Except that those women all sounded like elitist obnoxious shits and we would never want to be seen like that. Or to have handbags that cost 15K.<br /><br />Maude, these definitely cannot be first paycheck boots because I have already decided the first paycheck is going towards a bureau with drawers that don't have bottoms that fall out whenever you open them! Ooh, or a couch without $%@$#%) slipcovers! Couch or drawers, couch or drawers, hmm. Ooh, I might have to make out a schedule prioritizing *all* my future paychecks! <br /><br />pocha, what do you mean genetically unfortunate body type? Were you born without legs? <br /><br />Oh wait, now that sounds horribly able-ist and mean about disabilities. Oops. I myself am very short with wide, stumpy legs, so I don't know if I would even look good with those boots. Basically I just have the picture there so I can drool over it more conveniently, like how in "My Last Duchess" the Duke preferred the image of his wife to the imperfect reality.Sisyphushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09880634753539329199noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7366909960546184927.post-74443526373551115192009-11-11T21:20:19.000-08:002009-11-11T21:20:19.000-08:00I wish I could pull those off, but alas my genetic...I wish I could pull those off, but alas my genetically-unfortunate body type would not wear those well. <br /><br />I *love* the idea of a "tenure boots." It took me two years of being on the tenure-track before I let myself buy new boots.Phttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16625377988852170518noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7366909960546184927.post-11230852488270825872009-11-11T13:35:06.559-08:002009-11-11T13:35:06.559-08:00gorgeous! and tenure schmenure boots--these should...gorgeous! and tenure schmenure boots--these should be first paycheck after a successful job season boots! i'll keep my fingers crossed!Maudehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11918488082176862598noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7366909960546184927.post-78420594973288165242009-11-11T07:20:46.561-08:002009-11-11T07:20:46.561-08:00Nice!Nice!Phul Devihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17001424066432419292noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7366909960546184927.post-31191281109989023632009-11-11T06:32:00.059-08:002009-11-11T06:32:00.059-08:00Sisyphus, dear, do you have a direct line to my br...Sisyphus, dear, do you have a direct line to my brain? Or to the part of my brain that does the shoe-processing? <br /><br />I have been coveting those for months. What size are you? Perhaps we could arrange some sort of transcontinental joint-custody thing. If we get one or two more people involved, and find someone to sponsor the cost of postage, we could maybe even afford it. What say?<br /><br /><br />Oh, sigh.moriahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12390704103460109691noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7366909960546184927.post-44689636343127366472009-11-11T01:55:06.633-08:002009-11-11T01:55:06.633-08:00Holy god, those boots are gorgeous.
