Happy Birthday, Auntie!

Yesterday was Thanksgiving and Mom and Dad's anniversary, today is my auntie's birthday.  She's still just as cool as the last time I wrote on her birthday, probably even cooler.  To celebrate, here are some shoes that the internet tells me are from around the time of her birth (as always, who knows if the internet is telling me the truth?).

Oh man, wouldn't it be nice if I could buy a pair of shoes for $3.98?

These belong with an awesome green outfit in a fabulous movie from the 50s.

Shiny, sparkly, AND they have bows!  Well, at least one does...

These would have gone well in my Canadian post from last year.

Oooh...these were listed as "boudoir slippers."  Putting the word "boudoir" in a phrase automatically makes anything sound fancier.

 

Love the red.  Wish I could wear slingbacks.

Yes!  I really have no idea what my fascination is with this type of shoe, but I can't help it.  If it's even spectator-pump adjacent I'm bound to like it.

I hope you've all recovered from your food coma hangovers.  Thanks for hanging out with me and helping me celebrate the bestest auntie ever!

A Different Holiday

Happy Thanksgiving!  No, I haven't completely lost my mind (yet).  Today is Thanksgiving in Canada.  today in the US it's Columbus/Indigenous Peoples day, and I'm just not going to go there.  I have very definite opinions, but I'm not going on a rant tonight.  Instead, we'll borrow from the Canadians.  Actually, shoe-wise, I'm going less with the holiday and more with Canada itself.  OK, all Canada, no Thanksgiving.

These are cute.  I'm not Canadian, obviously, but I would wear these.

Pretty much the same, just reverse.  (Yes, thank you, Captain Obvious).  I actually like the first combination a little better.

This is not good.  They took what could have been a cute shoe and made it really clunky.

Much better.  The heel is still a bit clunky, but these are really cute.  Canadian female flight attendants should wear these. :-)

Awww...for cute little Canadian babies.  Technically, ugly Canadian babies could wear these, too.  But really, 99.9% of babies are cute even when they are ugly.

Oh man, now I want not just a baby, but a Canadian one, so he or she could have this outfit!

So, Canada actually works today.  You know, it's Fall, their flag has maple leaves.  It's all good.  Happy Thanksgiving, Canada!
