But Julenie did not have $150

21 Nov

When I was a little girl there was this book I made my mom read so many times she knew it cover to cover by heart, and can still recite it from memory to this day. The book was Suzie Goes Shopping, a real childhood literature gem I assure you. If you have children, do not read it to them because if they are weird like me they will form a deep seated attachment to it.

Real talk: in this book this little girl piggie is going shopping for her mom & picks out all this delicious stuff (like pie and muffins and other carb-ridden goodies) that she’s going to buy. Except her mom only gave her $1 and instructed her to buy a loaf of bread. Right now I see these white leather extremely limited edition Converse and I think to myself, “fuck me, I want those.” And in the back of my head I hear, “but Julenie did not have $150 to spend frivolously, she had $15 and plans to go to the museum.”

You have to admit, they are fucking gorgeous. Not to mention they go on sale tomorrow… ugh! (I wear a size 7 mens, potential benefactors.)

    So will the museum take Paypal?

    Seriously….size 7? What keeps that 6 feet of awesome from tipping over?

    Well that’s a size 9 women’s? But honestly, I know my feet are kinda small. Of all my shortcomings in life, that’s one I’m pretty comfortable with.

    Nobody takes PayPal, John. Except eBay and varying small time internet retailers. ;)
