(for the record, i would be more than happy to wear men's shoes, if they made ones to suit me in my size. i couldn't find simple black laceups in size seven mens. believe me, i looked.)
i couldn't find black sneakers. white, brown, light blue, no black. i ought to start wandering cap hill and asking all the goth kids where they shop, because obviously clothing like that which i want to wear exists somewhere in Seattle, and i'm just looking in the wrong places.
and now, to pack up my laundry and get over to Ari and Charles's, since they are graciously allowing me to wash clothes over there...
