For those of you just joining us, FMFFI is a regular feature in which I ask the five men in my life for their first impressions of a strange fashion item. These impressions range from pegging top models as transsexuals to quoting Willow, and I always find them quite amusing.
Today's item: a striking pair of Jeffrey Campbell sandals, available at Urban Outfitters and first brought to my attention by Samida of Stained Couture:
Men! What say you?
Brother, Age 20: Oh man. Oh man. I don't like 'em at all. They look like hands, for one. They look like Shredder's gloves.
Father: All I can say is, Where's Spartacus when you need him?
Brother, Age 18: They look a little out of place without Sigourney Weaver shooting at them...
Boyfriend: (Laughs) They're horrible. Just horrible. They look like they're made of skin. Human skin.
Brother, Age 13: Hmm...It looks like human scalps. A pile of human scalps.
And there you have it: Solid proof that that Urban Outfitters is selling human scalps for 98 bucks. Really, what kind of world do we live in?

Taking the gladiator look over the edge and into the void.

:)
I love those 5 men!
Luv
Poochie
Hahaha! These might be a good remedy for cankles.
Um... nothing wrong with wearing human scalps?!?
I'll keep these in mind if I ever need to go to a toga party thrown by a cannibal.
Hee! Human scalps... Hee! From the mouths of babes...
I am trying to figure out something.... Why would a man need warm calves and cold feet and ankles or sweaty calves, while his feet and ankles are airing out....
I always look forward to this feature. I think it's a safe bet that the five men in your life have helped in keeping the whole fashblog community just that much more grounded.
I hope I never meet your menfolk because I have 2 pairs of sandals almost exactly like these! I know, I'm a freak! In my defense though, I only have them in black - the tan ones do look a tad human.
that was really funny. i almost chocked on my mint
I can't imagine what freaky tan lines you would get if you wore these in the summer!
hahaha. we sold a pair of jc's similar to these at the shoe store I used work at...my co-workers and i would always wonder why anyone bought them. i guess it makes u stand out for better or worse. great feature btw, i love it!
ha ha! human scalps, brother age 13 you truly are hilarious! (:
i think that brother age 18 is a douche!
