Vegan Fringed Thigh High Boots, The Who, and the Inimitable Pamela Des Barres

October 3rd, 2012

Have you ever seen the Woodstock: The Director’s Cut? Such a cool documentary.

If you have, who was your favorite act? Mine was The Who.

See me. Feel me. Touch me. Heeeeeal me. SEEE ME. FEEEEEHEHELELL ME.

Ok you get the picture. Or if you don’t, do yourself a favor, and watch it on youtube.  Maybe you were there in person, I don’t know…actually.

Well that scene really got to me the first time I saw it. He looked like a giant bird in his fringed coat. A bird-God. A rock God.

Ever since then I always wanted a fringed coat like that. Of course, they are all leather.

These shoes were made by Cri de Coeur, an excellent vegan company. They are sold on cri de coeur’s website, and freepeople.com which has better pics of them.

Very groovy. And not in a sarcastic way.

on cri de coeur’s website you can also find these vegan fringed bags. Very far out.

All this talk of the 60s has me thinking about two books I recently read.

I’m With The Band and Take Another Little Piece of My Heart by Pamela Des Barres, arguably the most famous groupie ever.

These are amazing books, especially I’m With The Band, which is about a free spirited girl who loved music so much she would do anything to meet her musical heros. She was searchin’ for true love with a rock star and her idealism and amazing writing skillz will thrill you!!

Here are some pics of this freaky but totally cool babe, Pamela Des Barres (who now runs writing workshops I’d love to attend!!!!)

(with JImmy Page who she was totally in love with)

And that is my shoe and book recommendation of the day for y’all.

Happy Wednes!!!

P.S How do you like the new look of the blog? I think it’s way better. Even though it’s a wedding theme?!?!?

And find me on Facebook if you haven’t already. I love seeing your faces.

Cool New Shoes From a Brand That’s Making Vegan Shoe Lovers Proud—-The Good Guys

September 18th, 2012
Who is F.C ?

Hello Everyone,

Before I begin I was wondering whether you may or may not want to LIKE the blog on facebook, since I am posting some really cute animal videos (2) and holding a “get to know you” party where we can all post pictures of ourselves with animals to introduce one another…There is already 1 person attending the get to know you party…myself…and you can see a great pic of me as a small child with a goat.

With that said,

One company I really admire is Good Guys Don’t Wear Leather. I have written about them before here and here in my Top Ten Vegan Shoe Essentials.

Well they have come out with new shoes for Fall.

They are so great, I can’t even believe they are vegan. I trust them though– no conspiracy theories or anything.

In my opinion, these are definitely the coolest vegan shoes for men out there. With the exception of these workman’s boots I wrote about. And of course, they are cool for women too.

Desert Boots. I am attracted to boys who wear these…sigh.

They have them in grey, olive, brandy and black.

Can you believe these are non leather.

Ok. Here are my other favorite picks.

blue suede shoes much? Very cool.

Also these. Wasn’t sure about them. But they look really cool on this girl.

Well, they’re great. Male readers, you can find cool shoes here and now my blog has served its purpose–to help people find vegetarian and vegan shoes which are actually cool.

One problem. They’re quite pricey, which stopped me from buying those cool pink and turquoise ones they had this spring–and now they are sold out. Dumb. My feelings are– this is the kind of vegan company we need more of. We need more of all kinds, but I love this one. These shoes are as beautiful as leather shoes…more so, with this awesome badge of being “a good guy” on the bottom of your shoes and the feeling that you are not wearing a tortured animal. I feel I need to support this company, and the price is justified.

Keep up the good work, good guys.

Also I love their tumblr. Their tumblr really makes you understand the look they are going for with these shoes. It’s old school, california surfer, lords of dogtown, rock and roll, fifties, sixties, french movies, L.A, the Wild West, Woody Allen–to name a few themes I spotted. I LOVE their inspirations. I can see it really expanding into an awesome brand. I’m a fan.

What do you think of them. Do any of you guys own a pair and want to tell me how shipping was etc, and what they’re like?

Find me on facebook if you want to connect. Happy Tuesday!
