Doodle Bug Boots

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?

  Or these little darlings

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 

Coldwater Creek leather jacket experiment

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.
