Your favorite indulgence is.....

LOL- that is the price point of all of his shoes. The cheapest I have ever seen is $385- but the tend to run from $500-$800.


I found this on a Manolo Blahnik fan site- and I think it describes it perfectly- at least for me, why these shoes are so special

"When a woman buys a pair of Manolos, then, she buys into this story of craftsmanship and artisanry. A woman willing to spend $500 for a pair of shoes is buying into the fantasy, not entirely without truth, that these shoes have gone through an exodus to arrive specially for her. The Manolo creation story is one that weaves together handsketched hand-sketched designs from the artist himself, meticulous selection of fabrics and materials, Blahnik's own assemblage of the shoe's basic parts, then painting, adorning, refining etc... As a woman steps into the soles of her Manolos, then, she marks the end of their elaborate journey and the beginning of hers. "

I would dare to say I fall 'in love' with certain pairs of shoes. If I am down or depressed sometimes I will look at them and just will imagine wearing them out, or what I can wear them with and it makes me feel better.

Shoes- Christian Louboutin, Manolo Blahnik, Guissepe Zanotti, a designer shoe is my favorite indulgence.


These are my fave. Christian Louboutin 120 mm Pigalle heel. HEAVEN.

Playing MAME is fun, e.g., games such as DoDonPachi.

Although I'd have to say a more favorite indulgence of mine is getting a good dicking.

Elaborating on the above, ingesting an entheogenic dose of LSD or psilocybin mushrooms is very intense and spiritually rewarding.

Watch a video clip of why late comedian Bill Hicks (R.I.P.) is glad that (psilocybin) mushrooms are illegal:

A Vision

In 1976 my wife, Allyson, and I had an experience that changed our lives and our art. We sacramentally ingested a large dose of LSD and lay down. Eventually a heightened state of consciousness emerged in which I was no longer aware of physical reality or my body in any conventional sense. I felt and saw my interconnectedness with all beings and things in a vast and brilliant Universal Mind Lattice. Every being and thing in the universe was a toroidal fountain and drain of self-illuminating love energy, a cellular node or jewel in a network that linked omnidirectionally without end. All duality of self and other was overcome in this infinite dimension of spiritual light. I felt I had been there before, or perhaps in some way was always there. This was the state beyond birth and death, beyond time, our true nature, which seemed more real than any physical surrounding and more real even than my physical body. The clear light matrix arose out of a field of pure emptiness. As utterly convincing as it was, when the light receded, I opened my eyes to behold Allyson and our bedroom once again. I was somewhat shocked to learn that she had experienced the exact same transpersonal dimension at the same time, which we determined by our descriptive drawings and discussion of the awesome beauty of the state. This experience of the infinite net of spirit transformed our lives and gave us a subject that became the focus of our art and our mission.

Allanah,

But why? Can't you just get some for $30.00? Who will know? KTLA here in southern California just did a thing on men's shoes the other day and they cut up the soles of two identical slip-on type of casual shoe, one a famous name; the other one from a discount shoe source.

Guess which one was better for the foot? Yep, the cheap knock off in this case.

Loud Music when to sing to when I'm alone, my sketchbooks, and designer handbags.

Well put. I prefer Moet & Chandon White Star or Veuve Clicquot. Both offer great quality at a decent price.

Darling, I don't buy my shoes based on comfort level. That is a sin for me. I buy them because they are beautiful and I want to wear them. I buy
them because I will good feel better in them.
