Friday Afternoon Rock Out

Jennifer Beals.........eat your heart out

It's a Friday afternoon, so here are the beats that Shoelover is dancing naked around the office to (Well, not completely naked, wearing good pair of dancing shoes):

Do You Dare To - Token Cool Kid - A mashup of Do you want to by Franz Ferdinand, Dare by Gorillaz and Gold Digger (a little mysogyny never hurt) by Kanye West.

Best of Fantasy Fest '05 - DJ Peter Worth

And to close out the strip show - Gay House - a little mix of Blur's 90's brit pop (Country House) and Electric 6 (Gay Bar)

Proof that pharmaceutical companies

...must be run by men.

The New Viagra for Women - Speigel

Have pharmaceutical companies suddenly developed a pill that will cure men of laziness, male pattern baldness, the inability to listen and general inconsiderate behavior and boorishness?  No, wait, just something they claim will get women all wound up.  It's always the chick's fault isn't it.....maybe they will mix this with the birth control pill for a nice little combo pack that will make men even less responsible.............

Shoelover bets that this stuff fails clinical testing...........but what does Shoelover really know.

Here's a hint.............try complimenting a woman (even on her shoes)...........you would be surprised how far it goes!

Advice Follow up

Style Editor writes:

What perfect advice for the guys -- now what I do I about the totally hot but incredibly shy guy who keeps scoping me out at work? Should I walk up to him and say, "so, do you like my shoes?" ;-)

Shoelover Responds:

Seriously, guys are dumb.  He won't get the subtlety.  If you are sure he is scoping you out, try violating his personal space (get within 2 feet or less of him) and see how he responds.  If he gives you some positive feedback vis-a-vis body language, consider violating his personal space a little more (once you are out of the office).

Q&A with Shoelover (20 Questions or was that 5 minutes in the closet)

It gets to a point in every blog's life when you start getting asked questions about yourself.  I thought I would take this opportunity to answer the most popular ones.

1. Who are you?

No, who are you.

2. How old were you when you kissed your first girl?

12 years old - grade 6.  Got to second base a few months later.  Or were you including my mother in that question?

3. How old were you when you kissed your first boy?

Does that include my father,  you have to be more specific.

4.  If you could be any animal in the world, which one would it be?

Either a sea cucumber or Luwak aka Paradoxurus hermaphroditus/palm civet (These things actually shit money.  Their poop is worth about $300 a pound as opposed to my dog's shit which probably cost me about 2 to 3 bucks a pound)

5. Do you see a therapist?

No, I self medicate.  One of the advantages of swiping your doctor's prescription pad.

6. Does anyone think you are funny?

No, not to my knowledge.

7. Are you single?

Would you really want to spend more than 5 minutes with me?  Plus I snore.

8. How many people have seen you naked.

A lot.....excluding my parents.  If you include them, more than a lot.

9. What keeps you awake at night?

Wondering why it is considered normal for people to admit that god talks to them, but abnormal if they hear any other voices in their head.

10. Who are your blogging influences?

Absinthe

11. Oh you mean people?

William Shatner

18. What happened to questions 12 to 17?

Shut up and stop asking stupid questions, you just wasted another one.

19. What is the dumbest thing you have ever done?

You mean besides going to professional school for 4 years after 3 years in undergraduate studies and then walking away from a perfectly "good "career because it bored me to tears? Not sure.

20.  How often do you shower?

Probably more than you.

21. Do the curtains match the carpet?

Is that your way of asking me out on a date?  Email me your number and we can chat.  Be advised, I don't do dutch, but I do kiss on the first date.

What do you say to a girl

who looks like this...............

and writes a book like this?

Well for starters, Meghan Cleary, you've been nominated as one of the best dressed/most stylish bloggers by...................your secret admirer.

#5 - Christian Louboutin

OK, so I read the price tag on these backwards..............so shoot me, just don't tell Shoeguy.  He still thinks they were 89 dollars at some Boxing day sale.

What do you mean that North American price tags don't have three decimal place and don't start with zero.  I could have sworn the price of these was 00.089.  What?  That is how they price things in Japan don't they?  These must have been brought in from Japan, right?

Ya, that's right, Christian Louboutin Criss Cross Sandals with Swaroski crystal ornaments for about 00.089 dollars..............I mean $980.00...........whoops.  Buy some clear shoe boxes and help a girl out............

Hmm. Appropriate Attire? Do we care?

According to this article in the Wall Street Journal, women need to dress their age. Shoelover has always been of the mindset that one should dress in clothes (and shoes) that fit their size not their age. Since I'm 31 and work out, I believe that grants me, Shoelover, the right to wear whatever I damn well please.

When I worked in the office I wore high heels and short skirts and no one ever complained. I think women should wear tasteful jeans and stilettos in their 50s -- so long as it is fashionable. I love pairing my low cut dolce and gabanna jeans, with a faux pink croc around the waistband, with pink high heels.  Forty is the new thirty -- or so I've heard. I suppose that makes 30 the new 20.  Your thoughts?

PS - Shoelover is taking the day off tomorrow to pamper herself. Going for a brand new French mani/pedi. I'll take pictures of it with my new shoes tomorrow.

Hey mister songwriter!

RAY J PENS SONG FOR HALLE BERRY

Brandy's younger brother RAY J has such a huge crush on actress HALLE BERRY, he's written a song about her......."BLUE HIGH HEELS".

Shoelover is the first to admit that she "ain't no Brandy fan", but anyone who writes a song about shoes deserves a listen in my book.

Stay beautiful,

xoxo,
