Windowlicker

Continuing this week's inadvertent theme of Amy Winehouse & Bottega Veneta... The more I contemplate it, the more I wish she'd clean up her act, tone down her look and blow the dust off the venerable brand (as opposed to say, a bureau). This particular item goes with my best-loved song of hers this week, "F*** Me Pumps," a wry send-up of contemporary dating culture and the disappointing aspirations of the disappointed: You don't like players, That's what you say-a, But you really wouldn't mind a millionaire. You don't like ballers, They don't do nothing for ya, But you'd love a rich man six foot two or taller...

[Bottega Veneta Nude Patent Pointed Toe Pumps, $376 at Bluefly]

Windowlicker - from the French for window shopping: faire du lèche-vitrine - appears on Tuesday and Thursdays at 10am EST-ish.

I don't get the whole Amy Winehouse fascination. She sounds like Fran Drescher channeling Erykah Badu.
