The pants I am wearing are a recent eBay purchase, I can't stop wearing them since they've arrived. Also, I am wearing my new basket weave Givenchys, and holy moly, they are by FAR the most painful shoes I own. I wore them to go shopping and they totally lacerated my feet-oh well, better suck it up! I'm in love with these gorgeous shoes.
2008 was great! I'm sad to say goodbye.
But the new year looks bright! The future holds exciting things!!

lopi says
Happy New Year, Jane!
I wish you all the best for you and your family!
anne says
the givenchy basket weave wedges are weirdly tiny and narrow and KILL. the givenchy peep toe wedge bootie with double strap is the same basic construction but super-comfy. it’s very strange how they vary! hang in there with your beautiful shoes! both styles are so lovely to look at.
alixrose says
Happy New Years and that video is ridiculous in such an amazing way, its flabbergasting.
I would totally go through so much pain for those shoes!
Danielle says

Jane Aldridge says
HI GUYS, THANKS FOR THE NICE COMMENTS!
THE PANTS ARE A NO-NAME DESIGNER. TOO BAD, I WOULD LOVE TO FIND OUT MORE ABOUT THEM. THEY HAVE SLITS THAT EXTENT ALL THE WAY UP THE LEG AND A REALLY COOL SORT OF CORSETED WAIST.
THEY HAVE BEEN DUBBED ‘THE GRASSHOPPER PANTS’ BY MY LITTLE SISTER. LOL.

Buy Online Rx says
I always wondered why he was not a way bigger star than he is. I would think some one like him would be a mogal by now. It must be because he is openly gay or would not sell out, i dunno.
