I Can Be (Semi) Practical When Forced Into It
I have a major cyber crush on this woman right here. She’s an amazing writer and all around fantastic, multi-tasking bi-ped. Take my word for it. I know. Nevermind that I’ve never met her in person; I can vouch for her character since she puts words together in terrific combinations that make me snicker, laugh, cry, guffaw, heehaw, snort, insert-your-own-descriptor here after you’ve perused her site. Plus, she doesn’t hesitate to use the F-word when necessary. I like that.
Today, she posted her Christmas wish list and it’s chalk full of stuff that I, too, would like to have, only replace all camera equipment with the brand name Canon (just in case you’re thinking of getting me something…and boy-oh-boy that LensBaby looks mighty swell). In her post, she stated that she’d like a new pair of boots and that she might ask me to help her find them, except that my taste is both expensive and impractical. Pshaw.
So, I just zoomed out there on the interwebs to prove her wrong. Here, for Stacy, are four pairs of boots. She asked for either black or brown but I took a couple liberties on that one. Granted, only one pair costs less than a C-note, so I have to concede that I have a taste for the finer things in life—or, rather, a taste for over-priced things designated as such to make me think they’re the finer things in life. But! None of them cost the $500 that Stacy claims will end her marriage. That has to count for something, right Good Looking (will link to her husband’s site when I can find it again)?
First, here are some black boots for you. They’re perfect for tromping in the rain and across those tricky cobblestones with grace and sophistication, while still giving the impression that you could kick some ass if you had to.
Next, I offer up the brown pair you’ve requested. These don’t have the intimidating tread of the first pair, but the square toe can see you elegantly through museums and playgrounds with sophisitcation and style.
How could you possibly live without a pair of red boots? These are both functional and sexy. You can identify yourself as the Super Hero you are simply by donning these with a pair jeans or a knee length skirt. You can buy flowers at the market and kiss away baybish’s boo-boo in these puppies and come across as both elegant and competent. And, at the end of the day, Good Looking will have to exhibit Supermanesque restraint to keep from licking these delicious delicacies. I mean look at them, for God’s sake!
Finally, lest you think I place form over fucntion, I offer up the quintessential necessity for a darling American girl living life across the pond. Psychedelic wellies!!! Yes! These beauts cost less than $75 (US) and will allow you to splash in puddles all the way to school and back, looking fierce and stunning while doing so.
Notice that there is not a heel in sight that might get you caught in the gap! Girl, if I could, I’d buy you every pair on this page. Unless you hate them all, of course. In which case, I’d buy them for myself while shaking my head at your craziness.
