Why don't you fit? >>

Dear Jeffrey Campbell skimmers,
It's very hard to find shoes I like. I purchased you on super sale ($35 from $100) in a size 9. I demand you fit my 8.5 sized foot because I must keep you...and because you were such a steal.

I see you... >>

I adore Google maps! In two years, I've accumulated 13,900 visitors. Now I need to find a way to reel in visitors from Greenland and China.

Gush.

There's no need for me to take my pooch to a studio for a portrait. Catuli is always camera ready.
