BEAUTY KNOWS NO PAIN

BFF: Look at these shoes I bought in Spain.
Me: Oh my God I LOVE THEM
BFF: Well they're too small for me, if you can get your feet into them, you can have them.
Me: Hand em over.
BFF: Baglett, I was joking. They're a size 6 and you're a yeti size 8.
Me: Look! They fit!
BFF: No they don't.
Me: Yes they do. The Spanish have bigger sizes than we do.
BFF: No they don't.
Me: How would you know?
BFF: I live there.
Me: Pffft. That proves nothing.
BFF: Why is your face going red?
Me: Because I'm so happy with my new shoes
BFF: Why are your toes bleeding?
Me: They always do that when they're happy.

If I listen really carefully I can actually hear my feet screaming.

i worked in a high end shoe store in a ski resort once...
selling shoes to rich women=taking candy from infant

"can i try this xxx shoe..size 34"
[rumble in the back and return]
"wow it's really tight, is the sizing small in xxx brand?"
"erm yes, shall i get you the 35?"
[quickly return to back and find it on the stool where i just put it]
"oh wow, it fits fine. i never wear a 35 - maybe my feet feel funny from ski boots all day"
"yes, that happens.they look great"
[and so concludes another sale]

It's a bit like when I squeeze into The Girfriend's size 4 stilletos while she's at work.

My toes may resent me, but I still feel like a million bucks.
