Lady Macbeth in trekking shoes




If I could choose a role in Shakespeare, I've a fetish for Lady Macbeth. (1) I love mad characters (2) love mad women roles (3) love the turmoil of murder and conscience within a woman who seems untouched by milk of mercies

But I also love trekking, shopping: adventure and superficial pleasures. Lady Macbeth and superficial happiness over shoes found in one and the same person...

Yet, a Jimmy Choo $1,000.00 shoes will never be comfy on my feet. Just imagine stepping on the invinsible spit on the pavement, the residue of some pedigree and not-so-pedigree dog, corpse of roaches and dust of all poisonous ashes of industrialisation. Nah, One thousand dollars to step on all these? Unworthy.

Art is like baby shoes. When you coat them with gold, they can no longer be worn.
John Updike
