Running Shoes & Fashion Statements

I was pretty free this morning and was basically surfing the net checking out some running shoes. I'm thinking of running again and need a good pair of shoes. Well, that is if I ever start running again. I'll tell you all about that in another post soon.

Anyways, there I was surfing and looking for some running shoes and I overheard my colleagues gossiping about this site called Fashionling.com. And I wasn't eavesdropping just so you know. They talk so loud that the whole office can listen in :D

I heard them mention that you can even find running shoes there and that's when I decided to butt in the conversation. Anything to do with running will always pique my curiosity. So I turn to them and ask them just what in heavens name is a Fashionling?

They stop their gossiping, give me this weird look like I'm some kind of ancient dinosaur and proceed to tell me all about Fashionling. I found out that it's actually an online site about everything that is fashion. Well, it's more than fashion apparently cos it covers everything beyond the runway and beyond the clothes even.

Fashionling chronicles the trail right from the runway up to dishing out the latest gossip in super modeling to finding the hottest new Japanese fashions even. Not that I know anything about fashion if it came up and bit me on the nose. My taste in fashion is an old worn out round neck t-shirt and a nice comfy pair of Bermudas ... LOL!

But being the curious person that I am and also the fact that it stupefies me how running shoes can end up as a fashion statement, I checked the site out and found out that it's a pretty cool site, well, if you're into shopping and trying to find the latest scoop on people like Abbey Clancy and all that.

And just who is Abbey Clancy you may ask? No, She is not the wife or even the daughter of author Tom Clancy. Apparently Abbey Clancy is the girl friend to Peter Crouch, that bean pole ex-Liverpool striker and was jealous about the attention he was getting from some other bimbo at his birthday party.

Now, why would two women fight about Peter Crouch defies logic. That fellow doesn't exactly have the look of a ladies man, mind you ... LOL! Anyway, go read about it at the news section of Fashionling. They also have a host of other interesting news that may just be up your alley :D I'm not really into these celebrity gossip and stuff.

On a different note, wifey complains that whenever we eat out, well, when we used to eat out anyway, that I would always end up ordering the most expensive drink around. Whenever we eat out, I'll always tell the boys to order not too expensive drinks (yeah, yeah I'm a cheapskate ... hehehe) but I'll end up buying the most expensive drink.

I didn't believe her. I said maybe it was a coincidence that I just happened to order an expensive drink and thought nothing about it. Then about a week ago or so, we went shopping and decided to rest and get ourselves some food and drinks and just to prove her theory right, when we were ordering drinks, she kept quiet while I was making my order. And true enough, I actually ordered a drink that cost twice the price of everyone else's without even realizing it ... hehehe ...

And when she pointed it out I had nothing but a sheepish and embarrassed smile for her. Well, I guess she was right afterall. There I am telling the boys to order cheaper drinks and I go and order expensive ones with weird names like crushed chocolate love or something along those lines ... LOL!
