If you're a girl
Category: shoes

You'll want these shoes:

The are $24 from wet seal. I'm totes in love.

Also the blackout on blogging on my personal life continues. It makes me sad because I really like blogging about the dirty details of life, but out of respect for those involved in my life the blackout is in place. Let's just say I'm so happy and he's fantastic!!

OMG shoes~

I think those shoes are sexy. I wouldn't be able to wear them, but I love them.

jason - 08/15/08 08:56
Heh. Tiny, I don't think guys in general scrutinize a girl's shoes. That's chick stuff. We're superficial about other things.

tinypliny - 08/14/08 22:13
I am, most certainly, a girl but I will have to (very civilly, mind you) disagree. Those shoes look like a most uncomfortable pair of torture and a sure trip to either the ER or the Chiropractor, if you are lucky. I will take the Roman strapped orthopaedically conforming flip-flops (that you posted a couple weeks back) most readily. ;^D

All the blokes who think girls ought to be in such shoes can please jump off the ledge, preferably tottering about in those restrictive monstrosities.

Ahh, the Scottish lumberjack model! Aye, bonny lass.

Congrats on the need for the blackout :)

This is news?

I was taking my normal break (read goofing off) and reading the NYT. I came across the article below. Really that's news? I'm kinda speechless.

Slingshot wrong way to get girlfriend's attention
By THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
Published: August 6, 2008
Filed at 3:48 p.m. ET
SOUTH OGDEN, Utah (AP) -- An 11-year-old boy who wanted to get his girlfriend's attention without waking her parents got a lesson in the strength of a window pane. A pebble fired from a slingshot has more velocity than a pebble tossed by hand.
''We were just trying to get her attention,'' said Joe Brunton, who is now doing odd jobs around his neighborhood to raise the money he needs to replace the window.
Joe and a friend were trying to see the girl early one morning a few weeks ago. At first, they threw wood chips at the window, but that wasn't enough, so the boys went home for heavier artillery. The slingshot worked in getting the girl's attention, but it also cracked the window.
The boys immediately owned up to the broken window and promised the girl's parents that they would replace it.
Joe went to his mother, who covered the $160 replacement cost but said the boy was going to have to do extra chores. Joe's friend Justice Kane decided that was going to take too long, so they have been going door to door and asking neighbors if they need any household chores done.
They also explained why they are raising the money.
''It was kind of embarrassing,'' Joe said.

The best thing about this story is that the AP reporter assumes the reader is a complete moron; to wit, "A pebble fired from a slingshot has more velocity than a pebble tossed by hand."

No, really?

It's reads like a filler or maybe a secret message for someone. If you read it backwards, maybe it spells out the secret of eternal youth?

Ruthless Warmonger

That's what the dude I'm dating (my boyfriend? I'm not sure really how to refer to him) said I was last night.

It was insulting and awesome all at the same time.

Exactly what I like in a man.

Have you tried S&M lol.

Marriage

All the gays are tying the knot. Marc Jacobs just got hitched. I'm happy for him but sad that he'll no longer be a swinging single dude. He always used to be in the tabloids for dating escorts and having threesomes. He even had an obsessed ex.

Now that he's spoke for will the scandals end? For my sake I hope not.

mike - 07/30/08 22:19
we all hope not

tinypliny - 07/29/08 20:16
This is so cool. You are like our who's-getting-hitched columnist!
And I am discovering celebrities and scandals I never knew existed!

Say it ain't so

Fitflops are all the rage now in NYC. I've know about them for a while because they advertise them in the Bliss catalogue and I'm always like "Really for $115 does anyone think these flip flops will really get them in shape? What happened to a stairmaster?"

Then I saw these advertised on the subway and I threw up in my mouth a little thinking "For the love of god- No."

And then I saw this picture and a little piece of me died. Why Julianne? Why? I know you starve yourself and live off of granola bars (http://perezhilton.com/2008-01-29-juliane-moore-starving-herself). But now this?

wow. that is just WRONG! bitch gives fashion a bad name. shame!!!

tinypliny - 07/24/08 22:19
I may well be in the minority here, but that thing looks great on her. The outfit is like one of those roman-messenger outfits. The footwear resembles those strap-up shoes that they used to wear back in the day. The toga-like thing she is wearing also matches the whole get-up. She looks a bit tired, that's all.

mike - 07/24/08 18:36
my soul just died a little.

flacidness - 07/24/08 15:05
Those are really nasty. fashion No No New York. These will most def be a phase. Hopefully we wont see those next summer.
