ShoeMinx Parties with Perez at the FaceClubs.com Launch at Circa

FaceClubs: Making 3 AM Booty-Calls More Accessible for All

Now it will be SO much easier for meaty bouncers to get busy with cinch-waisted bartenders after last call. FaceClubs will make the ubiquitous inter-nightlife industry booty call all the more expedient by alerting that cute go-go dancer that the DJ wants to get with her. Party promoters rejoice - less griping from more satisfied, freshly-laid staffers.

Perez Hilton hosted the official Toronto launch party for www.faceclubs.com at CiRCA Toronto, 126 John Street. FaceClubs is a social machine that connects people with Night Club friends, Past, Present and Future! People use FaceClubs to socialize with friends, upload photos, share links and videos, and learn more about the people they meet.

TheDailyPump/ShoeMinx team got to party down in the VIP with Perez himself, who was ever ready to flash his six-figure smile for our camera. Here we see ShoeMinx’s gorgeous Pola Magazanik sporting her stylish new ‘do with Perez showing off his new Ripzone hoodie swag.

And of course, ShoeMinx Chairman Yoav Cohen charmed the proverbial pants off Perez with his plucky anecdotes and savvy LA shoe mogul stories. Pola and Yoav make for an unbeatable tag team!

Paris Does Vegas: Hilton Heiress Launches Fall Footwear Line at Macys

Paris Hilton Goes Heel-to-Heel with Fergie

Despite dating rocker Benji Madden and a brief baby bump blip, faux-lebrity Paris Hilton has been largely absent from the tabs as of late. So perhaps Hilton should have avoided scheduling her launch event on the same day that hip-hop princess Stacey “Fergie” Ferguson was debuting her own shoe line across town. Just a thought. Unless this is a clever ploy to create a mock heel-to-heel battle between the multi-hypenated celeb-designers for press attention and sales. In which case, let the showdown begin!

The “Hottie and the Nottie” heiress began her contractual promo duties at Sin City’s Macy’s department store posing for glamour shots on a chaise lounge and wearing a blue summer dress with gold heels (which we assume are from her line) and a matching clutch. And in true Paris style, the “Stars are Blind” party professional staged a second launch event at one of her favorite haunts, Pure Nightclub.

Though it pains us to say it, we have to give her props for wearing what appear to be her own shoes to both events, unlike Fergs. As Asos.com reported from Vegas,

“After arriving in a crisp white shift dress, white oversized sunglasses and a pair of beige Mary-Janes, the Fergalicious one quickly changed into a pair of tan strappy sandals from her range.”

That’s just bad PR when you’re pimping product. And if there’s one thing Paris does best it’s publicity.

 

While Fergie’s line is big on gladiators sandals and street gear, Paris’ shoes are pretty much what you would expect, namely heels and slingbacks. What you might not expect after her first collection is the notable absence of Barbie doll pink this time out. The color palate has been toned down for fall and features more muted hues. Prices are expected to run about $50 a pair for the starter styles.

Paris may have ruffled some fashion feathers with the blatant rip-off of Christian Louboutin and Te Casan in her first collection, but her shoes do offer more stylish options for fashionistas with less than dainty feet. A size-11 herself, she commented,

“Yeah, it sucks, because I see all these super cute shoes in the stores: Guccis, YSLs, Manolos. And when they bring them out in my size, they look like clown shoes.”

So which celeb line does ShoeMinx think will win wallet share? Fergie is tops on the Billboard chart, but Paris might have an edge in shoe sales, according to Kitson’s Do’s and Don’ts for Celebrity Designers. Plus, she must have a decent amount of merch to land a second collection. View the entire Paris Hilton debut collection here. Now all that has to happen is for Perez Hilton to get into the Pump Endorsing Business. He’s already trying to lock up flip-flops.

You tell us. Which line would you wear – Fergalicious or Paris Hilton?
