Thomas in Flagstaff emails us with heads-up about a post he came across today at BoingBoing.net:
Metal armour stiletto heels from Babylon 5 by Sword & Stone
They were crafted by Tony Swatton, and Sword & Stone can produce replicas for fans to purchase (6-10 week turnaround, $3000-5000 cost). Also, anyone heading to Comic-Con next weekend can check out their booth.
So, my obvious question is: which episode were these shoes featured in? Honestly, what episode? Tim and I are currently stumped…
Whoa… the shoes have spurs. I don’t wear heels, being a taller gal, but dude… spurs. Who in the B5 ‘verse is a spurs kinda gal?
update, 8:45am: I’m not convinced yet that these were in B5. The shoes aren’t listed in the show credits on their website, but the armor and weapons from “Grail” and the Centauri blades are listed. There aren’t any show or film credits listed for the shoes, and the only B5 reference is in the BoingBoing post. But I’m still willing to be surprised.
Interesting.
It would appear that the link to boingboing results in a 404 error now. Perhaps the pulled the reference?
That was weird. I copied and pasted the link, and now it’s fine.
It’s the work of Shadows.
Or the Vorlons!
Just where is Jeff anyways?
Whoa. Kick Arse Mystic Ninja does Cindareller. Look cool though. I can’t recall seeing them at all in B5. $5000 for a pair of shoes is a bit out there. Who would have thought that a shoe could be a weapon… Other than my mum that is.
There are no horses in Babylon 5 so these shoes do not fit.
The companion girl from Firefly may have ridden a horse.
If I had to take a guess as to who wore these it would be Lochley’s holo-brothal image in River of Souls. I could be wrong, I’ll have to dig out the dvd, but these look like they would’ve been appropriate for that scene.
Valerae’s guess is likely the closest. The only place I can see those shoes appearing would be in the Casino, or some other similar scene.
WOW! that a serious pair of Stilletos!
