Diablo Cody’s Shoe Debacle

Apparently, Diablo is in trouble over the shoe debacle. Stuart Weitzman issued a statement about the shoes claiming that Diablo was involved in the entire process.
So, Diablo helped design shoes and helped pick out the raucously-huge-diamond roses to adorn them. But, that still doesn’t mean that she agreed to publicise a pair of one-million dollar shoes. And the whole million-dollar price tag is a huge PR story, made up by the Weitzman people. Let’s be honest; the shoes probably cost a few thousand to make. When Weitzman slapped on the MILLION-dollar price tag, he involved Cody in a stunt that she did not agree to.
Agreeing to wear a pair of shoes and agreeing to a huge publicity stunt are two very different matters. In fact, Cody’s decision not to wear the shoes probably earned Weitzman more media attention than any other designer represented at the Awards. He should be thanking her for the rejection.

The Midwesterner Meets Hollywood
My Diablo Cody binge continues into the evening. I am going to have one helluva of Diablo hangover tomorrow. This article chronicles Diablo’s first trip to Hollywood.
First of all, I love how Diablo approached Hollywood; she approached it with the awe of a tourist, and the sceptical distrust of any well-educated person in this world. Her descriptions of The Standard are spot-on -especially the tiggle bitty woman who unabashedly doused herself in sprinkler water. PS. Tiggly Bitty translates to Big Ol’ Titties. It is one of my favorite stolen expressions. Use it as you may.
Second of all, Diablo’s anxiety about meeting people speaks to me. I too, hate meeting strangers. But, more than that, I hate the feeling of nervousness that goes along with that whole process. So cheers to Diablo for porking down some SSRIs. Her admitting to this nervousness adds a validity and realness to her person that is not often seen in today’s Hollywood, which I feel is the main reason that I love her. She ain’t Hollywood baby, and she don’t give a damn.
Third of all, I love the naivete that resonates in this article. When I say naivete, I mean it in the most positive way. Diablo seems unaware of how big she is about to be. Her naivete, paired with a distrust of the whole process, allows Cody the ability to see Hollywood for what it is, and not be jaded by the ominous palm trees and neon In-N-Out lights.
Diablo Cody is Amazing

I have a severe friend crush on Diablo Cody. SEVERE. Not only is she a writer, a stripper, a freakin’ Academy Award winner, but she is amazingly funny. Her dry, snarky humor rocks my world.
Not going to lie, I first learned of Diablo Cody through this article. I was not pleased with her choice to wear the shoes -I thought it quite attention-whorey. But, this fact did not stop me from going on an Internet-research binge and looking up everything there was to know about Ms. Diablo Cody.
My fanatical search led me to her Myspace account, where I of course asked her to be my friend. I have yet to be approved…APPROVE ME DIABLO. I also stumbled upon her old blog, which chornicles her “former stripper” days.
In her myspace blog, Diablo comments about the shoe fiasco:
”NEWS TO ME, kids. I must have somehow missed the part where my shoes cost a MILLION FUCKING DOLLARS and my “choice” of footwear would be publicized nationwide. I honestly thought they were just sparkly shoes. Mr. Weitzman did mention that the diamonds were real when I tried them on, but I’m not Nancy Rockman, Expert Gemologist. I didn’t, you know, bust out my miniature spyglass and assess the potential worth of my kicks. “
After reading this post, my love for Diablo increased tenfold, and then she ended up not wearing the shoes at all, which garnered the media attention of everyone. Apparently, Diablo has started a fashion feud, and we all love a good feud.
Diablo’s tattoo rocks my socks. I wonder when she got it, pre or post stripper days?
