@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.
I don't care if Reanimated Coco Chanel herself with the help of Jesus and a unicorn with opposable thumbs designed Desiree Rogers' gown. It's really... awful. It looks like she raided a child's costume chest and ruined some sheer ill-fitting bedroom curtains. Her outfit reminds me of a waterlogged Zelda Fitzgerald.
Okay, Mrs. Obama, you've flaunted your intelligence, grace, style, hot, smart husband ... and now you have to go and order (so probably look awesome in) thigh-high boots? Are you just on a campaign to make girls perma-envious? Because it's working.
@AfroJezeBella: Ah hah ha ha! "Do I Dazzle you?" Hearted for that.
The not-silver color, by the bye, looks to be ballet pink, which is not the beigey color that Crayola used to call "flesh." It's got a name. A nice name, even, and people are calling it "flesh"? *sigh*
The McNeil family's comments are pretty blatant admissions that Catherine was inflicting those cuts on herself. I just hope she gets all the support, love and hope she needs to pull through. My experiences with people I love self-mutilating makes this an issue that's close to my heart.
@Tchotchke: Ditto. However, oddly, I'm kind of glad that she chose to go out in public with the scars on her arms. I regularly cut my shoulders and my breasts, and it's only been very recently that I'm able to face the public world with the evidence still in my skin.
The sooner we stop being ashamed of our disease, the sooner the rest of the world will accept it as such.

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 hope she wears those thigh-high boots to the next state dinner.

And your company has his name, so I suggest you take his views into consideration.
