Do You Think Insurance Will Cover?....

Insertion of a shoe into one posterior region of a 10-year-old? After 27 warnings (perhaps that is the problem), one particularly adorable decade old child was threatened within an inch of his life for singing/whistling annoyingly while doing his homework. Did I crush his creative spirit by doing so? Did I ruin his psyche? Is his self esteem shattered? Uh, how about his mother's sanity?...Now that's what we need to worry about...Actually, I am probably certifiable right now anyway but I was incredibly afraid that this may jolt me back to sanity again and frankly, insanity is much more fun!

Must remind myself to use a shoe that I am not particularly fond of...must be of a pointy-toed nature...darn...I love all my pointy-toed shoes...Maybe Mark has...uh, no. Hmmmm...Must peruse Off Broadway Shoes to see if they have any replacements for the pointy shoes selected for the crime...I mean, procedure...

He is currently acting like "Teller" of "Penn & Teller" fame...was banished to silence for an unlimited period of time (am thinking adulthood)...

FOOTNOTE: This entry is ShoeDawgShoe blog-worthy because it is shoe related by the way!

EDITORIAL NOTE...

Do you love that I am now archiving entries by the week and not month? This change took place today and I am really excited about it (uh, do you really care?) It makes the whole "ShoeDawgShoe" experience so much more pleasant...you have less to scroll down through on the home page...although I am beginning to realize how verbose I am with every entry I write - but that's me, alright? Take a look to your right! ... You can click on a week and read the entries by week instead of scrolling through an entire month! Okay, maybe I really do need to get a life...who knew this would be so exciting to me?

....Is your popcorn popped? The Oscars (UH FASHION) will be "on" shortly!

NOTE: Uh, apparently the "Juno" screenplay writer that used to don 5 inch clear plexiglass heels, if you catch my drift, is going to wear the "slippers" -- It appears PR does a movie good...

THE BIG NIGHT...SHOES AND FASHION GALORE!

The Oscars are this evening and if you are like me, you are trembling with anticipation to see who has won the Best Supporting Actress in a Foreign Subtitled Animated Feature...Huh? I am waiting for the fashion and the shoes! Did you know that the famed Cinderella Slippers have sparked controversy this year?...Apparently the writer of the screenplay, "Juno" was asked by Stewart Weitzman (love him!) to sport the new slippers (valued at $1M) at the ceremony this year...When she found out this was just a PR stunt (HELLO? HAVE YOU BEEN LIVING UNDER A ROCK FOR THE PAST 20 YEARS OR HAS YOUR INDIE "SPIRIT" (literally and figuratively) FOGGED - AHEM - YOUR MIND?) Okay, maybe I pay a little too much attention to all of the fashion hoopla...Am giddy with excitement anticipating Kojo's assessment of the winners and the losers...NOTE TO SELF: Must get a life.

I actually am in a bit of mourning ... missed the Fantasy Fashion League Live Oscar Strategy Session on Friday...I am sure I was busy eradicating world hunger, saving the Carolina Heelsplitter Mussel in Lancaster County (this is a serious issue here in the Lancaster/York County area - don't mess with our mussels) or ... doing laundry and cleaning up cat vomit on the rug in the office...they know how to pick the most difficult rug to puke on -- I think they observe me with warped amusement, scrubbing and gagging at the same time....

Happy watching tonight! What do you bet we will see some fabulous and hideous creations tonight? I cannot wait!

RANDOM FACT: Did you know that Bob Mackie (designer to the stars) actually designed all of the costumes on "The Carol Burnette Show?" Even the Scarlet O'Hara curtain-donning episode...You probably think I am so smart but Carol (we're on a first name basis) revealed that on Oprah last week...SECOND NOTE TO SELF: Get a life!
