I'm staring at a bottle of wine and can't help but wonder.What do we know about Corks ? Cork is like the geek student in the class that you never even knew his name (but was always there!)and suddenly he's the talk of the town! You must give a second look just to confirm that it is really him! It seems to me that cork has just hit the ceiling in all sorts of places. Design , Architecture , Fashion Industry even Technology . When did this material stop being just a bottle stopper and become a must-have gadget ? Suddenly everywhere I go I bump into it!
I wanted to write this post a few days ago but I kept postponing it.Until today.I orderer ANOTHER pair of jelly shoes! The 5th one. I'm wonderingwhy do girls like jelly shoes? I'm sure all of you have a pair of plastic sandals or ballerinas somewhere in your house. My first pair was a gift from my mother at the age of 2 ! Its purpose wasn't to look stylish but to protect me from hurting my feet in the sea ( I am not 100% sure about that because I'm pretty sure that I got a hereditary shoppaholic gene from her! )
Back to the question. WHY DO GIRLS LIKE JELLY SHOES? I think it has to do with Barbies and all those great plastic heels we made are dolls wear just because they were super-tiny for our feet! Think about it.. your first shoe experience was with that little skinny blond bitch Barbie ! Our Addiction is her fault! I can also blame the Aqua band with the song - Barbie world .. Just read the lyrics now that you are not 6 years old anymore.. "I'm a barbie girl, in the barbie world Life in plastic, it's fantastic! you can brush my hair, undress me everywhere Imagination, life is your creation" I asked my lovely friends Zenia and Eleni about their barbie childhood and they both said to me that they liked to dress them and cut their hair! Zenia also found a picture of the new version of Barbie .. Lets call her the Atheist Hipster Barbie. Apparently she has no shoes on .. Let's hope the next generation will find shoes useful or at least stylish.
