On the eve of Jane's entre into adulthood I thought I'd UPDATE my Famous Plagiarizable Description and include a few pertinent LINKS for JANEOPHILES:
Jane Aldridge in her first televised interview is calm, composed, and at home (literally). She is unfazed, but not immune to scrutiny. Her media experience includes articles and interviews in fashion staples from ‘Teen Vogue’ to ‘French Glamour,’ and “Sea of Shoes” blog is linked daily by thousands of readers who seek her every mention.
JANE BITES
Most hits in a day? [61,000]
Kanye West ‘Boot-y call’? [Maybe]
Her personal collection of shoes include those from designers of the most exotic, avant-garde, always chic, this side of Paris [France, not Texas]. Jane’s shoes artfully park in their own showroom–her bedroom closet, awaiting her selection du jour for their big break–a photo layout in ‘SOS,’ whose repercussions, one imagines, inspire serious late night sole-searching sessions, like: ‘Who has more hits?’ or ‘Who’s a played-out pump from the early 07’s?’
Jane, with insight beyond her years, and an easy Texas laugh appropriate to them, credits Mom for inspiration and an early initiation into High Fashion by Kabuki.
This three-minute clip, accompanied by Kanye West’s “Love Lockdown,” conceived as an ‘human interest peek into Jane’s closet,’ finds Jane cobbling absurdity into Zen stilettos. Jane (with a twinkle) ends…’If I were a shoe…’ selecting a chic 2009 Alaïa [a-LIE-a] Maryjane-on-steroids and anthropomorphizing it with only a modicum of detectable Texas bullshit which would normally define superfluity, but which here transforms High School student-Jane into superhero-Shoenami-J!
While cynical observers doubt her Wunderkind street-cred, it seems her age is proving to be just one of her assets in the quixotic flux of the world which she chronicles and inhabits. The naysayers and omnipresent critics are eclipsed and sloughed off by their coequal but less conspicuous fans whose gallery Jane spies as if from the disguised eye of her favorite creature–the octopus–sometimes camouflaged, but always employing all eight arms in an acquisitive feeding frenzy from which no predation dare distract.

*Having been privy to what YouTube calls ‘Analytics,’ I’ve vicariously tracked the peaks and hillocks of my second [don't ask] viral phenomenon. It’s been a learning experience as a video-blogger–NOT an ‘SOS’ groupie. But what’s more interesting to me, is that it has enabled me to witness a particular phenomenon of social-bashing and worship which Jane enjoys from grown women to teenage girls [and not just a few men (you know)], whose comments combine bliss, agony, sea-green envy, and obeisant boot-licking, with the rare Jerry Springer-reject thrown in for kicks.
(*written for the first upload which reached upwards of 50,000 views in a little less than three months). My current pick, peeking through the spam–as this video reaches 46k views + with a spike from ‘UO’–being from YouTuber ’sueannwashere’ who writes:
“I didn’t know her face was? so fat. But she has an awesome fashion sense.” Sueann’s comment is of that rare Wildean breed of equal parts, placement, brevity, and Anna Wintour critique–its subtlety distinguishing and endearing it from the usual ‘School of Carp’ which populate JA’s Sea.]
