I got a call from my lady. "Come down quick," she said. "There are cheap shoes sales going on, and I got a pair saved for you." So I met her outside a shoe store on Broadway. It's one of the stores I pass by on the way to work everyday but never thought about dropping in. For those of you who know me, I'm the biggest slob there is. I wear whatever's there. But the fact that I've been wearing same black sneakers my sister sent me a while ago (she works for Columbia Sportswear which is great. Thank you Yoonmee!) had been bothering my lady. She was determined to get a pair of Summer shoes for me for a while.

At a first glance, this pair was not very unusual.

"Aren't they cool?" my lady said.
Fragile: Handle with Care? Then I realized there are people's faces inside the shoes.

There were pictures, of Andy Warhol for the right foot and Candy Darling for the left. The pair was on sale for twenty dollars. I tried them on. Squishy! The idea of Warhol and Darling under my heels made me giddy. My lady eagerly paid twenty dollars for them.

I don't care if you accuse me of being hipster-ish at an old age. I'm happy to report that their faces are finally in their rightful place.
Ohoho. Gosh darn, I miss you guys.
