measi's Diaryland Diary ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Blasts from the past Listening to... Darling Nicky... (no, really... I am) This was an entry that was supposed to be written before New Years... but I blanked upon it until I saw one of my co-workers wearing them to break them in for an 80's party she's going to this evening. For my fellow readers who are female and who were kids in the 80's... I present to you the goofy shoes of our childhoods, now classified as "Retro" shoes at a Journeys shoe store near you... Roos, people! Those sneakers that had the brilliantly asinine idea to put a zippered pocket on the side of your foot-- a pocket that maybe... MAYBE was large enough to put a beaded friendship pin in... or if you were a daring enough teenager to wear such goofy things, a condom for a tiny little penis. (because condoms sitting next to sweaty feet all day is oh-so-sexy, after all). And not only are they reissuing the standard Roos sneakers, which were deadly enough in their color schemes... but they've also reissued the high tops that, while comfortable as hell, have absolutely no sole to them whatsoever. I had ballet slippers with a thicker sole than these suckers. Next thing you know, they'll bring back Hypercolor clothes... just you wait... we'll all have our body heat showing through our clothes, revealing the oh-so-attractive bra and pantylines again... :) 2:37 p.m. - 23 January 2004 ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
