The Seductive Shoe

The Seductive Shoe: Four Centuries of Fashion Footwear by Jonathan Walford looks like a great coffee table book. I can't resist a great book of shoes to thumb through while sitting by the fire having a nice glass of wine......

Vintage Shoes: Collecting and Wearing Twentieth-Century Designer Footwear by Caroline Cox looks pretty great too, I think I might need a bigger coffee table.......

Stevie Nicks Book Read Between The Lines

I have totally been into reading lately, especially non fiction and biographies. I definitely will be picking this one up for a nice read in the backyard on a Sunday...

Life With My Sister Madonna

Life with My Sister Madonna I just got done reading 'Life With My Sister Madonna' by Christopher Ciccone, and it was great! Lot's of juicy details that I was looking for. But interestingly enough the book is more a detailed story about Christopher, his issues with the loss of his mother, living in Madonna's shadow, and how he copes with her insanely uber-controlling tendencies. He gives us quite a different view of all the goings on behind the scenes at the shows, to differences in artistic vision, along with what we as Madonna fans might think is the "real" Madonna, well you are in for a surprise with this one....the dominatrix ever evolving super star that she seems to be, may be exactly the opposite.......Get your copy HERE I got mine used on Amazon for about $4.99..
