Okay, it’s time to let you all in on another of Thornie’s secret vices. Shoes. I know, I know… It’s so mainstream. I’m almost scared to tell ya! I totally admire Jessica the Rock Chick not only for her willingness to be so “out” about her shoe and boot fetish, but also for the shoes!! Have you seen some of the sexy heels she wears?? Back in the days when I was wearing shoes like that we called them “Come blank me pumps”. And she dances in those things- even after back surgery!!
Anyway, back before my health issues I was a high heel wearing fool, but age and geography have conspired to set me firmly into the “comfortable shoes” demographic and it tees me off! I want cute red shoes!!! And I found some! Yay, me! Check these “Patagonias” out: (I even like the name! Hee hee)
Cute, eh? Red and Mary Janes, no less! I love um!! Look, the uppers are made of pigskin (sorry, my PITA friends) and they’re perforated with tiny holes so my hot lil desert tootsies can breathe!! Wait, there’s more. I can order them online from Zappos.com, and get free shipping and 24/7 customer service (Don’t you just hate online shopping when you can’t reach a live body about your order? Grrr… I reeeally love 24 hour customer service, being the night owl that I am!)
They are reasonably eco-friendly with a 15% recycled EVA footbed, and a 20% recycled EVA midsole. Now, I know that’s not perfect, but they’re RED!!!
And I really like companies like Zappos that have goals and core values like: 
Stuff like that brings out the flower child in me. Takes me back to my hippy days with People Like Dr. Bronner and his products.
I could wear these, too… well, maybe not; but they’re awfully cute And they’re Holy and RED!!!
Just in case you’re not into the whole Ruby Slippers thang like I am, Zappos Patagonia has a whole line of cute, eco friendly shoes and a bunch of other cool clothing and accessories; check um out!
I deserve a new pair of shoes… don’t I?
Peace, out!

Indeed, you deserve a new pair of shoes! If you click those cute Mary Janes together can you say, “I want to go home” and get there?
We used to call them FM heels (yes the second word is “me”) and I loved mine. The favorite pair was an open toed, bright red sandal that gave you to drool over legs … ah age, bad back, and stories you don’t tell the grandchildren. Have to go look at those patagonias
When I get the chance I’ll have to post a pic of my patent-leather candy apple red mary-jane pumps. They are murder on my feet, but they are so sexy, I just can’t bear to part with them…hopefully one day I’ll actually get to use them for…um…something other than walking/dancing, if you catch my drift ;0)
Aside from chocolate, shoes are strongest weakness ;0) U should see my two shoe closets!
I’d totally say yes, based on that last photo, you deserve a new pair of shoes! I love red shoes-I think they’re so fun and funky! Both pairs are really cute!! I’m a Mary Jane fan myself. Love them with capris!
My latest funky shoes from my birthday pics are from Fergalicious! I was surprised, but they were actually quite comfortable.
I’m not a shoe kind of gal – but we were on the same wavelength today. I posted about shoes too!
i am also always on the hunt for cute red shoes. :)
