ballet heels - will they appear near you?

HHDude · 14th July 2007, 08:41

Christina Aguilara - Hurt
Beyonce - Green Light
Pink - U + Ur Hand (still can't find where she wears em in the vid)

Three vids so far with an appearance of ballet heels in each. More appearances probably coming in the near future. But the real question is: Is it enough to get people to drive out $100 or more for a pair? Will there be more people out there walking like they're crippled, with only them knowing they're not? Will the long jeans over the ballets soon disappear??? (random last question)

This is directed more towards ballet heel fans, but others may post their opinions as well.

Pink's wearing them when she comes down on the rope in the BigTop...

I think that it will be a while before they come close to being mainstream in fact I reckon that they'r a passing fad like back in the 80s when guys wore stilettos in music vids.

Aww, man! I was hoping to spot more people around in ballets these days, and the future.

Around 3.40 in the Ur Hand video, she's sitting down reading a red book with a "vamp" look... when you get a full shot of her is where you can make out her right foot in a ballet heel. She's not walking in them :( sigh

I am sure ballet heels never will;). This is an extreme shoe and will never be a normal everyday footwear even for those who can walk on these properly- no matter what some phantasies would expect;). Thoughts are free- phantasies legitime, but one should differenciate if it´s about reality;). but I think they will appear again and again in pop- culture (music, advertising, modern arts) - for the reason they are so extreme.

there are more people who like ballet SHOES (classical ballet dance shoes) than those who might be fascinating by ballet HEELS but even those are not worn on the street altough it would be even easier as one can change.

As to green light, the video is always cut so that you usually cannot see the arms and the legs of the persons at the same time... and in the only scene the whole person is visible, you recognize why.

that scene with aguillera in ballets I think is beautiful especially as she does not try to imply something she does not really do.

here the scene with pink.

but I´ve heard from a friend she CAN walk in ballets and there would exist a video somewhere her doing that.

I think umbrella by rihanna quite nice too - she really walks on pointe shoes. I do not think I could.

HHDude · 20th July 2007, 06:14

wow. mtv (an example) really does take off the feet

its funny cause they dont do anything to rhianna's video. they show the whole video, uncut, as if it came straight from youtube or somethin

no idea if they do that in beyonce's 'green light' vid. doubt i'll ever see if they do either
