Love At First Sight.


I met an Englishman,
"Oh" he said "Won't you walk up and down my spine,
It makes me feel strangely alive."
I said "In these shoes? I doubt you'd survive."
I said "Honey, let's do it. Let's stay right here."*
.
.
Had a trip to the cinema this afternoon to see The Notorious Bettie Page (it's very good).
Afterwards I went for a wander around the shops where I espied these magnificent chaussures. Aren't they just lovely? It really was love at first sight.
I wanted them.
I had to have them.
I can walk in them too (just about).
I think they're rather Bettie Page-esque.
Altogether I'd say that it's been a very successful day.

They are very foxy. I wish you well to wear them, as my mum would say. (This post made me laugh because after seeing Betty Page I was inspired to go and buy some underwear. I'm not sure this is the effect intended by the film-makers after seeing the film.)

Heathster:

Good call on the shoes. In a word: PHWOAR!

Betty Page flick? Saw it NYC earlier this year and I felt it didn't really go anywhere - great though Gretchen Mollster is in the titular role....


As for Kirsty M. - What can I say??

Very nice shoes H. Have you got the fab slinky red dress to go with them or is that next on your shopping list

Oh Heather, they're gorgeous! Peep-toes? You must have red, or black painted toenails to match.

And my second favourite Kirstie McColl song as well:-) "In these shoes"? "I don't think so...":-)

Nice shoes there Heather. :)

(Gretchen Mollster is an excellent name, why have I not heard of her?)

Those shoes are fabulous. I want them too. And the name...well you know how I feel about Mollster!!

I bet(tie) those shoes were expensive. I reckon sixty quid?? If they were cheap...let me know where you got them!!
