Did anyone see the movie Death Proof starring Syndey T. Poiter as "Jungle Julia?" One of the things that puzzled me about the movie was how in the hell they could call her character "Jungle Julia" and have no real references to anything... Jungle-like (racial overtones ignored and dismissed) - shouldn't she have at least rocked ONE pair of cheetah print heels?
If Tarantino and I were dialoguing right now (ha!), I'd suggest the following shoe, available at www.saks.com:
Fashion OGs should be shaking their head right now and recognizing the shoe in question... for you bougie budget novices out there, this is a Stuart Weitzman delectable stiletto pump - "Beacon Pinch Toe." Cheetah print shoes are a wardrobe staple, and when done right they glam up even the most mundane outfit. Weitzman is notorious for having narrow (and expensive!) shoes... but his heels make your legs look dynamic and inspired.
This pair's on sale for $101.90 (with free shipping) ... so for all you size 10 shoe wearers... grab it while you still can! I promise, you'll turn heads in these heels!
EDIT:
Some more examples of a nice subtle cheetah print by high-end designers for ridiculously bargain prices - all available at www.footcandyshoes.com:
Luciano Padovan - Cheetah Print d'Orsay Pump ($150... reduced from $385)
Casadei - Leopard Slingback ($150... reduced from $420)

i love it but i want my bolder jungle prints to be furry on my shoe
that being said that is a bad ass pair that would be impossible to pass up if they were my size. *scowl*

Ha ha Tomiko - I might have another jungle print shoe for you in your size... will link you later!
G.D. - thanks for the note... I read your site regularly (I guess you could call me a lurker). Lemu Coker put me on and I really enjoy your posts/dialogue on the site.

wow, as much as I might regret saying this... those cheetah dunks are kind of hot...
I haven't gotten down with the cheetah print since college (remember my infamous shirt?)...hahahaha..but these are some hot shoes!!!!
okay...I must cosign on the Stuart Weitzman pumps. His shoes are fabulous and well worth it. I bought a pair of booties in fall 2003...they are still gorgeous.
ummmm. mad at the nike dunks. the ones with the stiletto painted on them are a joke! but the cheetah print one is nice.
those are the ones i got my sis :'(
I LOVE animal print on a shoe. Fabulous!!!!!
