killer shoes and a smashed truck...

so i'm sitting at home, snuggled up under my fav blanket (thanks sara), waiting to hear from the rental car company as to when i'll be getting my replacement vehicle since i slamed my truck into a pole last night. no injuries & no other drivers/vehicles involved and luckily it was after work and josh was able to come pick me (and my groceries) up and bring us home. so i'm sitting here checking email, looking at random news stories on aol and come across the headline 'models refuse to wear scary item' and think 'huh, what could be so scary that models would refuse to wear it? i mean, they wear undies down a runway that one could never wear under anything, the victoria's secret girls wear 6' tall sparkly bows with said undies, and i've seen runway models in chocolate dresses that begin to melt under the lights causing a slipping hazzard, what could be so scary that they'd refuse???' so i click on the link and see these:

'armadillo heels' from alexander mcqueen and i wonder... what is it with this guy that he is so fashionably brilliant that people trust his judgment to actually manufacture shoes that look like this? ya'll should know that i love shoes, fun shoes, way-too-high shoes, pinchy shoes, sparkly shoes, comfy boots, not-so-comfy boots, etc but these, are just plain wrong! amazing shoes are meant to make a woman look and feel her best, not look and feel like a weird 1960's alien. honestly, if you ever see me looking at/trying on/seriously considering any shoes anything like thise, smack me off the heels and shake me until i realize that it's a bad idea...

oh, and during the writing of this i received the call from hertz and was told that i could pick up my standard size car anytime (yahoo!)... except that they don't re-open until saturday morning at 9am, thankfully i don't work until 12
