The point of my designer shoes (my only pair, mind you) is not only to stand out but to satisfy a part of me that needs to feel special. To feel just as good as a movie star or Oprah. Other people choose to feel special in the way that they express themselves artistically or politically, by their jobs or by the things they are passionate about. For me, feeling special means owning these amazing shoes. No, they aren't super comfortable. In fact, folding my double wide feet into these shoes feels like those Chinese foot binding deals must have. She's pointing at her toes, people.
Even though I have at least 30 pairs of Payless shoes, they don't make me feel special, they don't make me stand out and they certainly don't make me as happy. For the price of a Wii, can I not have something exceptional? Something just for me? So stop questioning my choices and just love my shoes, dammit.

No...no those are NOT toes. OMG!
love the shoes but honestly what the hell is that picture?
LOL, Peggy! The photo is of an elderly Chinese woman who grew up with bound feet to fit those teeny shoes.
Her right foot is in the little red shoe and she's holding up the left and pointing to the toes which had been broken, folded and bound up over years and years. Make a fist with your toes and picture that 10 times worse then crammed in a shoe LOL!
