KDF, it's functioning on a minute-by-minute basis.
Are matching snorkle and goggles available?
Posted by: slyeyes | September 06, 2008 at 11:22 AM
Oooh, how cute! Are they available in pink??
Posted by: Kathybear | September 06, 2008 at 11:45 AM

Well, I suppose if you ever find yourself in a situation where you just don't want to give up your heels, but you still really want to go scuba diving, then these are your shoes.
It's stuff like this that makes me so glad that I'm a guy.
Posted by: Schadeboy | September 06, 2008 at 01:10 PM
*flip flops in*
*snorks @ Cat!!* love it!
And I LOVE these shoes. The only downside I see is trying to walk without looking like a total doofus.
Posted by: Siouxie | September 06, 2008 at 01:55 PM
seriously? that's the ONLY downside? lol i'm with you schadeboy; i'm glad i'm a guy! (and trust me, other than the not-actually-having-a-penis thing, i am pretty close!)

judi...I've never heard it expressed better;). Or, as my long-time joined-at-the-hip boss once said when someone told him not to Talk Like That in Front of a Woman, 'Oh! Well...I guess I never thought of her as one.'
Comin' from that generation, one of the better compliments of my life.
Posted by: Betsy | September 06, 2008 at 02:58 PM
Awesome compliment, Betsy.
I'm with Kathybear - where are the pink ones? I totally want these immediately, unless baligurl already has them. If so, I'll have to stick with these.
Posted by: Annie Where-but-here | September 06, 2008 at 03:28 PM
The pink ones are on backorder. ;)
Posted by: Suzy Q | September 06, 2008 at 03:37 PM
Oh, ok. In the meantime, maybe I'll get these.
Posted by: Annie Where-but-here | September 06, 2008 at 03:53 PM
Those must come with matching pumps.

Soooo....those socks are the real BOMB! And you could use the flippers at a burger joint if the spatula broke. Put me down for a "hot" pink pair.
Actually you could shovel the walk in Boston as you went out the front door in December. Women...always so multi tasking!
Just saying.
Posted by: xena | September 06, 2008 at 07:41 PM
Annie, you know me so well. I have them is both purple, and flourescent pink.
They're hot.
Posted by: baligurl | September 06, 2008 at 07:41 PM
Ok, then I'll keep my spurs on. For way longer than eight seconds.

Not exactly my fantasy, Annie, but I appreciate the sentiment. (I'm more of a Corinthian leather geezer).

Side note: Bless you all for keeping your level of humor as wonderfully
lowhigh as usual. I have just had the worst two weeks of my entire life, and I'm so thankful for the fun I can read here, even when I'm in no way capable of responding. Thank you for the laughs.Posted by: Diva | September 06, 2008 at 11:03 PM

Why does this bring to mind the old riddle, "What's gray and comes in quarts?"

"Those must come with matching pumps."
Good one, meanie. It almost slipped by me.

For those of us on the geezer bus: Well, we have the cruel shoes, but no one would want to try...
Posted by: ScottMGS | September 07, 2008 at 12:31 AM
I don't think those are actual shoes. I can't seem to find any sort of confirmation of their existence.
Posted by: Elon Weintraub | September 07, 2008 at 12:35 AM
elon, they're not however there was a designer who did a similar thing on the runway a couple years back.they proved very difficult to strut in.
wes, how'd that guy get hold of my prep list?
and why did he leave off the wipies and red wine?

Prayers to all affected by the hurricane. Hugs and prayers for Diva.
My youngest (the brand-new teen) kissed me goodnight last night, thanked me for her "awesome" party, and told me she is grateful for our family sticking together.
She is wise beyond her years, that one.

Lisa Carney of Australia is allegedly the designer of those shoes.

*snork* @ insom.
Posted by: slyeyes | September 07, 2008 at 11:55 AM
Those are not actual shoes for sale - they are an ART display in the window of a shoe store, but were made for another venue (a fashion show I think) - which I can't remember right now - but will now have to research because its driving me nuts that I can't recall the whole story. They have been seen on the WWW for a couple years.
