The Perfect Pair...

People of the 'Retail/Real' World

He he he - u walk into the general place it would be obtainable from and BAM! u c it....It is almost whispering your name....U feel an attraction like none before and make your way over to where the connection begins....Sheepishly you pick them up, oogle, smile, take a deep breath and politely and with great panache take a seat to slip them on...

You remove them from the box...You feel the material, smell the freshness of the soft inner sole, (quickly tug on your overly worn currents and shove them to the side, not wanting the fresh pair to see them...) Then you slowly and almost memorably slip Cinderella's Slipper on (the fairytale is REAL)...

What a perfect fit!!! They feel heavenly and you know you have to have them, no matter the cost...no matter the consequences. U r immediately in love and your heart is singing the sweetest tune (butterflies are fluttering amongst the other forest creatures joining the tiny birds in your song of completion). You walk out after delving into the red line on your credit card, but its okay cause they are stunning!!!!

So you have just obtained the perfect pair and when you get home you are eager to try them on with as many outfits as possible and strangely, they go with almost everything (well for now they do) ;-).... 

They are officially your favorite pair and you live in them; to work, drinks, dates, socials - you name it, you wear it....And they complete you. They give the confidence and the inner nudge towards perfection... Stand back world and Snow White, Cinder-freakin-Rella is in town....

Oh so my point then hey...He he he - well personally i think relationships are like a new pair of shoes - (giggle giggle)...

You find the seemingly perfect pair (and yes there are those few who do find the perfect pair) and you love them to bits. You are over the moon and show them off to the whole world. So excited, so happy, giddy one could almost say....

Then a few things could happen....

You wear them out - to the point of no return where the sole is thin and the heals have been replaced over and over...You just can't part, but know that all good things come to an end. The lessons have been learnt and you can learn no more...You part sadly (really this could take years) and say your final goodbye...Never to own a pair like that again...Lol

Or, the heels break within a month and you are terribly disappointed. Its a case of customer complaint or chuck to the curb, depending on how much energy you are willing to spend on them... ;-)

Oh don't forget those that give you terrible blisters. You know that they are bad for you, but for some crazy reason, you just can't NOT WEAR THEM...

Mmmmmmmm, i just bought a new pair of shoes recently (literally speaking) and let me tell you, they are stunning...I'm still in phase one...Lol...

Its strange how similar it really is - the excitement, the 'pea cock' stage, the I'm-use-to-u stage, the please-don't-break (even though you know its coming) stage, the denial (no they are not broken!!!) stage and then the goodbye....Adieu!!!! (wiping away a tear as you finally wave bye bye....)

And then...well, you mourn, u compare, u miss until...

He he he - u walk into the general place it would be obtainable from and BAM! u c it....

(giggle giggle, nudge nudge, wink wink)

U know u love me, new shoes and all
