CALL her J.Lonely. Jennifer Lopez will be all by herself in the Hamptons this weekend.

Reminds me of Mariah Carrie (SP). After she sc%#&ed the entire city of New York, she couldn't find anyone to go out with either. These women go around giving it away for free. They complain when no mone wants to be near them. J-LO, why don't you call Monica Lewinsky? I bet she's lonely too.

[Teacup]

Exploding shoes. Now there's something to market.......NOT! Watch, someone reading this thread will come up with an exploding she. Oh no!

[Carolina]

One can only surmise what other activities were filmed in the motel that day.

A great work-out, that's fershure! ;-)

[Teacup]

Don't you just love Clown Shoes? I do.

[mountaineer]

Here you go.

Huevos Rancheros

Mmmm! I've been sitting here wondering what to have for lunch. Since I haven't had breakfast yet, this would serve for both!!

[BigWaveBetty]

Those are funny!

A friend and I tried to buy bowling shoes from the bowling alley when we were 15. Then 35 years later they become the rage. I'm so ahead of my time.

[BigWaveBetty]

Well ok, 30 years.....

[SuziQ]

Remember the age of "waffle-stompers"???

I had a pair of chukka boots when I was a freshman in college (1971) that I called "sh*t stompers" after I stepped in doggy doo and had to scrape it out from the soles with a stick! My mom hated those shoes, and the way I dressed in those days; flannel shirts or t-shirts, blue jeans, down to the waist, parted in the middle hair. Hey, except for the hair (which is short and going greyer every day), that would about describe me NOW! I've turned in the chukka boots for clogs though!

[anniegetyourgun]

Me too - and I love clogs! Just call me Northwest Woman! I even love flannel shirts....sad, eh?

[SuziQ]

Devastating derriere, huh? MEOW! Richard Johnson is gay, right?

LOL!! My niece lives in New Orleans, and she was with my sister one day when they ran into one of my nieces's friends who is homosexual. She had gained a little weight, and he immediately said "Girl, you got too much junk in your trunk!" How rude! Especially since this girl is no bigger than a minute to begin with! Do those guys just blurt out whatever they're thinking without regard for the feelings of the person?

[anniegetyourgun]

Those are lovely, but boy do they look uncomfortable.

Here's something I'll be measuring for, and ordering shortly:

The Little Griddle
plop it on your outdoor grill
voila

Little Griddle

[Happygal]

Woo-hoo! Thanks for the ping! *L* Although somehow I think if I lived in 'Tudor' times, I wouldn't have quite the same shoe fetish! *L*

[SuziQ]

The Little Griddle plop it on your outdoor grill

Hey Lod, your place is gonna be looking like the "Waffle House"! Come to think of it, it WOULD do a great job on hash browns like the WF!!

You could even do great stir fry like the Japanese place in the mall!

[SuziQ]

like the WF

DOH! I mean the WH (Waffle House)!

[Iowa Granny]

Thanx for the photo of the Earth Shoes. I had forgotten how truely ugly there were. I owned 3 pair before I moved from that phase in my life. I don't recall ever seeing suede ones,, mine were a luggage tan color.

[lodwick]

Yep - I expect to expand my menu considerably with the Little Griddle. They mentioned stir fry cooking at the web site - that'll be a new adventure at the lodwick household. ;-)

I'll keep you guys posted.

UPSGuy - get here with my freepercreeper chair - Now!

Gina shoes are handmade in England and absolutely to die for. They were the shoemakers for Princess Diana, who had the best shoes ever, bless her heart. The first time you slip your foot into one of these honeys, you will know why some shoes cost $1000. They are worth every penny ( but of course, I would only buy them on sale )
