Nude Shoe hunt

Photo of: Alexander McQueen [RIP] - called the Heart Peep Toe Court
I know it isn't nude but it is a SEXY AND BEAUTIFUL!



Okay ladies, Spring is about to be sprung and I am in desperate need for a cute pair of nude shoes!

I am looking for church-friendly, Lilly P-friendly, professional but can wear-out-and-about nude shoes.

Any material, but patent does give it a nice polished look, and is easier to maintain!

Be Part of the Story

My brother and I in the locks at Colonial Williamsburg, 1995 or 1996.



This ad has been running recently throughout Virginia. I am completely, 100% in love with it's simple message. It is part of our nation's history, there is no reason why every American in their lifetime can't make it to Colonial Williamsburg:



Doors. Have you ever thought about them that way until after this ad? It is just gorgeous. I cannot complain about the colors in those historic buildings, either. Thank goodness for the Rockefellers, hmm?

"In 1926, the Reverend Dr. W.A.R. Goodwin, rector of Bruton Parish Church, shared his dream of preserving the city's historic buildings with philanthropist John D. Rockefeller Jr., and the restoration began.

Dr. Goodwin feared that scores of structures that had figured in the life of the colony and the founding of the nation would soon disappear forever. Rockefeller and Goodwin began a modest project to preserve a few of the more important buildings. Eventually, the work progressed and expanded to include a major portion of the colonial town, encompassing approximately 85 percent of the 18th-century capital's original area.

Mr. Rockefeller gave the project his personal leadership until his death in 1960, and it was his quiet generosity of spirit and uncompromising ethic of excellence that guided and still dominates its development. He funded the preservation of more than 80 of the original structures, the reconstruction of many buildings, and also the construction of extensive facilities to accommodate the visiting public.

In the preservation of the setting of Virginia’s 18th-century capital, Mr. Rockefeller and Dr. Goodwin saw an opportunity to ensure that the courageous ideals of the patriots who helped create the American democratic system live on for future generations."
