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 […]

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 […]

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 […]

   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 […]

Today I’m wearing high-heeled snakeskin pumps. No snakes were harmed in the making of these shoes. Actually, that’s a bald-faced lie. I suppose the snakes whose skins were used for my pumps might have been a little harmed. But as the shoes were made in China, I’m pretty sure the snakes didn’t die just to […]

Today I went back to the gym (see my gym shoes?)  I have not been to the gym for six weeks because of [insert excuse here].  Go ahead, insert one.  I guarantee I’ve already thought of it and used if on my gym instructor, my friends, myself.  The truth is, I hate exercise.  All exercise […]

…to ceaseless din and mindless merriment and waste of shoes and floors…

Today’s shoes are silver Minx sneakers (pictured).  I love these sneakers and I admit that I bought them because they are cool.  However, I still expected them to perform like… well…  sneakers.  They do not.          The first time I wore these sneakers I wore a hole in the back of the […]

These boots are made for _ _ _ king* (complete as desired)

I have just taken possession of an outrageous pair of boots from Ultra Shoes.  It took me six weeks to pay for these boots.  They were expensive.  I don’t mean obscenely expensive – as in equal to the GDP of a small third-world country, but the price I paid could have fed a child in […]
