actually put them on one day and my foot went right through the ” bottom.

I really like Emily the Strange. Who reminds me of a character from childhood, Rosamond from Nate the Great. James wouldn’t agree to Rosamond, so there is perhaps a little Emily the strange in her name though mostly Emily Dickinson. Emily the Strange, before it went all Hot Topic, reminded me of my own weirdness as a kid and how eventually that became something I treasure(d). For the record, I don’t mind Hot Topic–I just like it when some things aren’t mass produced.

Well this was many years ago, and I don’t have them anymore, but James and Em (she was still pretty young)got me big cat feet slippers.

And I wore them and meowed as I walked around and made her laugh. I even sometimes meowed when no one was around and then laughed myself.

There was also what we call “The Frother,” which is a little battery powered er, milk frothing thing that makes me feel fancy. I still have that, all these years later and I still feel fancy when I froth.
