Amazing what $3.50 and a little paint can do

I've owned a lot of sneakers in my day but I've never had a pair that people actually take the time to compliment. I've had three separate occasions where total strangers have walked up to me on the street to compliment them and a dozen more in the workplace. I guess I have more fashion sense than I thought!

Hey Helen, I like Peace Signs too! I don't always get compliments though. Sometimes I catch crap from liberals, other times from Conservatives, and I have 1 Peace Sign T-Shirt that seems to piss the extremes of both sides off. (which of course, is part of the fun).

Tell me what you think, if you're of a mind to check it out...

Hi Helen! Wear what you want! Who really cares about what anyone else has to say?? Impress yourself! No, Janet did not divorce you, lol, I was looking at your profile and you had a lot of "exes." Peace!!!
