I admit it, I enjoy watching all those American series full of drama and the so called glamorous lifestyle. Especially when I need to take some time off from the real world, I enjoy plunging into the fake, absurd, and unrealistic TV-world of some of my favourites Sex and the City (although I think this one is still the most realistic one out of the bunch), Desperate Housewives, The Vampire Diaries, Greys Anatomy, Lie to Me, Body of Proof, and when I’m hanging really low 90210, Keeping up with the Kardashians or Pretty Little Liars. Now one thing that I noticed in pretty much all of these shows, with a couple of exceptions like Pretty Little Liars or The Vampire Diaries, is that obviously all of the outfits are amazing, but the stylists don’t seem to bee very creative with the shoes. I mean I do spot a couple of Jimmy Choo’s or Manolo Blahniks here and there but one make seems to be the most persistent: Christian Louboutins. Yes, they are beautiful and sexy and what not, but if we’re being honest, most people who watch these shows have no idea that they are Louboutins or Target. Unless the name of the make is actually pointed out or they are really extravagant and eye-catching. But it seems like the stylists put so much work into the outfits and then they’re like: “hmmm alright I’m getting tired and want to go home, but I’m still missing the shoes. Oh I know! One can never go wrong with Christian Louboutin! ‘Aight peace out”. And then they have a gorgeous black peep-toe high heel, which is half covered by jeans. Seems to me like it’s almost a waste of a choo... And what happens to the shoes after the episode is shot? The shoe goes into an archive and is pulled for one more scene three months later? With Gossip Girl or Sex and the City, where outfits are analyzed to the last little hair accessory on blogs and magazines I get it. But with shows that already tend to have a lower budget like Body of Proof I just don’t get the point? In reality shows it makes sense: the cameras are following stars like the Kardashians in their “everyday life” and they have an image to uphold. Don’t get me wrong though! I’m not complaining; I love the little who-can-spot-it game but some variety wouldn’t hurt any of them, if not make it more interesting. Alright I’m starting to ramble so I’ll stop and dream a little daydream of shoes ;)
