Approaching the red line

If you know nothing else about Christian Louboutin's shoes — and I don't know a whole lot — you know that the soles are colored red. It's been a trademark for years.

Martha Stewart doesn't like it. Tucked away inside this entry on The Martha Blog, there's a photo of Martha's "wardrobe mistress" Karena taking a Sharpie to a pair of Louboutins because, says Martha, "I am not a fan of the signature red soles and always change the red to black."

I'm of two minds about this. She wrote a rather large check for this footwear and can do with it what she darn well pleases. Still, something about the de-Louboutination seems so wrong: it's like slapping a truck bed on a BMW.
