christmas present exchanges with my friend lisa are well-documented on this blog. this year lisa not only sent the requisite treats (both human and dog) from her bakery, but some plant cuttings and rhizomes, and a book about... footwear.
as you see -- important issues are covered within.
i very much like the japanese "tabi"-style socks, and plan to make a pair.
... and i like the sexy babalonian footwear.
that's not all lisa gave me. also known for her literary gifts of many kinds, she sent an old, old copy of esquire, that featured not only ronald reagan modelling camelhair coats...
but this.
there are few among you incapable of imagining, i am sure, my unbridled joy on the verge of sickness upon receiving this item.
may you all receive gifts this year that get you so excited you nearly throw up.
