What shoes to choose?

Surely, it was a cruel and misogynistic cobbler who first designed the dress show for women.

What the hell was he thinking?






Everyday I wear my chic and strappy Stuart Weitzman little matte gold sandals (as prescribed by the dress Nazi who sold me my MOB dress) for ten or fifteen minutes to break them in. In fact, they are breaking ME in. The little thin strappies are carving permanent impressions into my poor bunioned feet and rather than becoming accustomed to them I find myself hating them more and more with each passing day. And they were the most comfortable matte gold strappy sandals I could find!

The sun finally came out this afternoon so I thought I would take the strappy gold mattes out for a trial run on my freshly cut grass (thank you Milko.) With one step, the heel completely sunk into the ground and they became flats.

Hmmm. There's more to the prospect of an outside wedding than one might expect. Now I ask: How am I and my machatenista and the three grandmothers going to walk down the aisle on the grass? Not to mention the bridesmaids? Your suggestions would be most appreciated.
Take a good look at these beautiful Weitzmans my dear friends. Because, after the wedding ceremony you're not going to see them. I wonder if Reef Flip Flops come in matte gold???

FROM GINGER: "I am beginning to think I have nothing better to do than answer your blog....however, my suggestion would be to dye the flip flops gold ...or as in ancient times, go barefoot and just paint your toe nails gold............Everyone our age wears Weitzman, it is one step from corrective shoes for the elderly!!!!!!!!

Ruthellen - You are just hysterical and should really think about writing comedy professionally! Meanwhile, I finally just found and bought my shoes for Becky's wedding today! While I love them and think they are very pretty, I will definetely be the bridesmaid sinking into the grass!!!
