Yep, more shoes...

 

Okay, okay, okay, I know that I promised not to focus too much on shoes...but LOOK!  This is the "Wordz Sneaker" by Jeffrey Campbell.  For those dayz when more complex forms of expression escape you...these could be especially effective if you make your argumentative points with your feet.

 

Available at Nasty Gal.  And one comment...I love the crazy style of Jeffrey Campbell shoes, and own a bunch of them, but they are a tad overpriced for shoes made overseas (and not in Italy or Spain), often out of nasty-smelling, man-made materials. 

Thought for the Day

It's a lazy Saturday, and I found the quote I've been looking for all week, from (Saint) Lenny Bruce, Long Island native:

If you're from New York and you're Catholic, you're still Jewish. If you're from Butte Montana and you're Jewish, you're still goyisch. The Air Force is Jewish, the Marine Corps dangerous goyisch. Rye Bread is Jewish, instant potatoes, scary goyisch. Eddie Cantor is goyisch, George Jessel is goyisch. Coleman Hawkins is Jewish.

I'm from New York(ish), and made rye bread a few weekends ago.  So much for that Catholic education....

And if you are looking for a great 70s film you haven't seen, let me recommend "Harry and Tonto".  That eccentric old lady putting the moves on Art Carney in the final scene?  That's Sally Marr, Lenny Bruce's mom.

Gabba Gabba Hey, it's Friday!

A self-portrait from earlier this year:  Ramones T-shirt, reading glasses -- the curse of an aging punkette.  Today's tidbit is an FYI about a cool blog recommended by a friend.  We (will always) need more women writing about rock and roll, and Homesick Subterranean is a fun and well-written spot by a promising fan.  Plus how can you not like a high-school senior who already loves the Ramones, snags interviews with Jorma Kaukonen and Nick Mason, and is willing to engage with Metal Machine Music?

The Doubtful Guest!

Happy 88th birthday, Edward Gorey! (this will only work through February 22)

Today's tidbit: Boots for spring!

 Although I never wear green, my color sense is registering this as turquoise, which would look fabulous in a boot for spring, with a long or a short skirt or even shorts, if you happen to be under the age of 25 and/or built like a sapling.  Check out the sky blue, too..I am a big fan of Jildor Shoes on Long Island (in physical space) and on the web (in virtual space).  They have a great selection and their sales are fab.
