Scene 1:
A dilapidated hall. The monthly scheduled meeting of Shoe-aholics Anonymous. A circle of seated ladies, subdued and looking sheepish, but very well shod. All eyeing each others footwear covetously.
Convenor; Ladies, we have a new member, here to confess her sins. Please make her welcome.
Me; Hi, I’m Carolyn and I’m …. (gulps and takes a deep breathe, lower lip wobbling) addicted to shoes.
All in unison; Hi, Carolyn
Yes, it’s true. I stay away from shoe shops as much as possible, in order to avoid wear and tear on the credit card… but look at my New Shoes!! Cool, no? I bought them on a recent day out with my friend J, my enabler and partner in shopping crime… These are going to be worn and worn and worn… I think they are tres stylish and they are as comfy as. Perfect for my lifestyle. Welcome to my shoe shelf(ves) new friends, I hope the other shoes make you welcome and don’t get jealous of your fabulousness.
Oh, and if I look a bit wwwwwindswept here, it’s because I AM. Very. This morning was like being in a windtunnel.

Great shoes!
Buying new shoes is one of my biggest "sins" too. I just need something new regularly. And that's the thing that can make me happy even when I'm in the biggest depresion. But I'm proud of myself now: I haven't bought anything since the end of spring…almost 3 month! =D
Oh, I love these shoes! You have some fun ones and some neat ways of styling them ….
I didn't used to have any desire to buy shoes, before I cared about how I dressed … then there was the WR refashion pledge around the same time, but you can still buy shoes … so now I have this a bit too.
love your shoe addicts meeting. he he.
I'm looking forward to seeing how you wear these. I think they are quite versatile. So, you are providing a public service as well.
Those are really FABULOUS shoes.
