COMME DES GARÇONS DERBY SHOES AND TILA TEQUILA

Images via Très Bien

These COMME des GARÇONS letter derby shoes are probably too cool for me, because if I bought them, I would be perpetually terrified of the inevitable question: "What do the letters spell?" The answer is I don't know. Those letters could spell out anything -- a name, a zen koan, an unholy incantation to our Dark Lord Satan -- or they could just be an assortment of randomly thrown together characters, much like the Welsh language or the cast of A Shot at Love with Tila Tequila. Hey, remember when Tila Tequila called Hitler a "special and sweet kid" and dressed up like a Nazi? People throw copious amounts of shade at Paris Hilton and the Kardashians for being purposelessly famous, but they gave us House of Wax (2005) and Kimojis, so they can't be all bad. All Tila Tequila ever gave anyone was herpes (BAZINGA!). I hate to speak ill of the soon-to-be-dead, but Tila Tequila must be the worst creature ever to wring Warhol's proverbial fifteen minutes of fame out of the desiccated mop rag that is our popular culture. I try to keep this blog as positive as possible, so this will probably be the first and last time I reference Tila Tequila. In the interest of fairness, I will conclude by mentioning the fact that Shot at Love is one of the greatest pieces of trash television I've ever seen and I have no regrets about the time I wasted watching idiots fight over the amorous attentions of a Nazi -RB
