Doesn't seem so regal to me

The Royals (airing on E) seems like a silly little show that vacillates between maudlin and tawdry. I lack the time and patience to catalog the show's sins against boot hobbyists, but suffice it to say the costumers are NOT our friends. There are some exceptions, usually involving the brunette princess.

The good news about S02E07? There are few things I like more than leather pants worn under riding boots (I'll even accept "leather" pants). The bad news? As my friend JA will quickly notice, Liz Hurley is riding in a pair of ludicrous cowboy-style ankle shoes.  Who does that?

"Well," you might say, "S02E03 isn't so bad, this well-shot frolic in floppy suede flats isn't horrible." And you'd be right, but in the scenes that immediately followed this, they made a big deal about the princess attending a fetish party wearing frightful high-heeled ankle shoes!




Let's Give Thanks For Paige

We've seen a lot of high boots on Home & Family (on the Hallmark Channel). Usually they're worn over pants or under a knee length skirt. I've never seen an outfit quite like the one Paige Hemmis wore on the Thanksgiving episode. Under the furry vest and plaid shirt she appears to be wearing tiny lace shorts. And of course she added tan thighboots and white stockings, because in the H&F universe this is what you wear for Thanksgiving.

Taylor Swift NYE 2012/13

I seriously love this look more than makes rational sense. From my capture archive, New Year Eve as 2012 became 2013.  One long performance I had to split into two.

Part 2

Brandy, NYE 2012/13

Brandy did two numbers for a New Years Eve Telecast back in 2012(as it became 2013) She was nice enough to sport a killer pair of OTK's (Tom Ford's?). This was from my archive of captures. You may have already seen another version.

From any other show this would be a stop the presses moment. For Arrow, s04e07 is just another episode where Katie Cassidy shows off her wonderful suit. There's a 10 second sequence at the end with poor lighting, but wonderful fight choreography.
