that's cool. i think i need some shoes with some unicorns on them.

I move to disallow unicorns.

no way! i move to disallow dav coleman. heh.

Disregarding your superior intelligence in all other things, Denise, I'm riding with Dav on this one. Unicorns are extinct because men killed them on sight. That wouldn't happen today, of course, due to our recent feminization. How else can you explain the proliferation of Hello Kitty?

unicorns are sassy!

unicorns are so /very/ sassy!

Wow. I guess being a Cyberspace Visionary and having even rudimentary fashion sense don't necessarily go together. That's so embarrassing.

fashion, schmashion! life is short. be happy.

I couldn't be happy in those shoes.

but he is and i'd be thrilled with some unicorn shoes! the thing is, unicorns should really be airbrushed and i don't know how to do that.

eek! makes me think of the city I grew up in, where the local hoons would all have airbrushed murals on the side of their panelvans, as well as the minaret shaped bubble windows, the mini-bar and the waterbed. All in the best possible taste of course!

best thing i ever saw was a brand new truck that had been painted all over with the garden of eden. on the back panel was jesus tenderly holding the owner's previous pickup in his arms. things like that make the world a wonderful place.

the world would be really boring with plain shoes and plain vehicles. kooky people are fun.

A little acrylic, some cheap brushes and biff-bam, you've got a thought-provoking work of original art strapped to your shanks' mares.

Well, presumably some talent is also required. I mean, if I applied a little acrylic to my shoes with cheap brushes, what I would have is a pair of ruined shoes.

HJR comes from the Northern California whole-earth, DIY school. And more power to him.

I'm wearing a pair of bright red Reebooks that I bought on Ebay for $15. They are hideous, and make me feel like Judy Garland. I'm painting them black, then as the paint cracks, the red will show through in spidery veins of color. I think it'll be cool.

> the world would be really boring with plain shoes and plain vehicles. kooky people are fun.

Oh, agreed. But I reserve the right to think that someone - kooky or not - has terrible terrible terrible taste (like a certain pair of shoes...). That said, Jesus tenderly holding the owner's previous pickup truck sounds like something I'd enjoy.

in order to paint a pair of shoes to my desire of color is acrylic paint all i need.
