Shoegasm.

Magical heels. My first pair? Pink. 1987. The feeling of giddy excitement that I experienced sliding my small 10 year old foot into them back then is the same feeling I experience now...I feel pretty and beautiful.

Of course, pink has turned to leopard print with red leather trim and my little toes have walked a long walk in the 20 years since this picture was taken. At 30 I had to agree with my favorite shoe diva...


"The fact is, sometimes it's hard to walk in a single woman's shoes...that's why we need really special ones now and then, to make the walk a
little more fun..."
Carrie Bradshaw

My unexplainable attraction to the sexy, dramatic PAINFUL stiletto became
clearer when I was introduced today to a term none other than the
"shoegasm"...

"Simply put, fabulous shoes make us feel good and feeling good makes our
brains send out positive signals to our bodies. The result is a shoegasm..."

And it's good for us! (It's the sex of the new millennium ladies!)

"A pair of new shoes might not cure a broken heart or soothe a tension headache, but they will relieve symptoms and chase away the blues." Holly Brubach

Amen and Amen.

Float by.

I suppose it's that time again. I heard this awful screeching sound sitting at my desk in my office. I looked out my 10th floor window to see this:















We are in Pasadena, CA headed toward January 1st. Roller coasters are bound to drive by at some point!
