Diablo Cody has artistic integrity
Posted by Jonny O on February 26, 2008
Did you hear about Diablo Cody’s shoes? She has far too much self respect to wear a pair of $1 million diamond shoes. She will gladly grind you for $20 in the back room of a dingy gentlemen’s club, but don’t you dare ask her to wear the shoes she designed herself to the Oscars. She has scruples you know!
Cody writes on her MySpace blog:
They’re using me to publicize their stupid shoes and NOBODY ASKED ME. I would never consent to a lame publicity stunt at a time when I already want to hide. I’m sorry if I sound like a party-pooper, but Jeebus.”
Jeebus indeed! Here is designer Stuart Weitzman’s response:
This year – more so than in any previous year – the lady who was given the opportunity to wear it was quite involved in the design process. Diablo Cody sent me examples of the type of shoes she liked and actually did the final selection herself…She chose to adorn the shoes with medium-sized diamond roses from three different sizes offered to her. Why she seems to be so surprised as to the attention being paid to her and these shoes, I cannot answer.”
Stewart sounds like a trustworthy guy, but she gets naked for dollar bills, so you can see why I have a hard time deciding who to put my support behind. On the one hand, Diablo will awkwardly shimmy her pasty, tattooed body for me to “Pour Some Sugar on Me” while I drink $10 bud lights, but on the other hand, FREE SHOES! This is what they are talking about when they talk about life’s hard choices.
UPDATE:– This is the funniest thing I have seen all day. I watched it twice. Its that funny.
