I'll have to bookmark it and reread it when I am tempted to waste money on many pairs of cheap shoes, rather than saving up patiently for one fancy pair... Such a charming tale!

The particle borrowed heavily from the yelp reviews, though. That's not very classy journalism. He seems like a nice man. The particle borrowed heavily from the yelp reviews, though.

I have a pair of uggs. Of course, they've never been worn off my property. I use them as slippers when its cold out. I have a confession. I have a pair of uggs.

La BellaDonna suspects that he thinks the notion of deliberately damaging the good leather boot to look "worn in" to be the complete foolishness, which it is. This is the man dedicated to the <i>preserving</i> of the shoe and boot, and yet people want him to deliberately inflict the harm? Foolishness, I tell you. Indeed, La BellaDonna would be delighted to have this icon return her beloved Butteros (after nearly seven years of the near-daily wear) to their pristine newness - or as close as one might reasonably come thereto. A stitch is needed here and there, the lining, it needs to be mended over one instep, the welting, it is somewhat cracked; but it is from the honest toil, and the many weary miles of supporting La BellaDonna through the vicissitudes of daily life, that this wear has occurred; not through the foolish vanity of the celebrity, who wishes to pretend that he or she has done something other than step from a limousine in the brand new boots.
