On Image

The never ending image pressure can just weigh you down, so I tossed aside only to see that maybe SOME of it is good. When you let it all "hang out" some of the stuff you should have kept in gets "stepped on" and not necessarily on your Blue Suede shoes...maybe on your more practical Brown shoes. Worse yet, your nicest high heels.  You know, you put on your heels, and go to "strut your stuff" and next thing you know, you slipped on a lemon someone dropped on the floor? Yeah, you know what I'm talking about. I have fallen down in my high heels more than once, just when I was thinking I was lookin' pretty good...that is an image workshop in itself!
The first humiliating experience in shoes, was in High School, of course..just missed my big reunion, so this is fresh stuff..New outfit, new high heels, feeling pretty snazzy, walking right by the field house, the pressure is on, football practice is just starting...gotta keep the image up (really? did I have one?) my heel catches a rock on a slope, and that is all she wrote, down I go, new outfit, and all...a charming look, believe me. Charming. And that is what I will leave you with...just when you think you have kinda got it together, something will invariably happen to "bring you down"...so whatever you do; remember that it can happen to anybody. That is why you don't step on MY Blue Suede Shoes! Yours are just as vulnerable!!
Now my red cowboy boots, the ones my sister got for me, they are another story, Like I have heard it said, "Some boots are made for walkin', mine are made for kickin' ass." If I pull those out, watch out! Hoe-down time!
