Now that we're into award season I feel the need to start my own award. However, this award really isn't an honor at all. Matter of fact, anyone who "wins" this award ought to be ashamed of themselves. The award that I am creating and bestowing upon broads who need to stop the fashion madness is the Clear Heel Award (Butta 2005). The Clear Heel Award will go to those women who, for lack of a better way to put this, look mad hookerish at award shows, events, parties, et cetera.

The winner of the Clear Heel Award doesn't even get a shoe with a clear heel as a trophy. All they get is the heel, as shown above, because they really don't deserve more than that.

The first recipient of the Clear Heel Award is none other than 2005 Emmy Awards red carpet fashion faux pas, Tess Smith.

Who is Tess Smith? I'm still trying to figure that one out myself. I've seen her billed as a "screenwriter" in photo captions, but I can't find anything that she's written. (Why am I not surprised?) For the most part, the Emmys are a classy affair, but this chick dressed like she was going to the adult video awards. Granted, Jennifer Lopez, Toni Braxton, Lil Kim, and others have worn similar or even less clothing to award shows, but they can do that (to a certain extent at least) because they're stars and expected to push the fashion envelope. But this trick is a nobody, and she looks like a hot percolating mess.

And the funniest part of all: She actually has on clear heels. Priceless!

So congratulations, Tess Smith, on being the first recipient of the Clear Heel Award! You DON'T wear it well.
