Shoes for the credit crunch....

Shoelover realizes that times are tough out there.  Shoelover feels your pain, but more importantly, Shoelover knows you don't have to resort to shopping at Payless, unless of course you like it there.  So with that in mind, Shoelover presents shoes for the credit crunch

At over $900, you may not think the Roberto Cavalli L80008 from Zappos is an wise choice for scarce funds, but the shoes serve a dual purpose.  The 4.5 inch heel should distract most bankers into giving you what you want and if it doesnt, the heel can double as a small dagger which you can hold to the throat of the offending bank manager if they didn't acquiesce to your earlier, more polite, request.

Why Men are Dumb

This came across Shoelover's desk earlier today.  There is a moral here..............

This was obviously written by a guy ... 

I never quite figured out why the sexual urge of men and women differ so much. And I never have figured out the whole Venus and Mars thing. I have never figured out why men think with their head and women with their heart.

FOR EXAMPLE:

One evening last week, my girlfriend and I were getting into bed. Well, the passion starts to heat up, and she eventually says, 'I don't feel like it, I just want you to hold me.'

I said, 'WHAT??!! What was that?!'

So she says the words that every boyfriend on the planet dreads to hear...

'You're just not in touch with my emotional needs as a woman enough for me to satisfy your physical needs as a man.'

She responded to my puzzled look by saying, 'Can't you just love me for who I am and not what I do for you in the bedroom?'

Realizing that nothing was going to happen that night, I went to sleep.

The very next day I opted to take the day off of work to spend time with her. We went out to a nice lunch and then went shopping at a big, big unnamed department store. I walked around with her while she tried on several different very expensive outfits. She couldn't decide which one to take, so I told her we'd just buy them all. She wanted new shoes to compliment her new clothes, so I said, 'Lets get a pair for each outfit.'

We went on to the jewelry department where she picked out a pair of diamond earrings. Let me tell you... she was so excited. She must have thought I was one wave short of a shipwreck. I started to think she was testing me because she asked for a tennis bracelet when she doesn't even know how to play tennis.

I think I threw her for a loop when I said, 'That's fine, honey.' She was almost nearing sexual satisfaction from all of the excitement. Smiling with excited anticipation, she finally said, 'I think this is all dear, let's go to the cashier.'

I could hardly contain myself when I blurted out, 'No honey, I don't feel like it.'

Her face just went completely blank as her jaw dropped with a baffled, 'WHAT?'

I then said, 'Honey! I just want you to HOLD this stuff for a while. You're just not in touch with my financial needs as a man enough for me to satisfy your shopping needs as a woman.'

And just when she had this look like she was going to kill me, I added, 'Why can't you just love me for who I am and not for the things I buy you?'

Apparently I'm not having sex tonight either....but at least that bitch knows I'm smarter than her....

So what can women learn from this pithy little tale........

1. Have your own career, make your own money and spend it how you want,

2. Remember what motivates men; and,

3. Guys have no clue what a Tennis bracelet is.

A day in the life....

of a girl who wear shoes.......

A day in high heels can really bring you down

BY ELOISE PARKER

The "Sex and the City" girls are stomping all over the city in their sky-high Manolos once again, and New York's hottest shoe stores are filled with some of the highest heels we've ever seen.

With some measuring almost 5 inches, the real question is, just how far through a regular day can a gal really get in these torture devices?

The allure of a longer leg certainly made it worth a try.

But with a daily commute to the office, dogwalking and a downtown dinner at STK all on my agenda, I hoped I wouldn't liter-ally be falling for sexpot stilettos before the end of the day.

Walking tall, my towering new pumps certainly drew stares while I commuted to the office, though I got more looks of pity than I did of admiration, especially when faced with stairs, sidewalk grates and a complete inability to bust moves any faster than a cautious totter.

As the desire to throw them off for good gained momentum, a blistered toe, curiously achy knees and lower back, and numb toes had me feeling even sorrier for myself.

The verdict? These shoes may indeed be the fast track to glamour on even the most mundane of days. But make sure they're always accompanied by a big enough bag to throw in a pair of emergency flats before you even think about stepping out the door.

8:15 a.m.: WALKING THE DOG. Shuffling along behind an eager pup wasn't much fun for either of us. I had to head home long before my companion was ready.

9:15 a.m.: NOT GOING GRATE New York's sidewalks turned into an assault course, proving stiletto heels and street grates just don't mix (continued...)

PS    Don't let it bring you down
       It's only castles burning
       Just find someone who's turning
       And you will come around.

It's been one of those days.........
