So… I totally can't post pictures of the pink one that does the thingie while doing the thingie as it's still sitting out in Peter's truck neatly tucked into its very own discreet little bag. And, yes, it's still broken.
However, I thought I'd show off my nifty new shoes.
Believe it or not, they are the first shoes with actual laces that I've bought in over a decade. (There's that pair of dominatrix heels that lace up the calf, of course. But If I can't wear them to parent/teacher conferences, they don't count.)
But who could resist?
Oh! And this picture actually has a second subtitle that reads, "OR Maybe they won't notice the swollen ankles if I dazzle them with my rudimentary Photoshop skills."
So don't, okay?

Sunday, 13 April, 2008 at 21:23K, your photoshop skills are way sharper than mine! Especially since I don't have it. Love those kicks!

Sunday, 13 April, 2008 at 22:04Ah, but my new PAIR of shoes can kick your bare LEFT foot's ass… *ahem* do feet have asses? Do shoes? Okay, this is getting a little out of hand. (Out of foot?) Obviously I need to get some sleep, as I'm not making any sense. So here:
Red = good
Converse = good
Therefore: I love your shoes.

Monday, 14 April, 2008 at 8:22We need new shoes…we looked everywhere while we were on vacation and it seems that TN sports stores don't like Adidas (I LOVE Adidas)…so I hope that I can find them here.
Are those Converse lowtops? LOL For some reason I thought they stopped making the old canvas Converse!

Tuesday, 15 April, 2008 at 10:38I love the shoes. I just bought my own pair last week, after almost 20 years. My husband gave me a weird look and said those are the craziest shoes he's ever seen me wear. I told him that's because he's only known me for 9 years. What's so crazy about them anyway??? He's so conservative. ;)

I did get a new pair of Converse last month…black sequins, yeah, they rock!

I am a big wuss. I don't have coloured sneakers. I go for either white, black or brown .. ;P

Thursday, 17 April, 2008 at 11:29Ahhh you're bringing me back with those converse. Oh the days when I would wear them all day and not think once about the complete lack of cushion-ness under my feet.
Nice pic!

Thursday, 17 April, 2008 at 22:15I just can't get excited about Converse. Give me a pair of Mary Janes and a pair of funky knee socks, and THEN we're talking!

Saturday, 19 April, 2008 at 8:10I so want those shoes! At what I wonder, should I stop wearing Converse or my army boots? And am I too old for those straight-leg jeans? I'm so confused.

Saturday, 19 April, 2008 at 8:12I guess there's a reason for the 'preview' button. I omitted the word AGE in the above comment. Not that anyone cared, but: At what AGE should I stop dressing like my daughter…
