I have been drooling over cowboy boots lately.
Not the stomp-in-the-pasture-through-the-muck cowboy boots,
no thank you,
I am drooling over the girly-girl kind.
Like these
Ahhhh, yes.
These lovely Lucchese boots (zappos.com) can be mine for the bargain price of $499.
No, I did not forget to put the decimal point in the right place.
Four. Hundred. And. Ninety. Nine.
DOLLARS.
I guess they were made from the hide of a sacred cow
tanned with the gums of identical twin toothless infants
and stitched with threads made from
albino unicorn hide.
Why else the price?
Yes indeedie,
these Old Gringo babies can be purchased for for a mere $514.50
You just gotta love that they added in that 50 cents on the end.
Every penny counts right?
I've been scouring the thrift stores and Goodwill
hoping that some cowgirl wanna-be purchased a pair
to impress some guy
then lost interest
and is shucking the boots
along with Mr. Uh-uhhh.
So far,
no such shucking
going on 'round here.
I did, however, find these.
$3 at the thrift store.
What a deal.
Remembering my
I grabbed my trusty-rusty black sharpie marker
and set to work.
Don't ever let anyone tell you that
all that doodling
won't pay off.
It just might.
I thought it needed a liiiiiittle bit more.
After all,
more is better.
Always.
And a few whiles later
taaa-daaaaaa
So if you have been a'hankering
(that is red-neck for smitten with desire)
Grab your little self a sharpie
and get to work.
OR....
if you have some lovely, unwanted cowboy boots
give me a holler and I'll
take those puppies off your hands.
Mr. Uh-uhhhh
you'll have to shuck yourself.
