I was watching a special on TLC last weekend about Proteus Syndrome, where people have atypical growth of certain parts of their body. One of the interviewed was Mandy Sellars, a beautiful woman from the waist up, and elephant woman from the waist down. She has to frequently get custom made shoes because even at age 33, her legs and feet continue to grow. My question was why didn’t/don’t they just amputate the legs and wear prosthetics, not only for cosmetic reasons but for mobility?

What do you think of these High Tide Heels? Are these real or are they a joke? Snopes says urban legend. Not sure I could find anyone that could walk in these. I know I couldn’t. They would make for interesting footprints on the beach.

Payless is once again offering its BOGO Sale! (Buy One, Get One Half Off - hmmm, shouldn’t they call it BOGOHO?) This sale is offered both instore and online, including everything in the store, even sale and clearance items. I browse our local store, but I prefer to order online at Payless.com as they offer more selections and more sizes (including wide widths and plus sizes). Plus they offer free shipping with a $50 order and/or free instore shipping.
P.S. If you daughter needs ballet or tap shoes, this is best place and time to order them while on sale!

When I first skimmed the name of these shoes TOMS “Inspire Be the Change Flat” for some odd reason (and remember my eyes are still a bit fuzzy from Lasik enhancement surgery), I thought of “changing a flat tire” (my friend just had a flat) and figured these shoes were made of recycled tires, thus inspiring good for the environment, blah blah blah.
Maybe I do still need reading glasses. The “Be the Change” is from one of Gandhi’s most inspirational quotes and is repeated all over the shoe, “You must be the change you wish to see in the world.” No recycled tires involved. Just a soft suede footbed and textured EVA sole, available in Black on White or White on Black. And comfortable to boot.
And the best part? For every pair of these shoes purchased (they are only $42 from ShopBop.com plus free shipping), Toms will give a pair of shoes to a child in need! So saving a child sounds like a better choice for the environment to me. Buy yours now!

I’m all about good deals and sale items. Just ask my daughter as I always quote “every things goes on sale”. So today when I am looking for sale shoes on Zappo’s, I came across these Taryn Rose shoes that are on sale for 25% off. The Clear Nappa/Mesh open toe design is still $356 and the Cecily Zebra Haircalf open toe pump is $446. Really that is not a sale in my eyes, and they are not even cute.

My friend Paul ordered these leather fisherman sandals.
He was explaining to me that he can’t stand thong style sandals, and he likes to have a pair of closed toe semi-dress sandals.
While women can wear sandals from flip-flops on the beach to four inch heels at a event, no men’s sandals qualify for semi-dress. However, if Paul chooses to order these sandals Orvis.com, I will not hold it against him.
H.S. Trask Fisherman’s Sandals are available from Orvis.com $139
