Shoe Blog


I got these back in the early 1990s. The very last pair at the mall, my size, white leather, hugely discounted. SCORE.
I bought the chiffon checkerboard laces a short time later.


My twin sister Jaye's thigh high red boots. Also gotten for next to nothing.




My T.U.K. creepers, itty bitty girlie sized. Bought many years ago. Back in the 80s, I fell in love with Ducky's white creepers in "Pretty in Pink" and vowed to have a pair of my own one day.
On the floor: my boot chains. Also bought in the early 1990s. Got them for nothing because a chain was missing from the left strap. Go me. A fashion statement and a weapon in one.


A circle of Sauconys. The navy blue ones belong to Jaye. The other two are mine. Gotta brag: scored them all for 30 bucks each. Lie in wait for sales. We needed sneaks big time, but waited for the right time. High five.


My highlighter yellow Madden spikes. Bought for me by good friends of mine for Christmas one year.
They match nothing and therefore go with EVERYTHING.


These are black leather boots I've owned since the mid 1990s. Actually, mine finally died, and Jaye let me have hers. What a generous gnome she is.
The spats: those are a DIY project. I was given these hideous looking 1980s vintage opera length prom gloves to do with as I willed. The satin was lightly stained with what appeared to be pen ink too. I decided to piece them out and -voila- I made spats. Stitched on seed beads and pearl buttons.


My yellow leather Bronx boots. Again, a gift to me years ago. I wear them with everything.
