I Am Possibly The Least Fashion Conscious Person I Know,

not so the trendy people Matehuala, a northeastern Mexican city, the latest fashion is taking the town, also nearby ones, to new levels in footwear, the trend started when customer known only as "Cesar of Huizache" had an odd request for shoemaker Dario Calderon: He showed him a cell-phone photo of a sequined cowboy boot with pointy toes so long, they curled up toward the knees, He wanted a pair, but with longer toes, a fashion statement was born, the next thing Calderon knew, it seemed like everyone wanted the bizarre, half-Aladdin, all-Vegas pointy boots, from little boys attending church ceremonies to teenagers at the discos, Calderon fashioned the elongated toes from plastic foam and charged 400 pesos ($34) for the extensions, the competition began charging 350 pesos ($30) per 15 centimeters (6 inches) of new toe,

there must be a reason for this fashion, and there is, 'at the beginning I didn't like them very much, but the girls wouldn't dance with you if you weren't wearing pointy boots,' said university student Pascual Escobedo, 20, his own boots covered with hot pink satin and glittery stars, you can also make your own, boys who couldn't afford that used garden hoses to make their own, when one added glittery butterflies, another made 5-foot-long toes and added multicolor glitter stripes, not to be out done, one added stars to the tips, others added flashing lights and disco balls, strutting them on the dance floor to attract the girls, like peacocks spreading their feathers, will I take up the fashion? I do not think so, it would make driving the motorbike a bit difficult - and the truck impossible!
