Whips and chains and handcuffs oh my! I am thoroughly impressed with Gucci. I dare say their new shoes have all the attitude of bondage with none of the trashiness of a back alley club. These are not to be worn by some chick who makes you call her Mistress Debbie, Au Contraire Mon Frère, these are worn solely by the likes of Maîtresse Françoise and other sophisticated, powerful vixens. Or just those, who like me, are super skrd of anything having to do with pain but like to pretend anyway. Tres Chic Magnifique!
