Amy Winehouse: Surprisingly Pretty Feet For Such a Rough Ridin’ Gal

Designers Say Yes, Yes, Yes to Style Muse Amy Winehouse

From the top of her Marge Simpson beehive to her trademark ballet shoes, troubled “Back to Black” troubadour Amy Winehouse has become the retro pin-up girl for designers like Karl Lagerfeld, Roberto Cavalli and Giorgio Armani. We also love the boozy images of Amy Winehouse gabbing with the original paparazzi-whores Kelly Osborne and Paris Hilton at Perez Hilton’s Birthday Bash.

We love these hand-painted “Zap” platform pumps by Terry de Havilland. Pick up a pair to wear with your skinny denim by clicking here.

She gives mannered ballet flats a round and tumble edge. Are Winehouse’ ballet slippers the muse for the popular square-toe ballet flat? Find a stellar price on these square toe-ballet flats at Zappos.

Her glammed up yet gritty Sid and Nancy look (pre-drug and alcohol calamities) has even inspired model Nicole Trunfio’s look for the new Guess campaign. Add shoe designer Jonathan Kelsey (who we’ve dubbed Louboutain deux, you heard it here first), who designed the “Amy” pump in tribute, to her list of fans. Buy these special Amy Winehouse tribute pumps as seen below here.

Despite her troubles, there is no doubt that Winehouse has a unique fashion point of view. Winehouse’s out-to-there winged eyeliner is probably too extreme for us plebeians, but her riot girl footwear is very wearable.

ShoeMinx is very fond of these “comic strip” mules from Eley Kishimoto and Betsey Johnson. Shop the product pages by clicking on the above links.

Delivered: Angelina Will Deliver on Tuesday

The Cover of Star Magazine for Tuesday, July 15 2008?

angelina-twins-tuesday-shoeminx

Recreational hobby journalism is alive and well. Contactmusic reported an hour ago that “sources” at the Lenval Hospital in Nice revealed Angelina will be induced this coming Tuesday, July 15th 2008. It seems the Most Famously Knocked Up Woman in the World is rather tired of being pregnant with two plum Pitts.

ShoeMinx is pretty sure that the screams of “Induce Me Already!” can be heard ringing through the usually quiet streets of Nice. We’re surprised Perez Hilton hasn’t launched a line of new Angie-Inspired Maternity Wear T-Shirts with the slogan “Are We F#*king Inducing Yet?” brandished in Gossip Gangster pink.

Angelina Jolie will deliver her twins on Tuesday, July 15th 2008, according to these vague French reports. We hope the medic on a smoke break made more than a free donner kebab for this “tip”. Unless we hear it from Susan Braudy or another Team Jolie-Pitt flack, we’re going to keep our Veuve on ice.

If the Twins are born on Tuesday they will share a birthday with the following random list of celebs:

Rembrandt born on July 15, 1606

Arianna Huffington born on July 15, 1950 YIKES

Diane Kruger born on July 15, 1976

Jesse Ventura born on July 15, 1952 DOUBLE YIKES

Brian Austin Green born on July 15, 1973 TRIPLE FREAKING YIKES

Brian Austin Green is an especially auspicious birthday coincidence as he famously bungled it with Megan Fox this week, who, as mean journos like to tag: “Megan Fox: The Poor Man’s Angelina Jolie”. It certainly looks like David from 90210 doesn’t have nearly as much money as Tyler Durden from Fight Club.

Though the In-Utero Until Tuesday Twins are not fraternal, we think Team Jolie-Pitt isn’t about to mess with perfection:

shiloh-birth-tuesday-twins

One baby got nearly 5 Million. Reports are starting to circulate of offers up to 25 Million being made to the couple’s reps. Seeing as how that could keep a developing nation’s children in shoes for life, that seems pretty obscene. Pitt and Jolie subverted the media’s perversion by ear-marking Shiloh’s debut pics for charity. Any wagers on how many TWO Plum Pitts will fetch?

We also invite you to speculate on the ridiculousness about to ensue in everyone’s *favorite* new game, Celebrity Baby Names Gone Mentally Insane in the comment box below.

ShoeMinx is taking bets on dates.

Stay Tuned to Shoeminx.
