Get ready for ShoeTube

Can it really true? A Web site devoted entirely to...(suppressed squeal)...shoes?

Apparently it is true. Shoetube.tv is slated to debut in Feb. '08 and will feature anything and everything involving those marvelous little additions to our feet. Although not much more is known right now, you can check out more here: http://shoetube.tv/shoetube_coming_soon.html

Now, some might call me a shoe-aholic, considering I buy shoes with the same frequency that most people buy toilet paper. But if owning about 60 pairs stilettos is wrong I don't want to be right. Plus, I can stop at any time. What?! I can. Look, I'll throw away my credit cards right now to prove it...er, well, I will tomorrow (there's a sale at Kohl's today).

But as much as I love shoes, I can't help but wonder if a Web site like this will be successful. I mean, I love to wear my shoes, to go shopping for shoes and to talk about shoes non-stop (much to my boyfriend's delight, as you can guess), but an entire Web site devoted to it? Are there really that many aspects to shoes? 

The preview for the Web site is touting that they will have professional blogs about shoes, along with

"broadcast-quality programming, user-generated videos/photos, and sponsor-created content. You'll also find articles on what's going on in the footwear industry...and tons of community features."

Now even though this comment may get me kicked out of the Carrie Bradshaw sisterhood, I have to voice my doubts that shoes, no matter how cute, are really that interesting (pause as I wait for a mob of angry stiletto holding women to knock down my door and pummel me with Jimmy Choos...).

That said, however, I can guarantee that I will be one of the first on the Web site to check it out when it does debut. I mean, you never know. Maybe I'll find my "sole" mate on there (Bah-Dum-CHING!...thank you, thank you, ladies and gentlemen....I'll be here all week...be sure to try the veal).
