(there's an old voigtlander there for $25.) as i'm : walking through the shoe isle i see a pair of Mephisto Walking Shoes! the : Tilly Hat of leicasnobs (if you don't believe me, check out the archives). : my hands are trembling as i yank them down from the shelf, at $9.99 they're : a STEAL. quickly i unlace my fallingapart combat boot and squeeze my toe : into the mephisto. it's about four sizes too small. HA! i decide to wear it : anyway. how can any leica owner be caught dead without them? using a shoe : horn and three helpful bystanders i wedge my foot into the mephisto; tickled : to no end realizing how you all will turn green with envy when you see me : stylishly walking down the street like this: : : AUGH! AUGH! AUGH! : : three steps advise me to quickly put them back. my toes aching from being : folded beneath my foot like a closed book i am limping towards the door when : i see a pair of Definately Very Ugly-Ass Shoes. : : They look oddly familiar. : : could they be? : : yes INDEED! it's a pair of Bruno Magli's!!! the very shoes made fameous by : photographers harry scull and ej flammer when they both ponied up photos of : o.j. simpson wearing them at a buffalo bills games in 1993. (previously they : were made fameous by an unknown assailant who wore them while sawing nicole : brown simpson's head off.) : : i ripped off my combat boots and dove a foot into them: size twelve! a : perfect fit!!!! : : you are all so jealous. i know you are. and to rub it in, later in the week : i shall post photographs of my new shoes. : : kc : : p.s. to add even MORE photo content, on the bruno magli homepage : (www.brunomagli.it) there is a photo essay by ellen von unwerth of some : nearly naked model running around in spikey heels which must be bruno : magli's. : : p.p.s. these are indeed ugly ass shoes, but the really scary thing is that : the person who killed nicole brown simpson was wearing these shoes and a : black sweat suit. talk about bad taste. loafers and a sweat suit? give me a : break! : : : : : : -- : To unsubscribe, see http://mejac.palo-alto.ca.us/leica-users/unsub.html : - -- To unsubscribe, see http://mejac.palo-alto.ca.us/leica-users/unsub.html
