Venus Williams ruffles a few feathers...

Apparently Venus Williams is making the transition from tennis superstar to cancan dancer...

The Moulin Rouge inspired garment looks like something that you might find at a trashy lingerie store in a bad neighborhood.  And black and red together, talk about a cliche.  Add in the can-can flounce on the bottom and she looks more aptly suited for a kick-line than a service line.  But if you think the outerwear is bad, you haven't seen anything yet.

Sandals Blergh! Pt. Ankle Cuffs

I don't understand why sandals would have ankle cuffs.  Keep your ankles warm during breezy summer nights?  Are these the wristbands for your ankles(maybe you have sweaty ankles)?

There are so many things that I don't like about these Marc sandals: the thin, horizontal vamp seems impractical, the buckles look like they came from a very average Coach bag, and of course the ankle cuff.  Between the thin vamp and chunky ankle cuff, the shoe looks extremely unbalanced.  These babies are yours for just 400!

I can tolerate the Tory Burch Stud T-strap flats.  Although the shape of the sandal still seems a bit silly, the zipper in the back is fitting for an ankle cuff.  As a whole, the design of this shoe flows.  And they're 100 cheaper than the Marc pair!

Keyhole Sandals, Blergh!

These sandals, which have been termed keyhole sandals, are ubiquitous.  Most cheap brands sold them last year and so they are on the feets of everyone this season!  Here we have a pair by Steve Madden the King of the Cheaply Made Shoes:

They don't look horrible in the picture, but when worn these look clunky and the lines are oddly inorganic.  The patent ones are especially horrid because the shiny accentuates everything wrong about this sandal.   I much prefer a t-strap sandal.
