You know how it is with FashCon. Notices popping up at all hours of the night, while you’re right in the middle of something, and you take a cursory glance before clicking them away. It’s sad but true, and something we all do. Lucky for me, while I was preparing last night’s post I took an extra moment to read a notecard that came up on from a little place called Biddle Boots. I wasn’t expecting much, since I’m super-picky about boots at the best of times and in the middle of the night I’m just plain crabby. So imagine my surprise when I opened the pictures, and immediately fell in love with the tiny pink ankle boots contained within.
I have a Thing for pink. I’m not afraid to admit it. For many years I denied it. I didn’t even like Barbies growing up. Well, I’ve come to think of pink as red’s sexy younger sister, and that works just fine for me. That picture seduced me with its siren song, and dragged me kicking and screaming right down to their newly-reopened main store to check out what wares they had on sale. At first I was surprised, so pretty but so few. There’s only three types of boot – one knee, two ankle – available in only four colours each, but the colours themselves were gorgeous. From the smooth, saucy blacks to the sultry reds, every colour has its own special personality. To quote Alia, “That electric blue color makes me want to rub these boots on my dirty parts.” I bet she will too, filthy pervert that she is. This is why I wont share my clothes with her!
Raw sex appeal aside, there is one thing that’s a slight turn off about the boots – the price. With the ankle cuties and ankle boots priced at $400L and $600L respectively, and the knee boots coming in at $800L, they are priced above ‘market average’, but not ridiculously so. I’m sure I’ll be lynched for saying this, but I do prefer the cut of the BB boots to the new Stiletto Moody knee boots, but I’m content to mark that up to personal preference. Besides, the BB knee boots are still $600L cheaper and they have one very potent selling point over many other in their class – they have a built in texture change menu for the heels, soles and chains with fourteen different options to choose from. They also have an inbuilt AO and heel clicks, which I personally will never use but I know some people love. And while I’m not generally a fan of resizer scripts over mod, the resizers in the knee boots were easy peasy to use and worked really well.
All in all, while the price is a bit of a mood killer, these boots are so gorgeous that you must have at least one pair in your closet. Be it the black kneeboots that’ll go with everything or the electric blue to add some spice to your life, these boots are killers that’re gonna get a whole lot of wear from at least two bloggers, you can bet your booty!
