Dispatches from a second story bedroom

Julian's shoe game in Less Than Zero is second to none. I know that leather sandals are really frightening for your average man, but this is so Antibes in the 20s incredible, you cannot deny it.

VENA CAVA X TEN OVER 6 

I've been fiending for this shoe collaboration since last September and have burnt myself out in anticipation. I understand from both sides now since I haven't felt like sharing my share-y share share's worth around here either. (Winter bummers, what can I say?) I never promised you a rose garden, I made no allusions about content. I'm not a machine y'know. I'm still scouring the dinnernet for my fash-wins but I've gone stealth mostly, in terms of output. Sometimes a girl's gotta incubate. 

I'm sort of over these since they're old news and still not available. Don't post on the 1st that they'll be out within the week/in store and not have anything to show by the 7th. Just sayin', that's bad business babe, I don't care who you're married to. They're still sending off gorgeous 70s art teacher vibes and I want, but in a more attenuated form of that former want I had back in September of 2010AD. It leads me to believe I will never own them because, no one wants Paul Newman in The Verdict, they want Paul Newman in The Young Philadelphians. What? Did I just blow your mind a little with my moment of truth act break? Deal with it. Things just got very real up in hurr.

I am generally against the wearing of white shoes. I've been working on a little immersion therapy to help me deal.

take the time, do it right.

I'm sure that reading gawker is like eating right before bed but how else would I come across stuff like this?

I am imagining not gold platform Beckham pumps for the win. Even though I'm not super jazzed by her shoe selection I feel like this is her true self and not all the studs and vinyl and shoulder pads? I get that she's in show business and studs and buckles are to Rihanna, what sequins were to every Bob Mackied starlet ever. 

WHAAAAT? Marilyn McCoo and Andy Gibb pre-Gimme a Break! guest spot/MI via OD must be freaked the fuck out? I like that Wendy is holding her own against Madame and Madame isn't being her regular cunty self. I can't believe middle America was interested in W.O.W. ever. I can't guarantee that I saw this performance but I sure did love Solid Gold. If my little brains did see this I am sure it must have informed my earliest nightmares. SO THANKS AMERICAN BROADCASTING COMPANY.

I'm not sure what the thread between these two things was in my head, I just took a couple of benadryls. Maybe my point was studs, buckles and leather mommy shit is as old as sequins? Know yer role? I dunno, she obviously looks bangin' in color and needs to keep it up instead of trying to wear thigh high patent leather boots because she's getting to Beyoncé levels of fame and flesh toned performance pantyhose under said boots looks ridiculous. Leave the leather to the professionals like Wendy.

It's really satisfying to be out in the cold and to have warm feet. I am always looking for shearling shoes that are not gross and bulky and embarrassingly Ugg-like. I have not found them yet. I can't understand why shoemakers don't totally bomb the UGG monopoly. I feel like this is my crazy secret shoe confession. Why aren't there more shearling booties? Am I the only one asking the universe for this?

 

Why are these so expensive? I feel like I need to sleep on this. Am I just not thinking straight? These are like little Spanish botíns. Warm little boots. That just sounds nice doesn't it?
