Just Call Me Imelda...

My closet inventory reveals that I own 24 pairs of shoes and four pairs of slippers.

It may be 25 shoes, depending on if I remembered to count the pair I bought yesterday.

This calls to mind the drunken, jilted lover of Dennis Johnson's "Soul of a Whore:" "The woman claims to be the proud owner of forty-six shoes."

    The page ad above is hawking that beloved text, "Catholicism for Dummies".

    Sigh...

  • Well, I always say that it's not how many shoes you have but how cute they are. After all, one cute set of heels is worth so much more than a pair of sensible-looking walking shoes. You can have about twice as many pairs of cute ones with no remorse whatsoever. As for those 46 shoes, is that pairs or shoes, because assuming that's shoes, and that all shoes have a pair counted as well, that's nothing!!!

    See ya soon,

  • Twenty three pairs, forty-six shoes.

    Dennis Johnson is male, I hasten to remind you, so he thinks that twenty-three is excessive. How wrong he is...

    All my shoes are cute, even the sensible ones. I only have one pair of sneakers... which I forgot to count... that makes twenty-six pairs.
