The Bridge Gang
June 30, 2006
We are jealous. Very jealous. Lucy from The Bridge Gang has such darling little shoes. So Milly Molly Mandy. Just super! Spiffing! Tremendous! I can imagine her with baskets of strawberries in her arms, skipping through the fields and singing about kittens in these shoes. That is she is singing whilst wearing the shoes, not singing about kittens that are actually wearing the shoes. Somewhere far away some boys wearing brogues would be sat in a damp cave and crying. http://www.popstarfeets.co.uk/images/thumbs/bridge-shoes_thumb.jpgPosted by Helen at 03:19 PM
Tiger Force
June 20, 2006
Leopard print pumps raise issues with me. Go to any indie disco and you'll see about 90% of the girls there wearing them with those god awful footless tights. Thank god Tiger Force haven't teamed pumps with those tights. Technically, they're great shoes, really fun and in dull company would make you feel rather racey; so is it that wrong to dislike them just because everyone wears them? Yes. Most definitely. Ok, so I may be an advocate of the skinny jeans and vintage heels look, but you won't catch a single Popstar Feets employee in pumps this summer. We're just so left of the field. Oh yeah. http://www.popstarfeets.co.uk/images/thumbs/tigerforce_thumb.jpgPosted by Helen at 05:39 PM
Dustin's Bar Mitzvah Talk Shoes
June 19, 2006
Occasionally I think it'd be wise to put more effort than just 'take pic, slate shoes'. So not only is there now a gig guide in the far column, but we've also got off our arses and interviewed someone. So here's Dustin Bar Mitzvah's thoughts on footwear. Its insightful. Popstar Feets: Last time Popstar Feets saw you boys, you hadnt eaten in days through poverty. Confess, youd spent all the money on shoes hadnt you? Dustins Bar Mitzvah: Yes. In Japan I bought 3 pairs of shoes. One of them is orange, though I never wear them, one is white and one black. Well spankers. PF: Are you still taping your shoes up with gaffa tape? DBM: No, not on purpose, though Rob's shoes were lost for a bit in Pete's house cos its too messy. PF: If theres no gaffa to hand can you recommend anything else to hold your shoes together in times of need?. DBM: Poo. PF:Have you ever matched your shoes to coordinate with your t-shirt? Or even worse your belt? DBM: No. We've got 1 or 2 t-shirts each and a belt each, except Rob who has string PF: As your earn millions from your pop career will you start doing an Elton and spend thousands on sequinned brogues? DBM: No, just bumming David Furnish. PF: Converses unique, gutsy and stylish or dull, commonplace and not waterproof enough? DBM: They're like The Kooks. PF: How many pairs of Converses have you got between you? DBM: None at the moment. PF: Do you share shoes or has someone (Im guessing Dave) got a verucca problem? DBM: No. My shoes are the fucking best anyway. No one's got veruccas ,they don't let us in swimming pools. PF: When your shoes are falling apart what point should you just give up and throw them away? DBM: it depends what state your jeans are in, if your jeans are pretty new you got to keep them looking kind of in step with the rest of the fallapartingness. PF: Do your mothers despair of your footwear when you go home and offer to take you out to buy new ones? DBM: All dead. PF: What do you think about the gaffa tape averse folk, who insist on box fresh trainers every morning? A worthwhile expense or possibly mad? DBM: Cunts. PF: Have you ever stage dived/crowd surfed and got your shoes stolen? Apparently its called mosh lobbing. DBM: No, you've got to tie your laces up or the tinkers will get you. PF: People chuck their shoes at Mystery Jets does the same thing happen to you lot or is it just because Mystery Jets are a bit poo? DBM: No I think its cos the grey haired one looks like a cobbler, they chuck beer at us cos Rob looks like he works at Wetherspoons. Well there we go. That was worth the effort wasn't it? Hmmm... http://www.popstarfeets.co.uk/images/thumbs/dbmlogo_thumb.jpgPosted by Helen at 04:06 PM
Yeah Yeah Yeahs
June 13, 2006
If you laid all the Popstar Feets pictures side by side they'd stretch for 17 miles*. You guessed right, thats because its the 100th Popstar Feets picture. Amazing. Our proper queen isn't really known for her footwear, so we sent back the centenary letter she posted to us. We worship another queen, Miss Karen O, she's teh sex. The Yeah Yeah Yeahs wear the crown well, we couldn't love them any more if we tried. Look at those little red boots, they're just perfect. * I actually tried to work this out properly but clearly failed miserably. http://www.popstarfeets.co.uk/images/thumbs/yyy-shoes2_thumb.jpgPosted by Helen at 02:09 PM
Pull Tiger Tail
June 07, 2006
According to colour psychologists, weight lifters who wear blue are able to handle heavier weights. Maybe this is Pull Tiger Tail's plan, they've all got some blue in their shoes somewhere and so are trying to draw on the colour's mystical powers for their rock efforts. Its a good plan. For future reference wearing green the night before a big event is bad luck and wearing pink will sap your opponent of his or her energy! http://www.popstarfeets.co.uk/images/thumbs/pull-tt-shoes_thumb.jpgPosted by Helen at 02:30 PM
My Architects
June 01, 2006
Popstar Feets has made me millions, I get a helicopter to work and my lunch is always cooked by a chef with so many Michelin stars he sprinkles them atop my salads. I'm not a greedy person though, I don't want to get too rich, so I put this business idea out for you paupers - someone please, please, please start a company making some interesting footwear for men. With the exception of those grubby monostrosities at the top of the picture, My Architects all own shoes which have been on Popstar Feets before. We need our men to wear something colourful, something with tassles or stripes. We need them to wear shoes that shout 'Look - I'm interesting and into yellow polka dots!' You'd make billions if you designed them. http://www.popstarfeets.co.uk/images/thumbs/myarchitectsfeets_thumb.jpgPosted by Helen at 05:00 PM
