated platforms to raise themselves up from mere mortal to godlike status. . .

jill stuart showed the most unusual peep-toe, stiletto platform, lace-up cutout boots at her show on tuesday. they were wild!
i am beginning to think this is only the beginning of another platform era. there is no sign of the plethora of platforms stopping for spring and beyond!
saw this article on flavorpill in the new york times this weekend. very funny they forgot to mention the co-founder of netsetgoods.com (the precursor to flavorpill) and current editor of the jcreport.
do you have to be white to be considered an innovator and trendsetter in the times sunday magazine?
miss meghan weighs in on the new collaboration between dr. scholls and diego dolcini in the latest issue of the jcreport. watch out. these shoes are HOT, my pretties. look for them to be available in the Spring. you know we'll tell you where.
