Mentos Moment

I've had several Mentos moments throughout my life. In fact, they've been so frequent, I can't remember them all. The last one was my navy boots from Bill Hallman. I went out for a girl's night around Mardi Gras. Got a little crazy at a theme party at Opera and the two inch heel to my boot fell off. I was so drunk that night, it didn't matter, but I must have looked like a hobbling idiot.

Just remembered another one. Cute black suede with white ribbon heels from Banana Republic. The heel didn't completely fall off while I was walking around at work, but it did bend inward to where I couldn't wear them any longer.

The latest happened this evening at Atlantic Station. I'd been looking forward to my date with Harry Potter all day. I got to work at the ass crack of dawn and planned to leave early because of it to see the 4:10 show of HP 6. I get a small popcorn and small Coke from the concession stand and as I'm walking towards my theatre, my left foot comes completely out of my Dr. Scholl's. I figure I just walked out of it, but I look down and the strap holding the shoe together had completely broken. No possible way to fix it. Had to walk into the theatre holding my shoe and had to wait for everyone to exit the theatre after the movie (5 stars from me btw) so I wouldn't look like an idiot to everyone. Even after waiting for the theatre to clear, there were still a lot of people out, so I had to act like something happened to my left foot as I was walked to Old Navy to get a pair of $3 flops so as not to look like an idiot. Definitely got some stares, but I like to think they were "aww what happened to her foot?" stares and not "what the hell?" stares.

GUH.
