Christian Louboutin, the famous shoe designer, has a house in Luxor, on the west bank, in the Valley of the kings. His closest neighbor is Ramses III, or rather his mortuary temple Medinet Abu. In this part of Egypt, everything and everybody are of an arresting beauty. In the very heart of immortality, there is no space for mediocrity. Chez Christian Louboutin, Luxor. Part 1

Yes indeed! Great boy prophile, nice textures, gorgeous colours, and the boot of course... Louboutin´s mesh, i suppose, with the classic red beneath. And by the way i haven't miss the handsome male servants that our gentle hosts possess. Ivan, i can´t get enough of you, these photos are pure Art ;-)

Egypt was extraordinary. The Louboutin bit could have been better. The man is somehow disappointing and to make matters worse I was traveling with a journalist and a "stylist" who behaved pretty poorly. But then again discovering Egypt was priceless. So, Yes ! it was a treat ( with traitors).
