Don’t you love getting a new pair of shoes home and checking the end of the box to see what they have been christened? These shoes are called “Ida Lupino”. By someone… Not the actual designer or manufacturer in Bali I would have thought, but whoever is out there in etherland running a site called “Forbidden Shoes”. Not the kind of site it promises to be from the name alas, but an actual online shoe shop. Of course, just as I am tempted to buy some of the Ava Gardner perfume that Ptolemy wears and just as I am tempted to buy the earrings that are replicas of the ones worn by Vivien Leigh in Gone With The Wind, I am tempted by the Ida Lupino shoes. If only they had an ankle strap…
Ida’s Lemon Mousse was rustled up yesterday for a much needed ladies night in. We have all been scattered to the four winds of late so we were craving a good old fashioned Number 43 soiree with pyjamas on, chicken fajitas to eat and a movie to watch. We saw a MODERN film, believe it or not, one that isn’t even out in the cinema yet. The kind that has “for your consideration” popping up every fifteen minutes. It was a heist film and I loved the occasional outbursts of phrases like, “Ooooh, they have really got themselves in trouble now!” from the ladies. Excellent.
I have a date this evening. With Mr Sombrero Delay at the seaside. This is like a proper date with a man I actually met IN PERSON rather than through the medium of the internet. We met, we chatted, we exchanged numbers, we arranged a date. How OLD FASHONED! I am strangely nervous.
