That was what I had said to 2 other girls as we were walking down a hallway once. We were all wearing heels and walking like there was no tomorrow. I,for one, have been told on numerous occasions that I walk extremely fast, for a girl...and for a girl of my height. I have also been told I have the "New Yorker Walk', whatever that means(Should I be flattered? Or offended? Perhaps the New Yorkers should be offended), I guess I'll have to record myself walking or rewatch "WallStreet". But anyway, I digress, as I often do...
Back to heels...so after I had said that the two girls on either side of me bursted into a fit of giggles. That told me that these girls knew what I was talking about and in their own little giggly way was agreeing with me. So my question is why do heels sound bitchy? Everyone knows the infamous click, click, click that I'm referring to. Men and women alike, maybe even children. It doesn't matter if the person doing the "clicking" is the sweetest person in the world, for me I believe the sound gives off a very dominate almost pushy vibe. With that said, I think this does not apply when a girl is running in heels because then the deliberate click,click,click has suddently turned into the plastic heel version of a chiwawa. Small, yappy and frantic. Nothing bitchy about that, just annoying.
I won't even go into platform shoes,because I think they are gaudy and unfeminine.
I am a heels/pumps kind of girl. Come to think of it, I can't even remember the last time I wore tennis shoes. It's just that much of my every daily activities doesn't require me to be wearing running or what some would call "comfortable shoes". Keep in mind I do wear nonheels, such as flats and sandles. It's just that I do wear heels more often than not. So what does that say about a girl who thinks that heels sound bitchy but yet wears it almost every day? Is this a case where the wearer becomes the "wear-ee"? Hmmm....
Am I the only person who thinks/feels this way about heels? I think not! I have at least two people who can attest to this!
Until next time, please pass me the Choos. ;-P

"I need to go out in order to go in" the response to that was "Yeah, I know, I need to see white in order to see black"
A group of us were working with the camera, the assistant was trying to get the camera to focus. But she didn't know which level of focus the camera was set to, so she would always zoom out completely and slowly zoom in from there. Which takes a while. So someone finally asks why she was taking so long, and her replied was "I need to go out in order to go in". The person who asked her quickly nodded in amusement and said "Yeah, I know, I need to see white in order to see black". I found the whole "exchange" to be quite entertaining - so out came the pen/notepad.
The exchange was quite funny, not just in the context and manner in which it had occured. But when you think about it for a while, you can see that it can be expanded to apply to other things in our lives. For example, how do we know we're happy if we've never been sad? Or know what chocolate souffle is like if we've only had cheesecake? Or what "unpretty" is if we don't know pretty? The answer is we wouldn't! That's what's so amusing! We think we know all that we need to know, but something or someone comes along and opens a new door or draws a curtain from a different window in the room. And when that happens, we are rarely ever the same again.
Yes, I do understand that the world is not "black and white", however it's not a matter of black or white, its more about having both black and white as options in order for us to see and understand that shades of gray can come from it.

"I don't know why, most of the shit you do would be annoying as hell, but when you do it...enchanting"
That makes me giggle to no end. But then again I seem to giggle at just about everything. My whole body is a basically a funny bone.
I don't believe I've ever been called "enchanting" up until that point. From then on, this particular gentleman would refer to me as such. It makes me smile. Maybe he'll forget 10 years from now. Who knows. =) You'll have to ask him, for I'm too shy to ask.
That was the reason why I had picked that name for my blog. As vain as I am(and maybe conceited at times), I don't think I could call myself that without proper justification from a valid and valuable outside source.
I was going to call my blog "Ramblings from a Crazy...." and then I had a list of names that I was going to use for it, but none of it worked out for none of it had a good ring to it. At least imagery wise, I was not turned on as far as the list was concern.
I think "Enchantress in Pearls" works for now. It's catchy, sorta, and sexy and suggestive. Sexy works...yes? Everyone understands sexy!
Back to the quote, I think it's quite amusing. Since that quote explains why people are smitten with one another sometimes. We've all been there, where just about everything that other person does is very entertaining and delightful to us. It's only when we ourselves start noticing how annoying something has become that we realize the magic is over. :::Chuckles::: So the question that comes to my mind at the moment is, when does it become annoying if the person has been doing what they've done all along? Do people really do get "un-enchanted" and just wake up from their state of blurriness after reality hits them? If so, why? I don't know myself, and I don't think most know either because it seems like we all do it over and over when sometimes we should know better -- get enchanted that is.
I just think it's a very interesting dynamic that we allow some to get away with some things and but won't put up with it if someone else does it. What makes this one particular so special anyhow? Says who? And why?! I mean what gives right?! I guess that's a topic for another time. =)

I figured what better way to celebrate my first blog than with a shot of vodka, and a cigar at 1:30AM. I am quite the night owl.
I am quite a talkative person, and it occured to me a while back that so much is said from moment to moment between people that great...if not brilliant ideas/thoughts/comments are lost in the chaos simply because most people aren't aware of what they say. Even if they are aware, they often forget after a while. What a tragic waste. So what I had started doing was jot down things that people would say to me or others that I found "pen worthy". I do carry a mini notepad with me at all times.
The purpose of this blog is to expand upon the quotes that I have documented -either by sharing the context in which it was said, or simply my thoughts on it. Names have been omitted to protect the guilty and not so innocent.
Great things have been said, are being said, and have yet to be said. I am very excited as to where this will take me, but for the time being I have my pen and paper ready...
