PLACES: FUCK YEAH! SHOES!

I hate how women are supposed to have an ingrained lust of shoes. It's like we're supposed to have part of our brain proportioned off especially for shoe pondering. Because ya know, nothing actually important goes on in a woman's head. KMT. I blame SATC. They made it perfectly acceptable for women to aim for two things in life: 1. A husband  2. A shoe wardrobe to put our many pairs of over priced shoes.  It's like yes, Emily Davison threw herself under a horse just so us birds could get the right to own as many pair of Manolo Blahniks we can squeeeeeze into a wardrobe. We come kicking and screaming into this world just to shove out feet straight into a pair of Jimmy Choos. LUDICROUS. Rant. Over.

Now I am going to massively contradict myself and show you some pretty pictures of some pretty awesome shoes. YEAH! SHOES!
