The 5 toe separator flip flops

My darlings,

I came across this product and it freaked me out.

 No offense to the Japanese inventors, I am sure they had good intentions and they're probably very comfortable. But they just look like shoes for aliens. 

I keep envisioning a skinny green alien, with those on.

And here's a little about these alien flip flops:

Look at those toes and how they're sticking out separately! hahaha..

What a delightful piece of footwear.

My favorite phrase would have to be "...delightful sense of oneness..." Could this be the national symbol or the national mascot or footwear for the next national campaign promoting "Oneness" and togetherness and unity.

Men at sales

I often wonder if this is a Chinese, Indonesian, Filipino, Vietnamese, Singaporean thing, that the guys are just whipped by their women? Never have I seen, in any other culture or race or country, where the women make their men stand outside the sale store, waiting for them or stand in line at the cashier while the woman carries on shopping. In fact, the men will handle every thing from holding the clothes, to lining up, to paying for the stuff, to carrying the shopping bags. 

I just don't know what those guys are thinking. I completely understand the woman controlling her man, but hello guys. Wake up?

Even though the shop's already reached it's maximum capacity, women are shoving and snatching things, the men are just taking up space, following their woman around like a pet. And they're going "Excuse me.." "Sorry..." as they navigate their way through the crowd.

MEN, WAKE UP! You deserve a say in this. Or am I wrong to think that they don't really want to be there? Could these men be enjoying it because they get to ogle at a sea of women while their woman is completely occupied with deciding which cardigan to try on? I have seen the guys check the other women out. It just makes me feel uncomfortable, a man in a female territory. It's like a woman going into the men's section. Guys do feel a little violated.

It's getting veeeeery dangerous out there!

Platform heels are everywhere! Sprouting like mushrooms and to my horror, I saw platform clogs among the platform heels. 

 

Imagine this, but without the peep toe. Platform clogs are by far the most hideous looking platforms out there. 

I gotta say, the usual platform heels aren't too bad looking, they're pretty nice if done right. 

However, I have to admit, nothing freaks me out more than seeing platform shoes. 

Is it getting really dangerous out there that women have to wear a form of weaponry to defend themselves? Cause those shoes could kill! I don't think any guy would ever mess with a woman in platforms, coupled with killer heels. We're talking a big whack between the legs with the platform sole and once you're down, a deep stab in your eye with the pencil thin heel, and you're a goner. Down long enough for the woman to get away from you or to teach you something you'll never, ever forget!

Winter bride or the wicked witch gets hitched?

I came upon this window display at Ion Orchard a couple of days ago... 

I can't decide what the theme of this window display really is. I'm thinking "Winter Bride"?  Or "The wicked witch gets hitched on Christmas"? What do you think darling?

Either way, the little fake Chihuahua is quite adorably malicious.
