“I still have my feet on the ground, I just wear better shoes.”

Taking a break from politics today (even though it would be fun to comment on John McCain not knowing how many homes he owns), to blog about the frivolous – shoes! Oprah Winfrey said that sentence and she ought to know since she can afford the fanciest designer shoes in the world. I’m reading a novel titled Shoe Addicts Anonymous by Beth Harbison that is just the right kind of frothy fun after a day filled with five-year olds and writing deadlines. As one reviewer put it, Harbison’s book has “heart and sole.” I think footwear lust comes from not needing to worry about size – can anyone else explain this passion?
