The Woman Who Lived in a Shoe

My mother used to tell me, “Look at a man’s heels
to see if they are worn or not” as if you could tell
a lot about people by the shoes they wear.

Boots and shoes are the greatest trouble of my life. Everything else one can turn and turn about, and make old look like new; but there’s no coaxing boots and shoes to look better than they are.
Quotation from George Eliot, In Scenes of Clerical Life

Clothes make the man. Naked people
have little or no influence on society.

Quotation from Mark Twain

    I wonder what my preference for flip-flops says about me?

    I find I do best in cheap shoes. The expensive ones pinch too much.

    Well, I think Seraphine and her shoes should be on billboards for Converse. “Start a Revolution”. The TV ads would feature Chrissie Hynde of The Pretenders with “Revolution”. YOU ROCK, MY FRIEND!!!!

    Sera, I think you will have to post another entry to tell us what different shoe styles/types say about someone.

    But.. I will say though that I prefer men that wear clean, stylish shoes. What that really says about men, I don’t know, but it just looks good on them. :-P

    That was one from the sole Seraphine. It would take a real heel to stick his tongue out at it.

    That was horrible, I know, but I’m tired :)

    I really don’t care what people think of me so i just wear whatever is comfortable and leave it at that. I do have more dressy clothes i wear on special occasions since i don’t want to seem rude but that’s about as far as i’m willing to go for other peoples benefit.
