Harrods employee Maggie Bartram watches Cedric the deadly Egyptian cobra guard a precious Rene Caovilla sandal -- one of a pair encrusted with rubies, sapphires and diamonds -- in a glass display. The sandals sell for $125,887 at the London department store.

Once again, I'm in the wrong goddamn country.

She's not actually afraid of the cobra, contrary to appearances. She's saying "Someone would pay $126K for THAT?!"

Is it me or are the gems set in a snake shape on the toe strap?

[torrain.livejournal.com]

*squints* I believe they are.

I'm sorry- the journalist needs to learn a little more about shoes and the English language... there isn't enough SHOE there to be "Encrusted" ...
Sheesh... $126K for a fancy toe-ring?

Does that price include the snake guard? Because otherwise it'd be kind of lame.

[opaqueplanet.livejournal.com]

Yeah, really... I'd steal the snake, leave the shoes. ^_^

They better have a lot more guarding that thing besides a snake.

Damn straight, I'd steal the snake an leave the shoe too. Always wanted a pet cobra.

"Yes... I'd like to try that on, please."

"You know, I don't think I like it. You can put it back now."

Damn, no bites. I'll try again in half an hour.
