I was (most pleasantly) surprised to find it chock-full of great architecture, lovely parks, funky neighborhoods and a decidely hipster vibe once you got away from the strip-mall ambiance of the main thoroughfare. My humble suggestion: go with an open mind (and the great shoes suggested by the Manolo!) This Bronx girl recently went to the capital of the Confederacy to attend a family wedding.

Unfortunately one-size- fits-all is not true when it comes to shoes. Surely there are those in NYC and Richmond who'd like to have this one in AAAA or C!

Of course, I don't know the boyfriend's family, but Richmond can be pretty cool. Check out the old tobacco warehouse district. And, some great architecture in the formerly kinda depressed but now lively downtown. Love the shoes!

I am from Richmond, and I could not have chosen better myself. Rachael is sure to fare well in such shoes if she also takes with her a large dollop of tolerance for the absurd, particularly if the boyfriend hails from the West End, where ceremony and absurdity go hand in hand. I am also not at all surprised that the Manolo, being the class act that he is, avoided the usual droll stereotypes, though I am quite sure that I would have been greatly amused if he had not. :) I must congratulate the Manolo on finding the quintessential Richmond shoe.

She suggests to the Beloml that the part of the "single female New Yorker," it was covered in the description of "Matthew McConaughey and Jennifer Anniston," and La BellaDonna is reasonably certain that it was not the Matthew McConahottie who was playing the female New Yorker.
