can i wear red?
this is the pressing question at the moment. lunch with L has got me thinking about shoes again. we got talking about shoes (after talking about ships and sealing wax), more specifically about this pair of red boots that L has that are somewhat mythic in nature. confessing mermaid has been eyeing them for a long time and has been thinking about buying a pair, just because of their luscious redness. L said the boots make her life better -- and i believe they do.
i could certainly use a little red in my life right now, and after our lunch i must confess that i'm trying to imagine my feet in them. would they make me a better writer? perhaps i'm a big enough girl now that i need writing boots rather than writing pants to get myself over those difficult paragraphs. if i do find myself the proud owner of wonderful red boots, then i will in part blame the fortune i received in my cookie at lunch today. i cracked open the cookie, dismaying that i would once again be told that i would make a good lawyer (!!), only to find the following message: "your nature is intense, magnetic and passionate". it sounds sexier in french (just like boots are sexier in red): vous etes passionée, fascinante et dynamic". i think it's time i embraced my inner red-boot-wearing girl.

Are we going to have to wrestle for those boots?
sadly no. L thought they were carrying them at heel boy this season, but she went in and checked while running errands the other afternoon only to find out that she had led us both down the garden path. they're last season's franco sarto, so if either of us find a pair, we'll be really lucky. i'm trying to think of a red boot alternative for self-expression
