Ms. Tamara Mellon, the 40-somethum, single-mom of a 7 year-old daughter and founder of Jimmy Choo shoes, has what most would call a, "fairy-tale" life. Well...uh, if you consider the sudden death of her father, an almost successful corporate take-over and a lawsuit involving her rumored jealous and fading looks of an aging ex-model for the House of Chanel mother, suing her for millions of mistakenly placed stock, is your idea of a fairy-tale life...then hell yeah! But for those that like less drama filled days and peaceful, loving brunches with Mom on Mother's day-then not so much!
In addition, she's beautiful, rich and her Facebook friends page, reads like a glamorous fashion magazine; filled with the hottest starlets, movie moguls and very rich men! Oh and the men-Christian Slater, Kid Rock and the infamous Joe Francis (yes, the guy who founded Girls Gone Wild) to name a few! Allegedly she's been involved with them all. Ranging from brief flings to an 18-month stint with Mr. Slater.
Thank God she has better taste in shoes than men!
Having said all this-I feel for her. I guess because I can relate to (certain aspects ) of her story. We both adore shoes. And I especially can relate to dating rich, hot, dysfunctional, yet so-damn-wrong-for-you men!
