Out of Touch
Yesterday I attended a friend's wedding and another friend was wearing a new pair of shoes. Other friends were oohing over the shoes (that's how I knew they were new) and talking about how they were "Fluevog's." I had never heard of this type of shoe so I said, "What are Fluevog's?" and was told that they are very fancy-pants shoes. (And they are, in fact, very lovely.) And then I said, "Where does one buy these Fluevog's?" and was told, "At the john Fluevog store on Newbury Street."
So I am quite old and out of touch. At least in the realm of fancy shoes. Because I didn't know, even while they were talking, whether Fluevog was a /brand/ of shoe or a /style/ of shoe or what! I guess I'm just a crappy shoes kind of gal. :)

At the wedding, a number of the groom's family members did this traditional Ukrainian Bread Dance. There was an informational card on the table about how this special Ukrainian Wedding Bread is made and what it symbolizes and all of that, and it was very nice. And then the family members were doing those Eastern European high kicks and bouncing around with the bread and there was a lot of polka music and the women were doing these line kicks and these spins and let me tell you, it was majorly kick ass. Everyone was clapping and one relative got so into the spinning that she fell into an arrangement of plants! Damn, I wish I had some sort of cool ceremonial thinger.
My grandmother is Ukrainian. She married a Portuguese dude, so I guess she kind of stopped doing a number of Ukrainian things aside from making pierogies and galumpkes and things like that. I think I'll ask her if she knows about this mysterious Bread Dance.

I only know what Fluevog's are because Melissa's like a major shoe freak and has a pair.

I've heard the word "Fluevog" but never really knew what it referred to, only that it had to do with shoes.

The only ceremonial thing we did was "growing up on the South Shore" ceremonial. In honor of countless middle-school dances, the last song played at our reception was "Stairway to Heaven." Oh, and I did Irish stepdancing.....in my floor-length gown.

I have a pair, I wear them only on Fridays ... and not every Friday either. They are "ox-blood" in colour and claim to ward of Satan on the sole. They are cool looking and solid, but the least comfy of my small footwear arsenal. The Fluevog has some very delicious and highly impracticle footwear for the female of the species. Mine are barely acceptable: hence my ownership, and due to the quality: still in rotation.
I trust your "coif" was a hit at the event ...

The hair was definitely appreciated. A friend even said, "Err, I just noticed that you are wearing a dress and curls." All of your shellac held out until the very end of the night.

I am going to have to do more research on these shoes. Information just keeps piling up!

Fluevogs: So pretty, but so expensive. I'd love a pair but can't justify. They make lots of dykey styles too. I only know what they are because they have a store right by my bus stop home from the clinic.

And you HAVE to invite me to your wedding so I can see you dance in a pig trough.

You'll have to come to one of my brothers weddings. Dancing in the pig trough is my punishment for not marrying quick enough.
