Consolation Prize

September 28, 2007 by WendyB

My obsession: the beauteous Christian Louboutin Pesce shoes.

During my never-ending quest for fish feet, I found a young-adult book about a boy who wants to be a ballet dancer. I also found a female science blogger (you go, girl!).

But alas, no fish shoes in my size.

My gorgeous sister, Terri Berry, came up with a consolation prize, saying, “If you can’t get the fish shoes, maybe you can at least get a fish hamper.”

It’s not every day you come across home decor that’s as tasteful as this. This, my friends, is a true work of art. Just imagine stuffing your dirty latex leggings down the fish’s gullet. I defy you to tell me that that wouldn’t class up the joint. As Keats wrote, “A thing of beauty is a joy for ever.” If you need more joy in your life (and who doesn’t?) this stunning hamper is available here. Please…don’t thank me all at once!

UPDATED TO ADD: Thanks to gorgeous soon-to-be client (ahem! right?) Jane for pointing out these brilliant six-inch goldfish stilettos. Hot! I love that whole Pimpdaddy website. I was wondering where the pimps shopped and now I know!

    did you ever read lois lowry’s number the stars? the main character’s little sister, kirsti, gets a new pair of shoes made from fish skin, because it’s wartime. that’s what i think of when i hear “fish shoes.”

    yeah, so, i am now off to spend the afternoon thinking of out-of-context ways to use the sentence “just imagine stuffing your dirty latex leggings down the fish’s gullet.”
