A good pair of choose (SHOES)

I must admit I have taken my very last and purchased a good, cute pair of shoe's! At a young age I would walk around for hours in Nordstrom second floor, Walnut Creek Ca. and purchase the most adorable lime green leather flats with yellow lemons on the side. They weren't even name brand they just were $200 cute!  My Father would say, where in sam's hell are you going to wear those to and I would just point to all of  his custom alligator cowboy boots and he would start laughing. I guess I got it bad from my momma and my daddy! That was 15 or so years ago and I probably still would of had those delish flats but I now wear a 10 1/2, 11 and was a 9 1/2 then. Those were a good pair of shoes that would have taken a walk to China to wear out the sole? My mother has boots that she purchased from Joseph Magnin and Rocsils (Oakland) for 500 to 900 bucks and still have them to this day of course they were boutique but well worth it and she would get them re- heeled and re-soled. Try that shit with a pair of these 500 hundred dolla boots these days and you might as well throw $500 in the trash. Trust me ladies I have been super trendy and thank god that was a phase, an expensive phase (okay a very expensive phase).

Side Bar: I was talking with my brother about how and why he had 65 shoe boxes in his living room?  He replied im having my office cleaned out? UHHH those didn't come out of your room. Brother: Uhh, No! The young lady cleaning his office let out a, "this is a damn shame"! Needless to say me and my brother were confused at her outburst!  I personally was thinking, only 65 well that's not that bad. She was obviously thinking "assholes"! There is a point to this side bar, i'll get to it soon!

Back to our normal station! I want shoe's to be constructed well! I don't mind a four inch heel as long as in two weeks and three times of wear it doesn't look like a two inch heel! And by golly im not interested in surgery immediately after wearing a pair of shoe's. Which brings me to my next thought, im gonna share this one

     I realize that fashion for some is a diversionary tactic for lack of talent, but really. Babies and young women don't try this without crutches and good Cobra! I have dressed a many of celebrities and some shit we just AIN'T wearing!  Snow White, maybe?  Your last formal before they lay you to rest? Fantasy Island?
     Like I was saying a good pair of shoe's is hard to find, sometimes yes, for men and women!  A good shoe designer is hard to find, do they still have shoe cobblers? Good leather soles that last a couple of years on your fav's. Here are some of my haute rave's for spring and summer, (personally I talk about the fashions according to the here and now and right now it's spring, when we get to winter thats when we will talk about fall, thats all). So take a gander and enjoy my lovelies.
