I'd been eyeing these bright yellow, green and cream Quick lace-up boots for a week or two...Yesterday, they finally came home with me. My Dad nearly choked on his ice tea when I showed them to him, they're that bright; and this morning, some of my co-workers shaded their eyes before commenting on my latest acquisition. In other words: they're a huge success. I think I might take them with me to Moonlight Rising, see what JM thinks! Maybe they'll inspire him to finally ditch those awful white trainers he seems so fond of wearing all the time.
Suzanna came in with a new do this morning, which has inspired me to scrape together all my courage and put myself back in the hands of my hairdresser again, because at the moment it just looks horrible. And if I can make an appointment with Juan, I'm sure he can salvage some of what his assistant ruined last time I went in. I know that sleek is all the rage these days, but my hair never wants to stay that way, and I'm too effin' lazy to bother with styling...plus I hate all those sticky gels and stuff.
As usual, my weekend was far too short to fit in all the things I'd like to do, but at least I managed to watch and discuss Winding Roads with
db2305 on Saturday. We got so caught up in the discussion, of WR, of JM, of AtS's recent cancellation, and of fanfic, that I never got around to inspecting her fashion purchases. Luckily, she remembered at the very last minute, and doubled back to show me her new pinkish/tan flat-soled sandals, which I'm sure will look marvelous on her this summer.
Kraftwerk are playing Amsterdam tonight. Unfortunately, I found out about it too late to get a ticket...and besides, I've got an elsewhere to be. Pity; I'll just have to make do with my CD-Rom drive today.

Why ever not, what's not to like about ladies' boots?
But I actually meant to inspire him into a more colourful choice of footwear. If he wants to ruin his feet by wearing trainers all the time, that's his look-out; but he could stand to be a bit more adventurous at least in his choice of colour. White is just so bleuuggghhhh...
I beg to differ: granted, they don't have as broad a range to choose from as we do, but if they're willing to look and windowshop, they should be able to find something a little more shall we say, distinctive?
And trainers come in all shapes and colours. Going for white running shoes just says 'I've got no imagination whatsoever, and I hate shopping for shoes anyways'.
I think that hits the nail on the head.
Yeah. Mine refused to be made over, although I did get him in some better T-Shirts. I was just trying to make him a little more punk. He has so far refused to put on my old, long black coat. Git.
Well, that's just stupid. I'm sure he'd look fantastic in an old, long black coat (is it leather?).
I think I will, now. It sounds like just the sort of thing I might enjoy! Are they on Internet, I wonder? I'll just go look!
They are horrible. But as a friend of mine pointed out, they are proof of his heterosexuality, which was important if said female wanted to date him.
Are they? Hmmm...must be an American distinction. I know enough gay men that go for white, too!
Good luck with the hairdresser - although if it's sleek you want, get yourself some ceramic straightening irons. I love mine with a passion. In minutes they transform my frizzy mass into something resembling sleek without the need for anything sticky. So clever.
I thought you were going to get those shoes you'd lusted over at L K Bennet's? They sounded like they might ust be the thing.
But if white trainers are what you have and you feel comfortable in, bring them! Who cares what I think? You'll need a pair of trainers to go traipsing round New York with, anyway. Which reminds me, must talk to Fran about us staying at her place. You'll like the Upper Eastside. And if she can't have us, I've already been informed we can stay at the House of Redemption (a church property, used to belong to the Vanderbilts but is primarily used as a retreat for overworked vicars these days).
I was just thinking we should start to sort out some accommodation in NYC. I was thinking along the lines of a run-of-the-mill hotel but, blimey! You know the most interesting people! A retreat for shagged out vicars - coo!
I suppose I do: I know you, don't I? ;-)
