Dear Eram ad agency - Thank you for solidifying that.

The copywriter in me says damn, I wish I'd thought of that.

Reminds me of Justin Timberlake's "Single Ladies" video.
His legs were FAB.

My college newspaper did a special April Fool's edition where they has the entire football team in ridiculous outfits and poses usually reserved for women in advertising. I still laugh thinking about it, even though that was 20 years ago!

Like, they might have thought "they bitch about a naked woman wearing shoes in ads? well, we'll give them a naked man! (some dude, high, in the corner shouts: Or an Ostrich, Man!)" - this all in french, of course.
Why not just show the shoes, only? I don't care that WOMEN are being exploited, I care that ANYONE is being exploited.
I guess I'm just grumpy today.

I think the "we'll give them a naked man" part is in retaliation to the bitching. They are not trying to help, they are being catty (or juvenile?). Gosh, I hope that's what I mean. Stupid beer.
Now, instead of exploiting women, they have flipped it to exploit men. I do not see this as progress. The nakedness is pointless to selling shoes. There should be no nakedness in the ad in general. That is kinda where the exploitation is coming from.
It's like Good Step, Wrong Motive. ?
ugh. I'm too drained to work hard for this...

Size 11 (sometimes 11.5)
Small calves.
Big thighs.
Kids used to call me chicken legs :(

Apart from unisex things like flip-flops and Dr. Martens and Converse, I don't think I own a single pair of shoes that I didn't have to special-order.

On the upside, Rack Room Shoes has awesome selections in size 11! Rocket Dog = made of win.

Sheriff Joe's Tent City ain't no fun.
That said, the peanut butter - freshly roasted and ground onsite - was really good.
