I'm on the Internet - I'm F* ing Famous


http://www.observer.com/2008/o2/blink-bling

On Sunday after guiltily crossing the threshold of American Apparel my sister and I were approached by a very obviously shy and awkward reporter. She wanted to ask some questions about eye makeup and so we really hammed it up for her as only sisters do best. I had just come from the Avon Breast Cancer Walk so was not wearing any makeup, but low and behold our charm and wit obviously impressed her into thinking I had gorgeously lined eyes and made her feature us as her lead. But I must admit I lied… I actually usually wear black eyeliner. This drives home my previous statements that I will never go into American Apparel again; it always makes you look stupid!

I want what i can't find










For the Fall I have been on a mission for a new pair of shoes that are not sneakers. I have boots from last year that are still good but one cannot wear boots everyday! My criteria are seemingly quite simple, but I find the stores are overwhelmed with all the same shit. This is what I want:

1) Comfort, because I live in New York and walk everywhere
2) Looks are important-so cute-and not hybrid weirdo shoes like Merrill’s and those foam thingy’s.
3) Something not everyone in the world will be wearing
4) I am broke, so they must be cheap!

This is what I keep finding EVRYWHERE:

1) Black patent leather loafers (cute but not when everyone has them already; see criteria 3 above)
2) Ankle boots with a heel (which obviously get knocked out by criteria 1 above)
3) Riding boots ( which I already have and don’t need another pair)
4) Ballet Flats ( always classic but no arch support)




Best I have found yet? Cute or Ugly, I can't decide... and they're not cheap!


I want something new and exciting, a shoe that can be worn with dresses and pants. A Classic- but Vintage always means uncomfortable in my experience. Is it impossible to get interesting shoes without spending a lot of $$$$. So far this is the best I have found, but overall I think the shoe market is really boring this season.

Any suggestions?
