Shhhhhhh.....Beanie Babies.......

Still the saddest photo I've ever seen--

"Nov 5, 1999, Las Vegas, Nevada, USA: Attorney Frank Totti looks over papers while his client Frances Mountain sorts out Beanie Babies with her ex-husband Harold Mountain in Judge Gerald Hardcastle’s Family Courtroom in Las Vegas November 5. The couple, who were divorced four months ago, were ordered to divide up the collection valued at $2,500 to $5000 but were unable to do so by themselves. The collection was ordered spread on the court floor and divided up one by one under the supervision of Family Court Judge Hardcastle" (qtd. in https://www.huffpost.com/entry/beanie-baby-fever-in-1999_n_58af7d12e4b060480e0661fe)

Sorry I missed the live chat today guys! Technical difficulties, what can ya do. ??‍♀️

Excited to hear what you guys scoop up tomorrow! I noticed many of your SF brethren who I know are participating didn't list themselves on the excel spreadsheet this year.

Curious to see what a trunk show during pandemic looks like. Thanks for all your feedback so far, as always, and let me know if you have any last minute questions!

If it weren’t for this guy....

I think I would have gone with a green Higgins Mill (or Landon) with a flat welt and double JR.

This kitten has done well with his treatment so far. Only one more month of daily injections (and three months of observation).

I tried comprehending the photo prior to reading the text. The photo was beyond my understanding. Of note, my Dad is a retired attorney and sometimes did divorce work. As such, this is not totally surprising yet nonetheless remarkable.

And now that collection valued between 2500 and 5000 is probably worth 25 to 30 bucks.

Well Men...

I almost wore my brand new pair of Burnished Copper Strand weaves today. Since I received them 2 weeks ago, this is now the third morning that I've reached for them, only to be intoxicated by the eau-de-musc of freshly-hewn leather; the satisfying quality of the pristine soles; and the understated, timeless beauty that is the masterpiece of cordwainery known as the woven Strand. It seems so counter-intuitive to put these works of art on my feet so I can shuffle across the parking lot and into my place of work.

It is also the third morning where I have gently placed them back into the box and reached for a different shoe.

Does anyone else have similar neuroses when it comes to wearing a newly-hatched AE...?

Hey Ashley, why does Allen Edmond call what is clearly a derby an oxford in this ad?



Like, this makes no sense to me?

Hey @BFT9000 how far is 6 Strandmoks?
View attachment 1464195

Not bad, but still about 20 Strandmoks short, I'm afraid!

Because most 'Muricans don't know/care the difference.
Alden calls oxfords balmorals and most derbies blucher oxfords (a double whammy there).

Black Long Branches with some grey flannels yesterday.

Working from home, but I might bust out some shell from a previous trunk show in solidarity.
