I just want little ears and a fluffy tail

I want these shoes! They're from BC and they sell them at Nordstrom. I think I might ask Neaner if her roommate can snag me a pair. I think they're so cute!!!!

Drawback - it's very likely that I am the only person on earth who thinks these are acceptable footwear. My mom thought they were slippers and Kyle's reaction was "You'd wear those out?"
Um, no. I'd wear these EVERYWHERE! In, out, up, down...I think nothing would set off those neutral Express slacks like a couple of whiskers peeking out from beneath the cuffs.

I admit, I'm one of those people who is a sucker for cute. The only problem is that I'm a total closet case. I can't help it. I've heard the snickers and mean comments about girls with Hello Kitty purses and snow caps with kitty ears. I know all the terrible things that are said about people who wear t-shirts with cartoon characters on them. So I have this small section in my closet devoted to clothes that I really like, but that I can only wear on the weekends when I'm hanging out with Kyle. Kyle gets the whole cute thing. He, too, enjoys a good cartoon on his t-shirt. He's not really with me on the bunny shoes thing, but if they come out with adult ninja turtle pjs, I know he's going to be all about it.

Why is cute so looked down on? Ok, I get the whole immaturity thing. I suppose grown ups should dress like grown ups. It totally blows, though, because kids have all the coolest stuff. Character watches, shoes that light up...oh man, don't get me started on the tennis shoes with the roller skate wheels built right in. I'm not even sure what would happen if I started to glide down the halls of Moritz.

I just might have to start a revolution. It will be quiet, but if you look closely, you might notice a little pink nose peeking out from under my jeans the next time you see me...

Why should grown ups dress like grown ups. People should dress however they want.
