Have Louboutin Will Write

Anyone who knows me knows I have a passion for shoes.  And not just any shoes.  As a kid it started with whatever footwear was cool at the moment,  Addidas with fat laces, and L.A. Gear sneakers with matching tube socks in the 80's.  In the 90's it was Nine West and Skechers, FILA, Nike...and now oh now, I am older, I am wiser, and I have discovered high end footwear.  I voraciously consumeVogue, Bazaar, Elle, but not in a search to find the most luxuriously decadent designer clothing, I am in search of the latest shoes from YSL, Gucci, Lanvin, Giuseppe Zanotti and my personal favorite, Christian Louboutin, just to name a few.  I gaze adoringly at stilettos, wedges, pumps and platforms splayed out in glorious vivid colors, a vertiable feast for my greedy eyes.  Shoe porn (without the kinky fetish of course!), if there can be such a thing.  It is the desire to one day own at least one pair of Louboutins that fuels my lust! His shoes are a dream to behold.  The signature red sole.  The sky high heels, Tahiti, Tutti Frutti, Maloko, the list goes on and on.  For Christmas I won't have visions of sugarplums dancing in my head, it will be visions of Louboutins. My current financial situation does not allow me to indulge unfortunately, and though my husband says he is willing to fork over a portion of what the $900+ shoes will cost me,  I have been trying to come up with ideas on how to set up my "Louboutin Fund" as I call it.  Though I believe as his wife and the mother of his children he should just buy me the shoes, but since I am so awful with money, it is his opportunity to teach me a lesson in responsibility.  Never mind that being a guy he thinks it is ridiculous to spend that much money on shoes in the first place.  He just doesn't get it, he doesn't understand!  He is such a man.  Yet the hubbs did come up with one possible solution, he said, "Write a piece and sell it".  Yeah because it is that simple. He shrugs, "You're the one who wants those shoes, maybe this will motivate you to get your act together."  So needless to say, I am still Louboutin-less.  There is however something to his idea and with that in mind, I am consciously making an effort not just to write to fulfill my lifelong dream of being a successful author, but also to finally be able to afford the kind of shoes I was born to wear! I work up the block from Hearst Publishing so I was thinking of going down there on my lunch hour with a sign that says, "WILL WRITE FOR SHOES".  I would like to see if something like that gets me anything other than arrested.  On second thought, maybe I will just write a piece and sell it...maybe.  Wish me luck and Louboutins!
