Sea of Shoes on the News

Fashion
Apr 15, 2009213 Comments

On Tuesday night this little short about Sea of Shoes aired on Channel 33! I missed it in real time unfortunately because I don't have a TV but it's online now! But wow, very honored and very excited. 
I am really rockin' the double chin! LOL. Okay. Sorry, I am just so self-conscious about being filmed!   
Thanks to my friend Maury for uploading this-he also did a nice write up which I am going to put up here:
Sea of Shoes' Blog Author, JANE ALDRIDGE [INTERVIEW/FEATURE] 

KDAF 'The 33 News' 

Dallas, TX 
[orig. air date: 4.13.09]


Jane Aldridge [in her first television interview] is calm, composed and at home [literally].

Her CV includes 'Teen Vogue' and 'French Glamour,' and hundreds of blogs, whose readers track her every footstep–Jane is unfazed, but not immune to scrutiny.

This featurette includes shiny 'boot-y' from her closet [recognizable to readers of 'Sea of Shoes'–her industry-watched blog, described here as, 'One of the most popular blogs on the Internet']. 

Jane Bites:

Most hits in a day? [61,000].

Kanye West 'Boot-y call'?

[Yes, but not what you're thinking. Rapper, turned fashion maven and SOS fan was all 'bout business.]

Got shoes? Affirmative! 

Exotic, avant-garde; always chic; impossible to find this side of Paris [France, not Texas], Jane's shoes artfully parked in their own showroom–her bedroom closet, await her selection du jour for, either exercise, or their big break–a photo layout in 'SOS,' where one imagines serious late night multilingual bitch-sessions on who has more hits [CDG or AD]? And who's a played-out pump from the early '07s?

[As a reader of 'SOS' (she also posts very occasionally to my blog), I have witnessed grown women, teenage girls, and not a few men comment her posts, combining bliss, agony, deep-green envy, and obeisant supplication, with the rare Jerry Springer-reject thrown in for kicks.] 

Jane, with insight beyond her years, and an easy Texas laugh appropriate to them [due in part to her mother, Judy Aldridge, former Japan-based fashion model, current designer and vintage retailer at 'Atlantis Vintage' http://atlantishome.typepad.com], credits Mom for inspiration and an early initiation by Kabuki [a time-capsule from Judy, stored in her attic, and labeled, 'for Jane'].

This three-minute clip [accompanied by awful techno], conceived as an 'human interest peek into Jane's closet,' finds Jane flipping absurdity into Zen pancakes.

Cocksure, not cocky, Jane [with a twinkle] begins, 'If I were a shoe…,' selecting a chic '09 Alaïa 'Maryjane on Steroids' and anthropomorphizing it with only a modicum of detectable bullshit into that which would normally define superfluity, but which here transforms a teenage puff-piece, tabled in Dallas, into a real fashion remote from Trophy Club, where suburban student Jane turns into 'Shoesea' Superhero– "Shoenami J"!

Most 17-year-old young women would have Tweet'd, Facebook'd and Myspace'd this item faster than you can say Demeulemeester. Ms. Aldridge was kind enough to extend me the favor. I'd like to take this opportunity to thank her for her permission to vicariously participate, witness and begin a viral phenomenon.

It's been a learning experience to clock a Ferrari's 'Zero to Sixty' Hits-Per-Hour next to my Hybrid, and I'm humbled.

p.s. While cynical observers doubt this wunderkinds' credibility; it seems that her age is proving just one of her assets in the quixotic, constant flux of the world which she chronicles and inhabits; however, that which fuels the her current flame, will only see her passion prove its limit.

~Nichopoulooza
~mrjyn

Thanks again Maury. 
I hear this short might make it to CNN? Who knows! I'll update this post if I find out.
and thanks again KDAF!

    Your love of vintage and originality are so refreshing to see everyday! You can’t buy originality like that–If you ever question yourself, step back and get back into what YOU love! All the influences in media and industry can make you start thinking what others will think is good, but the second you DO think about it, you’re stepping away from what brought you to where you are!
    Just wanted to encourage you to trust your own talent. I know people in the fashion industry that have all said to me that–one day, you’ll have people who depend on you for a paycheck or for their good name and you will worry. Learning to make decisions like there’s NOTHING riding on it will be what keeps you original!! :)

Cuz oh man, I have been to Trophy Club and in no way shape or form is it a fashion mecca. It may be a line dancing mecca, but fashion?! The only thing remotely fashionable about it is….well, ill get back to you on that.

    You most certainly do not have a double chin, but I think the camera makes us all self-concious. I knew you had a load of shoes, but when I saw the closet and all its selves full of shoes I had to catch my breath. Better than any kids first day at Disneyland hands down. Love your style. Oh and CONGRATS!

    Hey Jane,
    my name is Lillian and I really like your blog, I being 14, and Not Rich was wondering how in the world do you pay for your delish clothes and shoes? I, for one shop at thrift stores and small names, can’t really pay up any more than $50 for an article of clothing or shoe.
    Also it is spectacular, that you are getting all this publicity! Are you designing your own line? Or did I misunderstand that on the Channel 33 video?
    Congratulations!

    I liked what you said about putting a little glamour back into your life. The old rules such as “matching your shoes to your bag” and “hats and gloves for all occasions” of course had to evolve, but what we have now is a common understanding that black lounge pants should be chosen over white ones when in public, and that there are sneakers for all occasions. Where’s the glamour in that! It’s easy and acceptable to give up on the artfulness of it all. Thanks for inspiring glamour in our lives, Jane!

    Congrats, your blog is the best. It is so different to all the other fashion blogs.

    I visit your blog very often and I kind of like it, but I’m not sure what do you mean by saying that 61 000 hit a day is like ‘all these people on Poland’. Poland is not that small ;P I hope you go to school sometimes, kid:)
