Obsessing


I should probably start out by saying I really love New York. Generally, it's a borderline obsession. I've learned to embrace it all- the good, the bad and the ugly. I love the homeless man who sits on my corner and the steaming sewer grates, the endless piles of trash bags lining the streets and sometimes even the dirty subway station. Safe to say, I think I can handle most of the negatives of New York...

HOWEVER

My beloved New York does not have a Target. Ok fine, there is one uptown (Bronx maybe?) and one in Brooklyn but they suck. They suck so bad. They are basically small-ish stores with the Target name on the front and Target priced items but with none of the clothes or cute things you go to Target for. Take those things away and you're basically just left with overpriced dish soap- and if that's the case- I'd rather go to K-Mart.

I'm getting to a point with all of this, I promise. So there is this pair of shoes that I am so obsessed with it's becoming a problem. They are the Cynthia Vincent collection for Target and they are only sold in stores. These beautiful caramel colored wedges (FOR $29.99) have basically become the holy grail for shoe lovers. They are sold out throughout the country- according to the Target website- there is not one pair available in the entire state of California. I want them and I want them bad. Last night I met a girl who was wearing them and made her let me take a picture of her feet: I'm crazy.

So...to my Glitter Me This readers throughout the country, many of whom live oh so close to fantastic-large-sparkly Targets, I have an offer for you. Give me your zip code and I'll see if the shoes are sold in your area- you pick them up for me, I'll pay for the shoes, shipping AND I'll pay you $50 for your efforts. Doesn't that sound great? It's really a win-win!

In the meantime, I'll just be sitting here in my beautiful Target-less city waiting for your call.
