Okay, design staff, we’ve got a huge honking problem with the fashion show! Our market research shows everybody thinks our new shoes suck!
This stuns me. You take our quilted red shoe, called “Sofa.” It turns out women aren’t so eager to be associated with a large overstuffed piece of furniture.
The same is true of our new “Gun” shoe and our “Tsing Ma Bridge” shoe. Who would have thought firearms and long suspension bridges would be a fashion turn-off?
So anyway, we decided to save money by only making ONE of each shoe, instead of a pair. The models can either HOP down the runway on one foot, or else just carry the damned things.
After the show, we’ll sell the single shoes to One-Footed Women with Bad Fashion Sense. Emily, can you Google to find a contact for that group?

LOVE the Tsing Ma Bridge Shoe! I want a Sydney Harbour Bridge version! And an Opera House hat!

- Posted by Robert BaslerWell, if there’s only one shoe available, then they will each need a skateboard to go with it. The skateboard will even be cheaper than the shoe! Everybody wins!
