Don't let piercing back pain keep you from looking glorious! Good strategy for keeping your parents from wising up to the new shoes, though so sad you had to sell them. Life is cruel sometimes. -EdgellACE, Way to go! Don’t let piercing back pain keep you from looking glorious!

Once my parents told me that I had to stop 'Wasting' money and they told me no more shoes. That didnt stop me, I use to buy them, store them in the trunk of my car for a couple of weeks, then I would sneak them into the house when they were gone. When I was finally able to wear my new shoes they would ask, "are those new?" My reply, "No, I have had these for ages, just havent been able to wear them!" Complete TRUTH! But sadly I had to give away like almost all of my shoes cause of a car accident. I couldnt walk in heels and that is what 80% of my collection consisted of. It has been almost 4 years since the accident and I can walk somewhat good in a pair of 2 1/2- 3 inch heels, I cant do it for long, but I will be damned if I go thru all my life with out heels, my own sort of continuation of physical therapy.

You'll have to fill it with beanie babies or something. Or develop some kind of weird spoon collection. Or win the lottery so you can fill it with LUSCIOUS SHOES. -Blanche, Man, that is depressing.

We need a shoe store that specializes in cute shoes for sizes <5.5, and then 10<. Then those lucky stiffs who wear 6-9.5 would have to be jealous. @Erika - I have the walk in closet with one of those modular closet systems, including a double height shoe cabinet (with grids), and I have been unable to fill all of the openings because I can't find shoes.

She might not have, but I probably would have thought it was hilarious. I make fun of my GIGANTOR status all the time ;) -EdgellACE, Oh man, I wouldn't know what that would be like. What do you do with that many shoes every week? Do they have their own room? I dream of a walk-in closet someday, with lots of room for shoes. I still have my canvas hanging shoe organizer from college! -Blanche, That cracked me up. She might not have, but I probably would have thought it was hilarious.

I do to adore Christian's shoes, can't afford them, but do love them! Completely agree that shoes are art! I remember the days I use to bring home 3-4 pairs a week, before I had my own bills that is. @Blanche - I feel you, I dont have a tiny foot I have a yard stick of a foot. Size friggin 11! What I dont get is I use to work at a shoe dept in a dept store while in HS, there were tons of girls who wore a size 11. Times have changed, chicks have huge feet, please produce these someone. It makes my heart sad when I see a FAB pair of shoes and they dont come in my size. I feel discriminated! They are FAB! I do to adore Christian’s shoes, can’t afford them, but do love them!

You can imagine that she didn't find it amusing when I would put them on and act like a little kid playing dress up. One of my college roommates wore a 10.

I remember a number of very unfortunate incidents where I tried to borrow your leather boots only to come to a deep understanding of Chinese foot binding. Also, I had no idea Nordstrom was stocking Manolo Blahniks. I'm kind of interested to go see what they look like in person. It's like going to the zoo, only better. -Blanche, Wow, that is a tiny foot! I'm on the opposite side of spectrum with my size 10's that few stores stock in all styles. You see, if you won the lottery you could hire someone to make custom shoes just for your feet. It'd be a win all around! -Delisa, I always remember you having cute shoes in high school.

But that's mostly thanks to my obscenely small shoe size (5) - a size many manufacturers have stopped acknowledging full-grown women might have to wear. It's not fun to look at shoes, even window shop, when you know that that even winning the lottery wouldn't allow you to wear them since even the smallest size manufactured would fall off your foot. If it weren't for that little issue I might actually like shoes. Shoe shopping actually makes me homicidal.

I don't know why, but I did, and could not understand why women loved them so much. Then for some reason, all of a sudden, I loved shoes!! And purses!! And I didn't hate pink quite so much. I blame The Pill, but it could be a myriad of things. I love, love, love shoes now for some inexplicable reason. And for anyone that was wondering, yes that was me you saw last week at Nordstrom molesting the Manolo Blahniks. =) For some reason when I was younger I used to hate shoes.
