    Elle Magazine, December 2009.

    Elle gave a Hermes Scarf to 16 "Tastemakers" and told to make a look of their own.

    This Guy, Marcus Holmlund, paired his with High Heeled Boots, also from Hermes.

    He also has a fashion blog.

    In honor of this month’s Smoke & Mirrors feature in ELLE magazine (p. 340, December ‘09), “MH.edits” dissects the outfit I styled exclusively for the shoot as done in the “fashion focus” posts. So glad I had the opportunity to style myself – as myself! Having access to the unlimited racks of designer duds was a total dream come true. You’ll usually find me with a scarf somewhere on my person, so, when I was asked to assemble a look that included at least one Hermes scarf, I was set. Inspired by years of watching my favorite musicians incorporate scarves into their personal styles, my look was prompted by memories of Steven Tyler’s scarved mic stand, Janet Jackson’s handkerchief (from the “Alright” video), Mozart, Keith Richards, Prince, and Axl Rose’s headband. It was all about celebrating my love for music and fashion – which is what S&M’s all about. The result’s a combination of hard and soft, masculine and feminine, today and yesterday. An homage to rock & roll. Thanks again to everyone at ELLE for coining me a “tastemaker” and making the whole experience so enjoyable. Such an honor. (Cheers to my fellow featured bloggy baby, Krystal, at whatisrealityanyway)

    Back in May of 2008 I posted in the "High Heels Wanted" section.

    I was looking for a particular boot from Nine West. I had bought a pair in brown and really liked them. When I say a pair on eBay in black, I hesitated in bidding, and lost them.

    I enabled an eBay alert for anytime a listing with "Nine West Emilo" appeared. Well, after almost a year and a half, I found the boot I have been looking for in my size. I paid a little more than I had hoped, but these boots were only worn a few times, and indoors only.

    I liked the black ones so much, I wore them for almost 2 straight days. Even slept in them :chuckle: . Only took them off to shower.

    Scary Shoe News - Designer Shoes.com

    in For Everybody

    I think a Lot of Us have already noticed this is the stores.

    Scary News for Size 12 Shoes

    DesignerShoes.com was started because we know how hard it is to find size 12 shoes. Even though this is the fastest growing size category in the shoe industry..... shoe manufacturers do not understand who we are or what we want.

    We've spent hundreds of hours and thousands of dollars travelling to meet with shoe manufacturers, trying to educate them and lobby for our size 12's.

    Alas, now that the economy has gone through a rough patch, some of our manufacturers have decided to save money by not making shoes in size 12 for Spring. We are puzzled/ angry and busy calling them on this. But the decision was made and the orders.... without size 12's ... are in the factories now. It is too late for Spring.

    We will fight back by refusing to carry any of the other styles that they do NOT make to size 12.... it will hurt our smaller size customers. And it will hurt our revenues. But we hope it will help make the point that we are serious about our commitment to only carry shoes that go up, at least, to size 12.

    Of course this will not just affect you as DesignerShoes.com customers. These sizes from these brands will not exist anywhere. But DesignerShoes.com is going to make some sacrifices and lobby hard to get the sizes back.

    We appreciate your moral support as we take on this battle! We may also ask you for your ideas as we continue. Some of our manufacturers have told us that they want to work with us on the next season's size 12 line - that's Fall 2010. We are thinking about putting together a survey for you that will help identify what you want.

    In the mean time.... please do let us know your thoughts and lets stay in touch on this issue!

    Thanks,

    ALL PUNS INTENDED:

    Two antennas met on a roof, fell in love and got married. The ceremony wasn't much, but the reception was excellent.

    A jumper cable walks into a bar. The bartender says, "I'll serve you, but don't start anything."

    Two peanuts walk into a bar, and one was a salted.

    A dyslexic man walks into a bra.

    A man walks into a bar with a slab of a sphalt under his arm, and says: "A beer please, and one for the road."

    Two cannibals are eating a clown. One says to the other: "Does this taste funny to you?"

    "Doc, I can't stop singing 'The Green, Green Grass of Home'. "That sounds like Tom Jones Syndrome." "Is it common?" "Well, it's not unusual."

    Two cows are standing next to each other in a field. Daisy says to Dolly, "I was artificially inseminated this morning." "I don't believe you," says Dolly. "It's true; no bull!" exclaims Daisy.

    An invisible man marries an invisible woman. The kids were nothing to look at either.

    Deja Moo: The feeling that you've heard this bull before.

    I went to buy some camouflage trousers the other day, but I couldn't find any.

    Mahatma Gandhi, as you know, walked barefoot most of the time, which produced an impressive set of calluses on his feet. He also ate very little, which made him rather frail and with his odd diet, he suffered from bad breath. This made him (Oh, man, this is so bad, it's good)....A super-calloused fragile mystic hexed by halitosis.

    I went to a seafood disco last week..and pulled a mussel.

    What do you call a fish with no eyes? A fsh.

    Two fish swim into a concrete wall. The one turns to the other and says, 'Dam!'

    A group of chess enthusiasts checked into a hotel, and were standing in the lobby discussing their recent tournament victories. After about an hour, the manager came out of the office, and asked them to disperse. "But why?" they asked, as they moved off. "Because," he said, "I can't stand chess-nuts boasting in an open foyer."

    A woman has twins, and gives them up for adoption. One of them goes to a family in Egypt, and is named Ahmal. The other goes to a family in Spain; they name him Juan. Years later, Juan sends a picture of himself to his birth mother. Upon receiving the picture, she tells her husband that she wishes she also had a picture of Ahmal. Her husband responds, "They're twins! If you've seen Juan, you've seen Ahmal."

    Congratulations!

    Sounds like you have a very supportive Wife and Family.

    I once went to a 3 day weekend Rotary Conference. I was wearing a pair of 3" heeled boots, and I packed 2 other pairs of boots. Both with 4" heels.

    Guess What? I forgot to pack any regular mens shoes.

    Nobody said a word to me, and I had a great time.

    Enjoy!

    Ah, Progress!

    German scientists dug 50 meters down in the underground and discovered small pieces of copper. After studying these pieces for a long time, Germany announced that the ancient Germans 25,000 years ago had a nation-wide telephone network.

    The Russian government was not that easily impressed. They ordered their own scientists to dig even deeper. 100 meters down they found small pieces of glass. They soon announced that 35,000 years ago, the ancient Russians already had a nationwide fiber net.

    American scientists were outraged. They dug 200 meters down in the underground, but found absolutely nothing. They happily concluded that the ancient Americans 55,000 years ago had cellular telephones.

    Beer Snobs

    After the Great Britain Beer Festival, in London, all the brewery presidents decided to go out for a beer.

    The guy from Corona sits down and says, "Hey Senor, I would like the world's best beer, a Corona." The bartender dusts off a bottle from the shelf and gives it to him.

    The guy from Budweiser says, "I'd like the best beer in the world, give me 'The King Of Beers', a Budweiser." The bartender gives him one.

    The guy from Coors says, "I'd like the only beer made with Rocky Mountain spring water, give me a Coors." He gets it.

    The guy from Guinness sits down and says, "Give me a Coke." The bartender is a little taken aback, but gives him what he ordered.

    The other brewery presidents look over at him and ask "Why aren't you drinking a Guinness?" and the Guinness president replies, "Well, I figured if you guys aren't drinking beer, neither would I."
