400 Toes!


As I was about to start a post this evening I noticed that the previous total number of posts was 399, making this one our 400th post! I immediately IM'd Graciana and we decided to get together and find a way to commemorate this huge accomplishment. We started way back on December 4th 2007, and I can still remember how big a deal blogging seemed to be, having never done it before. Graci held my hand and got me started and we have never looked back, we have reviewed shoes & boots, traditional prim and sculpted, with feet and without, and we have tried to show of some of the best that our amazing SL creators have to offer.


We decided to put on the very first pairs of shoes we blogged and take a photo together. I just had to giggle when I remembered my first was Stiletto Moody's Bitch Booties, I wore these just the other day, still very much a fave. Graciana's first footwear post was the Sugar and Spice Boots from Lyra Muse and LAST CALL/VAMP. It is amazing how much has changed, including our appearances... love of shoes, however, remains.

We both want to give tremendous thanks to all the wonderful creators who have kept our shoe inventories bursting at the seams, you inspire us. A big thanks to Jonny Tobias and the others who have contributed their time and feet to model for us in the past, it seems that men come and go, but great shoes are forever! Lastly, and most importantly, our dear readers - who make it all worthwhile, thank you for your support and feedback, you mean so much to us.

Thanks for keeping us On Your Toes!

April Showers...

I recently got an email from Audrey from Plueys asking me to check out their rainboots, which is pretty funny considering the fact that I have no shoes that are rain-appropriate.

On their site, there are about 10 different patterns of rainboots with cute names like "Match Point" and "Origami Me."

My favorite is Tokyo Rain, which I might actually get. Check it out...

Apparently, it was inspired by "the bold and bright Harajuku culture," which is also hilariously apropos, given my latest post. I just really like the color palette and the drops remind me of this art I saw in the London Underground in 2006 by this Japanese artist, whose name I can't remember for the life of me.
