Last night, in an attempt to get shoe month going how I wanted, I became a follower of Messrs Choo, Blahnik and Louboutin on Twitter. I figured they might follow me back and stumble onto shoe month. So far… nuthin’. But in case you ever read this, Jimmy, Manolo or Christian (can I call you […]
Shoes and punishment
When I was little, my mum used to threaten me with ‘the slipper of pain’ when I was naughty. I think I only copped the slipper a couple of times (this was pre-Anti-Smacking-Bill, when beating your children was still legal), but the memory of the sting and humiliation kept me in check till I was… Heck! Till now […]
My lovely assistant…
Check out my tan boots, photographed from the feature angle (i.e. from behind) by my lovely assistant Hannah. What I really should do is put up a pic of my lovely assistant Hannah – she’s very cute – but she’s gone home for the day, and I’m pretty sure it’s good etiquette to ask before you […]
Do my feet look fat in these?
After my near-naked trapse on the internet in my jandals yesterday (surely the foot equivalent of appearing in a thong), I felt the need to cover up today – hence the red ankle boots under conservative pants. The pedal nudity worked however. Wow! Up to 177 twitter followers today. 65 of them are diet gurus. 80 are […]
It’s my thing. Let it go.
Today I’m heading out for a pedicure, so I’m wearing my jandals, even though it’s freezing outside. Of course, during this time of the year, no-one sees my feet, so why get a pedicure? Well, aside from the impetus to wear every pair of shoes I own for shoe month, it makes me feel good. […]
A date with my gay ex.
Last night my gay ex boyfriend Mark* took me out for dinner and a movie. It’s always a dilemma what to wear when one goes out with one’s gay ex. On the one hand, Mark is always well groomed and wildly attractive to both men and women, so I don’t want him showing me up. […]
Please don’t leave me foot fetish guy!
YAY! Today I got my first foot fetish follower on Twitter! At last, shoe month is succeeding! Come out of the woodwork all ye weird-ass fetishists. I want the blog posts, key words, status updates and tweets to work. Sadly, my FFF will be woefully disappointed with the tatty yellow sneakers I’m wearing today. So sorry – it’s casual […]
Shoe month, yes men and Jesus…
Check out my red Mary Janes. Comfy, cute, and, as it happens, conversation starters. This morning while waiting for the lift, a lady complimented my shoes, telling me she had a similar pair… that were blue …and wedge heeled …and not Mary Janes (so not that similar at all really…), that her […]
My younger amour…
Today I have on my F***-me boots. I wasn’t going to call them that, but Madge greeted me this morning with ‘I see you’re wearing your…’ (thanks Madge). But, now that you mention it… Anyway, I wore the boots in honour of my car. I got these boots and my car in […]
The optimist sees the donut, the pessimist, the hole. – Oscar Wilde
Check out the studded wooden wedges I’m wearing today. I bought these shoes because I like the hole in the middle of the heel. It makes something quite solid and clunky look very elegant. Unfortunately, I can’t say it makes my shoes any easier to walk in. These shoes are made for standing in […]
