Lego My Shoe


I do not buy expensive shoes and if I did I would surely step in something foul and ruin them on their first run. No one I know has a greater fervor for high heels than my older sister Becca, she just loves high heels, red, purple, silver, orange, turquoise, open toe, peep toe, mary janes, and her preferred heel of choice stilettos. My chic sister is determined to don her cherished jewels throughout her first pregnancy..... and I say you go girl!!! Shoes are a vital part of expressing your style and pulling together an outfit but when do the designers go to far? Such as the Balenciaga Lego High Heel shoe (pictured above). This toy inspired heel is priced at 4,075.00 and looks like a mutation of a rollerblade, high heel, and a pile of legos. I suspect that you wouldn't lose the shoe since it is brightly colored. And if the heel snapped off I could simply pull some legos out of the toy box...... a little glue here a trifle amount there and presto my heel has only depreciated by 1000.00 dollars and I have saved my investment. I enjoy high heels as much as any other girl but I draw the line at rhinestones and nix the legos.

Where's My Food?


So I recently saw a segment on the food network about odd restaurants. The place that caught my eye the most was Opaque. Opaque is a unique dining experience and there are only three locations located in San Francisco, San Diego, and Los Angeles. What makes Opaque unique? The dining room is pitch black, you eat in the dark and the servers have night vision on so that they can find your table. So if I happen to make it to my table without taking out another person or an entire table I will be lucky to get my fork to my mouth without taking out an eye. I checked out the menu online and the dishes are around 90.00. Now why would I pay 90.00 dollars for a dish that I can't even see? Plus what if I have to get up to use the little girls room? Do I then latch on to one of the night vision google goggled waiters or waitresses and beg them to drag me there? Or perhaps I won't need to, because I will not be able to find my water glass in the first place. Anyways I will not be visiting the nebulous dining room anytime soon. I feel that this is either a great weight loss plan or a tactical way of getting rid of white clothing forever. Hmmmm I wonder if they serve spaghetti?
