Halloween? Done. Election Day? Over. What's next? And, no, it isn't Christmas, even though the malls and local stores might be trying in spectacular fashion to convince you otherwise. It's Thanksgiving. You know, turkey day, mashed potatoes, black Friday shopping, football, the obligatory list of things to be thankful for and all that jazz?
I was searching for November fashion accessories when out of the clear blue Google, these appeared! Throwing practicality out the door, then sure, I would wear these:
1. This first pair reminds me of a dream Poseidon had recently, and he shared it with me. In the dream, he was having dinner with some old band mates, and they were starving, and one of the bandies was cooking dinner for them. The meal turned out to be old pieces of shoe and denim, baking in the oven. Everyone knows that you don't serve shoe with denim, but Poseidon's dreams are often strange. Very strange.
2. Honestly, with this pair, my brain said mohawk before it went to turkey. I suppose these might remind some of a turkey, but I'm seeing a Joy Division concert goer, waiting in line outside Pip's Disco in Manchester UK, 1978.
3. Two fascinating facts I've learned about turkeys recently:
- A turkey can run at speeds up to 20 mph when spooked
- Turkeys can burst into flight at speeds between 50-55 mph in seconds.
Sadly, the turkey contributing to these boots must not have been in this sample group.
4. Yes, I know this is a peacock, not a turkey...oddly enough, when I Googled Thanksgiving fashion, I got the peacock shoe. Maybe some serve peacock instead of turkey for Thanksgiving dinner? Does peacock go better with broccoli, or asparagus?
