Evil Incarnate

I'm going to go right out and say it. I hate Martha Stewart. Possibly it has something to do with the fact that she knows nothing about anything she attempts to do. When she talks or or writes about gardening, she doesn't know the difference between a floribunda and a hybrid tea, or quite frankly bermuda from crabgrass, but in addition, she really hasn't a clue how to cook. If you have ever watched a real chef come on her show, she essentially shoves them out of the way, while the invited guest becomes irate and usually exhibits some fantastic eye-rolling.

Decorno just posted a link to Martha's blog. This honestly made my day, because I had no idea that such a website existed. I was at first entranced by the egregious number of spelling errors, and her general rudeness towards others that is quite obvious in her writings. Then, I noticed what is possibly the worst crime against fashion I have ever witnessed.

Christian Louboutins are the gold standard $700 item that many stylish women hope to someday own. They set trends, and spark envious gazes towards their trademark red soles. The red soles are the signature - not tacky like a Gucci print or a Coach monogram, but understated, and only noticable to those who know where to look.

MARTHA STEWART PAINTS THE SOLES OF HER LOUBOUTINS.. She paints them. And she doesn't take them to a shoe repair place - no, her assistant coats them with a SHARPIE. If I had $700 shoes, I would not take a permenant marker anywhere NEAR them.

::exhales:: Here's to all of us who would kill for Louboutins, and certainly wouldn't attack them with an odorous marker.
