Allanah: As long as they're not those pointy ones. They make a woman's feet appear longer than they are, and they have to be as uncomfortable as heck.

Know what I'm talkin' about?

I was trying to find women's shoes I do like and stumbled across that. That's a car payment.

A good cut of filet mignon and a bottle of champagne.

[AllanahStarrNYC]

LOL- that is the price point of all of his shoes. The cheapest I have ever seen is $385- but the tend to run from $500-$800.


I found this on a Manolo Blahnik fan site- and I think it describes it perfectly- at least for me, why these shoes are so special

"When a woman buys a pair of Manolos, then, she buys into this story of craftsmanship and artisanry. A woman willing to spend $500 for a pair of shoes is buying into the fantasy, not entirely without truth, that these shoes have gone through an exodus to arrive specially for her. The Manolo creation story is one that weaves together handsketched hand-sketched designs from the artist himself, meticulous selection of fabrics and materials, Blahnik's own assemblage of the shoe's basic parts, then painting, adorning, refining etc... As a woman steps into the soles of her Manolos, then, she marks the end of their elaborate journey and the beginning of hers. "

I would dare to say I fall 'in love' with certain pairs of shoes. If I am down or depressed sometimes I will look at them and just will imagine wearing them out, or what I can wear them with and it makes me feel better.

Playing MAME is fun, e.g., games such as DoDonPachi.

Although I'd have to say a more favorite indulgence of mine is getting a good dicking.

Elaborating on the above, ingesting an entheogenic dose of LSD or psilocybin mushrooms is very intense and spiritually rewarding.

Watch a video clip of why late comedian Bill Hicks (R.I.P.) is glad that (psilocybin) mushrooms are illegal:

Heaven in a Cow's Ass
Finding heaven in a cow's ass. Taped in October of '93?
"I should never have smoked that joint on the third day"

A Vision

In 1976 my wife, Allyson, and I had an experience that changed our lives and our art. We sacramentally ingested a large dose of LSD and lay down. Eventually a heightened state of consciousness emerged in which I was no longer aware of physical reality or my body in any conventional sense. I felt and saw my interconnectedness with all beings and things in a vast and brilliant Universal Mind Lattice. Every being and thing in the universe was a toroidal fountain and drain of self-illuminating love energy, a cellular node or jewel in a network that linked omnidirectionally without end. All duality of self and other was overcome in this infinite dimension of spiritual light. I felt I had been there before, or perhaps in some way was always there. This was the state beyond birth and death, beyond time, our true nature, which seemed more real than any physical surrounding and more real even than my physical body. The clear light matrix arose out of a field of pure emptiness. As utterly convincing as it was, when the light receded, I opened my eyes to behold Allyson and our bedroom once again. I was somewhat shocked to learn that she had experienced the exact same transpersonal dimension at the same time, which we determined by our descriptive drawings and discussion of the awesome beauty of the state. This experience of the infinite net of spirit transformed our lives and gave us a subject that became the focus of our art and our mission.

Allanah,

But why? Can't you just get some for $30.00? Who will know? KTLA here in southern California just did a thing on men's shoes the other day and they cut up the soles of two identical slip-on type of casual shoe, one a famous name; the other one from a discount shoe source.

Guess which one was better for the foot? Yep, the cheap knock off in this case.

Darling, I don't buy my shoes based on comfort level. That is a sin for me. I buy them because they are beautiful and I want to wear them. I buy
them because I will good feel better in them.

Your favorite indulgence is..... driving at night during the summer and music

In reference to the shoes..Thats like comparing MAC or Smashbox to Covergirl and Maybelline lol

WHat would one expect to pay for a pair of shoes like that???

How high does a proce tag go for shoes. I never pay more than 39.99 myself for my shoes or sneakers.

Buying music & porn.Despite knowing that 80% of it is :crap

[AllanahStarrNYC]

I have those in teal with the black lace over lay and they were around $600.

However, because they are collectibles and they sell out so fast (some are on waiting list) people will sell them on ebay for about $1,000.

As well- most styles are only available in the boutique (Though Saks and Neimans and VERY few websites sell them), and there are very few boutiques around the word. So that adds to their collector value.

Luckily in NYC, there are two Louboutin boutiques.

[Realgirls4me]

Yes, I know, and it shows as you always look good, but $540.00 for flats? Sheesh!

[AllanahStarrNYC]

Well yes- I would not pay that much for them either. I don't like them.

But there is a buyer for that price point.

