4. I’ve been meaning to share this for a while. Catrina Horsfield introduced me to Fluevog. This is some serious shoe porn for people who have some extra cash. One of my favorite pairs?
Freakin’ Mary Poppins, y’all!
There are so many groovy pairs there, I don’t know where to start shopping. Something for the Steampunker in us all.
All right. I’m supposed to be doing work. I’d better be doing some.

Cath: Those shoes scare the hell out of me. If you wear them in Vegas, I’ll likely hide under the bed.
I have had four pair of Fluevogs (e.g., the satan-resistant boots I wore at VP last year), and two pair of those I wore to death. You can’t say anything better about a pair of shoes, in my opinion.
You’re safe, Eric. For the moment, these are fantasy shoes.
Robyn, you convince me more that I should make fantasy a reality.
