Purple Pumps

She came home with new shoes last night. She always tries to avoid telling people what everything costs because she knows that we are all secretly going, “Oh my god, don’t you have rent to pay?” Whenever I casually ask, “Ohhh, how much were they?” she always replies with, “like 3 dollars!” Right-o. Anyway, these things were sky-freakin-high and HIDEOUS. She bought two pairs because it was buy one, get one half off – who can resist?

One was a pair of big purple pumps and the other, shiny green fish-scale looking pumps. They are about 5 inch heels and she walked around in them in the house to try and break them in. I guess it didn’t work because she went out tonight and B sent me a message telling me that she was walking like she was in severe pain. She described M’s movements as similar to her first time on a trampoline – limbs stiff and flailing.
