People who get all excited about fancy cars have never had shoes like THESE!

$15.00 at a consignment shop! Don't adjust your screen: those are 5 inch heels! ;)



They're Steve Madden, too; normally I don't care much about labels, but I hate it when secondhand shops charge you $12-$15 bucks for a cheap department store brand I could have bought on clearance for half as much.

ETA: since my Flist seem to be a knowledgable, learned bunch, I thought I would pose you all a question. I bought these shoes from a chain of secondhand stores called Plato's Closet. Does anyone know WTF the name means? Is it a reference I'm not getting? Is there a passage in the Republic where Plato sells one of his old togas for cash?

To keep this post from being completely shallow, a plea to all the audiobook fans!

I have an Audible.com membership, and I get a free download every month. What should I go for this month? I always have a hard time deciding. So tell me: is there something out new that I should check out? An old favorite that's simply amazing? HELP!

"Assassination Vacation" by Sarah Vowell. Her most recent book "The Wordy Shipmates" is good as well, but AV is my favorite.

Ooh, that's a good idea! I love Sarah Vowell. Nice call!
