Fun Monday# 35 These boots are made for Walking

Robin is our hostess with the nicest of feet so naturally she has a foot fetish and what does she say....


"Shoes tell a lot about a person and we wanna delve deeply into your soul sole. Photograph your favorite pair--or pairs--of shoes and tell us a little about why they're near and dear to your toes heart (I can't wait to see how Swampy ties this in to Breast Cancer Awareness!). Follow in Jenny's footsteps and make a foot-family portrait...show us your baby bronzed booties...let us see the shoes YOU HAD TO HAVE (but have never worn)...or all those grotesquely dyed-to-match formerly white satin bridemaid's shoes that were worn ONCE...the reinforced steel-toe boots that saved your big toe from being hacked off in that industrial "accident"...or, just take pictures of your nekkid feet--gnarly bunions, twin toes, or perfectly OPI-pedicured tootsies".

I wouldn't dare to show a picture of my feet or would I....

When I was a toddler I apparently loved these shoes and they were bright red not that you can tell that from this old photo!
Those shoes were not kept but as I'm an old softy I did keep quite a few pairs of my own children's shoes I could never afford to have them preserved so they have been going mouldy in a box in my cellar; this was Sam's first pair...
(Beccy before you say where are yours you completely wore them out so I couldn't save them but I have others of yours).
When I looked at my current shoe collection, (and I admit to having just a few pairs!!) I decided they were all boring so I'm showing you my 'this year's fad' which are my comfy crocs. They are a bit like marmite you either love them or hate them. I love them and have a couple of pairs. Sam and Fred bought me the little smiley face on their recent trip to Cornwall.
I'll also show you my really comfortable pair of walking boots that Sam bought me last time I visited her in San Fransisco (she took me on a 6 mile hike) I don't think we will have time for hiking when I visit in November or will I need them for traipsing around the Farmers Market!!


That's all folks see you soon.

October 1st 2006: Nothing Special

These feet are made for stamping!!!

A week ago I went to an promotional day at one of the local Leisure Centres. The idea was to encourage people to take more excercise, eat more healthily and generally look after your body, in particular your 'feet'. Oh and Crocs were being promoted as healthy shoes. I was hoping to get a sample foot massage but I was in for a big disappointment as it turned out they were just looking for a perfect set of pins. I was instantly dismissed as 'not passing', personally I would have thought they would have been better served by encouraging us 'no hopers' to take regular foot care; maybe they didn't want extra business. My feet are probably beyond redemption well that's how they made me feel anyway!! What I did see were some very active children who were quite keen to have their feet photographed. The end result could be a very pleasant way to excercise the feet- but I'll take mine from a bottle what about you ??
