The Horrible, Terrible, No-Good, Very Bad Shoes

Look away from the shoes!

What a fabulous photo of little Kingston. He is rockin’ that belt, for sure, although it is funny to see his diaper peeking out of those distressed jeans! I can’t decide who he looks more like. I’m gonna go with Gwen for the time being.

It is fortunate that Kingston is such a doll, because it keeps my eyes away from the monstrosities that are Papa Rossdale’s shoes. But now that I have reminded myself, I can’t stop looking at them. So let’s take a gander, shall we?

My eyes! My eyes!

Ummmm, are those actually fringed sueded moccasins, or do mine eyes deceive me? With laces? They are some sort of mocca-sneaker-loafer-western-boot hybrid that quite frankly, scare me.

And, since I started doing snippets on celebrity babies, I have found myself unable to “fug” a child as it were. I mean, it isn’t exactly as if they have a choice in what they are wearing or anything.

Although it has crossed my mind that one day, perhaps 14 or so years from now, one of these children will be on their own blogs, hurling invectives at me for daring to point out his darling daddy’s ugly shoes.

About Glinda: Playing against type, Glinda lives in the West with her husband, eight year old son and year old daughter. She is in a constant state of worry that her wand is going to break at any moment.

    I had those shoes! When I was eight, and pretending to be Iroquois!

    My daughter had those shoes when she was 4, but the fringe was beaded. I’m thinking, though, that if I could get away with them I just might try. I have a feeling we’ll be seeing more of them this season.

    Yikes! I wonder how much money he wasted on them.

    I just noticed: those moccasins are SOLED! You do NOT put soles on moccasins. Either you go with the moccasin concept or you do not. I’m sorry. Gavin, we are confiscating your shoes.

    And…is it just me, or does it look like Kingston’s feet got chopped off? I mean, what kind of magical enchanted ballet flat are they putting on that poor boy that makes his feet vanish in pictures? I suppose we shouldn’t complain: at least they’re not wearing Mommy’s clothing line!

    Rain- I’m all for Native American homages in footwear, but this ain’t it!

    dgm- I’m just not feeling these shoes. Too much going on. Especially for mens shoes.

    AM- Way too much, I’m afraid.

    Rain- They’ve got soles, they’ve got laces, it’s just all wrong.
