Check out Celestial's blog for a witty and beautiful header.<br /><br />Oh lord, Laurie, NOT glamorous. But I do think about what I put on my feet in relation to what is just above them, which in Vermont, for most of the year, is socks, boots, and jeansEulalia Benejam Cobbhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13247079657985430691noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2226876762714358061.post-22836522970133184702010-01-28T07:47:33.252-05:002010-01-28T07:47:33.252-05:00(that said, you sound *so* much more glamorous tha...(that said, you sound *so* much more glamorous than i. i do not build outfits from the ground up, or from any other direction. i just put on clothes. but shoes are clothes!lauriehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18055442432266567561noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2226876762714358061.post-11041947733148917522010-01-28T07:46:58.619-05:002010-01-28T07:46:58.619-05:00i am completely with you. i think it's rude t...i am completely with you. i think it's rude to ask people to remove their shoes, and to me it shows that the host values their furnishings over their guests.<br /><br />i do usually offer when i go to the house of a stranger or someone i don't know well (to do an interview, or whatever) but i am always happy when they say no need. and i do the same.<br /><br />heck, with two dogs tracking in and out, what's a little more dirt? households that require no shoes seem singularly lacking in generosity.lauriehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18055442432266567561noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2226876762714358061.post-62761102895276211252010-01-28T07:34:02.281-05:002010-01-28T07:34:02.281-05:00I remember feeling fairly offended the first time ...I remember feeling fairly offended the first time I was asked to do this. I understand it, but if it's not muddy/snowy/wet out, it feels like you're being asked to remove...well, any other piece of clothing. It feels personal. Of course if it is muddy/snow/wet out, I get it! And, as long as I've brought slippers (something I've learned to do, because I can't stand getting my socks wet), I will offer to remove my shoes/boots at the door and might even prefer to.Indigo Buntinghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11387698096732697805noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2226876762714358061.post-89890561838841807822010-01-28T02:47:20.870-05:002010-01-28T02:47:20.870-05:00I am sorry you feel this way, but thanks for bring...I am sorry you feel this way, but thanks for bringing up this subject.<br /><br />I have an whole blog about removing shoes in homes: <a href="http://shoesoffatthedoorplease.blogspot.com/" rel="nofollow">Shoes Off at the Door, Please</a> You might like to take a look.Matthew Celestinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02874430461346560520noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2226876762714358061.post-70301349038179186362010-01-27T23:23:48.878-05:002010-01-27T23:23:48.878-05:00Thank you!

I refuse.<br /><br />Thank you!Dona (waxwing)http://dponline.org/weblognoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2226876762714358061.post-14934763861051876062010-01-27T18:27:38.157-05:002010-01-27T18:27:38.157-05:00My sentiments EXACTLY.
