Lolita's Underland: I'm Melting... Melting... Oh what a world, what a world... Ooo Shoes...

And so the week began with a little Bikram Yoga.

Yeouch! Ok so it had only been a few weeks since my last session in the UK, but its true, if you don't keep up with it, well it's like learning to ride a bike... again... and again.... and AGAIN.

It kind of felt like the scene from Wizard of Oz? When the witch is melting. Best shown Illustrated yes? Well this was me on Sunday afternoon after class....

Yes... well as glamorous as the old movie screen shot was, I found a more up-to-date slightly more glamorous picture from a Vogue shoot with Keira Knightly and a few creative artists/faces.

I am not the biggest fan of Keira Knightly, though I think she is stunning and talented, after the first Pirates of the Caribbean film, she started to act with her chin pushed out and lips pursed. After 10 minutes, it can get a little irritating.

I do love to see magazines do creative editorials like this. Best thing about this stumble? I discovered that for the Wizard of Oz 70th Anniversary they commissioned 19 designers to create a new pair of Ruby Slippers for the Dorothy of the 21st Century.

I love how my searches always seem to end up on shoes.... Well come on, this is the most epic movie battle in Cinema history! Ok, It's not exactly transformers but just goes to show, you don't mess with a girl and her shoes.

Here are some of the designs I found, I do love the Betsey Johnson choices ; )

Harry Winston created a size-four pair of ruby slippers using diamonds and 1,500 carats of rubies for the Wizard Of Oz's 50th Anniversary. At $3 million, they are reportedly the most expensive pair of shoes in the world.
