Dreaming of shoes

[clevermanka]

Am I a hopeless dweeb/anti-fashionista for wanting a pair of these in red? And, maybe, pink? Is it more acceptable that I'm salivating over these, too?

Whoa, news flash here, folks: Young men who feel good about their looks are more likely than their peers with a less positive body image to engage in risky sexual behavior. It pains me that people get money to fund these studies. What the hell. Seriously. What the hell. To quote gmskarka: In other news, Water Still Wet. *headdesk*

My allergies are driving me crazy. Either that or I'm coming down with a cold. Enormous sinus pressure and a fairly constant drip. Burning eyes and general tiredness. Ugh. Misery. And I have a meeting tomorrow morning for which I must take minutes. I despise taking minutes.

I think I'll go back to shoe-shopping fantasies now. Ah, yes, come to me, my lovelies.

No - think you'd make any pair of shoes cool.

I feel your pain.

Feel better tomorrow and hand them a dictaphone to take their minutes ;)

mmm...shoes....

Love the wedges... would love to wear the wedges.

As for the moccasins? Well, they would be fun with jeans. And, that's all I can say, the whole "my momma told me" thing.

*wipes drool from chin* Nope, nothing wrong with your taste. I wants the purple ones.....

I think the mocs would look absolutely darling with a cowboy and indians cotton print skirt, or some of my pinup cowgirls fabric. Darling!

I hope we didn't get you sick last week when we came to get zerself's pants hemmed. It sounds like the ick we've all had here for a week. I'm terribly sorry, if that is indeed the case.

I think it's just allergies, honestly. I don't feel sick, just sorta "eh" with burning eyes and stuffy nose. Typical allergy crap. Just worse than normal.

[closer-to-fine.livejournal.com]

I have much sympathy for you, dear. I have never really had seasonal allergies, but I see what zerself goes through every year and consider myself lucky.

Speaking of new shoes, I'm wearing my new Steve Madden brown two-tone shoes today. It's nice to have a decent discount shoe store relatively close by.

I like the shoes! =) They are cute and look comfy.
I discovered the wonderful world of landsend all weather mocs last year. They come in about a million colors. I have a pair of ruby red ones and a pair of teal ones.
I also have a pair of powder blue winter boots from landsend.
Don't you know with all the wierd clothing and shoes that the kids wear at college...what do they stare at? Yes...my shoes. ha!

The prices! OW, my eyes!
Oh, but the mocs... the boots, *dies* of the purple:

Okay, so the sinus/headache thing seems to have gotten several of us in its hideous maw. Why, oh why on a Monday/Tuesday?

..edit:

speaking of Dweebie, where tha fuck was my head when I commented to you here?
I sound like a squeeling fangirl at a Bay City Rollers concert.

[clevermanka.livejournal.com]

Oh someone on MySpace...

*ow!*

:raspberries and waggles hands at side of head in your general direction:

there.
Now I sound more like a fangeek.

Re: I dare to differ...

Yes yes I know, they're hopelessly dweebie by modern standards, but they do have rockabilly street cred.

*sigh* Not that it matters, anyway. I'm in current Not Buy Shoes Or Really Much Of Anything mode.

Your first shoe shopping choice is giving me flashbacks to my mother's seventies-era closet, when her collection of beaded moccasins was "teh coolest thing evar" to me.
