My Fluevogs arrived

[np_complete]

They intimidate me slightly. While, by strict definition, this may be a decadent era, it is also an era with an aesthetic of brushed steel. Shoes of extravagant design (curved heels! embossed suede! platforms!) seem extravagant indeed - not just in price, but in the aesthetic they assert.

I am thinking hard about what I own that might be worthy of those shoes.

I also figured out this evening that I have been fairly miserable lately, and lying to everybody (including myself) about it. But I hope to get better.
