Solely Tickled Pink !

American Civil Rights Leader Susan B. Anthony says "Independence is happiness."~ And so is Artist Gary Hogben's blissful painting "Marilyn Monroe" and Designer Giuseppe Zanotti's upbeat sole for Fall'09 !.

Great painting! I know people will think it's very pop-art (a term even Warhol hated I believe), but it's quite striking and bold. I'm also always baffled how Zanotti can have the sleekest most elegant shoes, then go completely rock and now gone 80s crazy. Haha... not something I'd wear but I can appreciate what they're trying to achieve here... Hope you had a lovely weekend :)

The Anthology said...

I love Marilyn Monroe and everything she stands for.

Love the soles too -- they're so girly and punk at the same time. How would you wear them?

-Tori, I thought of YOU when I discovered this sole! Yippee, I can't wait! Thanks for finding out!!!=}

-Marie, OMG! YOU should add these to your collection of Leopard print soles, I can picture you wearing these with one of your FAB outfits!

-Tracy-Girl, Hooray for the Suffrage movement! I luv Susan B. Anthony, just think if it weren't for her ... nah, lets not even think about that!!!

-WendyB, YOU would make this sole ROCK !!!

-Niki B., OMG! it solely does remind me of the sole with the built in sock! I think the pink leopard print solely makes it Funky and Fabulous!

-The Anthology, ME TOO! I would wear these soles with the Elie Tahari black leggings I want, a FAB oversized cashmere or silk Tee,a FAB black leather motorcycle jacket,a funky tam and a pair of FAB Large Silver HOOP earrings! Or I would pair them with a mini dress, a HIPPY FABULOUS Fake Furry BLACK vest, leggings,& FAB Necklace! Sounds Tacky but I promise it's tres chic! I know YOU would look FABULOUS!
