I wonder what the rest of Babies in the Snow guy’s closet looked like. I bet he dressed better than that Rumi chick!

Those Dead Birds With Bling shoes make me the slightest bit uncomfortable. I do like the idea of a protective platform to keep your dead birds off the pavement, though.

I love ‘Babies in the Snow.’ I don’t care what the guy looked like, I would have blown him for coming up with those shoes.

Hammie -Not when they’re Bedazzled.

annemarie – bananas!

WendyB – I wish you’d been there!

dewayne -Would you consider having them bronzed? Or maybe just spray-paint them gold and then mount them on wood, like a trophy?

iheartfashion -Yeah, they were the Real Deal, so to speak.

grrlie blather – Haha! Wait til I get to “40 years ago…”

HelOnWheels – I like to think they disinfected the birds.

super kawaii mama – YES, please do it!!!

Would it be wrong of my to try and construct a replica for my own pleasure? Would it just leave me feeling empty and hollow that they were not the real Mona Lisa of shoes? Or perhaps like your “babies in the snow” man, I can just take inspiration and let it fly.

I fear these shoes may make the wearer more likely to contract bird flu.

I love it that you started a paragraph with, “Around 30 years ago.”

I love the idea of babies in the snow even better than these.

i have a pair of brown vans that are atleast five years old that used to be the only pair of shoes i wore, outside of work or fancy occasions. they are thoroughly worn, but not yet holey.

they are, however, holy; a friend and i performed the catholic ritual for house blessing on them, with holy water.

it may not quite compete with “babies in the snow,” but my nasty house shoes are instruments of god.

is there a market for old shoes? believe me, they aren’t just any old shoes. they have been through a whole hell of a lot of insanity, probably saved my life more than once.

I’m jealous that I didn’t meet the Babies in the Snow guy.

Dude, these shoes are so epic. They are the perfect recessionista statement shoe. When I have spent my last cent I can eat the birds. I die.
