Now that's a woman after my own taste, shoes are the most important thing ever!

Exactly!

Have a safe and fun trip, Xie and just don't ask Gale if you can take his picture. Looks like I'll be seeing you in early February and we can work out those details when you get back!

LOL, Gale is safe from me.

And don’t forget that you have to leave room in your suitcase for the shoes you’re going to buy while you’re in NY.

OMG!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

When in doubt, wear black. Something slinky and sexy.

Or red. I think you'd look amazing in red. Not just cause it's my favorite color or anything.

I'm just saying.

I mostly wear black.

Ooops, posted too soon.

Once I went to New York, and a friend came to my hotel room to meet me for lunch. I opened my suitcase to unpack before we went out, and she looked in and said, "Going to a lot of funerals?"

EVERYTHING in my suitcase was black. EVERYTHING.

K, then that was a good choice.

And you should have called me, I could have come down, and you could have done a fashion show for me, and we'd have you all set.

We could still do that sometime, you know. :)

Or red. I think you'd look amazing in red.

she does look amazing in red....

*blush*

*blush*

Told ya you look wonderful in red *grins predatorily*

Have a wonderful time Darling.

::: muttering incoherently about putting the Thule box BACK on the XTerra before we go to LA :::

Umm. I sure hope one medium sized SUV will be enough for Xena Con's outfits!

Well, the only thing is I won't need a winter coat in LA. But we'll be there one more day so, oh oh.

Xie

But we'll be there one more day so, oh oh.

Thankfully, WAY more than a day. I should consider actually taking all the dog beds out, clearly. Wasn't going to, but suddenly I feel like I will need the space!

;)

I do the same overpacking thing--with clothes. I'll have a huge suitcase stuffed full of outfits/coats and sweaters, but only 2 pairs of shoes to use with all of them. In NY, I may only have the ones on my feet, actually...Hmm.

TELL ME NOW THAT I MAY HAVE THAT ICON!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! NOW NOW NOW NOW NOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

LOL! Of course you can have it! :-)

I was bored today, and I discovered a *font* that's actually pictures of shoes. Really. So I made an icon.

I can add words and colors if you want...

YOU ARE TOTALLY IN MY WILL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Ok. *grins*

OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG omg omg omg ooooooooooooooo mmmmmyyyyyy god

*whimpers with want, need, excitement and envy*

*giggles*

You're welcome to use the icon if you want. ;-)

Eddie Izzard *loves*

you are the Goddess of Icon Envy* today!

Hehe, thank you! But I actually didn't make the Eddie Izzard icon...The person I got it from didn't know who to credit, either. It's a mystery.

What are you wearing to the theatre??? OMG, I don't know what to bring!

I'm going twice. I think once I'll wear a black jacket and grey slacks and maybe my beautiful red shoes, unless it's too cold in which case, my beautiful black boots with the bow.

And the other time I'm still not sure. I'm still figuring that all out. These are VERY CRITICAL DECISIONS.

Xie

I KNOW!

And none of my clothes fit me anymore! (which is actually a VERY good thing since I've shrunk by an entire 5th grader) But I have no money for new pretty clothes since I spent it all on the trip to NYC (and because I'm not done shrinking.)!

Oh well.

Darling....I truly understand. One, check baggage and bring more than one suitcase. Two, have one spectacular outfit with layers, excellent skirt or pants, shell top, sweater, excellent jacket or coat...mix and match and accessorize well with earings and SHOES or BOOTS. Three, sleep nekkid and bring tiny underwear that will fit rolled up in your shoes. Four, pack toilitries in your purse. Five, heels and a long coat always work for me.

Yipes! This advice is ONLY valid for the New York trip! There is room in the XTerra ... honestly ;)

FedX your shoes to your hotel and then you'll only need a carry-on with 4 black outfits with a few scarves or pins to add some color. This will leave room for a hair dryer. YOu don't wanna be going out in the cold with a wet head! :DD

I called the hotel. They have hairdryers. They even have a DOCK FOR MY iPOD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I think you can check two pieces of luggage without incurring a charge. :)

Oh Xie, LOL...

I guess you can wear several outfits all at once on the plane... ;) Those shoes (icon) are super cute...

Nicole

Well, I have a long and happy shoe thing. Didn't I finally know that I realized it was a fetish when I got hooked up with y'all. I'm a total babe in the woods. But shoes - I'm right there. Anyone remember when Garolini's were the absolute shit? I bought two pairs on sale when I went to visit my folks in Michigan many moons ago, and never regretted it (but my mom was appalled.) But I wanted to pass a great manuscript along to my daughter and it was not possible. She wears a size 8 wide. Major bummer.

Suzanne

Have a wonderful time, wish I could be squeezed into your bag. I'll try to be smaller than that toothbrush of yours ;)
Seriously, have a save trip. Half of the fandom seems to there!
hugs, Nicki
