Spotted this Jimmy Choo ad on Jezebel’s list of spring’s worst ads. Sure, the bottom photo is dumb…“Umm, like, where’s the beach? I’m like totally lost!” But the top photo? A woman with a gorgeous, sharp stiletto pressing into her (admittedly, undernourished) thigh? That ad is smokin’ hot.
At first glance, this is a pretty swoonworthy shoe.
Of course, one can expect a Jimmy Choo to be gorgeous and unfortunately, made of cows, and this shoe is no exception. Looking at this picture, I assumed the gold, textured surface was made of well-tailored sequins or something. I thought the ‘python’ in the name of the shoe referenced a look rather than, well, a snake.
But looking closer at the enlarged picture on the Jimmy Choo site, I realized, gee, that really looks like actual python. Yikes. I suppose this is terribly naive of me, but somehow I didn’t think that people actually made party shoes out of snakes in this age of fabulous faux technologies. I mean, who got the idea to capture writhing, killer pythons and fashion sparkly stiletto pumps out of them?
Quelle bizarre!
