On the up: Shoes!
On the down: Not finding your size

Recently, I've rediscovered my horrible obsession with shoes. I can't let myself step into Aldo anymore because each time I do, another RM300 vanishes out of my bank account. The girls there even know me now since I do loans there quite often, and always seem to end up buying while doing work.

Look at the all the FabulousFantasticShoooooooooooes they have!






I heard/read/imagined out of nowhere that shoes are some sort of phallic replacement, so women who are obsessed with shoes are actually obsessed with the phallus. Like, okay, whatever. Sometimes even raging nazi-feminist me thinks these feminists have too much time on their hands to think up all this shit.

What totally irritates is that I have enormous feet and they never, ever have my size so either I suck it up and squeeze my toes into a 39, or I'm stuck with wearing ugly Factory Outley flipflops for the rest of my life.

Went shopping with Lannie today, on a Sunday-afternoon Girlie Day Out.... and saw The Most Delicious Pair of Chocolate Shoes. Yum! I mean, really, what could get better than this? SHOES and CHOCOLATE in a delightful pairing!


They even had my size, but they completely squished my right toes and were too expensive so I did that zen non-attachment thing and Let Them Go.... for the time being. I told myself that if they're still there at the end of the week, I'll buy them.
so
so
so
so
so
wanted


But.
They didn't have my size.
They didn't have it in any of the other Vincci outlets.
And they weren't ever going to order any more in.

So tragic and sad and Incredibly Pissing-Offing.

But I was absolutely determined to buy chocolate-coloured shoes. And when I get determined about shopping, I usually get my way (gee, why can't I seem to get that determination for anything else)
