When one thinks of "Manolo Blahnik", two things usually come to mind. The first is, of course, the dainty (although sometimes scarily veiny) feet of Ms. Carrie Bradshaw from Sex and the City. The second thing is usually the word "fabulous".

Well, Manolo Blahnik is now trying to work some of his shoe magic on the male crowd through this collection of, um, monstrosities. Thank goodness the collection only has six pieces, because I don't think my eyes or poor heart could take looking at many more photos. Blahnik has approached the line with some serious aggression in both pattern and palette. I mean, experimentation is fun and all, but the end result of a lot of these is just sad. Just look at that perfectly good blue shoe, cut into bits. Where would a guy wear that? A formal beach? And don't even get me started on that scary leopard print sandal. Wow, I actually almost typed "sCandal" because my subconscious is so outraged.

Sorry, Blahnik, but Carrie would never let Mr. Big anywhere near these.
