Shoelover's Fan Mail?

Shoelover got this piece of interesting "fan" mail today:

Shoelover,

My toddler son won't stay in his bed at night and what is worse he runs out of his room all of the time.  What can I do to make sure he stays in his room?

Judy in Fresno

Shoelover replies:

Judy,

Thanks for writing.  While Shoelover is not a child care expert, Shoelover suspects that offering your child chocolate if they stay in bed is probably a good start as chocolate is a good bed time snack.  Failing that, a sippy cup full of coke is a good offering.  In a worst case scenario, try sewing their pajamas to a beadsheet, then putting them in the pajamas and then putting the sheet on the bed.  I have heard this works.

Bambino Shoes, Part II

So Shoelover managed to coral a little tyke to do some modeling of Shoes for the Bambino.  This little guy didn't come cheap (we are talking about a whole box of gold fish crackers, a cup of milk and a tin of play-dough..........significantly more than Kate Moss made on her first photo shoot) so we had to get the most of the situation.

According to Lil' Tyke's agent, he comes with a modeling pedigree as his father was a child model, some 30 years ago, whose career was sidelined due to a raging arrowroot biscuit addiction. Let's hope that Lil' Tyke doesn't have the same monkey on his back.  Lil' Tyke's mother reports that Lil' Tyke does have an emerging "Thomas the Train" obsession, so the apple may not fall far from the tree.

Somehow Lil' Tyke's agent managed to convince Lil' Tyke to put the fez on, in addition to the slippers.  While Shoelover suggested using a high strength epoxy or industrial staples to secure the cap on Lil' Tyke's head, Lil' Tyke's agent suggested raisins.  Shoelover, not being too familiar with either children or the adhesive powers of dried up grapes, didn't realize Lil' Tyke's agent was suggesting that we offer Lil' Tyke a box of raisins if he wore the fez (as opposed to somehow using the raisins to stick the fez to his head).  In fact, Lil' Tyke quite liked the fez and slippers, and demanded that his employment contract be renegotiated on the spot as to allow him to sleep in both the fez and slippers..............so out came the pens and Lil' Tyke got on the phone to his lawyer.

Doesn't Lil' Tyke look worldly?

P.S. - No I’m never gonna do it without the fez on
         Oh no
         That’s what I am
         Please understand

Shoes for the Bambino

A loyal reader writes:

"Shoelover,

While I appreciate your humor, stop farting around and write about shoes already.

Thanks, a devoted fan"

Shoelover's response:

"Thanks for your interest.  While Shoelover admits to straying from time to time, Shoelover does not fart.  Shoelover may get a bit bloated after 4 or 5 large lattes in an afternoon, but Shoelover does not fart around.

xoxo, Shoelover"

And on that note, Shoelover came across a cute little pair of slipper for the bambino.  Imported from the Casbah of Casablanca, these little cuties, when paired with a little fez,  make for a wonderful and worldly look for any toddler.  Shoelover will see what can be done about finding a little tyke to model this ensemble for all of the readers.

Is there anything that shoes can't do?

.........i don't think so.  Keep your eyes out for Shoes for Orphan Souls (even worked in a little pun there) and help cloth the little people of the world!
