These are the Chucks that Allison will be wearing with her costume when we go to Mickey’s Not So Scary Halloween Party at Disney this Thursday. We went as a family and picked out costumes on Saturday and to complete Allison’s I suggested that she get some purple Chucks. I think those are perfectly acceptable for a fairy costume. They didn’t have little green ones for Eva’s costume, though. So I picked Eva up some sparkly silver shoes instead.

This photo was taken with my new camera the Kodak M580. Disclosure: I got it from Kodak, free. I’ll be taking one solid month of photos with this camera and talking all about it once I properly get to field test it. If you go to my Flickr Account and look at this image and blog it up you’ll be amazed at how large you can make it and still see great detail. The camera is 14MP. That is huge. I pulled out my very first Digital Camera the other day, it too is a Kodak. It was a Kodak D260 (or 220) and the card inside was 128MB. I’ll have to take some photos with that one as comparison on how much the technology has changed.

I am such a candidate for What Not to Wear. Anyone want to come film me and my fashion disasters? Ah and for some reason I’m still pulling Peter Gabriel song titles as post titles.

My poor shoes. I love them, they look pretty loved don’t they. I’ve had them for close to 5 years. I only got them because my other shoes were so worn that if you laid them down they would be at nearly 45 degree angles. So I went out and found these shoes in both brown and black. You see, when I find something I like I stick with it and buy multiple copies. The black shoes are doing fine but these brown ones are so hacked up.

For a while the laces have been fraying and an utter disaster. I kept putting off new laces because, well I kept forgetting. So when I finally remembered this morning I picked up laces that looked like they would replace the existing ones. I ended up buying Boot Laces. Boot Laces are wicked long. I didn’t quite realize this until I had wrestled off the old laces. Now there was absolutely no way that they were going back on. So, the boot laces went on. They were so long that I had to wrap them under the shoe and then tie them. They did the job for the day.

So now I realize that I can’t keep wearing these shoes. It is time to replace them.

In non shoe news I am on my way to shedding the Not in the “I’m Not A Famous Blogger” moniker. I was interviewed by Forbes Magazine today and the New York Times the other day. I’ll be posting links to the articles once I see them up.
