Before I left Canada, Bobbie-Sue Ticklepinky, the receptionist at Tsuga, made a request that I find some cool shoes for her. After a great deal of searching, I found this pair while attending London Fashion Week. They would have been perfect.
Unfortunately, they were already on someone else's feet. Her name was Tatiana Carbunkle and she was an 18 year old model from Iceland. She allowed me to be photographed with the boots but absolutely refused to let me purchase them.
After this photo was snapped, I tried taking them by force, but was immediately restrained by security guards who beat on me like a rubber gong. Bleeding profusely, I struggled to the bar and bravely ordered a gin and tonic which cost me (absolute God's truth here) £4.50. Please note that at current exchange rates this is roughly the equivalent of $10,000 CDN. It was at that point that I became disillusioned with the fashion world.
