SHOESSSSSS.....

I've always had a fascination for shoes.

As kids, most of us would pass by a toy story and get stuck in front of the display window because we saw some toy we loved, be it a barbie doll or a hot wheels car. i remember my younger brother, M, he would sit down on the floor and start crying if mom din't buy him the toy he liked. kids wailing and shrieking outside or inside a toy story is a common sight.

I had a fascination for barbies like most girls. i use to love the dresses and the accessories. but my mom tells me i was never the kid who cried for toys or stood stubbornly in front of the shop till i got my toy. i was the good kid...:D.. hehe

But i do remember the first time i was stubborn about something. it was in a fair. there were these black sandals with 2 and half inches of platform heels and a sunflower in the front. i remember seeing that shoe and telling mom i want those and the guy was quoting a price of 1000+ rs for them. I was just an 11 or 12 year old kid so mom said a flat no.. i went to dad, made a puppy dog sad face and told him i wanted those shoes, he also denied me and we went back home. but i wanted them at any cost. so it was then that i cried and the next day we returned to that stall and bought those shoes. MY FIRST PAIR.

Ahh... i have such fond memories of those sandals. hehehe. after that i got into the adolescent phase of life and  forgot all about shoes. i was too busy making friends and having fun then...:)

But about 1 year back i went out window shopping with N and D. let me tell you N is a Shoe-aholic too. we walked into the shoe store and started skimming through the stuff. and thats when i saw them. siting on the rack looking gorgeous. i could help myself . i tried them on. and what do you know suddenly all i could think of was those shoes. the trouble was my wallet was undergoing a period of drought then. but just like the black sandals from the fair, i had to own these snake skin wedges too...and a week later i had them.. my FIRST proper pair of sandals bought out of the obsessive need to own the shoe come what may.

And the rest as they say is history. hehehe... now i own 30 pairs of footwear and i plan to carry on buying for the rest of my life. i'm not obsessed with clothes or bags or perfumes, so as a girl i'm entitled to at least one obsession read SHOES...

I love the smell of new shoes... hmmmmm... mmmmm...mmmm....*day dreaming about shoes*, anyway that another story in itself. so i'l write another entry about that later. for now i'm done.

GOOD DAY PEEPS...!!!

P.S. : i don't believe in the superstition( Indian) about giving footwear as gifts, so people feel free to gift ME as many shoes as you like.. I'm open for it.. :) :)
