The Shoe Lady..

I saw her again.

Did you notice that we cross path with some people almost every other day? I usually see the most interesting people at the bus stop near my home. This morning I saw "shoe lady".

She's a working woman in her thirties, always dressed in smart but conservative suits. She's got short, bright golden brown hair with fair skin. When she walked nearer into the bus stop shelter this morning, I was pleasantly surprised that she was wearing green contacts. I seldom see woman in her age and type wear coloured contact lenses and I was immediately impressed at her confidence and sense of style. Besides, the green looks great with her hair and skin colour.

Why is she the "shoe lady"? Every morning, she will wear sloppy, cheap looking, slip on sandals to the bus stop with her power suits. But, while waiting for the bus to come, she will take off her soddy looking sandals, pull out a pair of absolutely fabulous black shiny peep toes heels from her bag and put them on. When she slips on her heel, she's transformed from an ordinary office girl into this modern, chic office executive. Ready to take on the world.

Strange, why did she put on those ugly heels and change into another pair of shoes just shortly after leaving the house? Well, at least she have emergency shoes!

Innocent victim: "Oh no! my heels broke!"
Shoe Lady to the rescue: "Don't worry, I've got an extra pair of shoes here with me!"
Innocent Victim: "Oh shoe lady! You're a life saver!"
