Prince vs. The Empress

Prince, the man [?] entirely deserving of the images his name conjures, was spotted at a Lakers game last weekend in some interesting footwear.

Now don't get me wrong; if given the chance, I would gladly wipe the foot sweat from between this man's toes. He is one of the greatest performers and guitartists ever, IMPO.

BUT -- his affinity for platforms and high heels has always weirded me out, and this case is no exception. Behold:

The man responsible for Raspberry Beret is wearing lucite heels. Shauna Sand's reign as the Empress of Lucite may be over if His Crushed-Velvet Majesty decides to take over that particular throne. Shauna, consider yourself warned.

And, in honor of He of Purple Velvet and Lace, I present to you the 80's Music Video of the Week (although in all honesty, this is not from the 80's):

Shrek Called. He Wants His Big Toes Back.

I absolutely love Kate Winslet -- she's prim, pretty, beautiful -- but she has ugly big toes. The rest of her toes are cute, clean, and decidedly British-looking.

But her big toes look like they were wrenched off of a cave-dwelling ogre, cleaned up and slapped on her feet. This is rather unfortunate for her, because otherwise, she's just about perfect.

If you see Revolutionary Road, which is very, very good, you'll get a chance to see what I'm talking about near the end of the film.

That being said, here's a lovely picture of your girl Kate at the premiere of The Readers, a movie in which she appears nude. Enjoy.
