IF THE SHOE DOESN'T FIT

miss meghan has a new life lesson: do not wear the shoe that doesn't fit. miss meghan bought the cutest pair of pinky beige leather thong sandals with a tiny heel (1 1/2 inch) at the village shoe inn whilst in farmington.BUT looks were deceiving! the classic thong sandal turned out to be extremely uncomfortable when walking the new york city streets. especially in rain and carrying a VCR (don't ask). miss meghan navigated herself very carefully. she thought that the shoes were comfortable--how could they not be when the heel was so small? but the next day, miss meghan woke up with a pain in her leg and her back. oh the pain. childs pose didn't take care of it. and either did the the yoga teacher. miss meghan has to go see the acupuncturist to rid herself of the pain. and still the shoes sit there, looking so unbelievably, deceptively COMFY. miss meghan looks at them and thinks rationally since the heel is not high, she should be comfy in them. she thinks if she had better balance, or more core strength she would not have had the back attack. and so today is the day miss meghan says no to the uncomfortable shoe. even though she has only worn the shoe once. even though it sits and looks at her. she says NO! shoe i will not wear you. i will give you away in the lobby of my building. i will wear grasshoppers to and from the office. i will only wear shoes that are comfortable.

can i get a resounding yes from the back of the room? if you agree, shout YES! right now.

HONEYSUCKLE EVENINGS

oh.my.goodness. ann arbor was full of honeysuckle trees perfuming our walk from main street up to the bell tower hotel where we stayed overnight. ann arbor borders was deee-lightful. james and gail took great care of us, and all the peeps came out--steve and tanis and caroline and ian, rayray, scott fairchild and his lovely wife and baby, amy and jeff and baby brahm, judy and jane and their fun friends, and a few new friends who have shoe obessions just like little old me!

it was a sumptuous night of friendship and revelry and i even got to get my stucchi's on with peanut butter silk ice cream before bed!! mmmmm. the next day we hit main street for more fun and hung the gorgeous caroline who showed us all the jewels her dad bought in paris from the opera company. they were amazing!! insects and chokers and big earrings dripping with rhinestones. i wondered what character wore each piece. then stevie threw me in the back of his glamour van and gave mom and i a lift back to teh bell tower. we headed home for a nap and then ladies night out with mary, gramma c and gramma p, and had a good laugh or fifty over the size of our salads at california pizza kitchen.

today is work work work. i have a big proposal to get out and THEN i get to go swimming at grammas. i bought a new sun hat to go with my malia mills bikini! whee!

FANCHON WAS THE BEST THIS AM!

BRIAN WILLIAMS IS AS FUNNY AS STEVE MARTIN?

who else would find the humor in "lets get small" while being under attack in baghdad.

ALLIGATOR ANYONE?

steve martin was wearing the cutest special edition white leather celadon green lacoste trainers with red accent stitching in "in their shoes" this morning at the festival. he was HI-larious as we say in the west village. actually as i say in the west village.

last night the bash at the johnson estate on the water featured dj mariano who rocked the the rec room with an amazing mix. sean and i cut up the rug while macaulaey culkin hit the porch and ben stiller held court in the telescope room.

VIS A VIS

reminds me of voulez vous but it's not. it's the sweet little boutique that hosted my signing. we blew out of all the books in about an hour and a half! whoohoo! thanks to clay for the beautiful fresh flowers on my hand painted desk and to avis for being such a great hostess. all the girls came: lora, holly, leslie, jade, diana, and even some boys like jj and bruce.

Flip-flops or stilettos, shoes reveal a lot

We love them. We hate them. And we're always trying to find the most beautiful, most comfortable, sexiest or most utilitarian shoes. We know they ultimately shape the impression we make on the world.

It's no surprise to see a little book that not only interprets the meaning of our favorite shoes but also offers advice about how best to express our inner personalities and find soul mates. It's "The Perfect Fit: What Your Shoes Say About You" (Chronicle Books, $12.95), by Meghan Cleary, a New York writer with a penchant for cool footwear.

Fond of bare feet? You are free and easy and "add a breath of fresh air to any room," she says.

If ballet flats are your love, you were brought up with strong middle-class values and "iron out disagreements among friends."

The classic high-heel pump means you're likely reading the financial page, scanning text messages, making notes and drinking coffee simultaneously.

And as for the flip-flop, you're probably on island time, taking a slower, "more meditative approach" to life. -- Charlotte Observer

OH THE MISS MEGHAN

has been ever so lax in posting. did i mention the heat in nyc is so humid and hot that it is even slowing the internet connection down.oh my. so my pretties, here is my weekend in shoes:

friday night at august for dinner i wore for the first time in a long time my plain black calvin klein stilettos. there is something so comforting and classic about the black stiletto. it is the shortest route to feel immediate sexiness that i know. espcially if they are a little worn in, like a familiar friend. saturday i ventured to BEA and decided to startle the crowds by wearing my 3 1/2 pink python stilettos sandals. sadly the only thing that got startled was my back as i tried to lug the 35 pounds of books and catalogues around on 3 inch thick plush carpets. thank GOODNESS i brought my white havianas flip flops to change into. aaah. that was much better. BEA was fun--mary bisbee confessed her love for dansko clogs, and i confessed my latest obsession, which is also, gasp, clogs. clogs? yes who knew? i am feeling the artsy connected to the ground comfy vibe. hmmmmm. according to my book i am mellow and creative. creative yes. mellow? yes, when asleep.

saturday afternoon i admired jackies lavendar croc clogs which massage your feet in shiatsu points when you walk. and jc's vintage converse and honeys black leather tretorns which are looking very cool all worn in. sunday was a day of my CYDWOQ tortoire kitten heel sandals with the big leather flower on them and admiring margo;s sandals which were so pretty and flowery i couldnt believe they were birkenstocks! i found out they were a limited edition. VERY cute.
