got me some shoes!!!

first, a huge thank you to my mom, who has spent quite a bit of time on the phone with me helping me make fun of most of the "fashionable" footwear available online. we have developed a unique system of communicating which ass-ugly pump we are actually referring to on our respective computers while we view the various galleries and make these comments.

second, i would like to thank e$, who said "yesyesyes" before i even enlarged the image of THE SHOE while i was hemming and hawing and asking her to weigh in before i bought it. i mean, i buy things. sometimes i like shopping. i can order stuff online, if it's from the gap or old navy and it's something where i know my size in that manufacturer and in that fabric. and cut. ok, so i don't like to order things online that are meant for wearing, generally. because i am a huge tightwad and i like things JUST SO and i don't really believe in returning merchandise unless it is damaged or defective. the "i changed my mind" or "i bought it and it doesn't fit" aren't really in my lexicon. maybe the wrong one of my X chromosomes got silenced, who can say for sure. but e$ is a power shopper and broke it down like this: "dude there's free overnight shipping. dude there's free return shipping. fucking buy it already!" and i thank her for this insight.

i also thank endless.com for having a lot of awesome shoes and things at some reasonable prices.

without further ado (and this makes me think of all the people who write "adoo" or "adieu" in this phrase because they are stupid and incapable of using english), THE SHOES:



fuck yes, my friends. when they arrived yesterday, they were light and comfortable on my end of day, bloated pms feet. i wore them for over an hour as i lounged on the couch in my pajamas and bathrobe. i did not go fetch my laundry in this attire, however, as my neighbors already think i'm weird and i didn't need to hand them any fodder to support this suspicion.
