MTV House of Style
Jewel dressing for a prom she never attended.
Jewels for the Prom
Jewel:
Hi this is Jewel. Im in NYC a long ways from Alaska. I never went to the prom myself but House of Style asked
me to do a prom segment so I, in all my prom illiteracy, am about to do one in full flagged glory. So I thought
we'd start from the base up.
I guess Im looking for the ultimate in prom shoe wear. Im not much of a prom shoe wear girl. Im more of a cowboy boot kind of
chick.
We have clean socks. I was pretty proud of this fact. It's hard being a musician on the road.
JEWEL SEARCHES FOR THE ULTIMATE PROM SHOE
Jewel:
My god thats gaudy. Its incredible. Are they me?
Hilary:
Thats gorgeous.
Jewel:
We got all sorts of things. Beads pearls encrusted gem stones its a jewel kind of shoe. They dont even put the price tags on these
shoes. Ha ha.
Hillary:
Black strappy?
Jewel:
(sings) Strappy little shoe. (She is looking in the mirror.) Girls walk I these huh? I guess they do it all the time.
Hillary:
Heres metallic. (she puts shoe next to jewels foot) Jewel is sitting on the chair again.
Jewel:
I dont know about lame. Ive always kind of had a grudge against it in fact. I need to be like forty. I shouldnt say such things.
Okay.
Hillary:
I have a feeling your in the mood for something a little bit strappy-er?
Jewel:
I like strappy, what can I say.
Hilary:
Yeah, the sizzle...Ill go get it.
Jewel:
Sizzle me baby. Does every shoe have a name?
Hillary:
Every single shoe has a name.
Jewel:
Who names them?
Hillary:
Manolo Blahnik names every shoe.
Jewel:
My word, what a creative guy! Is there any like great way that he names them like after lovers or anything exciting like that?
Hillary:
Im not sure exactly I know he reads all the time and I think that he gets a lot of the names from books that he reads.
Jewel:
How deep. Is that one little thing gonna hold my whole toe in.
Hillary:
You'll be amazed at how sturdy this is.
Jewel:
I will be. (Hillary is tying the shoe)
Hillary:
No you can really tie it any way that you want a lot of people prefer to tie it in the back but I like the bows in front. (she is tying
the shoe on Jewel) Thats actually a steel nail heel.
Jewel:
These are really nice shoes they are probably not great for prom shoes but I wouldnt mind it if you guys just gave them to me or
something like that.
Hilary:
I think that you have to choose that shoe, plus you can dance all night long in those.
Jewel:
You can, huh?
Hilary:
Its black crepe you'll be able to wear them with a million different things after the prom.
Jewel:
The cool part is your toes turn different colors than the rest of your feet. Its like color coordinated thing.
Hillary:
Now for the perfect black strappy evening shoe.
