Shoes. Flashing.

RantWoman's Free Will Astrology Horoscope for the upcoming week:

CANCER (June 21–July 22): The Cancerian soprano Kirsten Flagstad was regarded as one of the great operatic singers of the 20th century. Critic Desmond Shawe-Taylor said, "No one within living memory surpassed her in sheer beauty and consistency of line and tone." She specialized in the operas of German composer Richard Wagner, whose masterwork, Der Ring des Nibelungen, takes 15 hours to perform. Flagstad was asked to name the single most important thing she needed in order to perform Wagner's music with the excellence it demanded. Her answer: comfortable shoes. Regard that as good advice for your own life and work, Cancerian—both literally and metaphorically. It's time to get really well-grounded.


Okay, Start with the shoes. RantWoman has no intentions of singing The Ring of the Niebelungen anytime soon, let alone in the kind of shoes she has in mind, well, MAYBE, but go for the shoes anyway! RantWoman has LONG had serious shoe envy, shoe envy for all those wonderful flashing shoes RantWoman has seen toddlers and preschoolers sporting. So first some riffs on a suggestion from a wonderful sales clerk at Nordstrom MEN's shoes about flashing shoes in grownup sizes and not just grownup sizes, but sizess RantWoman would wear: LA Gear online.

Below the rest of this rant are some more visuals, including some DIY options. The main point: RantWoman is THRILLED by a new sense of possibility.  RantWoman is BROKE and is going to have to delay efforts to acquire / create shoes anyway, she is not even going to try to poke through search engine results for details like size and width options yet. Still, the sense of possibility alone is AWESOME.





RantWoman is sometimes inspired by a good DIY option and also notes the existence of kit options:
