i fear alien abduction

I'm still sick, but I was smart today, and I stayed home.

I have been watching fashion shows from French Fashion Week, and I am enamored by these Alexander McQueen shoes. They are so incredibly unique that I feel like they almost aren't shoes, and they belong in their own sort of sub-catagory.

These are like alien animal print, that is, if aliens have prints. I wouldn't know, I haven't seen one.

The textures and buckles on these are amazing. I feel like they should be in a museum, because they are made of alien skin. I mean, in my mind, they're made of alien skin. Whether that's right or not is debatable.

The shape is something that I know I have never seen before, and the heels are so high, it looks almost like you are standing on extreme tip-toe. Not sure if they would be too comfortable, but they do look cute.

I like how these are old -looking, like they have been left out in the rain, yet they are still bright and shiny.

ROBOTS!!! ROBOTS!!! ROBOTS!!! They are so mechanical- more machine than shoe. Maybe, in the coming years, we can program shoes to do things for us, like robots. Just a thought...

I like the top one, because it is so literal. When you think of aliens, don't you think of neon blue? I do.

The middle one looks so glamourous, like the alien queen would wear it, because of the gold coloring and the jewels covering it. I bet it cost her a fortune too.

The last one reminds me of nuts and bolts, so I think of robots again. Specifically, I think of C3P0 from Star Wars. The shoes and the robot areeee the same color.

These scare me. I mean, they scare me because they are so amazing, but also, if I happened to see them while taking a stroll in Area 51, I would run. Well, more like snatch them up, then run. It is my general opinion that extra terrestrials will flock towards this shoe. I will too, but I'm not sure I'll be able to walk in them.
