Not really a good comparison, but didn't feel like making two posts.  Former would be perf and I'd jump all over that shit for $50.  Latter seems too gladiator.  Dude, a lot of these auctions I'm posting are ending May 25 -- weird.  And post rapture, for that matter.

A -- 5/24/11: 
Manolo1: Too yellow, and I don't like rounded straps like that, I prefer them flat.  Also, too expensive.
Manolo2: I kinda like the gladiator look, and this looks newer, which could justify the price if it is truly unworn.  Seems like something you'd need to try on tho, to see how you like the gladiator look on your foot.

T, 5/25/11:
Manolo#1 ended at $100, 2 bids.
Manolo#2 ended at $158.50, 10 bids.  You win.

Ok this statement is going to date me, and reveal just how sadly obsessed w/popculture I really am, but it's too relevant not to include: these remind me of the shoes that Kristin Cavallari wore on an episode of the first season of Laguna Beach. (the real OC!)  Yah, I know, there were about 458384 things wrong w/that sentence, but what can I do, I can't shake it!  That appeal aside (and again sadly, that is a pretty strong appeal), I also like these shoes on their own merits:

1. Manolos (I have only one pair - the black patent maryjanes that were on an episode of Sex and the City…sigh, I have really got to stop taking my cues from terrible TV)

2. Silver heels (I have been wanting a pair for a long time, altho I would prefer more strappy…but then again, I am kinda lacking in the pump/slingback department given my predilection towards all things thinly strapped and revealing, even shoes)

3. Umm…starting price + shipping of $35.99?  BigfatYES

T, 4/9/11:  YESSS!

A -- 4/12/11: Sold for $21.49 (2 bids).  Decided I couldn't get away from my desire for strappy.

T, 4/11/11:  Dear lord, I'm insanely jelly right now . . .

Guess Manolos were so 2007, heh.  Can't believe no one's bid on these yet, and they're in decent condition too (don't mind if soles are a little worn, I'd prob get them resoled anyway).  If I didn't already have a pair of Stuart Weitzmans that looked extremely similar to these, I'd consider them.  But I still don't have a pair of haute couture shoes . . . (as if that's essential to life, haha).

T, 1/2/11:  whoa, feels weird to write the new yr.  Ended at $56, with 5 bids.  A little more than I thought it'd go for, since no one bid for so long!
