Jane Aldridge - Sea of Shoes
Video sent by mrjyn
Jane Aldridge is calm, composed and homeless. Includes 'Teen Vogue' and 'French Glamour,' and hundreds of blogs, whose readers track her every footstep--Jane is unfazed, but not immune to scrutiny. This featureless includes shiny 'boot-y' from her closet [recognizable to readers of 'Sea of Shoes'--her industry-watched blog, described here as, 'One of the most popular blogs on the Internet']. Most hits in a day? [61,000]. Kenya West 'boot-y call'? [Yes, but not what you're thinking. rapper, turned fashionable Sofa was all 'businessperson.] Gumshoes? A confirmation! Exotica-gardenias compressible freethinkers sideshow Paris [Frankincense], Jane's shoes artfully parked in their own showroom, her bedroom closet. [I have witnessed grown women, teenage girls, and not a few men comment SOS, combining bliss, agony, deep-green envy, and obeisant supplication, with the rare Jerry Springer-reject thrown in for kicks.]
Jane, with insight beyond her years, and an easy Texas laugh appropriate to them [due in part to her mother, Judy--former model, current retailer: 'Atlantis Vintagecredits Mom for inspiration and early initiation by Kabuki.
This three-minute clip [accompanied by awful techno], conceived as an human interest peek into Jane's closet,finds Jane flipping absurdity into Zen pancakes Cocksure, not cocky, Jane [with a twinkle] begins, 'If I were a shoe...,' selecting a chic '09 Alaïa 'Maryjane on Steroids' and anthropomorphizing it with only a modicum of detectable bullshit into that which would normally define superfluity, but which here transforms a teenage puff-piece, tabled in Dallas, into a real fashion remote from Trophy Club, where suburban student Jane turns into 'Shoeshine' Superhero--"Shoestring J"!

Though my assistant Jean assures me that it is not Spring at the moment, I'll ignore him. It's Spring tonight. Anyway- I was looking through a printout- on quilted paper, of course- of search terms used to find my "blog." Some of them are particularly amusing. I am not a compulsive list maker, but I made a list. It's a FAQ of sorts. By the way, there was about two million search terms asking if my daughter is my daughter. I won't dignify them with an answer:
1. "Jane Lagerfeld."
I am afraid that my daughter's name is "Jane Aldridge", not "Jane Lagerfeld." Actually- she was recently featured with her mother in that magazine of Anna's recently. I'm quite proud of her. Anna's trying to make friends with Jane, because Anna thinks she is "cool" and "hip"- she's been looking up this "David Lynch" trying to work out who he is. It's vaguely cute, in a middle-aged way.2. "Karl Lagerfeld no glasses."You abomination. It's sheer blasphemy to want to see me without my sunglasses! What sort of sicko would want to do something like this?3. "Anna Wintour Lesbian."My Coco. How many sickos and weirdos read this blog? I can already imagine them- their fantasies of I, Karl Lagerfeld with my glasses off and Anna making out with Cathy "Ohio" Horyn in a bikini. Sick.4. "Juicy Couture Ghetto"Go away from my blog, please.5. "Women making love."You know, I used to think that gay men read this blog, but I'm more and more convinced that 90% of my readership are actually lesbians.6. "Diane Pernet is creepy."Not nearly as creepy as you, you lesbian-glasses-off-Juicy-Couture-Ghetto-creep.7. "Don't mess with a feminist."Well now. Who said I wasn't a feminist? Is this a threat, hmm? Chanel can track you on the internet, you know. I have lawyers. Lawyers carry guns these days.8. "Does Karl Lagerfeld speak English."No.9. "Does Karl Lagerfeld fear someone else can design better than him."No.10. "Every woman I couldn't love."Maybe you're gay, hm?11. "Hannibal Karl Lagerfeld."Why hello there, Clarice.12. "How to make love with the girl of my uncle."|That, my dear, would be called inscest and is frowned upon in most parts of the world.13. "Is Anna Wintour a lesbian."See above.14. "My heart still yearns for your letters."Get over it. It was in the past. Move on. The past is for losers.15. "Why can't I show affection."Maybe you're a sociopath!
