in the words of shania twain, "man! i feel like a woman!"
so long girl-dom,
helllllloooo woman-hood.
i wore my first pair of woman shoes this weekend. pointy! i used to think this made people look like the wicked witch of the west, but i slowly came around to the fact that, to be woman, you must wear these shoes. so i did. let me tell you, wheee dogs, did i feel different. and wheeee dogs, did everyone treat me differently. they knew i was woman. that's right.
okay, so things weren't that different, and i probably would have preferred my mary janes. but one must sacrifice to become woman.
but today, i'm back to the pink pumas. woman-hood is fleeting and lasts for but an instant.

what about the black wedge sandals that you bought in italy? i thought you referred to those shoes as womanly. (or was it the sleek leather purse that made you "woman"?)

if i'm remembering correctly, it was the purse that emanated woman. but as with all things woman for me, it was but temporary.

well, i understand temporary womanliness...i, too, broke down and bought a pair of pointy shoes (hey, they were on sale for $19, reduced from $85) but that woman impulse only lasts about 2 hours at a time. no way i can wear those all day!

I have discovered bliss: pointy shoes in a wide width. Perfect!
