@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.
Did anyone else do a double take and start counting on their fingers after that People headline?

Oh, Lindsay, that (Yes, more than usual!) was so perfectly timed. Right around the comma between condescendingly and especially, I thought to myself, "More than usual?"
I guess all I'm trying to say is: we think alike and we should be friends. In a totally normal non-creepy way.
@JohanPaladin: Didn't say it was politically correct- but sorry I laughed till I hiccuped. Obviously Elmo isn't taking it seriously- just laugh with him.
@Tippi Hedren: You're just totally disgusting. But I must be, also, because that makes total sense to me and now that's all I'm going to think from now on.

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.

@Dorawithanattitude: Gervais is an odd bugger, but he seems to have found a good partner in Elmo.
