Vegas Shoes

The first time I went to Las Vegas was for an all girls trip to celebrate my 24th birthday. I decided to commemorate the occasion by treating myself to a pair of HOT Isaac Mizrahi stilettos. And we’re not talking Mizrahi at Target either, not that I don’t have several pairs of those as well. At the time, it was the most expensive pair of shoes I’d ever owned. I don’t know what it is, but something about Vegas whispers to me…must. buy. new. shoes. And yes people, I’m not a Vegas rookie. I know how long I’ll be on my feet, and the importance of comfortable shoes. Zip it. I don’t want to hear it.
So I set off yesterday to find the totally perfect pair of shoes for my trip this weekend. I’m leaving for Las Vegas this evening with 7 of my closest friends to celebrate my demise as a single gal. And packed in my luggage is a pair of HOT-pink-patent-leather-peep-toe-pumps from BCBG. I had absolutely no problem rationalizing buying pink pumps, despite that fact that Ripken has demolished so many pairs of my shoes that this shoe-horse is reduced to wearing one of 2 pairs of work appropriate foot attire, and one pair of flip flops every day. The fact that 2, count them TWO, people stopped their own shopping to come over and say ‘You must buy those shoes’ simply sealed the deal. After all, its Vegas baby, and these shoes are made for gambling. See you on Monday!

addition: Looking at these shoes I just realized I'm 99.99% sure my Barbie had a pair of shoes exactly like this. BONUS!

Suckage

My god I suck. The number of possible excuses i could throw at you for my lack of posting are overwhelming. NK rode the ol' "I broke my camera" one for a good 2 1/2 months. I too have broke my camera. It doesn't take a Sherlock to figure out how, since my last pictures were from NOLA. The incident went something like this:

Me: oh shit, i dropped my camera
Mamma Vaughan: Whoops
Me: Maybe I can fix it
Mamma Vaughan: Why don't you leave it till tomorrow when you're not 5 hours into Bourbon Street
Me: OK
Mamma Vaughan turns around
Me: Oh shit, now its in pieces
Mamma Vaughan: You are dumb.

Not that I've had pictures to post. You see my other excuse is this little thing called a wedding. True to form, I'm totally stressing over everything I have left to do, but not really crossing any items off the "to-do" list. Ahhh. Procrastination, how do I love thee.

I'm buying a new camera this week though. Oh and heading to Vegas. Expect updates. Maybe.
