Foot Wear


I set up a Twitter account a while ago. It sat unused for months maybe even an entire year. Back in the fall I decided that I would give it a go. I would tell the world all my personal feelings and thoughts. I would 'tweet' about buying stuff or what I overheard someone say. Basically, I love it. I have the app on my phone and whenever I find myself sitting with my phone, I immediately tweet something. I also find it fun to read other people's tweets and what they have to say. Actually now that I think about it, the best part is that immediate connection with celebrities. I mean, you don't get more personal with celebrities than that.
I think one of my favourite tweeters is Thomas Gibson who plays Aaron Hotchner in Criminal Minds. First off, I love that he tweets from set or posts pictures of the cast on set. Second (and my favourite part) is his shoe pictures. He always posts pictures of people's shoes and his own. I mean you could consider it weird but I'd consider it somewhat cool. I don't think we look at eachother's feet enough. What someone wears on their feet says a lot about them. Style, colour, shape, etc .. I really like red footwear. My Dad started it with his want for red shoes. I bought red Hunter boots over a year ago and I get non-stop compliments because most people have basic black or blue. Recently I bought a pair of Toms in red. Just as a side note, everyone should purchase a pair of Toms. They are the most comfy shoes and really fashionable in a simple way. Back to my point - I love how they stand out. People ask where I got them and how I found red. Even stores that sell the style of shoe ask how I got my hands on red ones. Overall, I really like how Thomas Gibson takes pictures of shoes and tweets it. It's just a neat idea and it shows something about people. I decided to take a page out of his books and do shoe pictures except I am going to feature my red "travelling Toms". Where have they been and what have they touched? It sounds weird but it'll be something fun.
