Footwear Part 1

Every season i get new footwear. You can tell a lot about a person from what they have on their feet. To clarify a certain issue with a certain someone (Paul), I own 28 pairs of shoes/boots. No it's not an addiction. I just have shoes for every occasion. There is nothing more unattractive on a woman or a man than ugly or dirty or broken footwear, or with the same shoes every day.

While I'm on the subject i find ballerina flats for woman so ugly. Can we move on from this trend that's been over since 2006???

These are my new Filippa K boots which i got because of the lovely Emma. You have no idea how happy i was when i saw them in the warehouse.

Thank you Emma you are the best!!!

Forzza Azzurri

The World cup has been underway for a couple of days now and for the very first time the Mundial is in Africa.

The planets greatest sport and most prestigious trophy! The world is watching to see who will take home the cup. Will it be Argentina? Brazil? Spain? Will 4 time champions ( 1934, 1938 , 1982, 2006) Italy will have to ferociously defend their tittle.

North Americans don't understand footbal and don;t understand the craziness and patriotic ways of the world cup. I can only say that we might make a lot of noise and take over streets but we don't burn down public property in the process.....

I love the world cup! Its such a great event, bringing people from all over the world to compete on who will be the best at the worlds greatest sport.

Soccer god and coach for Argentina; Diego Maradona said that if his country wins he will run naked through Buenos Aires.

Good luck to the Italian boys i will be cheering on at every game!

Forza Azzurri

Margherita Missoni

Every now and then an "It" girl comes along. Let them be heiress, models or singers. In the case of Carla Bruni its all of the above and first Lady of France.
Ah Carla... I love that woman.
Margherita Missoni is living up to her famous name. The gorgeous Italian heiress to the Missoni house is a pure delight. She is currently studying theater in NYC along with being an ambassador for the Missoni house. I wish her all the luck and if she acts as good as she dress then we shall all be amazed.

Gogol Bordello - Gypsy Rock

After enduring the opening act for what seemed hours. By the way we still don;t know who the bloody hell they were.

The gypsy punks finally took the stage after escaping the mash pit just in time. We found refuge on the second floor of The Metropolis. The smell and look of the people up there was more up to my standards. The bad was all i expected and more. I have rarely seen anyone give such a energetic and powerful show. They owned the stage! Not since Mick Jagger have i seen a front man "Eugene Hutz" move dance, sing, play guitar and dominate the stage. in other words pure magic !!!!!!!!

Their new album drops April 27, 2010. For those whom don;t know them here are some of my fav.

-Pala Tute

-Harem In Tuscany

-Santa Marinella

-Madonna featuring Gogol Bordello @ Live Earth - La Isla Bonita/Pala Tute

-Wonderlust King

Hydro Quebec Brought To You By Cellulite

I’m years behind on some stuff and I know it but some things just don’t interest me until I’m ready for them.
I had never seen Super Size. I wasn’t ready to pay $ to see that kind of thing. But the other day it was on TV, and it raised so many questions on people’s diet and why they decided to eat nasty fast food and processed foods.
Anyhow...
After discussing the documentary with a friend he was telling how we should take over weight people and put them into rehab. It would be much better for the countries health system to do something about fat people than help druggies get better. Fast food is a drug in its own way. The fat makes you feel good until you crave more.
It is an addiction to eat junk. More $ is spent to promote junk than the GDP of some small countries.
Meanwhile people don’t realize that eating that junk will cause you health problems and clog up our medical system. Which the day I’ll need to use it, will be impossible for me to do so. So why should I pay tax $ for something I wont be able to use properly???
A sheriff in south west USA is now making his inmates pedal in jail if they want to watch TV. The TV will work as long as you keep pedaling! He thinks procedures like these will keep criminal from committing crimes in his jurisdiction. Smart men and good way to save of energy.

The Quebec provincial government is raising taxes and augmenting the cost of several public services. Well I think we should put fat people on bikes and make them pedal for energy. Hydro Quebec brought to you by cellulite!

Sounds crazy but I’m really appalled at the level of laziness and the societty we live in.
