in stead of lasagna, i got

Red stilettos.

I just bought four-inch red stilettos.

I can't be held responsible. A beautiful gay man talked me into it.

My work boyfriend stopped by, snatched me up for lunch of crab cakes and heart-to-heart and then off we went for accessories for our holiday party garb. He chastised my dependence on black footwear and here I am, in possession of a pair of four-inch red stilettos and the promise that we're headed out on the town tonight.

Where we will undoubtedly hit on the same men.

Someone would so lose a toe if I tottered around the town in stilettos.

I envy you.

as would i.

i would also tower over 99% of the people out, but at least i'd make an impression.

Red stilettos last longer than most boys anyhow.
Plus look better on me than lasagne.
Don't forget to play 'My Feet Look Cuter Than Yours And So Therefore I Get First Dibs On Men We Meet'.

I actually prefer black. But that's just one guy's opinion. And I'm sure you'll look stellar in red.

As do I, Dan. 26 pairs of black shoes at last count. But when this man talks, I listen and he said "red." So here they are. I'm actually doubting my ability to pull them off without looking too "Cruella DeVille meets Dorothy" but it's going to be the throw it all out there kinda night.

Everyone deserves a 'throw-it-all-out-there' night from time to time - especially during the stressful holiday season. Be glamorous and have a grand evening.

Four-inch pumps and dresses hitting the floor? Oh my.

I own at least six pairs of red shoes. And those are just the ones I can see from my desk without turning my head.

Maybe one of the guys you both hit on will say yes to the both of you.

Wouldn't that be an interesting evening.

Since we're talking about gay men's opinions, Carson says "Only hookers and children wear red shoes."

Which raises the question: what would R. Kelly do?

Pray tell, how does one prance in 4-inch stillettos?

As the proud owner of six pairs of red shoes and three pairs of red boots, here is what our toast is:

Here's to the girls who wear the red shoes,
They spend all your money,
They drink all your booze,
They may have lost their cherry,
But that's no sin,
'Cause they still have the box the cherry came in!

Hope you had a great time!
