Stiletto-Mania!00:56 Feb 15 2011
Times Read: 852
Today was shoe day at work. To be specific, stiletto heel day. Had several ladies stop by to get their heels tended to.
The first one had worn her brand new, black patent leather thigh high boots...with stiletto heels spiking six inches...to her job as a TEACHER. For fuck's sake. Let's go for a little more professional look, k? Not Victoria's secret. Anyway, the lady (young chick) tried to RUN in them and broke the rod that runs down the heel. Once those are broke, you're done. Fixing them never works, because they will break again. You might as well go out and get a new pair of shoes. Well, this lady almost cried. She told us how much she paid for them (and why do people think this will affect whether or not the item can be successfully repaired? I don't care if you spent $500 or $5,000. If it's beyond fixing, we'll be honest and tell you) and she only had them for one day...and it didn't help when her mother, who had come with her (for moral support I guess) leaned over and said to her "well did we learn a little lesson here today? Leave those kind of shoes at home next time!"
LMAO....nothing like being told off by your mom in front of some other people.
Next came Miss Thang and her teeny tiny boots that she wanted stretched. She had bought these over the internet, didn't know if she could get her money back or not....and they just needed a little stretching. Well, fine, we asked her to try them on so we could see which sections needed stretching and how much.
I'm telling you, I never saw anything so funny in ages. This chick, all in Coogi gear and chunky gold jewelry, sits down in the chair and tries to get the boot (which was over the knee and reminded me of something Catwoman would wear) on her tiny little foot. Tiny little foot...which came attached to ONE MOTHER OF A CALF. ON BOTH LEGS. Her feet were a size 5, her calves....god knows. The shoe part of the boot fit fine, but there was no way the calf part could be stretched enough to fit . The boots were a very slim fit, and she was trying to wear them over her jeans. With heavy socks. She wouldn't beleive that stretching 4 inches was improbable, until we pointed out that in order to stretch THAT much there had better be some extra leather around somewhere, to fit over her calf. There was none.
Making her understand this was like trying to explain the Big Bang Theory to a squirrel. She could not understand that there wasn't a way we could stretch the top part of the boot to make it fit. Finally we got a tape measure out and measured her calf. Then we measured the top of the boot. Showed her the two measurements. THEN she got the message and started to cry. I talked to her and told her to find out who she bought those from, if it was ebay there is usually a way to return them to get a refund if it isn't right. That cheered her up a little, but she had her heart set on those boots...did I mention they were an electric fuschia with leather fringe? Egads.
The rest of the day was pretty calm. I was hoping my boss would have gotten me some sort of chocolate, but no dice. Never fear, I have a stash here at home!
And how was YOUR day?
