"Walking fast is neither sexy nor engaging. If you're walking in heels, you've got time"-Christian Louboutin
Another year, another milestone in our blog!. Getting to No. 300 has taken a lot longer than the other two, but we are optimistic that the numbers are only going to get bigger!
As predicted in post #200, Rihanna has overtaken Pam for the #1 spot, while Renee is rounding off the top three. Pam can retake the top spot- if all of her missing sets are found!.
Along the way... ------------------ Spotting pigalles has become a wee bit harder- not because that fewer celebs are wearing them, rather the design is being tweaked and sold as new models. Some examples are the Pigalili, Dorepi, Souris, Anemone,Tashaf and Helmut lines- which are exactly the same design as the Pigalle but with a few modifications like a bow, metal bits near the tip.
Future Spotters --------------------- We've covered lots of celebrities on this blog spanning the globe. There have been a few celebs we would have liked to have seen wearing a pair, and we created a wish list in alphabetical order-
Aishwariya Rai
Angelina Jolie

Gisele Bündchen
Halle Berry
Ivanka Trump
Jennifer Aniston
Jessica Biel
Lorraine Braco

Runners up:- Sarah Chalke, Cobie Smulders, Audrey Tautou Others we considered but rejected included-
Lady Gaga- unless it shoots lasers or has a cube for a heel, doubt she will be interested.
Naomi Campbell- Will probably beat somebody up with it and later charged for assult with a deadly weapon.
Have some in mind you would think should have a pair of Pigalles in their wardrobe?. Comment away!.
Normally, the rule on this site is to post celebs wearing Pigalles and those images should be high res. While poking around some fashion sites looking for new material, we stumbled upon fashionista514.com. Normally, we would not mention it, but her image collection of her pigalles are superb and we though you would enjoy them as well. Click on the pictures to go to the site and see hi res images- you will not be disappointed!.
Thoughts.. ------------ As you can imagine, Mr. Louboutin primarily caters to women (although he has started a line of men's sneakers) and models his line with them in mind. While looking for celebs we came across these two you may or may not have heard of-
Their names are Amanda Lepore and Phillipe Blond , both of whom spot Pigalles frequently. The only thing that sets them apart from my other regular postings is the fact that one is a transsexual and the other gay.
No bulletin board compile their images, but we've always wondered if do turn up (high res pics), will the reader be offended/turned off seeing males wearing Pigalles or accept it?.
Here is a new section we are adding- Pigalles on the move, where we get links to everyday people wearing Pigalles.
