An Asian will automatically find his/her way to a photobooth or a karaoke machine. It’s the law of nature, like bees are attracted to coke cans. But the Selfridges Shoe Gallery photo machine could’ve let me known beforehand that there was a human inside it – in the privacy of the booth I’d wriggled in hopes of teleporting out with the shoe I took in. Also, for some reason the only ‘shoe story’ I could think of was losing feetfat and just did not find it amusing so just sang shoebidoowapwap for 30 seconds. The photo was shoved out by a hand, from inside the slot. I now have an embarrassing shoe story, can I go back in?

Thank you Ad for inviting me down, and thank you Ellen for the shots of moi!

Whhhhatt? Shoe balloons, giant sparkly shoe sculptures, shoe cakes, AND hanging paper shoes all in one place? Not to mention the real sell-my-first-born-so-that-I-can-have-that-shoe shoes. This is a dream. This has to be a dream.

And I don’t even consider myself a shoe enthusiast. I can’t even imagine how much shoe-induced squealing was going on at that place. But actually, maybe not. Because that wouldn’t be cool.

This is why I’m not invited to these kinds of events. I would not be able to contain my squealing.

re photobooth has a person in it anecdote – I also talk or hum to myself in photobooths (it’s a thing I chose not to question) although if what happened to you happened to me I probably would have puked with fright in a capacious boot and run away.

Ohoho. There was a person inside the machine? Hilarious, bet the manual hand/photo at the end was a bit of a shock. Totally agree about the karaoke and photobooth thing, I’m definitely guilty of those things. My this place looks like shoe heaven!!
