Today's state of the Weed....

[vulgarweed]

1. Wow, having a social life is kind of awesome. Takes work but it's worth it. I'd really missed it. (That's an exaggeration - I never totally lacked one. But I'm a lot more motivated for it now. Concerts, plays, just going to the coffee shop with a book so I don't get that last-person-on-earth feeling I get if I stay home all day.)

2. I have no comfortable daily-wear type summer shoes. It's always hard to find the right pair, because I hate having my feet exposed (they're one of the most sensitive parts of my body - stubbing toes or having them stepped on or getting a rock in shoes is excruciatingly painful and I don't like feeling even a little vulnerable to it) the last pair I had that sort of worked I got for free at a clothing swap and literally wore them til they fell apart (took three summers). ??

3. My porn muse is being uncharacteristically coy. It's not a block, it's just...current short WIP is demanding more seduction than usual.

Comfortable daily-wear summer shoes don't exist this season. I'd like to fastforward to summer '08, please -- for the fashion as much as the campaining.

From The Co-op's short-lived "no open-toed shoes" policy days:

Keen sandals. They're sandals, but your toes are protected.

my idea of comfy summer shoes is still doc marten eight-holes, instead of the knee-high poleclimbers or the cop-style boots i wear the rest of the year. i'm like you. i hate to have my toes exposed.

(and of course, i like boots).

*thinks porny thoughts at your muse*

Good luck in finding suitable summer shoes, too.

1. Yay, social life! I should do more of all of those things myself ..... Rock on, lady!

2. I hate shopping for shoes almost as much as I hate shopping for bras. (I have a hard time getting either of those things to fit right! Plus they're too damned expensive for the wear I get out of them before they die horribly!) 8P

I'd recommend a good, sturdy pair of boots -- really, they may not be particularly summer-girlie, but they'll keep the dratted boulders out.

Social life...? What's that? *blinks in confusion*

Sandals are awesomeness. I'd have died without them the last couple summers. There are some fairly cheap closed-toed flats available, but you have to hunt. Damned fasionistas this year decided on three inch cloggy heels for everything *grumble loudly*

Awww, poor little muse. If it's the same muse who helped me with the pic for it, then it must have gotten worn out XD

I don't know how fancy your footwear needs to be, but if you can get by with fairly casual, have you tried Crocs? I own this pair, and the sandals are pretty comfortable. The toes aren't completely closed, but the wholes are pretty small.

I sympathise with your shoe plight. The best items of warm weather footwear I've been able to find this year are a pair of those ballet type shoes, which are very comfy, but have absolutely no grip whatsover.

Hope your muse manages to come through for you eventually: though from a readers point of view the more gruelling the seduction is, the more satisfying the smut often turns out to be.
