My "Christian Louboutin Moment"

I don't consider myself a shoe freak, but I do have a closet-ful of carefully stacked boxes containing some gorgeous 3 inch-heel numbers that I used to wear on a regular basis to work but haven't seen the light of day in several years.   There's a purple suede number in there that makes me sigh every time I catch sight of it.

Let's face it.  It's not a question of still fitting as much as still being able to walk with a modicum of pain and a smidge of dignity.  If you are a woman of a certain age, I need say no more.

But the deliciousness of truly sexy shoes dies hard.  I found that out again today.

I was having my nails done at Salon Trio when I noticed that one of the co-owners, Nicole, was wearing a truly incredible pair of shoes.  The shiny red underside of these sky high beauties was a dead giveaway:  "Christian Louboutin! OMG! I've only seen them in ads and in places like Saks and Neimans.  And here they were in the flesh! (You don't want to know how much these babies cost.  Think four figures to start.)

Nicole:  "Would you like to try them on?

Me:  "What size are they?"

Nicole:  "Does it matter?"

Me:  "Of course not.  Hand them over."

See attached photo for moi "standing tall" and feeling tres sexy. . .wobbling a little. . .but loving every second.

Thanks, Nicole.  It was a great moment. I simply had to capture it on camera.
