Needs

Yesterday Ainsleigh brought this home from school. It made me laugh:

In her defense, she explained how we need shoes to protect our feet. But the fact that she choose THOSE shoes--pink, shiny, and bedazzled--is something. I mean, they are a far cry from something like this...

...or this...
“…. I still wanted to wear shoes made from old car tires and other upcycled materials. So I decided to make a homemade running shoe, similar to the type of shoes Bill Bowerman made for Steve Prefontaine — the original Nikes.” More at: Craftzine.com blog : Retro-Style Running Shoes from Old Tires
...or this.
Which is so surprising, because clearly she is a girl of moderation...
Prediction: This will not be her favorite website--Unconsumption

For details on making that third pair of shoes, or just to feel like a consumeristic goon, see here.
