Ain't Chicken

This is a confession.

I have an addiction. An undeniable attraction to something which could, if I allowed it to, have a devestating and draining effect on my finances and mental health. Something which I've been physically drawn to since puberty, something for which they make no Methadone.

No, it's not chocolate. Well I guess it could be, especially in its most perfect form, FROSTING, but it's worse than that.

It's the perfect combination of two of my favorite things in the world:

Suede.

and...

Green.

GREEN SUEDE PUMPS.

I dare the world's psychiatric community to explain it. My mother didn't own a pair, and I was never sexually abused by a crossdesser wearing a pair. I did once have a man remove one from my right foot and drink champagne out of it, but I was well into my grrensuedeproblem by then, and we were both awful drunk at the time.

Aaaaaaaanyway, I just saw THESE on the brillant Manolo's site. Aren't they the quintessence of EXQUISITE? They're calling to me.



And WOW! What a bargain! ONLY $400! I'm gonna go puke now.

    charles: I don't think suede shoes work on men the same way they work on women. Sorry. But you can enjoy them at home! With a glass of red wine and a labrador. Maybe it's a doctor thing. My beloved MD told me once "take off your blouse" and I just looked at him sadly. I said "This is a sweater." Yeah, he likes me. Really.


    Becca: It's a syndrome. You've described my symptoms exactly. Why haven't you posted in forever?

    cadm: I'm so cheap I'm proud to say my wedding gown cost $200 LESS than these shoes. And it was my princess poofy dream gown.

I can't help it if people from Rhode Island or Idaho don't get the Texas thing.
