Sapphire Bullets of Pure Love


ebay item 8119626857

Smokydiva's got this listed on eBay as a Buy It Now for $55, and it's a B40/W32. And check out the crazy print!

If I bought this, though, I would spend the rest of my life looking for spectator pumps in black and just that shade of blue. I mean, wouldn't you? In fact, the more I sew for myself the more frustrated I become at not being able to make my own shoes. That's pretty much why I'm so excited about desktop fabbing. That's how you know you're an unreconstructed girl geek; you read Wired because you want to apply new tech to making pretty clothes.

Check out Smokydiva's other auctions -- there's a ruffled HoJo's-blue rockabilly dress that almost made me forget that I look like a zombie movie extra in that color ...

    I'm so glad I'm not the only one who wishes she could make her own shoes. I always have a specific picture of what I want, and can never find the perfect style in the perfect color. I suppose an army of magic elves would also do the trick...

    I so hear you on the shoe thing. I'm seriously considering buying a bunch of stilletos at a bridal store and having them dyed to match my vintage dresses.

    Amen, to the spectator pumps! I see them all the time in costume dramas. Where are they in the real world?
