Bazaar Bag & Shoe Special
Got my latest Bazaar and woo hoo, this month features non other than a shoe special. Metallics, chunky cork wedges and evening peep-toe glamour puss pumps are featured. The feature article ” The Magic of Shoes” by Patraicia Marx relays my sentiments superbly. Says Marx:
“There are many women who belive that the primary purpose of a shoe is to protect the foot from the ground. These people are not impressed with Italian craftsmanship, hand-sewn beading, or toe cleavage. They favor the life of the mind to a stacked heel, truth and goodness or whatever to an alluring ankle strap; the soul to the instep. I am not such a person.(Italics mine)
A friend of mine theorizes that women- and men too - who spend a lot of money on shoes have high self-esteem. Expensive shoes, the argument goes, look the same as inexpensive shoes to the eyes of most people. That is assuming that most people even look, which they don’t. Anyone who splurges on shoes, therefore, is doing so to please herself and no one else. Or something like that.
Anyway, if my friend is right, my self-esteem is alarmingly elevated.”
In my estimation, this Ms. Marx has a great mind. I like the way this woman thinks. And great minds think alike.
