Even though I don’t like Sex and the City, I completely understand why Carrie Bradshaw collected Manolo Blahnik shoes until she went broke. Yes. Yes. Yes! Shoes are essential and oh so useful. For example, when you have a lot of shoes, then each morning you can step into whatever color and style fit your mood.

However, when you are traveling, shoes are pretty heavy and take up heaps of space. So, for a while now, I’ve been thinking about inventing high heels with removable heels so that I could wear flats from time to time.

It seems that I’m one step behind, however. Young German designers have come out with something far crazier than I ever dreamed up. It’s called “Nat-2interchangeableduofunctionshoe.” If you’re having a hard time dividing up that monster word, let me explain it to you in plain English. Basically, you can make flip flops out of sneakers…with just a zipper. How does it work? These photos explain it far better than I can.

This crazy combination won the Innovation & Design Award 2007. I don’t wear sneakers often, but I really want to go and grab a pair of these right now!

May is nearly over, so it’s time again to treat you to our blogbuzzter! The latest buzz is of course the launch of the

• “Sex and the City” film: Long-awaited, the movie will finally come to US cinemas today, and the most burning question of its fans will be answered: Will Carry marry Mr Big? Get carried away, guys!

• Levi’s backflip: Sport is in. Not only did we get to see Kobe Bryant stunt-jumping over a pool full of living snakes, but these guys also amused us by jumping into a pair of Levi’s. Hats off!

• Pork and beans: The latest clip by Weezer brings back all the YouTube stars that we met in the South Park video: Numa Numa Guy, Afro Ninja, Leave Britney Alone, Chocolate Rain, Daft Hands…

• Facebook in real life: What would you do if people you haven’t met in decades started poking you and leaving messages on your front door? Hmm… reality can be scary sometimes.

• The exotic buzz of the month: Not a pleasant occasion, but an encouraging buzz. After the disastrous earthquake in China a wave of support rolled through the Chinese web. Bloggers adopted a banner to show their solidarity with the victims, and during 3 days of national mourning all major Chinese portals sites appeared in black and white. Ever wondered what patriotism meant?

Today and the “Sex and the City” movie will be officially launched in the UK, and on May 30 in the USA. Finally, as the fans of the hugely popular HBO series will probably say…

The adventures of the four New York fashion freaks Carry (Sarah Jessica Parker), Charlotte (Kristin Davis), Samantha (Kim Cattrall) and Miranda (Cynthia Nixon), stumbling through the metropolitan jungle in Manolo Blahniks, sipping Martini and experiencing all the ups and downs life has to offer when you have far too much money in your pocket and no essential worries at all, have fascinated viewers across the globe.

The film’s preview was a success. But why did it take place in London and not in New York? Bizarre decision… Anyway this is probably not the questions true fans of the series are keen to know the answer to, but: Will Carry finally marry Mr. Big (played by Chris Noth)? And who is going to die in the film? If you live in the UK you can find it out tonight. The others need a little more patience, but until then they can console themselves with the trailer:

I’m not sure that this is going to be the greatest film of all times, but as we all know: glamour and sex sell…
