There are a wide range of shoes pictured here from over a span of at least 15 years.

On the top row, second from the left we have a pair of “going out” shoes from about 1995. Once after a rousing night at the Kilowatt on 16th and Valencia I fell over and twisted my ankle and was laid up for 2 weeks. On the third row, second from the left we have a pair of delicious platforms in red, green and yellow. I wore these everyday for a year in about 1997. They looked great with mini skirts but they are HEAVY! So heavy! They are soled in lead.

I’ve gotten a bit girlier in recent years as evidenced by the silver Frye mary janes and the mustard yellow and cream Jeffery Campbell heels. I LOVE both of these AND I bought these just after I realized that a 6.5 size were actually better for me than a 7 when it comes to heels.

The pair of white boots with black laces are Miz Mooz. I’m not sure why I got white in this shoe… I wish I had gotten the brown instead. However, in the spirit of DIY I have purchased shoe dye stripper and some different colors of leather dye. So, I could dye them blue or red or I could mix them and make purple! What do you think I should do?

And of course we have the standard Fluevog heels (fourth row, second from right) and boots (bottom right). The dark red heels are always a win win for me. They are comfy and sexy and stylish. The boots, now, I LOVE these boots so much! A round toed cowboy boot is sheer genius. I have freakishly large calves so when I bought these I had the Fluevog store strtch out the top part. Even with that, right now, they don’t fit.

These are not all my shoes, obviously. I have a flickr set with all my Black Boots . Agirl can never have too many pairs of black boots.

What are your favorite shoes?! And why!

First off the ikea smocks are really awesome. Way better than a bib as it catches all the cheerios and stuff in the little bottom pocket and keeps the sleeves of his outfit clean.

Anyway, I found a picture of Spock on google and then photoshoped up a stencil from it. BTW, the CS3 version of Photoshop apparently doesn’t have the contrast sliders… or if it does, it wasn’t where it used to be. Ten I justed used a sharpie to trace Spock on to the smock.

Instant gratification, yo.
