Check out these wild platforms by Cesare Paciotti, who named them after burlesque dancer Dita Von Teese.  I don’t really see the Dita reference – after all, she seems like more of a classic pumps kind of gal than a “glam-gothic”, shoe-within-a-shoe girl.

But I have to say, as wacky as these platforms are, I kinda like them – especially the bright blue crocheted pair.  They say, I’m a down to earth gal who loves to knit and can make a great banana loaf, but I haven’t lost my “edge.” Err, right?

Via WWD.

Man, I have got to score a pair of these for my grandmother. Sure, the 5″ heel would probably lead to a broken hip, but these platforms would really take those elastic-waisted polyester pants to the next level.

Seriously, Christian Louboutin must be trying to tap the granny market; what else could explain these hideous shoes? Three shades of beige, an unholy trinity of suede/wood/mannequin plastic, and a handy zipper with a nice big pull-tag for those slowing motor skills. All the hot broads in the nursing homes will be clamouring for them.

You can snap up these fug wonders for just over a thousand bucks, if you can handle it.
