Yes, a rare political post for me.
No, not because I don't care...but because there's just TOO many great stuff out there!
(Oops, there's a swear in there! *teehee!*

I'm a couple of months too late for Sweet & Meaty Brad Brown's "Big Sexy Uncle Baseball Cap Giveaway"...

Update: Oh. My. GORRRD!!! I WON BRADBROWN'S HAT!!! Oh happy days!!!
(Thankyouthankyouthankyou oh "sweet & meaty one!")

To which I responded:

Even though I was months too late, the gods (and Brad) smiled upon me! (and yes, I am aware "hyperbole-ically" is not a real word.)
Watch out for a pic of me wearing it...and nothing else! (...now ok...*that* would be creepy. Sorry.)

I LOVE this pic!

...you had me at "leopard print."


(pic nicked from NiceKicks!)



Yes. I finally copped the "Ferris Bueller" SB's.
For weeks and weeks I told myself I wouldn't...but that dang "no-more-kicks-wagon" is a convertible! *Gah!*
(That I scooped them out of the "sale bin" is a small consolation though!)

I just CANNOT say no to a good (or bad) "leopard-print."
Nor to a "safari-print", or an "elephant-print" (in any incarnation).
And, I guess, "gum-soles"...and perhaps "3M."

Oh...and "speckled midsoles."
