Matisse Sheena’s Weekly Rant – Celebutard Inspired Footwear
by JULIA
Hahaha….Great way to launch into Monday. I needed to come up with a good topic for Sheena and with all the silly press around Lindsey Lohan, I couldn’t resist. lol Thanks for making me laugh Sheena! :) The disclaimer reads: “Sheena’s Weekly Rant is meant for entertainment purposes only and does not necessarily reflect the opinion of all Shoebizness contributors.

Tony Hsieh’s NYC Book Launch
by JULIA
Congrats Sheena! First off I would like to say that I am not the best event journalist or photographer…actually I am pretty terrible. haha. I think I get caught up having fun and forget to do my job, so please forgive me. Last night was the launch party for Zappos CEO, Tony Hsieh’s new book, Delivering Happiness…I wasn’t even sure I was going to make it, but when my good friend and sometime…
Matisse Sheena’s Weekly Rant: My Pet Peeve
by Matisse Sheena
I thought I was asking for it when I gave Sheena this topic, but it turns out that I totally agree with her and I must say that this is also my biggest pet peeve! People need to learn to love what they do and love their life or do something different. I know it is easier said than done, but if I can do it, so can anyone else!! I talk to people all the time who just don’t want to do what they are doing, but won’t make the chan…
Matisse Sheena’s Weekly Rant – CHRISTIAN LOUBOUTIN – WHAT THE F@$%*??
by Matisse Sheena
Wackadoodle!!! When Sheena told me that she wanted to write about the Christian Louboutin article featured in Vanity Fair magazine this week, I had not read it yet. She said it was controversial, which for Sheena to say meant it must be good, er uh well bad. Well as I was traveling this week (sorry for the hiatus from writing during this time) I decided to pick up a copy in the Miami airport heading back to NYC and let me t…
Sheena’s Weekly Rant: Male Reps Vs Female Reps
by Matisse Sheena
Sheena at FNPlatform – Working hard! Oh snap! I knew I was asking for it when I gave Sheena this topic and she did not disappoint! That’s all I am going to say on this one! Happy Friday!

Weekend Wrap-up
by Richard Salmon
This has been an interesting week here at Shoebizness.com! A lot of big things on the horizon and big moves in process. Here is the week in review....
1 year anniversery!! Let’s celebrate this week!
by JULIA
A bottle of Champagne from on a dress I made! haha Seems appropriate for our Happy Anniversary! Wow, I really cannot believe it has already been one year since the launch of shoebizness.com. I remember walking the floor at WSA last year attempting to explain to people what my little site is all about. Honestly, at the time I didn’t even really know yet, but I knew I was on to something! At WSA I met Sheena and then in…
Matisse Footwear!!
by JULIA
Matisse Footwear!! One of the first brands Julia took me to visit was Matisse Footwear because she is obviously good friends with them and I can see why! It was a pleasure meeting Michael Katz, Sheena Parks and Chris Ryan from Matisse Footwear at my first FFANY trade show. Such a harmonic group! Matisse and the diffusion Coconut line are well known for high quality product and a fun style. Basically it’s a perfect com…
BALANCING HOME LIFE AND WORK LIFE, THE IMPOSSIBLE CHALLENGE
by Matisse Sheena
Go Sheena! I am not quite sure why I opened up this can of worms, but I am sure there are a lot of you out there that can relate! I hear all the time about how the crazy schedule of all you shoe people can be quite brutal, but hopefully it’s worth it. I am sure for Sheena it will be because she is a rock star and is going to do so many amazing things in her career! I just know it!! Now, all of you who are getting ready for another tr…
Sheena’s (supposed to be) Weekly Rant – FFANY and the Fallen Enemy
by Matisse Sheena
Yay – Sheena’s back! We had a great time in NYC hanging out….thanks to her boss I learned that my knee has great reflexes. haha So yet again, another brand is talking about MAGIC over WSA….hmmmm….seems to be a big trend! I hate to say it but I think WSA made a big mistake and opened the door for MAGIC to step in and provide the necessary elements to make a great trade show for everyone! I don…
Matisse Sheena’s Weekly Rant, Sheena Interrupted
by Matisse Sheena
Sorry we are a day late….hopefully you remember my apology. Last week when we were pondering what Sheena’s topic would be, she mentioned something about being a crazy person, which made me think of the movie Girl Interrupted. I personally think she is more like Angelina Jolie’s character, but don’t tell her I said that! lol Anyways, we are all crazy….some of us just hide it better a…
Matisse Sheena’s Weekly Rant – Home Shopping and Beyond
by Matisse Sheena
It seems we have a home shopping theme this week! Who knew Sheena would be the next up and coming home shopping TV personality?!? She really is great at it! I on the other hand would be horrible at selling anything on camera. I think it’s important to be confident about what you are good at AND what you suck at and I suck at doing anything on camera. I don’t know what it is, but I just freeze up and get weird. haha …
Matisse Sheena’s Weekly Rant – The Nothing
by Matisse Sheena
Yay! Sheena’s back this week!! I know fall is a busy time for my writers so I am very forgiving when they miss a week, but I do miss them! But the good news about them being busy is that they have fun stuff to write about. Sheena has some good stuff coming up for us in the next few weeks and I am excited about it! As for today’s rant….she is taking it to the showroom. She does have a leg to stand on here since this…
Matisse Sheena’s Weekly Rant-The Bitter Buyer; A Closer Look
by Matisse Sheena
I knew I was asking for it this week when I told Sheena that we needed to spice up her rants a little bit. I have been giving her topics that have made her be a little too nice which I know she is not totally comfortable with. My question to her this week was…”what has been irritating you about the industry?” I knew better! lol Now, You all know I am all about being positive and what I LOVE about Sheena is tha…
My Favorite Buyer
by JULIA
Poor Sheena has been sick all week and she still managed to write a little something about her favorite buyer this week. I think her status on facebook stated she was sick since Tuesday, so I hope she gets better soon! Oh facebook….the ways it lets you know about what’s going on in people’s lives is priceless! I made her write about her favorite buyer, even though I knew it would be easier for her to wri…
