I really adore these boots, even though there's no possible way I would pay practically a month's rent for, well, any item of clothing at all, let alone one that's going to be stuffed full of feet and socks and scuffing along the ground.

But these, or these, or these? A world of NO.

I'm holding out for new Fluevog boots. A Trusted Source of Mine told me that they've seen an advance copy of the fall Fluevog catalog: batwing-scalloped heels, lined in red leather, pointed toes with squared-off tips, and the boot (knee-high) comes to a point up the back of the calf.

There's an Anthropologie store down the block from me... and I've yet to see even one thing that was worth the price they wanted for it.

How short are you having it cut, shrift?

Quite short, compared to how very long it was. It's just barely brushing my shoulders now.

Pictures?

Oh! I like it.

Very nice length! And, looking at the non-hair parts of you, it must be noted that damn, you have a fantastic mouth.

Those are some seriously fugly boots. These, I like.

Thank you, Lee and JZ! My next mission is to go back and play with color. Also to visit Sephora, and do some shopping downtown so none of my friends can nominate me for What Not To Wear.
