As a girl, I was fascinated with the Marquis de Sade...weird, right?! What cool shoes! I'd love to put them on a pedestal in my dining room!

Ya know, people will mostly buy them for display purposes although he does show models walking the catwalk in them.
Those shoes look a bit precarious.
I just saw Holy Mountain and El Topo for the first time. Wow seriously awesome films and speaking of Bunuel saw Un Chien Andalou which although not the best film obviously influenced Jodorowsky.
