Who Will Wear the Gold Shoe?
Jun 12, 2007 Author: FMS | Filed under: Blogged In (from Korean news), International, Just FunnyWow. Who knew shoes were investments? From ReviewStar:
지난 6월 9일 중국 안휘성의 유명 보석상 ‘우후‘에서는 황금으로 만든 하이힐을 선보여 중국 및 전 세계 귀금속 관계자들의 주목을 받았다.
이 번에 공개된 황금으로 만든 하이힐은 총 무게 680g 의 순금으로 만든 것으로 빛에 따라 광채가 보는 이로 하여금 가슴이 벅차게 한다고. 황금으로 만든 하이힐은 이탈리아 출신의 디자이너가 우후사의 의뢰를 받아 직접 디자인을 한 것으로 전 세계 귀금속 회의에 전시가 될 예정이다.
In this photo released by China’s Xinhua news agency, a sales girl shows a pure golden high-heel shoe weighing 680 grams in a shopping street in Wuhu, east China’s Anhui Province, on Saturday June 9, 2007. (source)
Now, that’s a shoe you wouldn’t leave at the door of a kalbi restaurant. For you English readers, here’s where I got lots of pictures of these golden pieces of heaven.

- mins: just wow. what a complete idiot.
- FMS: Yeah — “huge” calves are basically having calves. What I consider generally normal legs are considered Brontosaurus-sized here. ㅠㅠ
- miny: omg what do they consider HUGE CALVES? i cant believe they think exercise makes ur legs ugly o_o thats f**ked up
- Jae Young: Srsly, how lame. I actually think skinny jeans look better on legs with some meat, otherwise you look like you have matches for legs. The boots are tricky, but they could also advertise oh I dunno, boots that...

- Kelsey Freeman: Actually, a friend of mine pointed out to me that there is at least a 400 year old tradition of putting animal hats on children near the new year, in Asia. Apparently it has something to do with fooling...
- jayun: I’d have to be 7 to wear the hat and mittens and not feel so insecure hehe…
- Bekah: I like these hats. They’re adorable. If I was in korea right now, I’d probably be wearing one.
- lovelyprincess: I like the polar bear hat from last year. This year was disappointing though, because Paris Baguette is giving elf hats with a cake purchase this year, and they aren’t cute like the polar bear ones. I...

- margaretha: High heels are sexy, but they’re painful too. I can’t stand two hours standing on them.
- Jae Young: Heels totally fubar my feet and my legs but I love being tall and they do make my legs look hotter. I also started wearing heels for work. I wish they made a wider variety of flats, but they all tend to be...
- Bekah: I’ve only worn high heels for a few special occasions. They are soo uncomfortable. I can’t imagine someone wearing them everyday, no matter how good they look.
