LOL Mirrorball Shoes makes me think of Neil Young. Faux snakeskin/patent leather isn't musical, but sounds pretty cool. That and cool jacket-on-sale, and you are a stylin' Bluey. :D
Also: LOL at the Neil Young reference! I don't know why that never even occurred to me. I just called the other shoes the Mirrorball Shoes as a tribute to Vince Noir's Mirrorball Suit, since they're both covered in silver sequins. (Watch the clip from about 3:30 in, to see what I mean. *g*)
~grins~ Yeah, the Mighty Boosh is nearly impossible to explain to anybody who hasn't seen it. ("Um... there are these two guys, right, and they're best friends, and they're total opposites, and they work together... and they have psychedelic adventures that may or may not involve pantomime and musical numbers.")
But yes, I think "ballsy and confident" is a pretty accurate description of him. He's known for his outrageous costumes, but that one is pretty much iconic. And doesn't leave a thing to the imagination.
Aww, I'm sorry! I really am sorry somebody had to lose that game, because it was a great one. The Badgers did play very well, and I admit that I didn't breathe a sigh of relief of until the last minute or so. I was just braced for the worst, since MSU's coach has been out of the game for weeks now with his health problems, and I knew Wisconsin would be a tough opponent--they always are.
I'm bummed about the shoes, too, but they will come, and I WILL find an occasion to wear them, I promise. And the new shoes are gorgeous.
The jacket is here, but I honestly think it looks much better in person. It's more shaped on me, and for some reason, they don't show the lining properly here. That lining is what sold me on the whole jacket!
But at least Boise State won, right? Still, we were lucky: not every game is interesting, and the one we watched last night was a doozy. MSU has been making a lot of really gutsy calls this year!
Thank you! My nails are painted green with pride. :D
The shoes are quite amazing. I can't believe I found them. I'm going to try and take a picture, since I can't seem to find any online.
The record of BSU vs NMS is now 201 : 7 over the last four years. Yeah, we won. ;0)
But when it's wholesale slaughter like that, it's just not fun to watch -- last weeks OSU games was much more interesting, because they at least gave BSU a run for their money.
~winces~ Yeah, I always feel the same during the preseason, when the Big Ten teams are playing teams that act like it's an honor just to get invited. It doesn't feel like a fair fight... although sometimes it gets interesting, and Appalachian State beats U-M. *g* But it does take all the interest out of the game when it's such a rout.
No soup pictures, I'm afraid... the leftovers are already in their little pop-in microwavable containers, so they don't photograph too sexily now. *g* But I will post the recipe! It's super simple and quite tasty.
But! The jacket is here, though it looks much better in person--more shaped, brighter colors, and with the sleeves turned back to show the lining... which is not yellow, no matter how it appears in the picture. Plus, I've added a cheeky green scarf.
As for the shoes, I can't find any pictures online, so I just took some of my own very amateurish ones. *g* I'm trying to get them uploaded and posted now!
