Sunday night the husband called me over so I could watch the Grammys with him.
I was going back and forth because I was doing stuff, important stuff like facebook and checking the numbers on the blog. I might have been looking around at other blogs as well. Despite being a big music person, I am not interestd in the Grammys.
The husband called me over because it was time for Cee Lo to perform. I love Forget You and may have forced the husband to watch the Glee episode when Gwyneth Paltrow sang his song. I did make him watch SNL when Cee Lo was on and he became a fan.

It is a fun performance with muppets and Cee L0 in some crazy outfit. That is when Gwyneth shows up on the top of the stairs. She is wearing heels that are impossible tall. Some heels do a trick where the front part of the sole of about 1 – 1 1/2 inch platform to make the heel less high and less dangerous. Gwyneth’s shoes had this but the heel still looked to be about six inches long.
“Holy Cow! I could never wear shoes like that,” I am thinking. I notice that Gwyneth appears to be holding on that rail and the piano for balance. She’s a pro because I would have been holding on for dear life.
The amazing thing is I go looking around for these shoes and find them at She Finds. Not only am I right about the platform height but I ‘nailed’ the heel height as well. However, I am not buying these Christian Louboutin’s anytime soon because they cost $1095 and only come in a brown color.
If I am going to put myself in mortal peril (you have never seen me walk in heels and don’t know how true this statement is), I can do it for free. Even though I desire a pair of Louboutins with the trademark red under color, I have better things to do with that amount of money. Like pay my mortgage.
So to celebrate crazy shoe choices let’s watch that clip of Cee Lo and Gwyneth singing with muppets one more time.
Notes from Rumbly Cottage 
those are insane, they make me feel wobbly just looking at them.
I’m going to quietly admit that I kind of love those shoes. When you’re 5′ 2″, shoes like just seem like magic.
I secretly love those shoes, too. But as a towering, 5’11” gal, I’d scare away the townsfolk stomping around in those things! LOVED Cee Lo’s performance!
I love the shoes.
My feet would protest!
I am always one for the Muppets–:)
blessings on your morning!

I come in at 5’8”. I wear 2 inch heels at the most because anything else puts me in pain. Kitten heels are my friend.
For that money I think I’d want a better colour!
That too!
Haha, the highest I’ve gone is about 4.5 inches or 5 inches, and my friends consider them to be not so high!
And how do your feet feel afterwards?
The same as they do in ordinary heels with the ones that have a platform at the front, the one that doesn’t murders my feet.
I was amazed how well she did, being tall myself, the highest heel I ever wore was 2 inches and it killed my feet.
Gwyneth made it look like she was lightly touching the rail and piano. But I noticed she reached for them as soon as possible.
I’d take these over the sandals I had to wear for a month after falling down the stairs and hurting my toe.
I understand that one. I had Plantars Faciitis for a time. Birkenstocks were my savior. But now and then I like to wear pretty shoes.
Wow–never heard of She Finds and am HOOKED! How did you hear about it? I’ve been on “ISawitin” online, and it’s fun.
I forget how I found it, probably showed up on a google search when I was looking for a picture of these shoes.
