<p>Wee knee. Love that one too…</p>

<p>personally, when I read ‘inca’s’ post I visualize something like this: <a href=“http://ec1.images-amazon.com/images/I/41453CX1PNL._AA240_.jpg[/url]”>http://ec1.images-amazon.com/images/I/41453CX1PNL._AA240_.jpg&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

8182

<p>^ OMG that’s so funny.</p>

8183

<p>Turns out Wee Knee is trademarked! Who knew? </p>

<p>Perfect for parents with too much money on their hands…</p>

<hr>

<p>On the other hand, there is already artwork dedicated to Wee Knee</p>

<p>You have to have silver shoes because some color is always the new black.</p>

<p>I would love to follow your D around shopping. I bet I would learn something…</p>

8185

<p>I’ve got gold ballet flats and silver sandals. I wear them to dance parties.</p>

8186

<p>Exactly, the new black! I have two pairs of silver ballet flats. Love em! My policy is stock up on trendy things that you like well enough to wear when the trend is over and they disappear from the stores. </p>

<p>Wacky shoes = instant outfit, with 501s and a tee shirt. </p>

<p>And according to the NYT my Elvis Costello/aka revenge of the nerds glasses are back. Glad I held on to them.</p>

8187

<p>Ballet flats? For the vertically challenged? Dear oh dear.</p>

8188

<p>Cheers, that’s my driver’s licence picture. Geez, can’t a gal get some privacy in the SA? (It was a bad hair day, fyi). ;)</p>

8189

<p>I still regret that I didn’t get the hot pink converse basketball sneakers. <a href=“http://www.amazon.com/Converse-Chuck-Taylor-Star-womens/dp/B000NZKH2S/ref=sr_1_18/103-8931603-3364644?ie=UTF8&s=apparel&qid=1190947786&sr=1-18[/url]”>http://www.amazon.com/Converse-Chuck-Taylor-Star-womens/dp/B000NZKH2S/ref=sr_1_18/103-8931603-3364644?ie=UTF8&s=apparel&qid=1190947786&sr=1-18&lt;/a&gt; One of these days. :)</p>

8190

<p>I had Doc Martens. And I mean in the last ten years. Anyone else?</p>

<p>They, however, were black.</p>

8191

<p>Just got back from a trip - the William Tell Overture is hilarious! I</p>

<p>Can I still vote on weenie’s new name? I like Oui-nie.</p>

8192

<p>Doc Martens? Me, me. And I still have mine! Low oxford style black ones.</p>

8193

<p>Ah shoes. Hard topic. Size 5, wide (for a 5) and instep in the wrong place for ballet flats. Have found kids shoes, scandals and boots, that’s about all that works. For dressy occasions I wear character shoes, tan or black, because they come in my size. Heels vary by height. Not glamorous, but servicable.</p>

8194

<p>Yeah. Low oxford style black ones. I don’t know what happened to mine. Humph.</p>

8195

<p>Get another pair; instant edgy fairy!!</p>

8196

<p>

</p>

<p>Oh mathmom,</p>

<p>You fashionista!! D has a pair of the Converse Chuck Taylor All Star Hi Top Tri Color Raspberry/Pink/White. </p>

<p><a href=“http://www.amazon.com/Converse-Chuck-Taylor-Raspberry-womens/dp/B0009JKPUW/ref=sr_1_27/104-5268324-7028725?ie=UTF8&s=apparel&qid=1190976560&sr=8-27[/url]”>http://www.amazon.com/Converse-Chuck-Taylor-Raspberry-womens/dp/B0009JKPUW/ref=sr_1_27/104-5268324-7028725?ie=UTF8&s=apparel&qid=1190976560&sr=8-27&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

<p>Purchased them when she was in high school</p>

<p>Probably wore them twice. Are they destined to be classics?</p>

<p>Converse hi-tops: cute story about my son when he was 2. He didn’t then or ever have any interest in what he was wearing, other than to complain bitterly if he had an “itchy tag.”</p>

<p>My D, age 4, was doing some modeling for Polly Flinders (remember those CUTE smocked dresses?) and S, age 2, was along for the photo shoot. Somehow they invited him to be part of the fun. It was a “holiday” theme, and his job was to pretend to give a present to some girls. So they dressed him up in pants, suspenders, turtleneck, and RED Hi-top tennies. Very cute.</p>

<p>He fell in love with those shoes and had to have a pair. It’s the only “fashion” item he has ever loved, except for T-shirts with witty sayings!</p>

8198

<p>In the spirit of the “Anyone Longing for the Good Old Days” thread, I am seriously considering getting a pair of these:</p>

<p><a href=“http://www.sierratradingpost.com/i/67026,04,_Earth-Orion-Shoes-Lace-Ups-For-Men.html[/url]”>http://www.sierratradingpost.com/i/67026,04,_Earth-Orion-Shoes-Lace-Ups-For-Men.html&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

<p>Seriously.</p>

<p>D has Doc Martens and Converse All Stars but these are her favorites: </p>

<p><a href=“http://www.heelandsoleshoes.com/browser/68/product/CM7DB482591047604268-516/items.html[/url]”>http://www.heelandsoleshoes.com/browser/68/product/CM7DB482591047604268-516/items.html&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

<p>Alu,</p>

<p>D qualifies as “edgy” but its on the inside. She has no tattoos, piercing, hair dye, pasty white makeup or an overabundance of black clothing. She does have long dark hair with bangs, plastic black rimmed glasses, and ultra fair skin. And Kitty Shoes, with lots of different colors of paint on them (like just about all the clothes she owns…)</p>

<p>S also has black plastic glasses, but with Peter Frampton hair.</p>

8199

<p>EARTH SHOES with Anne Kalso’s negative heels! Do it! I wear them religiously; Harvest is my style, and my back is happy.</p>

<p><a href=“http://www.yogasite.com/yoga_store/e-harvest.html[/url]”>http://www.yogasite.com/yoga_store/e-harvest.html&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

<p>I prefer to think of my style as retro-edgy.</p>

8200

<p>I browse through the fashion mags at the hair place…and read how totally “out” my Crocs are…and how I should be paying $500 or more for the shoe du jour (that fit in with Steve Martin’s “Cruel Shoes” gig from a while back). I do switch colors in the winter. Of course, I have other shoes in my closet 10+ yrs old that I do wear, as well. I also usually buy purses from Walmart or Target. I’m hoping I won’t get lead poisoning from them, nor they be victim of any other Chinese recall…</p>
