In my most recent adventures in preparing for competition, I needed to find find shoes. I was giving a place to go get them, but being I still get lost in Waikiki, I couldn’t locate it. Thanks GPS…for nothing. So, I decided to park my truck at Nordstrom’s and do some walking in the vicinity.
Well, after 20 minutes of walking around downtown, I still didn’t find the store. What I did find was about 5 different “strip joints”. I knew I was in the right area! I decided to just simply ask. Me being me, I decided that walking into the Nordstrom’s shoe department was a great idea. So, I go in to Nordstrom’s, walk over to the shoe counter, and with a straight face ask “excuse me, do you sell clear-on-clear heels?” I did this KNOWING that they didn’t but like any good shoe person they would know where to direct me. Well this associate happened to be in her late 20’s (thank goodness). She looked a little perplexed so I repeated my question, “clear heels like what strippers wear.” She goes “ohhhhh! hooker heels!” Her next statement made me giggle. “So you’re about to compete?” Oh, by-the-way, I was dressed ready to go to the gym: blue jean-looking spandex, my Nikes, and my favorite reversible Under Armour hoodie shirt. So I’m glad she knew I like fitness and not “dancing”. She gave me the name of a store in walking distance and off walking I went.
I walked into this store, and I was fascinated. I am a lover of shoes and I was in awe!! I got what I came for: 5″ clear on clear heels (non platform…important take away point). I did pick up another “skim suit”…notice I didn’t say swim suit. That’s a different story and picture for another day.
Here I am today, walking around my kitchen preparing blueberry waffles, scrambled egg whites, and fresh squeezed orange juice for my SECOND breakfast. My first breakfast was a quick english muffin with jelly and a protein shake, for the gym. Gotta eat good to look good. These shoes are pretty comfortable.
Calm down! These shoes are meant for competing…
