That Pirate Stole My Tiara: The Pre-Trip Report

[Sarilas]

Those crocs are so dang cute... I hope they're PERFECT!

And cute bag! I will have to find a bag for us to take with all the kid's stuff in it... something my husband will carry because I know I'm going to be sick of that bag after a week!

Alas, Tinkerbellarella movie crime #549(ii): I have not seen "My Big Fat Greek Wedding".

Flame away, friends, flame away.

Are Crocs fire retardant?

It doesn't necessarily have to have a designated laptop sleeve as either I'll purchase one separately or have a sweatshirt in there (I know, tres hi-tech).

A while back, I was on a photogrpahy chat board and the question was posed: how do you travel with your good camera. My reponse: I wrap it in a sweater and chuck it in my cute bag. Duh!

And then, as I perused ebags some more, I found this little darlin' of a bag and IMMEDIATELY fell in love with the print:

Cute, cute, cute!

Oh. My. Goodness.

I think the Lapu Lapuettes are going to have to stage an intervention for you, Tink.

Well don't we all have egg on our faces, quoting away from what is arguably one of THE funniest movies ever....and you have no clue....

I call that a Film Faux Pax....


If you have Netflix, get it in your queue!!

If you don't have Netflix, go to your local movie rental place and RENT it....this weekend!!

At least, then, we'll all be on the same humor page, KWIM??!

I'm not making a full-fledged chapter out of this.

I refuse.

Becuse if I do, I'm going to have to change this from a "pre-trip report to Disney" to an "ongoing commentary on my footwear purchases" report.

But just a heads up.

I have received my Croc-ers.
They are a'foot.
HAHAHAHAHAHAHA.

::crickets chirping::

::ahem::

Anyway, I'm wearing them. And liking them. And only mildly wondering if I shouldn't have gotten the 9. My foots fits perfectly inside the little 'end of inner Croc part barrier'. (Don't know what I'm talking about? No worries. I think I'd be concerned if you did.) Doesn't peek over the sides at all. And I wonder if that means they're perfect or if I should've gone with the bigger size for a little extra front to back space.

BUT.

They are looser than I thought. It's the canvas, I know. And I'm ok with that but thusly afraid that if I were to go up a size there would be altogether too much room in there and I'm be trip-flopping right out of said size 9 Crocs.

BUT.

They are Cute. As. All. Get. Out.

I put them on. Walked around my cube a bit. And then I heard the voice.
It sounded a little reptilian.
More crocadilian to be specific. (NOUoFLGATORS)

And it was saying:









"Psst. Down here. Me, the cute, coral footwear. Do you know how positively NECESSARY it is to have me in the mango color? And possibly black. AND brown? I'm just sayin'."


::sigh::

My Disney VISA just started to weep in my wallet.

 

[willwriteforears]

Hey, no worries! Several of us are getting our footwear joy through you, thereby saving us and our own credit cards. Thanks for taking one for the team, Tink!

 

[Lady Lallie]

I am glad you are enjoying your crocs! It makes me want another pair.

 

[TarzansKat]

First of all over the Croc commentary on how it desires to be purchased in several colors and your Disney Visa lameting its...dare I say...abundance of use? Not that I'd have any personal experience with that, mind you. :::ahem:::

I'm glad you like the flippies! That are not floppy. Tee hee.

No seriously....perhaps a posting of a pic of said flippies might be nice...just sayin...

 

[Sarilas]

No seriously....perhaps a posting of a pic of said flippies might be nice...just sayin...

I second that emotion.

 

[If U Had Wings]

Glad to hear your enjoying your new crocs. Watch out for that Visa that's trying to lead you into trouble!

 

[Dragonfly*Tink]

Hi! I am signing up! Extremely entertaining - you are a great writer. I have to admit - I was lazy I read all the links first. I laughed, I cried. Your memory of your grandmother is similar to my own. I still miss her. Anywho ... have a great trip - unfortunately for me, you arrive, the day I leave

 

[Tinkerbellarella]

Oh.
I see.
So, my uninhibited shoe-buying is for the greater good?
I am, selflessly, saving dozens of DISers (ahem coughsnortmostlyLapuLapuettes) gazillions of pesos of credit card debt?
Wow.
I feel all super-hero-y now.
I'm going to go tell the BF that my shoe obsession and purchasing is a charitable cause.

I am glad you are enjoying your crocs! It makes me want another pair.

I'm thinking I want a pair like these in a solid color now that I know that I don't mind them not being all plastic-y, rubber-y, mystery-Croc-y material. Since the Capris don't come in solid colors. I might venture out and purchase a pair of the Cretes.

No seriously....perhaps a posting of a pic of said flippies might be nice...just sayin...

I second that emotion.

Well, I'm hoping to pretty up my tootsies this weekend as they haven't had that kind of attention since the wedding, so, perhaps once they are in a shinier, OPI-ier state, I'll be your own personal Croc footwear model.

Watch out for that Visa that's trying to lead you into trouble!

I read this and immediately thought of the beginning of the PotC ride where the pirate narrator says something like this:

"Properly warned ye be, says I. Dead men tell no tales."

Hello! And welcome!

We shall be like passing ships in the night.
Only I get to be the Black Pearl.

Ooh, and as a superhero, of course you've got to have killer shoes! Since that's your entire superhero-purpose. Giving us shoe-joy, I mean. So it's really circular, but it still displays the necessity of cute shoes.

 

[PrincessV]

Uummm... I'll admit that I know EXACTLY what you're talking about!

Doesn't peek over the sides at all. And I wonder if that means they're perfect or if I should've gone with the bigger size for a little extra front to back space.

That's just how mine fit and they're perfect!

They are looser than I thought.

Yep, that kind of threw me, too. But here's the thing - your feet will swell down here. In the heat. You'll be glad of that extra wiggle room. Trust V.

None taken. It's in the reptilian family!

"Psst. Down here. Me, the cute, coral footwear. Do you know how positively NECESSARY it is to have me in the mango color? And possibly black. AND brown? I'm just sayin'."

My new brown Croc flips are really, really nice.

What shall my superhero moniker be?
As obviously, during the day, I'm the unassuming Tinkerbellarella.
When I see terrible shoe faux pas do I become:
The Great American Shoe Queen?
The Pink Kitten Heel?
Shoe-per Girl?

That's just how mine fit and they're perfect!

Yay!!! Makes me feel better about keeping the 8.

Yep, that kind of threw me, too. But here's the thing - your feet will swell down here. In the heat. You'll be glad of that extra wiggle room. Trust V.

I've gotten used to it and don't mind it.
And I trust V. About everything.
Except Weiner Salad.

My new brown Croc flips are really, really nice.

Ssshhh. Don't encourage my fingers to taptaptap over on to shoebuy.com.

My vote's on The Pink Kitten Heel.

 

[2xcited2sleep]

Another vote for the Pink Kitten Heel!

 

[TarzansKat]

Am I the only crazy who likes Shoe-per girl?

Instead of Krypto, we could call one of your kitties Manalo!

 

[Lady Lallie]

I personally like Shoe-per Girl as well.
