I feel that just gives them more personality. Speaking of shoes with personality and size issues, here&#8217;s the long overdue update on my <a href=\"http:\/\/wbjewelry.blogspot.com\/2007\/11\/kiss-is-just-kiss.html\">fish feet<\/a> obsession. I finally got those shoes on eBay in a size 6.5, which is the size of my other two pairs of Louboutins. Bizarrely, they felt too tight anyway, so I figured I&#8217;d get them stretched. As with any easy task, I&#8217;ve put off doing that for about six months. That&#8217;s not bad, really. I&#8217;ve put off other things for six years. Anyway, I promise I will try to get that stretching business done next month, so that I can finally experience fish-feet joy. <\/script><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I was excited to get the much-criticized YSL Trooper Pumps when I saw they were on sale.
