If The Shoe Fits, Glow With It… Better Yet, Just Glow! Our kind of high maintenance.

Not for nothing, but…

Place: Bergdorf Goodman’s The Finals shoe clearance.

Atmosphere: Frenzied, panic-stricken shoppers, desperate to find their size.

Scene: Woman admiring her high-heeled splendor in the mirror while contemplating how many pairs of stilettos to buy.

She Thinks Aloud: “Don’t Manolo Blahnik’s just light up a room?”

Peanut Gallery: “Yes, they have that reflective quality!” Whatever.

Our opinion: Reserve high maintenance ditties to be dribbled with something delicious like Star High Maintenance luxury hand and body lotion. Of course, while still maintaining our feet firmly planted in a good pair of slingbacks. Je ne sais quois?
