Perfect for the holiday! Why, you’ll hardly be able to hear Aunt Millie berate you for the umpteenth billion time about how you quit dating that med student over how LOUD those colours are — supper will be saved!
I’m not Jewish so this may come off a little dumb, but that tall shoe on the end, shouldn’t it be in the center? Every menorah I’ve seen always has the highest candle in the center of the piece.
when you construct it out of flamboyant clay shoes of unevenly distributed height, doesn’t it kind of cease to be a menorah and become simply a crappy candle holder that holds 9?
Are you going to “thumb down” me into oblivion if I say
that I LOVE this? I love shoes and this is so freaking
awesome. It’s not cheap..but if I could afford I would
buy it. The artist is very talented.
polaroidart, I agree with ya. If I were young, hip, Jewish, and had $430 to drop on a trendy menorah this would rock.
…
I’m glad you agree with me, hammerhead! I really really like her sculptures.
It’d be cheaper to go out and buy nine shoes, drill holes in the heels, and hot glue them to a piece of wood. It’d probably look nicer, too. Those colors are just tacky as fuck.
But when they saw the army coming to meet them, they said unto Judah: ‘What? shall we be able, being a small company, to fight against so great and strong a multitude? …’ And Judah said:”Fear Not, Macabees. For one day they shall sing our praises and make homage unto us with brightly colored shoes.”
Hermes – question – regarding “Jap”, I worked for some women who threw that term around all the time with each other. I asked about it & they told me what it meant but also said that I should never ever use it. Is “Jap” kind of like a slur that has been reclaimed or can be used by Jews in the company of others?
Nothing says “Happy Chanukah” like a Hooker-Heel Menorah.
(PS–the only rule regarding the Shamash, or the servant candle, is that it’s obviously set apart from the rest of the candles–either shorter or taller in height. Doesn’t matter where it’s placed relative to order. In this case, it has that splendidly whorish Mary Jane to sit in!)
I’m not jewish so the possibility of this being sacreligious doesn’t matter to me, I just have a total addiction to tacky ceramic shoes, so I MUST have this.
Oh and is it evil that I think we should all give the luvvins on Skully just for the purpose of getting him in trouble with the missus?
#6 ninjagato – you sure this is the artist in 3rd person? I’m a ceramicist snd I would never use angobes over engobes, and surely the work would be fired rather than burnt?
Either the seller hasn’t a clue what they are actually selling or they have a bad case of babelfish…
#21, That’s a good question. Calling a girl Jappy where I’m from (New York) isn’t considered a slur so much as slightly sarcastic/mildly derogatory/occasionally complimentary. If you call a Jewish person the K-word, for instance, yeah–that’s bad in ANY context. But Jappy? It’s practically a badge of honor in the city or on Long Island or Scarsdale. Loads of Jewish American Princesses in this area.
The shamash, the candle with which you light all the other candles on the menorah, doesn’t have to be in the middle, I’ve seen it on the end on several different menorahs. Also, the candles are supposed to be lit from right to left, not left to right.
I’m not ashamed to say that I’m a JAP and love the Menorah (technically they’re called Chanukiahs – Menorahs have seven branches). I wouldn’t use it for the actual candle-lighting, but it would look nice on a shelf with unlit candles in it. You can’t go wrong with SHOESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS!!!

There’s an artist sticking to the spirit of the festival of lights!

It’s $430, but, of course, who pays retail?

It bothers me when sellers refer to themselves in the third person.

What $430, just go to the corner of Pico and Santee, ask for Stanley, tell him Skully sent you, he’ll take care of you.

I’m sure I saw this in a Lillian Vernon catalog. And for lots less.

Shouldn’t the big shoe at least be put in the middle? sheesh!

Actually, I LOVE this. Obviously I’m the Jappy type though. Exhibit A: my username.

The tacky as fuck aspect is part of the charm.

#38 I posted the same thing yesterday, about the candles being on the wrong side. Apparently they don’t care. Even though the admin is half Jewish.
