Valentino Side Bow Peep-Toe Pumps For the Tuesday

Manolo says, it is Tuesday, and you are back at your desk, Christmas barreling down upon you like the runaway train filled with stocking stuffers and mistletoe.

You have tried to minimize the damage this year by doing much of your shopping on the computer, although you know, in your heart, that nothing is better than shoving your way through the crowds at Toys-R-Us and fist-fighting with the other parents for the last Mr. Squiggles Zhu Zhu Pets Hamster.

This struggle for the perfect gift is so atavistic, so primal, so brutal, so… jolly!

Sadly, all of this computer shopping has domesticated your annual holiday struggle, and frankly, although it has made your life less angsty, you still miss the combat.

What can you say. Ever since you were the little girl you have associated Christmas with knocking people down at the mall. Gary blames your mother.

“That woman,” he said one day as she drove away in her Cadillac Eldorado, striking the neighbor’s hedge, “is a menace.”

Yes, your mother is the menace.

But, in her favor, she fought purse-and-nail to make every Christmas the best ever. Indeed, your sister still has the Talky Crissy Doll she joyously unwrapped on Christmas morning, 1972, although, sadly, since early 1976, Crissy’s hair has been stuck in the Dorothy Hammill bob, unable to grow thanks to your attempts at giving her the makeover.

You know what? Maybe a quick trip to the mall wouldn’t hurt. Just pop in, shove the couple of shoppers to the ground, and pop out bearing the sack of presents.

Good times, good times.

Look, here is the beautiful Valentino Side Bow Peep-Toe Pumps to sooth your savage breast.

    Yup, I had both Crissy and Velvet, and I loved them- in fact, they are still packed with their mod outfits in the box at the back of the closet! So much better than the Cabbage Patch lumps that my friends’ younger siblings pined for!

    Hah! The Talking Chrissy doll, she has nothing, nothing! on the Chatty Cathy! … at least not in the heart of La BellaDonna, whose father went out on Christmas Eve to obtain this treasure for his daughter. It is possible that La BellaDonna’s father never quite recovered from this bout of suburban frenzy.

    It would be lovely to have the Christmas Tea with the SusanC and her two treasures! All of us in our Christmas best; the three dolls, they could talk with each other, while the “adults” poured tea …

    Hmmm. There is, quite possibly, a Twilight Zone creepy Christmas special lurking there …

    I will have you know that Mother backed into the neighbor’s hedge because she didn’t want to spill her martini on the white leather interior of the El Dorado. Gary needs to examine his priorities.

    I think every woman needs at least one pair of red shoes.

    And when you’re going to have one pair of red shoes, they should look like this.
