Mishmash

Several people have sent me things recently, so I thought I would share them with you.

First, SKD sent me this article about the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York and its collection of shoes from the past 50 years.  It's currently in storage, but the collection has over 5,000 pairs of shoes.  Sounds fun to me!  I went to the Met once, but it was so insanely crowded I almost had an anxiety attack (note to self, DON'T go on Thanksgiving weekend).  You should go read the article, but here are 2 of the pairs I thought were interesting:

You know how I feel about flip flops, but these are amazing.  I would wear these.  Or decorate with them.

 

And of course I love the flower power boots from the 60s.

The Pinterest sent me these the other day.  I'm not exactly sure why except that they are insane and hilarious and therefor awesome.  Who wears these?

 

She also sent this.  It's shoe are!  It's empowering!  Hooray!

Aaaaand she found nerd socks.  This was totally me as a kid.  Go outside and play?  OK, how about I go outside and read?  Does that count?  This are also a nice segue into the fact that today is Squirrel Appreciation Day. 

Is it me or do these look like bunnies with squirrel tails?  Whatever.  The PB could wear them on Squirrel Appreciation Day and be adorable and appropriately themed.

Finally, Mom sent this picture of Flower's adorable snow boots (with a shoe photo bomb by Laughter).

Finally finally, today is also National Hugging Day.  No shoes, just an invitation to go hug someone you love.  You could also hug someone you don't love, but that might lead to all kinds of awkwardness.

Thanks, PF!

I have a Facebook friend who frequently writes that she's "feeling some kind of way."  That describes my past couple of days.  I'm feeling some kind of way, but I don't know exactly what that way is.  I've been restless, a little grumpy, weirdish, and some other stuff I haven't been able to identify.  I don't know.  I feel like I try too hard but I don't try hard enough.  I feel like I send stuff out in the universe and no one gives a s***, but I also feel like they shouldn't give a s*** because I suck and I send nothing out into the universe.  Yes, I'm having issues, and clearly I need to figure stuff out.  But not at 10:30 on a Wednesday night.  Instead I'm going to give you the latest batch of shoes from the Pinterest Friend.

If I were still in a place where I had to take blue book exams, I would totally wear these to take them.

Hmmmm...niece project?

This is hilarious.  Also, why?

These are really interesting.  I would plan a Halloween outfit around these.

Clear, light up shoes.  I don't honestly know what to say about these.

Oh wait...not it's THESE I don't know what to say about.  What is happening here?  Is it wrong that my first thought was the yellow one looks like someone peed in it?

 

Pineapple shoes.  Double A and The Bean give each other pineapple stuff and say, "suck it."  It's a Dexter reference, I guess.  These are cute, and I do not wish to tell anyone to suck it.

 

Awwww...so adorable!  The BFF is a Leo, and I'm thinking she needs lion slippers.

These are hilarious to me.  I love a good Mary Jane; never thought I could have Mary Jane socks.

It's a darn good thing the PF is awesome and keeps me in cute shoe pictures so I still have something to post even when I'm feeling all wibbly wobbly.
