The web site provides easy navigation to view shoes and purses, including helping you with your size. They have a page that will explain what vegan materials are all about and why its important to you. I was very suprised to see the everday shoe and pump I would wear to work or out on town. They also include several vegan accessories to choose form.

Further the web site includes on line sales and sales support. Sales are posted and details on how to purchase a gift certificate for a friend. I know one friend who is a staunch vegan, but I have yet to hear her talk about her cruelty free shoes. She will be overjoyed.

Sweet Land

Why is it that some of the very best films can not get into more theaters and reach a broad audience across the States. Here we rented Sweet Land with Elizabeth Reaser from Greys Anatomy etc and loved it. Finally, a movie that without all the puff about real love and dedication. Sure its about a mail order bride in the 20′s, but she had time to back out. In fact, the whole movie is the struggle of the bride obtaining her citizenship and hence be married to the hard working Norweigen. The movie touches on our biases of people from other lands to yet another banker foreclosing on yet another farm not making enough to pay the mortgage. Wow has Ned Beatty grown old yet still very effective. The budget was only a million and had they only found a distributor that had the muscle to put it in more theaters.

Auto Mechanics

I guess its Auto day for me today. I just learned that Auto Zone’s profit increased in the second quarter by 8.6%. I have to guess that we have not only decided not to buy brand new cars as I wrote about below but have also decided to keep driving our current car and on top of it all, fix it ourselves. Could this be a little metaphor from the early days of Home Depot, where we all became Handymen and women, updating our current home rather than buying a new one? That could be a stretch but the point is that we can take on a few jobs ourselves. Walmart wants 30 bucks to change your oil. I can do it myself for 12.50 from Auto zone and take the oil back to them to recycle. I think its a great idea. Why not show your kids some home mechanical work too at the same time. Of course, things like timing belts and transmission work should go the pros, you will be amazed how you can top off all your fluids by yourself. Very few cars have to be lubed anymore. Remember those huge lube guns you would snap on at the hubs to lube…those are gone and are impacted at the factory. So now its just oil and the filter which is just a snap. Good luck auto parts stores as we all become more self sufficient.

The New Cliche

We have all heard of the self fulling prophecy, that is, that whatever you believe will happen as you repeat it over and over again in your brain, comes out into your actions and guess what it….it happens. Right now we need to get rid of “Its the economy” within our vernacular. If we continue to blame the current economy on everything but ourselves, plus decide to do nothing, take no more risks and stay steady because “the economy” then we will meet doom itself. No one seems to want to take the first step in making things better for themselves, we’ll just wait and see what happens. This is not the American spirit. Lets just wait and see what the government does. Well, that is just nonsense. When was the last time you made a personal decision waiting for the government to make a new policy. Of course you never did. We are going through a global correction and moving into a new era that I coined, “The Era of Contentment” I have all that I need, I do not need to go to Disneyland, I do not need a new car, I have a good one now and these clothes I have are just fine. I have all the gizmo’s I could possibly need. What I see now is an opportunity to create, start a business, go back to school and meet the needs of the new corrected society. Just blaming the now tired cliche, “Its the Economy” will just not do.

Show me the Money?

I tried to watch the new game show starring William Shatner “Show me the Money” and it was awful. It appeared to be strip club meets Deal or no Deal. They have girls come out and dance around the stage, and then hang out in these areas on the stage with what looks like a stripper pole in the middle. Then the contestants, come up and answer a question, and then choose one of the ladies to reveal an amount of money they are holding. The contestant needs to get 6 questions right in order to collect the money, or get 6 wrong to loose it all. The pot of money can either grow or decrease depending on whether they get the question right, and the amount of money that is revealed. William Shatner, is better suited for the Star Trek and Priceline commercials that he is at hosting a game show.

It was like one of those weird shows where you know it is a waste of time, but you have to what train wreck is going to happen. I am sure it will stay on for a while, mainly because of the beautiful women they have dancing on stage. If only Mr. Shatner could say “Beam me up Scottie” and save us all the msiery.
