Footprints 23 Paws for Thought

Have you ever wondered what it would be like to have four feet. You see! I can read your strangest thoughts little Footsies. We all know Orwell had a point when he said " Four legs good two legs bad " Take the hound. Doggy pads are so varied compared to our human footprints. True, our canine pals don't have the pleasure of owning a foot-changing shoedrobe, or get to enjoy applying nail varnish in multu colurs to delight and dazzle. And henna stencils are just too messy! But, all the same, there is something rather grand about a noble paw held out in greeting or a double pair of paws hot footing it across the wet sand leaving a specatcular set of prints to follow. Woof !

Some henna, a steady hand and a flair for a flourish, a curl and a serpentine coil or two and away you go. Practice makes perfect! Happy henna-ing my little footsies!

Footprints 21 Slip Slops

It has to be said that a pair of comfy old slippers beside the bed to slip familiarly into on rising, is a potential  fashion hazard waiting to happen. Can a slipper be ironic ? Should a slipper be iconic ? Can we afford a little utility at dawn before we make those feet of ours work the runway of the day ahead ? The answer is Yes, obviously. There has to be a moment in every day when your toes, arches and ankles touch sloppy old base, shuffle and slouch, prior to greeting the foot press pack. There is something deeply reassuring about the humble shapelessness of the dear old faithful slipper. Keep your fluffy kitten mules tucked under the bed to impress when necessary but alone, keep up those double standards and scoff your branflakes with style less delight in a pair of warm shapeless snuggies. Check out these Nokia cosies with their witty nod to vintage Flo and Andy Cap. And they could come in useful on Comic Relief's Red Nose day too.  Ah! That's better!
