    I would like pictures of these sassy orange shoes. Also, my size 11s are endlessly impressed with your marvelous footwear.

  2. Meredith says:

    Hilarious!! I giggled at the title before I even read the rest. Awesome.

  3. this reminds me that i would be able to fill at least two bags to bring to the salvation army if i went through my closet, only my closet isn't as funny as yours.

    Fantastic. And please do let me know if the spicy orange peep-toe wedges have a size 9 1/2 Irish twin sister.

    The sad thing is that I personify all my clothes (almost all my possessions). Or something…I get so attached. It feels like a betrayal when I abandon them.

    I have this pair of turquoise suede flats that I imagine is a Miami housewife who was once beautiful and free but married the wrong guy and as a result has never gotten enough love. You can't wear that colorful s*** where I live. If only I could set them up with someone kind, someone good. Maybe an engineer with a pot belly/aka some Timberlands.

    You have giant feet. HAHAHAAAHAHA

  7. RuthWells says:

    You would have a BLAST with my closet. Also with all my unfinished projects.

  8. Han says:

    Maybe I should try this when it comes to clearing out my wardrobe again lol.

    I know for sure UK Size 6 Roxy Trainers worn maybe twice – I thought they would be okay but they were too loose

    Don't you like to match up the personal ads? For example, could peep-toes and peasant skirts ever be a love match in this crazy world of ours?

  10. Momo Fali says:

    I'm interested in the skirt. I have a thing for uniforms.

    Momo "Hot Lips" Fali

  11. …please come write my personal ad. Even if I don't find Mr. Right, perhaps I'd find some cute shoes.

  12. MJ says:

    Eden, you are hilarious. This ranks right up there with your Hulk post, which is my all-time fave.

  13. meglessard says:

    I think I have a plaid jacket seeking those orange shoes! Very funny!

  14. Lauren says:

    Google Reader just suggested you to me and now I know why.

    This cracked. me. up.

    Thanks for the laugh, you are now officially on my feed. :)

  15. Xibee says:

    HAAAAAHH!!! you've no idea how many personals mine would spawn, oh gawd.

    I did a post about my earrings having conversations with each other once. Most readers of it were all, OKAAAAAAAAYYYYYYY!
    ::uncomfortable pause::

    Proof that I'm working in the wrong environment and should be writing them for YOU and your readers. : )
