Every pair of shoes is either high, high, high…or just plain flat. The choice: To plod or to totter. -Meredith Barnett via Huffington’s Post

Footwear News interviews shoe designer Giuseppe Zanotti. His take on knockoffs? “..they’re good. I know a lot of the time people buy my shoes to copy them, but I think, “If if my shoes cost $1,000 in the window of my store, why can’t a girl with a love and passion for shoes buy my shoes one season later for $89?” Creativity is [what’s] important to me. I’m always participating in new works, new seasons, new styles, and [that’s why] people copy me every season. I realize it’s part of this business and I prefer they copy me [instead] of Prada and Gucci. There is a DNA inside my shoes, and when you touch them you can tell [immediately].”"

When it comes to screen size, bigger is definitely better! Sex and the City arrives only in theaters on May 30th, 2008 and it promises to answer all of the lingering questions – will Carrie and Big finally tie the knot? Can Samantha really be satisfied with just one man? Will Charlotte ever get pregnant? Can Miranda and Steve actually live happily ever after?

Win one of FOUR fabulous SATC Goodie Bags which includes the following:

• Sex and the City DVD essentials (5 titles – 3 episodes each) provided by HBO SHOP in NYC at 42nd & 6th

Alright, I know we’ve had quite a few contests on ShoeBlog lately but I’m really excited to countdown the weeks until the SATC movie’s release with these four goodie bag giveaways! Here are the ShoeBlog entry rules:

• Must live in the US (Ayyyy- I wish it was open to everyone!)

Good luck on the contest!

One of my favorite shoes from the V&A Golden Age of Couture show that Jitterbugbaby posted about were these gilded Roger Vivier for Christian Dior pumps, Paris 1952-4.

They certainly don’t make shoes like these anymore.
