Fashion Where You Least Expect It


Recently I was thumbing through "In Style Magazine" when I spied a pair of rather saucy gladiator/bondage sandals for Spring. They had four inch heels and hardware and that certain je ne sais quois that made me gasp with delight. I lusted for them and then I actually read the small print. This rather elaborate footwear could be found at (wait for it) Payless Shoe Source. Seriously?!

Yes, seriously.

I was running some errands in the hood today and the weather was so comely that I actually raised my head and looked at the world around me. I passed a Payless Shoe Source and then stopped. Could those shoes that looked so delicious in the stylized pages of a glossy magazine look as good in person?

Yes, apparently so. They were suede and well crafted and I must admit, reasonably comfortable for a four inch stiletto.

$29.95 later, I tried them on again when I got home. And I saw a look in Fang's eye that I haven't seen for quite some time. I reckon these were worth every penny.

And they'll look good with Spring fashion too.

OMG! I just love wearing sexy shoes. It takes the focus off my smaller-than-average boobs and larger -than-life ass. Yes, gorgeous feet are the way to go.

Those are gorgeous! Too bad my feet start to hurt after an hour. I went out last weekend with my mom and her friends, and snuck on a pair of some black-snake-skinned heels, that I just loved, of hers. Normally we share the same size shoe, but she had bought these in a 8 1/2, just a little bit larger than normal. BIG mistake...

The shoes could be the beginning of a whole new look. Just add a garter belt, fish net stockings , a whip !! Oh the possibilities are endless !! Don't let this opportunity pass you by.

Kenz, darling--do I have to come to Nebraska? I will, you know, if you can't get the "dry" tissue paper trick. It's just cuz I care, you know.

And Bluesy--you are such a nasty girl. Saucy thing! Which is why I like you so much.
