Sneakers in Paris

Before I went to Paris I looked online to see what people in Paris were wearing. I don't mind others knowing I am a tourist (because I am) but I didn't want to stick out too badly.

One thing that every site said was that no one wears sneakers, and women wear heels. So I brought low-heeled boots, higher heeled shoes, and a pair of non-sneaker flats. I thought my feet were broken the first day, after walking all over Paris, over cobblestone streets, and through the Louvre.

Sneakers? They were everywhere. Whoever said that Parisian women wear strictly high heels has never been to Paris. A few women did have heels on, but they looked like they were going out somewhere at night. For daytime, women wear flats or sneakers. They aren't stupid. I mean really.

Of course, the sneakers were clean, and were more of the Chuck Taylor type than Nikes.

Oh, and they wear jeans too.

The photo is one I took of the Eiffel Tower. I don't know why it is rotated.

Thinking

It has come to my attention (from various friends who are tired of looking at stupid belly button tattoos..) that I haven't been posting much of anything.

I am sorry.

I was in Paris last week. That was freaking cool. I saw some majorly wonderful stuff. Here is an example. The dude is like totally thinking.

More Weird Belly Tattoos

I loved the disgusting cat tattoo so I found these others that utilize the belly button for art's sake. Well, so to speak.

Weird Tattoos

As I was looking around for a tattoo design that was tasteful and meaningful, I came across a few that were hilarious and/or horrific. Here are some of my top favorite awful tattoos.

Sent to me by my friend J (after hearing that I was looking for a cat tattoo), this one just hurt my eyes!











This guy had eyes tattooed on his eyelids. Er... I don't think so!









OK now this is kind of cute, but... maybe not!

Say Yes to Ink

It's true. I am going to get a tattoo. I've pretty much settled on the design, which is a black cat like my sweet Cujo. Here is one of my favorite pics of Cujo. He is doing what he does most of the day.



Here is the design.


I'm thinking of getting it on my lower back, as a tramp stamp. What do you think?

Romney and KFC

A friend just told me that Mitt Romney ate Kentucky Fried Chicken when he was on the campaign trail. And he removed the skin!

What is the point of eating KFC without the skin? Is this some weird Republican ritual?

Hook Equity

I came home and tried to hang up my coat. It is my total winter coat - sort of like a sleeping bag, but a coat. Very nice and warm. But that's not the point.

I came home and tried to hang up my coat. But I can't. He has all the hooks. There are 6 hooks on my coat rack, and his coats take up all 6.

I have a total of 2 coats that I need to hang up for everyday use. Why do you need 6? I want hook equity.

Have you had that problem?

The art is Givanni Boldini's Putting on her Dress. I don't have a date for this, but it is probably the 1870's. You know she will need a coat to wear with this dress. I hope she has hook equity.
