What is up with the only titles I can come up with being from songs? I guess it’s a side effect of that music binge I spoke of yesterday.

Today, I’m a mono­ma­niac, so I guess I’ll just have to write about what is on my mind.  All that is occu­py­ing my thoughts is the newest of my obses­sions, the Luc­ch­ese L7000:

I found them this morn­ing, on a rab­bit trail after look­ing online for local sup­pli­ers of Doc Martens.  They’re hand made, and come in nar­rows, and just look at them!! Oh, there’s other boots on the Luc­ch­ese site that I love, but do you see that shoot­ing star?! And look at the pretty choco­late brown color and the detail that’s per­fectly sim­ple.  No one else will even think of wear­ing them, either.  The reviews for Luchesse boots all rave about how they’re absolutely com­fort­able, and even more beau­ti­ful in per­son.  I’m con­vinced that these sen­su­ous, deca­dent boots were made for me.

Yes, I have a shoe thing, and also a leather thing. But usu­ally, there’s no com­mit­ment or drive. I like look­ing, and I can be fine with­out touch­ing. These boots are dif­fer­ent. I intend to own these boots, and not one day when I’m a grownup.  They are as good as mine, I’m telling you all right now.  I’ve never spent more than $120 at a time for any­thing that goes on my feet, and that’s my New Bal­ances.  These run from $550-$700, depend­ing on the ven­dor, and will serve as the per­fect tan­gi­ble incen­tive to get my butt in gear and make some excess money.  I’m not going to blow any of the bud­get on these pup­pies, no mat­ter how my feet ache for them, so I really am going to have to get cracking.

    Those are gor­geous. GOR. JUS. Wow.

    I would also like a pair of really nice boots. I’ve never had any. And I don’t mind spend­ing in excess of $100 if I know it’s going to really really last. (My mother was hor­ri­fied that my grandma spent $116 on my first pair of Dr Martens. Fif­teen years later when I was still wear­ing them she was some­what less hor­ri­fied.) The pair that caught my eye at Belk are Frye brand and over $300, so yow. I feel you.
