: walking through the shoe isle i see a pair of Mephisto Walking Shoes! the
: Tilly Hat of leicasnobs (if you don't believe me, check out the archives).
: my hands are trembling as i yank them down from the shelf, at $9.99
they're
: a STEAL. quickly i unlace my fallingapart combat boot and squeeze my toe
: into the mephisto. it's about four sizes too small. HA! i decide to wear
it
: anyway. how can any leica owner be caught dead without them? using a shoe
: horn and three helpful bystanders i wedge my foot into the mephisto;
tickled
: to no end realizing how you all will turn green with envy when you see me
: stylishly walking down the street like this:
:
: AUGH! AUGH! AUGH!
:
: three steps advise me to quickly put them back. my toes aching from being
: folded beneath my foot like a closed book i am limping towards the door
when
: i see a pair of Definately Very Ugly-Ass Shoes.
:
: They look oddly familiar.
:
: could they be?
:
: yes INDEED! it's a pair of Bruno Magli's!!! the very shoes made fameous by
: photographers harry scull and ej flammer when they both ponied up photos
of
: o.j. simpson wearing them at a buffalo bills games in 1993. (previously
they

nicole

: (www.brunomagli.it) there is a photo essay by ellen von unwerth of some
: nearly naked model running around in spikey heels which must be bruno
: magli's.
:
: p.p.s. these are indeed ugly ass shoes, but the really scary thing is that
: the person who killed nicole brown simpson was wearing these shoes and a
: black sweat suit. talk about bad taste. loafers and a sweat suit? give me
a
: break!
