Get Out Your Pillows - Prepare to Yawn

Published by Ree at 3:53 pm under Fashion, The Blog Itself

I’m coveting red shoes. I don’t know why. I only wear black or brown shoes. It’s just me. My size 10 feet need no further “enhancing”. It would be like Pamela Anderson wearing a padded bra. I mean, why? They’re there. Obviously. Do I need flashing lights?
But, for some reason, I really want a pair of red patent shoes. Specifically these red patent shoes:

Circa Joan and David - Cecilia

Unfortunately, they would sit in their box. Like the black and white herringbone round-toed pumps that I had to have. That hurt. so. bad. Every time I put them on, thinking “today’s the day these babies come outta the closet, oh baby, sexy, sexy, sexy”, I take two steps, then crumple to the floor. Because walking? Ce n’est pas possible. (And yes, that’s the only French I remember, so don’t ask for any more!)

But I do have $30 in Kohl’s gift cards and a 15% off an entire day of shopping because I’m an MVC. (They said it’s Most Valued Customer. I think it’s Must Visit Constantly.) So, I’m thinking I may have to pick up these:

and maybe these:
Because they are beautiful. And those boots? 4-inch heel. Oh man. We’re pushing the 6′2″ level there. Happy sigh. There are several new people of the male persuasion that I have to deal with now and some of them still think that the smiling Hotfessional can be steered away from her beliefs. Gently, to be sure, but steered away nonetheless. Six-foot-two adds a new factor to the equation when dealing with some people. [Snort!]


And:

Visit NaBloPoMo

Oh I love that line. “That’s all you have to do.” Ha!

Yes, I will be participating in National Blog Posting Month for 2007 - a promise to post every day for the 30 days of November. Which hasn’t really been a problem for me since I usually have a steady stream of rants that spill out of my fingers on a daily basis. However, as soon as I clicked “Sign Up”, I immediately, simultaneously, went into a complete writer’s block. (Um, I’m not a writer. So, I guess it really means I am suffering from “not-a-writer’s” block.) Gawd, even my jokes are getting lamer and lamer the closer to November 1st I get.

If you decide to put yourself through this torture join in on the fun, remember to add me to your friends list. I’m registered as “Hotfessional”. We can commiserate about not-a-writer’s block together.

—- And I’ll take any suggestions on post topics that you want to send my way. Because otherwise, I can’t be held responsible for the number of “deaths by boredom” I cause. —-

    Can’t you just print out a picture of those very pretty (double sigh) red shoes and hang it on your frig?

    Love the shoes..all of them, but especially the red ones!! I love red shoes and these are to die for!!

    Good luck with Nablopomo…I was going to do it but I’m out of town on the 29th and 30th and will have no access to a computer… :(

    *sigh* SHOES. Love shoes.

    I’m so glad you’re doing NaBlo.. another awesome blog to stalk!

    Ok, to help you with your writer’s block and to ensure that I have an entertaining month of November, here are the topics I’m expecting you to write about:

    Possums
    Spleens
    Feet
    Public Bathrooms
    Chocolate
    Neighbors
    Relatives
    Dogs
    Beets
    Noses
    At our house, we….
    Wifely duties
    That kid did WHAT?!
    The weirdest food you ever ate
    The one creature you’re most terrified of….
    Things that crawl
    Pet peeves
    The things I found under the couch cushions…18
    Your most embarassing moment
    A boy you loved in school
    It’s funny when people trip
    What you wanted to be when you grew up
    THAT outfit you wore

    You have to write your entire entry on the given topic. You may NOT try and cram them all into one entry as you’re prone to do. ;P That only leaves you with one week of topics you have to come up with on your own. You can do that easy. Start with the possum. :D

    oops. Sorry. didn’t mean to put 18 after thinfs I found under the couch cushions. I was trying to keep track of how many topics I had at that point.

    Ok, as a gal who also wears a sz. 10 shoe, you know what - get the shoes. Who cares what they think about your feet - remember, Paris Hilton’s feet are way bigger AND, if they hurt - thou must have them stretched (or stick your full foot/shoe in the water - hence why you will see a floridan dunk a new shoe in the pool on their way out to work).

    I’ll be doing Nablopomo - don’t know how I’m going to muster everything during this month of hell but eeehhhh

    ha! I usually have too much to blog about and not enough time to blog!

    I WORSHIP those red shoes!

    I’m doing NaBlo too and have no idea what I’ll be saying every day.

  9. L Sasson 30 Oct 2007 at 12:14 am

    I really love the second pair–totally cute and yet uber practical!! Perfect for work.

  10. imhelendton 30 Oct 2007 at 12:50 am

    I’ve decided to turn your dilemna into a contest. :)

  11. dawn224on 30 Oct 2007 at 1:17 am

    I love those red shoes.

    How do you picture Shortman in 10 years?

  12. Sittingon 30 Oct 2007 at 2:38 am

    those red shoes are bee-you-tee-ful. I’m not much of a shoe girl, but I do love red. The 4 inch heels are another matter.

  13. Sueon 30 Oct 2007 at 2:53 am

    I can never find anything at Kohls but Grandma clothes. And yet tons of fashionable people I know shop there. It does not compute.

  14. Marieon 30 Oct 2007 at 3:22 pm

    Those shoes have me wishing I had married a taller man. I can’t be going all Nicole Kidman on him and giving him a complex. It’s flats for me, and I’m only 5′4″.

  15. heelson 30 Oct 2007 at 4:08 pm

    I just have one point to make here:

    BUY.RED.SHOES.

    Just DO IT already. It really may change your (wardrobe) life. No joke.

    And, as someone who managed a shoe boutique for years, I’ll let you in on a secret- if a shoe is well made, it will look adorable and wee in EVERY SIZE and EVERY COLOR. It’s the shoe, not the size, that makes the difference. I’ve seen women in size 13s rock the red shoes and they don’t look like clown feet.

    I PROMISE.

  16. Lelaon 30 Oct 2007 at 10:23 pm

    Um, the red ones remind me of Dorothy. Only grown up. And the black and brown ones are slick and spiffy, :o)
    As if you wanted my opinion, lol!

  17. Piscesmama + Oneon 31 Oct 2007 at 3:42 pm

    Best Shoes ever! Too bad my podunk town only has rip-offs.
    :)

  18. The Hotfessionalon 01 Nov 2007 at 12:24 pm

    Ack - I just realized with all my “poor little me I can’t talk” crap and crud, I never answered you all.

    Okay, verdict on the red shoes - if I can find them, and they’re comfortable (I NEVER buy shoes online), then I will. Because sometimes you have to just say “fuck it” and go outside your comfort zone.

    And of course, NaBloPoMo - Helen, thanks for the ideas. I look forward to participating with all y’all who are doing this.
