Heather: I had a really horrible dream the other night. I woke up in bed with a guy I didn’t want to sleep with (I have a foggy notion that it was Mark). I was panicked. We must have been drunk, because I couldn’t remember any of it happening and I didn’t know if we’d used a condom. It was terrifying.
Sarah: Oh no! I hate realistic bad dreams. They throw off your mood all day long.
Heather: Right? I woke up and sincerely thought I had to go find a morning after pill!
Sarah: Shudder. Imaginary bullet dodged.
Heather: I know. God. Can you imagine? Mark’s love child? Is there anything i want less?
Sarah: Hmmm…
Heather: Herpes maybe. Or huaraches.
Sarah: I would vote for huaraches.
Heather: The Rosemary’s Baby of footwear.
Amen.
Though I’m not sure that’s appropriate in a post referencing the Devil.
Is Devil capitalized?
Okay, clearly I’m not fit to know what’s appropriate here.
What is a huruach?!?!
what I love is that moment when you realise that it wasn’t real, it was just a dream. I always start laughing at that point.
H,
I had to see for myself just what Huarache sandals were, so I did a little internet search (thank you Al Gore). I found a lot of different styles. Do you hate them all with the same pasion or are some worse than others. The slide with a heel seems like the least offensive to me. The flats I saw……. BAAAAAADDDDD!!!! And the men’s Huaraches (excuse me while I vomit). I can see some guy with those sandals, khaki Bermuda shorts, a braided belt, and a floral print shirt (tucked in, of course). It’s not a pretty sight, and what’s really scary is that when I picture a woman with the flat huaraches, she’s wearing the same exact outfit.

Haha, I’ve also never seen huaraches before, did a little search and wish I hadn’t. Yuck! Had to go hold some strappy, slinky black heels just to recover…
My big footwear nightmare were the Dr. Scholls sandals with the big buckle and the hard wood sole. I used to hate them and of course when I was about 7 years old my mom bought me and her a matching pair. My mom wasn’t too happy when I came home one evening after playing outside without them
You know huarache sandals are all the rage this year?
I’m a big fan of huarache omelettes with a side of refried beans and some hot sauce.
But, seriously, on the subject of those very bad realistic dreams. Hate those. Have had that one myself — no, not having Mark’s lovechild, but knocking someone up (and once, it turned out NOT to be a dream, but that’s a story for another day). I’ve had the reverse, too … a realistic dream in which something decent happens. My favorite was in high school and I’d dreamt that I had 20 bucks (which is a good chunk for those days) and I woke up the next morning and my wallet was empty. I blamed my brother for stealing my 20 bucks and he thought I’d lost my mind. My most recent was I was just hanging out, chilling, talking to Mandy Moore, like we were old friends. But when I woke up, I remembered that Mandy Moore is not my friend and that she lost her virginity to Fez.
Almost forgot! Which sunglasses did you get?
I didn’t get any yet, but seriously thinking about the first VW ones.
I have a similar thing. I don’t understand how a guy can where black shoes and a black belt with blue jeans. People in the midwest tell me I’m crazy. I just don’t see how it looks good.
Is it the blue of the blue jeans that you think clashes with the black?
I love black! Black goes with everything.
Yeah, Mike, I think you’re gonna have to go elsewhere for support on that one (says the guy suddenly insecure about his shoes and belt).
Aww JD don’t feel insecure about your shoes and belt. As long as your not wearing huaraches, I think your safe.
I once had a very vivid dream about breaking up with a guy I didn’t even know.
It was so real that I was literally heartbroken for a few days. It was really hard to shake it off.
Heather you sound like an out of touch loon. I feel as if I just wasted 60 seconds of my life reading this page.
I ran across your site by doing a Google search for huaraches. FYI, I’ve settled on these in the tan loafer style: http://tinyurl.com/kxjbg . I expect them to be comfortable during the heat of the summer, and to coordinate well with my khakis and Hawaiian print shirts. Maybe I’ll park them under your bed for a few hours….