Marry me Allanah. I love a woman in quality heels.

Mine is handmade Cuban cigars. An expensive and filthy habit. Of course that's the appeal of them.

[werwt22]

I was gonna say alcohol or sweet tea, but I'd have to go with a Great Meal. Not just any meal but a Great Meal. I had the privilege about a couple months ago to eat at a restaurant in NY called "Nobu". Everything was amazing and I'm sure anyone from NY will agree thats eaten there. Theres also this great Cuban restaurant named "A bit of Havana" thats great. Point is I love a great meal that I cant cook myself LOL. I can cook but these guys are amazing.

[werwt22]

That cuban restaurant is also where I saw the most beautiful girl in the world work. (To me). She had a hair color that was borderline gold and blond, hairstyle like Tracy Ellis Ross, and a face and body similar to Aaliyah. We could have talked but I screwed it up (Long story). She doesnt work as often anymore though.

That was a cheap, sexist shot but let me it break it down to you-

Marketing? No darling, I buy a shoe because I love it. There are a quite a few (the majority) of designer shoes that I do not like. I don't buy them because thy are designer- I buy a shoe that happens to be beautiful to me.
And yes- those shoes happen to be designer because they are the ones who make them.

And as I recall the title of this thread is 'indulgence'. And this is mine? So what is your problem with it?

in that case i stand corrected
but that thing you posted earlier had marketing response written all over it and i personally am disgusted by how easy it is to sell anything for any amount of money just by adding a fake sense of exclusivity... especially fashion is full of ugly stupidly overpriced stuff that sells amazingly well

Thanks Leora. I'm going to have blue balls for a week thinking of you strutting around in nothing but those shoes.

Jaysus, ain't that the truth.

[Realgirls4me]

I guess I can look the term up, but is an "Indulgence" something that one tangibly owns, can own, or actually has? Basically it is something one enjoys, right?

[Caleigh]

www.thefreedictionary.com/indulgence

[Realgirls4me]

Thanks, Caleigh. You saved me a couple of exhaustive mouse movements and an equally physically draining click or two. I was getting kinda winded there. ;)

Okay, just two more shoes from the inventory of Zappos.com. ...Does anyone know, through web shopping and comparison, if Zappos actually has good prices? Just wondering.

A boot that just looks so cool, without going overboard, and the ever respectable Wingtip.









I can't believe I'm talking about shoes?

Swiss Timepieces...i usually by 1-2 a year....not really a diamond guy...i like mine simple, clean, with either a nice wide grain alligator bracelet or a chunky stainless steel one..i have some real expensive ones and some lesser that i found on Shopnbc...i think i have like 11-12 now , ranging from $200 -$5000....cheap or not i love them all ... right now i am really looking for a rose gold watch...i have my eyes peeled :shock:

[Realgirls4me]

Actually, I do indulge in something: men's cologne. I seem to have the best luck with Claiborne products and one most department stores don't carry anymore -- Azzaro. Not Azzaro Chrome, just the regular Azzaro.

I get more compliments from the latter than all my other colognes combined. :)


And, no. Polo is not part of my collection.

[ottorocket]

My indulgences are relaxing with a glass of good wine, working in the garden, and riding motorcycles fast. Its a healthy mix...lol

[Kriss]

I get more compliments from the latter than all my other colognes combined. .

You COMBINE your colognes? That may explain why you get less favourable reactions. It must smell like a nuclear bomb has just gone off!

Crack, especially the kind that comes in one big-ass rock.

j/k, I'd have to say absinthe and cuban cigars, since I love both of them, but I literally can't get them often.

I didn't understand the women's shoe thing either until I started getting picky about the cut of my shirts. Now I know I will pay a very steep price for clothes that are just right. But at the same time, if I'm paying top dollar for an article of clothing, it better be perfect.

After awhile I was paying so much for shirts I just started getting them custom made.

Nah, that's a responsibility not an indulgence....My guitars...No, well, I mean what's the point of being a musician if you don't have anything to play....Same goes for the fiddles.....And the mandolin...Shoes...Are you kidding, this is Scotland, you can't go barefoot....Books....nah, vital reference material....Cameras? Professional tools, mate...Computers the same.....

Dearie me you know I honestly don't think I actually have any indul--

But wait a minute, what about those girls I visit...Oh yes, I think that has to be it. That's my favourite--indeed my only--indulgence. Most certainly. Almost forgot, and what a place to do it in :oops:
