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 […]
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 […]
A good deed never goes unpunished. – Gore Vidal
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 […]
…but it’s good for you…
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 […]
