We Stand Corrected

It's the riot that keeps giving.......
 
Several missives arrive taking the Shuttle to task for claiming the famous missing show belonging to Prime Minister Julia Gillard was a Mixxy shoe designed by one of the USA's top fashionistas Betsey Johnson.

The shoe appeared for sale briefly on Ebay today before the advert was pulled.

In fact the shoe was a Midas brand with the name GLORIFY as featured in our snap below and it sells for a hefty $A148 and not the mere $US87 that the Mixxy sells for.










And quick off the mark we spot this sales pitch for the famous Glorify  on the Midas website :


GLORIFY

Classic pump outline medium heel wedge. Super soft suede all leather lined available in black and navy. Perfect for the office, political escapes and finding the burley bodyguard of your dreams.  !!!!

Julia Gillard-So Fashionable

You too can dress like our gorgeous Welsh born Prime Minister. Julia Gillard.

The Shuttle has tracked down the designer of the famous Blue Suede Shoe that featured in yesterday's dramatic exit form a Canberra restaurant when the PM fled (with London born Opposition leader. Tony Abbott fast behind) to her waiting armour plated limo.

 The shoe is fast becoming almost as famous as the Kevin Costner-like minder who swept the PM along like a movie style hero as she clutched his manly arms.
Betsey Johnson's Maxxi



The shoe appears to be the Mixxy shoe by New York uber designer Betsey Johnson and a pair can be yours for the very reasonable price of just $US87 (plus postage).
