"Cork & Mindy" from Modcloth.com

These are quite cute - I love the color and styling, truly - but I would never buy them (regardless how much money I had to spare) because they cost $100 USD. It's not that I wouldn't pay that for shoes. I'd pay it for Doc Martens, Birkenstocks, any leather boots, anything involving expensive materials or construction (like stacked wooden heels), fair trade ethical shoes, or anything with a designer brand (assuming I wanted the designer shoes - usually I don't, but it could happen someday). In terms of sense-making, you're paying for the materials and labor. But the buyer's paying out the nose 10 times what the shoes cost to make sometimes, and I would only do that if the designer is 60 bucks worth of famous. I don't really think that Marimekko or Miu Miu or whoever is worth 60 bucks just for being famous, but, well, brand names are an accepted reality, at least. Random price inflation on a whim? Hardly.

Who would you want to play you in the movie of your life? (Is this a meme already?)

>> it's one of the rare questions I'd be interested in seeing as a meme. Also I have a short attention span so a one-question meme is pretty ideal. I tend to picture my r/flist acquaintances on the basis of the icons they use unless they post pictures of themselves a lot.

So I picture aynatonal and phineasjones as themselves, but I picture cesare as Zoe Deschanel, copracat and dana_kujan both as Scully!Gillian Anderson, aeslis as Namie Amuro (even though I do know what she looks like!), ciderpress as Michaela Conlin, jennaria as Labyrinth!Jennifer Connelly, brownbetty as Wonder Woman (...?). Amusingly enough, I tend to picture mecurtin and torachan both as their cartoon-self default icons, and it's quite odd to picture someone as a South Park character (though maybe no odder than picturing them as comic book WW).


Your choice doesn't have to look like you. They can represent the inner you or the acceptable default-lj-icon you, or whatever.
