“I’m gonna lace up my boots, throw on some leather and cruise” December 20, 2011

This will be really old news for many of you, but it passed me by when it happens. It relates to Lady Gaga’s appearance as a mentor on American Idol in May of this year. Well specifically it concerns her footwear. The shoes had a large platform sole and heels made from dildos.

There is an allegation that the TV show producers blurred the shoes out from the broadcast. Personally I think it would have been quite amusing had she worn them when presented to the Queen. That would have wound up a large number of Tory MPs from the shires wouldn’t it?

I wonder what kind of ‘vibe’ she was going for? Maybe it was just a cock-up? Or maybe she wanted Dido to be a part of her shoes but couldn’t spell? I’d love to hear what you folks think of the shoes.

A revolution is taking place in Matehuala in the north-west of Mexico. This is not a violent or political revolution, it’s a footwear revolution. It’s not women’s shoes we’re talking about, it’s mens boots! A few dance troupes in the area have taken to wearing heavily customised and very, very pointy boots. But they’re not simply pointy-toed, many of them are immaculately decorated with lights and sequins.

It appears that they are also creeping into the southern US States as well. Indeed it is also said that they make the wearer look a little sexy! Really? more like a little twat in my opinion. They could put clown shoes out of business.Let’s just hope that they don’t take off over here in the UK. Although to be fair you could probably sail across the Atlantic in one of them. So let me know what you think of them. Are they shoeperb or just a load of cobblers?

Anyway as I have said on many occasions this is a music blog, so here are a few shoe related songs for your entertainment (yes I do know that the second one is a Christmas song, but who cares?). Feel free to let me know what your favourite footwear related songs are (Mickey I’ve left an obvious Kate song open for you!);
