I'll wear them in the bathtub and I'll write them a love song

It was one of those days that started out laundry from the night before, dishes from the last couple days and day time TV keeping me company while I swept and mopped. Elise napped for a long time, that made my heart happy. I had a friend that called in lazy to work, and after a brief conversation on what we would do...the Gateway is a point of wander. After getting there, or first stop was the Hot Topic. After trying to ask questions about what I was looking for over whatever bad DeJour was playing(you know the band that gives the biggest middle finger to the Parents and the man but costs an arm and a leg to purchase), we got out of there in a hurry. We decided on an ice cream, this woman came up to me expressing her awe about my daughter how beautiful she was and how she was a talent scout for this model agency. I thanked her, and thanked her actually what I said was"thank you, oooohhh thank you! My daughter is disgusting looking today...but thank you." actually what it was that from the the lack of my commitment to her hair(the combing there of) and the mess with the ice cream. AWESOME. We then wandered into one of the sweetest fashion boutiques in Utah( or what WAS the sweetest fashion boutique. Jared Gold the designer who made it in UTAH dumped our asses and moved on up to the west side. Hollywood kids, thats where you can find him). Like a light from above I noticed the sale sign on the shoes. Angels sang sweetly... and I took it as a sign to take a closer look at them with my toes. I picked up a pair of Grey suede and turned to our sweet little gay retailer and loudly demanded "I NEED these in Drag Queen size STAT".

Okay, lemme explain this. I have Drag Queen size feet. I was wearing a size 9 shoe by the time I was in Jr. High, and have slowly eased into a size 10. Positive having a size 10? In places where they have killer sales on shoes, I will usually find a pair of the most expensive shoes that are the prettiest things in my size for 5 dollars. The Negative? There is an over abundance of shoes in my size in a gold lemme', something that the sequence monster puked on, or something designed from my grandpas Orange and Gold socks. These shoes are CLEARLY geared to the men of The DRAG QUEEN nature, and they are buying 'em. I have been shoe gazing with another friend of mine who TOO has drag queen feet and she totally agrees with me about the style of the show with the size. She then in turns, tells a friend of hers who use to be a drag queen, and he said that his foot is slightly bigger then ours but could manage to squeeze his dainty feet into our shoes and POSSIBLY be comfortable.

With that LONG explanation...the little boy at the boutique ran in the back room to find my shoes, and came back with a pair that he said he had been hold for a special pair like us. The BC shoes were mint green, and so pretty. I threatened to purchase a pair of stir-up leggings. When he told me how much I started pulling out the cash I had in my back pocket to purchase, he then got the shoes I was looking for. I slipped on the shoes and without a second thought I yelled "SOLD". With all that, I purchased and we were well on our way. With what I spent...there was NO buyers remorse, but eagerness to pull them out of their beds and let the 1 year old admire her mommy's fashion sense. Thank you Seychelles shoes form making my feet look hot why I am doing the simple things in the home, like Vaccuming and the dishes. There has been more then once that Elise has dropped to her knees to touch touch touch their beauty. I never thought I would love anything more then my plaid Doc. Martins, but I was mistaken.
Just because you are mom doesn't mean you can't put on your fashion best. Trust me your dishes will be sparkelier, your whites will be whiter, and your house will clean it's self.
