Perhaps it is just me, but I think the entire world is losing a grip on reality.
Well, maybe it is not just me.
Read on...
In all the turmoil of the world, I suppose you heard how Christian Louboutin sued Yves St. Laurent over the color red. Yep, that shoe joint wanted exclusive use of the color, rouge. Rojo. RED!
Yes, yes...Chrissy Lou is famous for those colorful soles slapped onto the bottom of those ridiculously priced shoes. Yes, yes...they are fabulous. Agreed.
Isn't the desire to block another shoe maker from using a specific color absurd? Very, very, I say.
It just strikes me as a bit (or a lot) elitist to get legal because you think you have the privilege of owning a color. A color! And, for the sole of a shoe.
Feeling the need to research this entire, sole-of-the-shoe, biz; I inventoried some of my own pedi-covers. Know what I discovered? Not much. Quite boring to be honest. Designers don't put much color-flavor under our toes as they stick to neutrals for the most part. A little flair tossed here and there, but it is rare.
About the most interesting among my personal collection were the Kenneth Cole, Reaction, solid-brown-rubber, sandals. Perhaps they should consider trying to OWN brown. Nah, that is just too freaking boring to even consider. They should go for yellow or blue for an exotic flair.
Again, aren't there larger issues such as world-hunger and war to be met and mastered?
Chris Lou-Bou, should just get over his sole and put his soul into something with more meaning.
Red is simply, well, red (ask the pop group of the same moniker).
Come ON...can't we all just get along...shoe-designer-wise?
Probably not.
I'd rather listen to the group, Simply Red, than read another word about Christian Louboutin's (let's just call him, C-Lou)attempt to own, RED!
You CAN NOT own a color, I don't care how expensive your flippin' shoes are.
See ya 'round the beaches-real or virtual.
