Hello, lolShoes."},"content":{"rendered":"

I ordered these Louboutins back in July, I think. Whenever they first appeared on Net-a-Porter<\/a>. Imagine my surprise when they arrived yesterday!<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>Of course, they don’t fit. Now I have to send them back. It’s easier to take the One Ring<\/a> back to Mount Doom than it is to return something to Net-a-Porter<\/a>. Wish me luck!<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>“Look at those shoes she posted up there, Sam.”<\/span><\/span><\/div>\n
“She’s going to have to fight a Balrog to return those, Frodo<\/a>.”<\/p>\n

<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

UPDATED TO ADD: Interesting! Either Net-a-Porter peeps are big blog readers, or Sam the hobbit was secretly using my computer to contact them, because I got an email from Net-a-Porter about my need for a return even though I hadn’t said anything to them yet. I was intrigued by a comment they made: “…our delivery was severely delayed by Christian Louboutin, a situation over which we had no control.” I had been intending to cancel my order for these shoes, but didn’t bother because I figured they’d never turn up anyway. My theory was that Net-a-Porter got suckered into showing a Louboutin design sample that was never going to be put into production despite the orders taken on it. That happened to me once at Louis Vuitton; that bag just never happened. Even more fascinating: the note from Net-a-Porter was quite pleasant, without foolish comments about how I have to force the DHL guy who picks up the shoes to “inspect” them before taking the package (something that DHL doesn’t want to do, trust me). Maybe Net-a-Porter fired the Balrog who used to run customer service.<\/p>\n

UPDATED AGAIN: In happier shoe news, I AM keeping the shoes below even though they’re not as divine <\/span>as fish feet<\/a><\/span>. I already posted this lolShoes photo on my emergency backup blog<\/a> originally, but I’m migrating all the backup stuff to the main blog.<\/p>\n
