Not The intended Use by Voo
July 3rd, 2008 5:52 AMI've had this task on my to-do list for awhile now. I have thought of plenty of ways to do it, but I wanted to wait for the perfect idea. And then it came to me! In order to christen a new boat, they douse it with a smashed bottle of champagne. To christen my new shoes, I would get ultra-classy and super-fancy and drink champagne out of my new "slipper."
As you can see, the shoe has already been worn. In fact, I wore it to complete my Trespassing tasks. But the inside had only had my clean foot inside, so I wasn't too worried. (I don't gross out too easily.)
So, as I said aloud, "I christen thee 'Shoes I Shall Wear When Brown Matches My Outfit'" and I poured some champagne into my rubber slipper.
And then, it was bottoms up in the name of fancypants!
Tasted like Studio 54. Well, with a little less of that casual sex in public flavor.

Drinking from a shoe is it's own brand of ridiculous. Just last Saturday I drank bourbon from an orange high heeled pump at a party full of people in their underwear.
Despite the fact that I have committed this act multiple times, I have never managed to document myself engaging in this behavior, much to my chagrin. I'd very much like to add to this archive.
Tom Robbins says that drinking champagne from a woman's high heel shoe is the most romantic thing one could do, although he says it could be any beverage, really. Just be careful cuz she'll have to put her foot back in there.
Maybe someday some gallant gentleman will propose a toast to me from my own volar coverlet.
I added my pictures to that Flickr group, as I am a Flickr member. Neat! Thanks!
PS: I love Tom Robbins, but I don't see the romance in ruining my shoes with a beverage. These rubber Crocs are the only ones that could handle it without being destroyed or at least altered negatively.
I had a very drunken friend spill champagne all over me one NYE, and when I took off my heels, he drank the remaining alcohol out of my shoe. It was awkward, actually.
Thanks for reminding me of something I'd forgotten.
