Yee-Ha!

This is the final week to see the exhibit Sole Desire: the Shoes of Christian Louboutin at The Fashion Institute of Technology in New York City. Famous for those red-hot soles, Louboutin’s shoes are a favorite accessory of many celebrities, including Playboy's December 2002 covergirl, Dita Von Teese.

Her crystal-studded “Lipteese” cowgirl boots, which Louboutin designed especially for her MAC Viva Glam burlesque show, are one of the highlights of the exhibit. If you can’t make it to see them in person, check out this video where you can catch a glimpse of the boots and watch Dita skillfully ride a giant lipstick.
