The New Swing Pad

Mrs.MM loves my feet, she says they're "sexy". I can't see the attraction myself, feet don't really do anything for me at all.

Evil killer boots of death - now they sound like fun.

mmmmmmm....not really. I'm dressed a little smarter than usual today, for obvious reasons. my older EKBoDs are red. They're quite sexy.

Blood Red by any chance?

And knee length? 😉

Not knee length - my calves are too muscly for knee-length boots (that's what I tell myself anyway).
Their colour is "Oxen Blood".

Why do women give basic colours odd names? I really have no idea what "burnt orange" is and now you've added a new dimension to red too. 🙁

I didn't name them. Clarks did.

Not pointing the finger at any one female here, its just an observation that women tend to have obscure names for colours that men don't understand. I think its a secret language only girls are taught in school.

No really. You don't know that a woman came up with the name. And I did at first refer to them as red. I think it's a language anyone could learn from catalogues.

I hate to sound silly, but why don't you try buying friendly boots of lovliness next time?

I s'pose, I'm not much of a shopper and don't really look through catalogues. I tend to head straight for a music shop, spend all my money on CD's and then hope Mrs.MM will buy me some nice clothes.

Seems to work a treat so far.

No such thing. What with the ridiculous length of trousers today, one is forced to wear heels. Although I prefer my three inch high trainers immensely.

3".... my word thats just over 76mm!

(Sorry, thats the engineer coming outta me)

I'll take your word for it. I know as much about fashion as your average gnat (though maybe a well-dressed gnat). You have my sympathies...

they're very comfortable

In that case, you have no sympathy at all. Except as reagrds to later today.

What he gives with one hand, he snatches back with the other.....

why do i have no sympahty? Thought i would dress smart for my viva. can hardly wear jeans and trainers, like i do every other day!

Oh blimey!

Ok, look, you have no sympathy about painful boots, but LOTS about how modern-day fashion and life obligations strip you of comfy choices of clothing!
