Now I remember
Jun. 25th, 2007 02:17 pmWhy I've not worn flipflops since I was, oh, maybe 12?
FWOP FWOP FWOP all day long!
They are cute and fashionable so I picked up an $8 pair at the Japanese market - they are cool black/multi brocade with thick rubber soles and look kind of like zori. I even painted my toenails blue to go with the brocade.
However, women in zori walk with very small steps and slightly pigeon-toed. One assumes this is not only to not disarrange their kimono but also presumable cuts down on the noise. However, you can't do that if the soles are rubber and the walking surface is carpet, because you stick and then stumble. And if you walk like a gaijun, you FWOP FWOP. Sigh.
This is what happens when I try to do "girl". I fail.
