Shuesday: The Second Deadly Sin
So Midwest Medved was strolling through the mall, ostensibly on his way to purchase shorts for his 5 year old, and low and behold, he accidentally stumbled into the men's shoe department at Neiman Marcus and suddenly became the proud owner of a pair of Ferragamo loafers. The Grinch, the Wicked Witch of the West, and the Great Gazoo had nothing on me colour-wise.
Ladies, I realize this isn't going to do anything for you (other than to make you wonder where you can find a guy with such great taste in shoes), but the fact that I actually know someone who owns a pair of shoes in this particular plane is very, very empowering. By which I mean it raises the upper limit of what I'm willing to pay for a pair. He claims they're comfortable enough to run in - of course one would never subject them to such treatment - which is not something I'd be prepared to say of ... almost any of my shoes, owned or coveted.

For the record, I'm getting a ton of off-the-record comments about these shoes (which is better than getting comments about my friends). Step up, people!

I'm just saying...yeah, they're nice, but for that money, you could join the KEXP 500 Club (AND you're donating to a good cause!) AND buy a ton of cds.

Maybe you're already making charitable donations (starving children, civil liberties, etc.), and your CD collection's in good shape. Any reason you shouldn't also be well-shod?

Not at all - that's just the reason *I* won't be buying $700 shoes.

Just to clarify, I don't have a free $700 to spend on anything, so this is all wishful thinking/jealousy on my part! :)

Me neither, especially after my March vet bill. Damn cat.
