The shoes of unemployment

I don't remember wearing shoes when I was unemployed. Go you!

I pretty much always wear shoes in the house, because 3 pets means hair everywhere, and I don't want pet hair on my bare feet. So -- gnarly flip-flops, much to Tim's chagrin.

t edit Lee, your shoes are cute as hell!

My feet are bare and I need a pedicure.

I'm barefoot, and I honestly can't remember the last time I had a pedicure. Maybe high school prom.

Since my SIL has a nail salon I tend to be ok on the pedicure. For the first time in about forever I didn't have any bruised toes so I went for the French.

I'm a 47 year old woman who just had poptarts for breakfast because that was what was in the vending machines, and sometimes getting myself up, dressed, and fed before work is just one thing too many.

Why do you think I work from home so much?

I am wearing flip flops and am in dire need of a pedicure.

I have grown to dislike my feet so much that I think that's why I haven't had a pedicure in years. When I just moved here, I was on the regular with them, and sandals all the time. But I resemble my mother in head and toe and now I'm just ignoring them.

You know, car ads are becoming pretty same same. Like, I have no idea why Subaru keeps saying nothing about their cars, just stuff about family--I don't feel like buying them, but I like that one dog. I don't remember what car goes with the peewee football game in the park, but I'm sure it's very relevant to tackling.

And I definitely can't remember which make talks about seeing your life flash before your eyes, but I'm pretty sure that's for the best.

Unrelatedly, more women in action roles should wear action soles. Come on, Burn Notice.

I have several colors, and I wear them every day from as early as possible to as late as possible, season-wise. Most comfortable ever. And cheap. I think I would wear them if I were rolling in shoe money, too, though. Versatile, cute, and did I mention comfortable? Love them. And they last forever.

Need a pedicure, but it's way down on the list.

Lee, your shoes are cute as hell!

Thank you! They are super comfy too.

The hotel I'll be staying at in Galveston has a spa, so I am going to treat myself to a half spa day package--body wrap, facial (which I haven't had in years), massage and pedicure. OMG I can't wait.

Stephen Colbert's 'Best Segment Ever' Will Make You Feel So Many Things

It's being called "perhaps the single best segment" to ever air on The Colbert Report. And with good reason, because it probably is.

In the latest installment of "People Who Are Destroying America," Stephen Colbert introduced his audience to Johnny Cummings, the openly gay mayor (and part-time hairdresser) of Vicco, Kentucky.

Both Cummings and Vicco were in the news earlier this year after passing a city-wide ordinance banning discrimination against LGBT residents, becoming the smallest city in America to do so.

In a piece that is heartwarming, hilarious, and hopeful all at once, the Report heads down to Vicco to see how the Appalachian town's "simple hillfolk" are reacting to Cummings' pro-gay policies.
