Shoe Carnival

So my first pseudo job in NY has been sitting at a booth at the NY SHOE EXPO! WTF?! Long story short, my friend Amanda works for a mag called Footwear Plus and they needed someone to man the booth, hand out free issues, etc. for 2 days. I get $200 so what the hell. BUT OH MY GOD SO FUCKING BORING! Plus, the entire experience has completely reaffirmed that fact that I am not a fashionista nor am i a shoe person. If any of you out there know me well, you know that I am a cheap ass and refuse to spend $$ on nice shoes because i just spill shit on them, ruin them in the rain, or wear them out. So my entire shoe closet consists of Payless, Target, and TJMAXX specials. Little did i know that these people are not only shoe distributors/designers but they are really creepy Shoepeople! There is no looking at one's face first, oh no, it's right to the shoes (mine were a cute cheap pair of Wal-Mart heels i bought for 16 bucks). And i swear to GOD...dozens of skeevy looking middle aged men named Gianni stared down at my callused, blistered, and eventually bleeding feet, er shoes in complete and utter disgust. At first I was mortified, and then i realized that most of them were wearing white, leather loafers or shoes of two different colors (cause apparently that's in now?). Ick. Whatever. Tomorrow I'm wearing $6 flipflops from Targgggggggget. Take that bitches. Oh, and i totally heard a woman doing key bumps in the stall next to me in the bathroom. Awesome.
