And The Winner Is

in

And now...it's time for the main event.  In the left corner, standing at 3.75", mad pewter sparkle, comes in sizes up to 12 and a platform that won't quit, from Target...THE BLISS SPARKLE PUMP!  And in the right corner...standing at 5", a 1.5" platform, available in sizes up to 13 and gold glitter glam, from Payless...THE KOMET PLATFORM PUMP! Let the match begin!

OK, that was a bit dramatic but I have a huge decision on my hands...which pump should I wear on New Years?  I love both, have accessories to compliment both and they both go with my Kate Long Sleeved Rouched Dress from Height Goddess. 

Please help me pick! Tweet, comment on FB or below.  While you're at it, please let us know what you will be rockin to bring in the New Year.  I'm sure it's fabulous as always:-)

RED ALERT: Louboutin in size 12

in

Beyonce went HAM on the shoe game last night sitting courtside at the 2011 NBA All-Star Game in Los Angeles. Her hot Christian Louboutin Daffodile Platform Heels SHUT IT DOWN.  I scoured the internet looking for the blinged out "foot art" but I think like Beyonce, those heels are one of a kind.  BUT I did find something that every TallSwagger should know: Christian Louboutin shoes go up to a size 12! Now...size 12 ladies...I hate to burst your bubble...but the shoes run small so these "12s" probably won't fit you.  I wear a size 12 and tried on a pair and they were super snug (trust me...I tried to make them work lol) but all my 11 and under ladies...get your red bottom on!

BEYONCE KILLIN THE SHOE GAME WITH HER CHRISTIAN LOUBOUTIN DAFFODILE PLATFORM HEELS. I can't find these in a size 12 (insert crying smiley face here) BUT there are many size 12 (Euro size 42) red bottoms to choose from. Click the pic to go to the official Christian Louboutin website.

Let Them Know NeNe!

As you all know I am 6'6" and love to rock a high heel.  It is my firm belief that heels give you that extra PUMP (no pun intended:) of confidence.  I personally rock a heel because flats just aren't my thing.  I am not knocking people who wear them, but for me, flats live up to their title...flat:( 

With this said, I was juiced this morning when I turned on my television and Ms. NeNe Leakes was on the today show professing the same love for a sexy heel.  You have to watch this video!  I felt like I was in church while I was watching it!  Every thing she said made me hoop and holler.  When she said "If I was 6'5" I would still wear a 6" heel," I did a lap around my apartment! And then...the thing that really sent me into a state of sheer joy...wait for it...SHE IS STARTING A LINE OF SHOES SIZE 9 - 13!  I CAN'T WAIT!  You know they are going to be fierce because NeNe wouldn't put anything out that was just "OK."  It's not in her DNA.

Click the pic to watch Ms. NeNe Leakes tell the world that tall girls can wear heels too! Watch for NeNe's line of size 9 to 13 shoes come out soon. I will keep you updated:)Thank you NeNe.  Thank you for telling millions of tall women that they can rock a mean heel and thank you for creating shoes that we can wear that don't look and feel like boats!  I want to be your spokesperson, model, shoe tester etc.  Whatever I can do to help the tall movement...I'm in 110%  I am DEAD serious. 

Until NeNe's line comes out, here's some spring11 hot ones to keep you busy:
