REMINDER:  Most DIVAS love a good deal and Faux Friday is meant to offer shoe divas "inexpensive alternatives to very expensive and high-end footwear".  I don't want you to rob any banks or skip any mortgage or car payments just to step in style... so, consider "faux" options before choosing "real" debt!  :-)~

That's all for now and thanks for stepping by!!  Ciao!

Until Next Time...

While on Twitter yesterday, I happened upon a Tweet from the fashionable @SolangeKnowles where she posted a link to her recent interview in Honey Magazine.  Solange has a great fashion sense, isn't afraid to be different, and in my opinion, rocks FABULOUS shoes.  So... I just HAD to share these outrageously sexy shoes with all of you.  Divas... Step into these:

Walter Steiger, you've done it AGAIN!!!!  OF COURSE I could NOT locate these in the sexy leopard print Solange is sporting above, but I did find them in black, which is equally as sexy!

Although Walter is a little stingy with the name and price of this fabulous foot candy, you too can SEE them at WalterSteiger.com!!  You can also check out Solange's entire interview and photo shoot at HoneyMag.com!  ENJOY!

Now these picks may be a little different than the normal and boring, simple black leather boots.  But I say, step out of your comfort zone and dare to be different, people!!!

That's it and that's all for now!  Thanks for stopping by and until next time...

Like most of us, I grew up listening to and dancing and singing with Michael Jackson.  I remember being 10 years old when Thriller came out!

I immediately hung the inside album cover (above) on my bedroom wall! 

I spent hours practing his dance moves.  I still know the moves to Thriller and jump up to execute those dance steps with Michael and those creepy ghouls everytime I hear the song or see the music video.  I'm heartbroken.

Although Michael Jackson had his demons and personal issues, we CANNOT overlook the positive impact of his music.  His music touched the WORLD and has inspired many musical artists today!

Today, let us celebrate the music that still brings us ALL joy and the burning desire to moonwalk across the dance floor, throw our fingers in the air and scream HOOOO!!!!

R.I.P. MJ!  Until next time,

Stiletto wishes,

Ciao!!

So really, that's it for this week.  But I promise that what I'm working on will benefit you ALL and is looong overdue!  So, until next time...

Stiletto Wishes,

Ciao!
