Shoes? Bah I can't believe I'm saying this but

I'm in a shoe rut, I'm dried out shoe wise, it's temporary don't worry my lovelies. I know that it is my bank accounts way of ensuring I do not go shopping before NYC, though I have to say I saw this lovely convertable dress... anyways back to my shoes. I love shoes, I must not go all bi-polar on this issue too, *yogic breathing* I would have to say as much as I love pom poms and all that I love a good classic shoe, the kind Ms. Von Tesse pulls off. So in honor of her and the shoes (the red ones) I wish I had for an upcoming party I will be attending in an attempt to *cough* seduce *cough* someone, these:

Shoes, Shoes and More Shoes...

Shoes make me happy. They make me happy because feet always remain the same size, they do not cause muffins, VPL's or any unfortunately creasing. The right pair of pumps push up, bump out and make you walk and look well, like a woman, and is that so bad? Sure I will admit I've had my fair share of walking barefoot with pumps in hand(where's a guy to carry you when you need them), bleeding ankles (those shoes got donated after that night...) and lost toenails (the same pair I walked barefoot with - and I still own them, they're red peep toe stilettos I searched too long for them to give them up) amongst other tragedies... none so great though as being told by Dr. K that I had to choose, give up heels or running. It is the only thing I've ever fought with a doctor on, and it's even in the consult letter - don't worry we're still friends and I still baulk at him every time he says it.

Shoes though for two years of my life made sad, and they still do at times when I think about where they come from. I have to say I was a vegan, you can say whateveryouwant for me jumping ship. See the thing is I still really prefer not to buy animal products (or eat them) when it comes to my clothes. You will not see me in furs or leather or with a leather purse. But I do have leather shoes, primarily because I just can't afford Stella's shoes or Natalie's line. But we can look right? Above is a beautiful pair (peep toe, pompom and T-strap all on one shoe!!) from Natalie Portman's line available in Soho...

I am S&P and I am addicted to shoes... but just look at them!

So I think we've made it very clear that I have an issue/addiction/obsession with gorgeous shoes, and so on that note J has requested that I start posting all the shoes (generalized) that I would love to procure. Numero Uno on that list is these - the real McCoy, a pair of Louboutin platform, almond toe, animal print pumps. Why because I believe that these are possibly sexier than a pair of boots. I know that just about every man I know would disagree, and thus why I do own a pair of boots and not these shoes, yet. I will not be buying these shoes because, well there are many other to be purchased as well, but their lower end counterpart will not go unloved. I was trying explain this need for these shoes to J, that they represent a guaranteed sexy pick me up. These are for me the thing that a manicure, a pair of skinny jeans (Sex in the City - Miranda) or one of the numerous other weapons women hide in their repertoire for that special real date, I loathe my JLo day or I can't believe my barista didn't give me my regular free latte, my flirting mojo has lost me day. That and well most days I feel too Audrey for my liking and not enough Marilyn, maybe that rocks some men's boats and even women, but it doesn't do it for me and I hope these shoes do it for someone, as I need all the help I can get.

Wish List Part 2

I completely concur with Part 1 with these additions/hopes:

1. Try on a pair of Mahalo Blahniks and then have J pry them out of my cold, clammy with lust hands and usher me out of the store stat and then repeat in Louboutin - Why? Because I LOVE shoes and J could take me down long before I wrestle my MasterCard from her possession.

2. Vegan Soft Serve - Honestly I believe it's a myth, like Puff the Magic Dragon and 1/2 price Dior, after years of reading of the wonders of Brooklyn and NYC's Vegan Food I need to get my tofu binge on.

3. Perch myself on some high end bar stool and attempt to not fall off in fright if I get talked to - a free drink would be such a coup J wouldn't it? Because well I don't have the kind of cash I need to support my martini habit in NYC.

4. My vote for the NYC Concert is way in the boonies - Ryan Montbleau - but hey if we can see Ray if he's over there then bring it on.
