11:11

Growing up, it was as if my foot never ceased growing. At 12 I was wearing 9.5 Ferragamos, and now in my twenties, I flaunt a lovely size 11. While discrimination is supposedly obsolete, stores everywhere and everyday turn me away because my feet are just far too big (at 14 I was told to go to a transvestite shoe store to accommodate my request for such a large ladies shoe).I declare it time for equality for all feet, toes, and nails alike!

Big Offender, Big Footstration

I was once again reminded this past weekend how frustrating it can be to go into a store and not be able to shop with your friends for shoes. Bloomingdales is a repeat offender. While the two stores in NYC have more size 11s than the stores in PA, I am repeatedly disappointed when I request assistance from a sales person, only to hear the same words of, "Only Tory Burch, Cole Haan, and Frye come in 11s - All the others I am not sure." Those words are enough to get me to drive out of town straight to a Nordstrom. So much for the Friends & Family Sale. :(

    Don't forget about the fact that the salespeople will often come out with the shoe in size 10 for you to try! What do they want us to do? Cut off our toes?
