I'm ba-aaack...

And now both my legs from the knees down are killing me. Oh well, I bought a big bottle of cheap white zinfandel, and it is chilling in the fridge. I might even make pasta later.

Update: Oh yeah -- the Invasion of the Backless Shoes didn't just inflict Payless. I went to the Expensive Mall (Mall of the Millenia, the one with the Apple Store and the Macy's and so on) and walked around. The few casual flats I did see were overpriced (not that I didn't expect that). A specialty store had some Mephisto walking shoes on sale, but even at fifty percent off they were beyond my budget. I love Mephistos, but I balk at paying so much for things I'm going to stomp around on the dirty pavement with.

The other thing that's running rampant this year are cropped pants/capris. Some stores don't seem to have anything but! I'm short enough without wearing cropped pants so my legs look like a garden gnome's! Yeesh.

Okay, the Gay Boy is here to help you find some shoes, Andrea. Explain to me exactly what it is you need in a shoe, where you want to wear them, what color your purse and belts are, and how much you want to spend. And I will direct you to The Perfect Shoe on line.

We can do this by e-mail of you want.

Cheers,
D

Surely you didn't expect to find anything you could afford at Millenia (outside of the food court).

Oh no. I just like walking around and looking at stuff, messing with the iMacs at the Apple Store, etc. (But I did see a lot of 50-75% off sales. All of useless things like skimpy summer wear in sizes like 0 and -3, strappy sandals with teetery heels, amusing lamps, and so on.) I look upon a visit to an expensive mall as being a kind of museum excursion. Also, it's an opportunity to walk a lot without getting heatstroke.
