When designer Jimmy Choo created a pair of sandals strung with diamonds for Vogue magazine, he started something that still hasn't been finished. Every year now at the Oscars ceremony some starlet shows up in multimillion dollar pumps, often crafted by cobbler-to-the-stars Stuart Weitzman.The latest fund-a-third-world-economy footgear designed by Stuart was a pair of goldtone, 40s-style pumps encrusted with over 1,800 Kwiat diamonds weighing over 400 carats.Screenwriter Diablo Cody, who wrote Juno, refused to wear the shoes, which at well over one million dollars make the fabled Ruby Slippers look like worn K-Mart scuffs. “They’re using me to publicize their stupid shoes and NOBODY ASKED ME,” Cody wrote on her MySpace blog. “I would never consent to a lame publicity stunt at a time when I already want to hide.”You gotta love a woman who tells Prince Charming to go screw himself.You go, girl!
