@Jenna: My aunt's Italian partner hates my shoes so whenever I visit (I might wear a shitty pair of shoes for the occasion) he insists on buying me a pair. Last year he bought me these amazing red Ferragamo heels and they are soooo comfortable. I absolutely have no shame in second-hand shoes either! I bought a super cool pair of Prada heels for 40 bucks from eBay. At least they're broken in :-)
@Penny: Secondhand shoes FTW! This may be the reason I didn't have them reinstate my eBay account after it got shut down for potentially being hacked. :P
(BTW, you might want to check out Ferragamo's book Shoemaker of Dreams, it's interesting stuff.)
@Penny: That's how I feel about it. The best is when someone buys them from a department store, scratches the soles, realizes they don't fit, and then can't return them. I will happily own the cast-offs of the stupid rich.
@Vivien Smith-Smythe-Smith: I have never liked Rachel Ray's persona on her show 30 Minute Meals. (See my comments on Jezebel's first post that mentioned this Martha / RR exchange as an example.) But I am really impressed with the way she handled that, too. I wish I'd watched that before my earlier comments.
@RenoDakota: We don't get Rachel Ray in NZ (at least, I don't think we do), but I always admire someone who can avoid rising to the bait, as she managed exceptionally well to, here
Listen Insider, I'm more surprised when Spencer Pratt: 1. Spells things correctly, and 2. Says decent, sensible things. Let me know when those things happen, OK?
I actually saw #6 when it was on the other night, and I think "But I'm still gonna keep you number one on my MySpace" has to be one of the all-time most hilarious lines to include in a break-up.

Unless by background check he means shady-private-eye-type investigating, in which case I will proffer that they seem to have not done a great job.

And no one looks more surprised about that than Cyndi Lauper.

If so, I suggest that he next craft uniforms for French university administrative assistants.

I love and adore you. Will you adopt me so I can one day only bake with eggs I gathered with my own hands? Please?
Love, KKC
P.S. I already hand address all of my Christmas cards (on Crane naturally) and make hospital corners with my bedsheets.
