I tried to buy a pair of shoes. I wish I had Tim Geithner on speed dial, because I really needed help deciding whether to "buy or not to buy"? Tim, Tim, Tim, that is the question. I was practically salivating as I stared at the fabulous Tory Burch sandals; oh and they came in red or yellow patent leather. I broke down and tried them on. So cute and almost comfortable. I had a color on each foot . I was shaking and a little nauseous trying to bring myself to pull out my Neiman's charge card. Ben Bernake, what's a girl to do? Save, spend, save, spend, save....I put them on "hold". I bought myself "time" not shoes. Much cheaper.
I couldn't stop myself, on to the next shoe store. I was crazed but focused. A pair of green, yes green Cordani sandals called to me from the shelf. As if hypnotized I asked to try them on. I needed to talk to President Obama, I needed government intervention! Help me I need regulators....or TARP money. I loved these sandals too. I was sweating and gasping for breath. Should I spend, spend, spend...buy both pairs in the name of economic recovery? Or save, save, save and have no cute summer shoes? Moments from fainting I put them on "hold" also. HOLD EVERYTHING!
I have no idea what to do. With two pairs of shoes on "hold" I'm in purchasing limbo and riddled with uncertainty. I think I'm going to pack a lunch and go try them on again. Perhaps by then someone from the Fed will have returned my call.

MAMA NEEDS NEW SHOES!!!! And when Mama needs new shoes everyone needs to get out of her way... Go Mama Go!!! Ok you are not my Mama and you don't have much money so you can't be my Sugar Mama either, I need a Sugar mama, can you get me one in Chicago? I need a new pair of Dock Martin boots, you get me a Sugar Mama and I'll get you all the shoes you want. Is that a deal?
Now back to your needs Gail. You need new shoes? Go for it, why not damn it! Heck you can get those Tory Burch sandals and the green Cordani sandals too, you will be walking proud "Chin up! Boobs out! It's show time!”... Who cares if in 2 weeks your electricity gets turned off, your car gets repoed and your fridge is empty, you have NEW SANDALS, green, red and yellow oh my!
You can walk around your house in the dark but at least your feet are protected... What? You need to eat? Who the heck invented food, rather starve than go shoeless. Why can't we live without electricity, there are candles? Car repoed? Well heck there is public transportation where you can show off your brand new sandals.
You can add the shoes to your closet and on your "Closet sale weekend extravaganza” you can display them as "brand New Merchandise"...
About government intervention; Barak won't be able to help you but Michelle Obama will. She has style. She will probably tell you to spend your earnings in shoes and a dress to go with the shoes and a blouse to go with the dress and a purse to go with the outfit and why not earrings, and accessories? The government wants you to spend darling, SPEND SPEND SPEND, it's GREAT to boost the economy in such a fashion...
I don’t need shoes really, what I need is new jeans, new shirts, a kayak, a Harley Davidson, a trip for two to Vegas or Bahamas, a 2009 Bentley convertible, a house with a huge pool, a cow because if Terry can have a cow I can have one too you know?... I want too many things and that’s the reason why I need a Sugar Mama… Just make sure she doesn’t work for AIG, Chrysler or Wall Street... Now go get your lunch, run to the shoe store and buy –them-shoes-mama” feel proud of contributing to USA economical rehabilitation. Meanwhile I will go pay my bills because someday you will call me and need a place to live. It’s a long ass walk from Chicago to Dallas but we all need the exercise… Mi casa es tu casa…
I know what you mean, I saw a pair of Walt Kozinski running slippers last week and, I swear I almost lost my mind. First of all they were black with white laces!!!!! Can you just imagine????
Me on MIchigan Ave; couple days of stubble on my chin, purple Mondovi sport jacket with the sleves rolled up 2" from the cuff. A black tee shirt, tight Peter Slobberoff jeans and Walt Kozinski running slippers.
I would be so svelt!!! I might even take a couple of running steps to see if I could attract a larger crowd - trip over a curb and have to get my nose fixed again. It would be worth it.
I didn't do it.
