These shoes need to get outta my dreams and into my closet!! Talk about orgasmic, the sight of the leopard print ankle boots that Ciara had on and especially the fringe booties Rihanna was rockin' got me closer to an orgasm than any of my ex-boyfriends ever did!
For a self-proclaimed shoe junkie, with well over 200 shoes stock-piled in my spare bedroom like a Montana militia's weapons cache, seeing his designs makes me want to trade them ALL in for one pair of Louboutins (well ok, maybe not, but I'd trade at least 50)!!
Here's some information you may have never know about Christian Louboutin, my new hero!
Christian Louboutin (born 1964) is a footwear designer who launched his line of high-end women's shoes in France in 1991. Since 1992, his designs have incorporated the shiny, red-lacquered soles that have become his signature. On March 27, 2007, Christian Louboutin filed an application for U.S. trademark protection of this red sole design.

Christian Louboutin helped bring stilettos back into fashion in the 1990s and 2000s, designing dozens of styles with heel heights of 120mm (4.72 inches) and higher. The designer's professed goal is to “make a woman look sexy, beautiful, to make her legs look as long as [he] can.”

In his U.S. trademark application, Louboutin explains the inception of the signature red soles:
"In 1992 I incorporated the red sole into the design of my shoes. This happened by accident as I felt that the shoes lacked energy so I applied red nail polish to the sole of a shoe. This was such a success that it became a permanent fixture."

Louboutin also received inspiration for his infamous, lethal-looking stilettos from an incident that occurred in his early twenties. He had visited a museum and noticed that there was a sign that forbade women to enter while wearing sharp stilettos, for fear of damage to the extensive wood flooring. This image stayed in his mind, and he later used this idea in his designs. "I wanted to defy that," Louboutin has said. "I wanted to create something that broke rules and made women feel confident and empowered."
