Tuesday {Shoes}Day! … Steve Madden

Good Morning Luv-lies

Another very, very cold night!  Stocked up yesterday on all of the essential creature comforts for another day of  ‘being snowed in’.

Not going to spend too much time complaining about the meal that nature has served us.

That’s it.  I’m over it.

The weather, that is.

I  decided to spend the day nested comfortably in my favorite loveseat, surrounded by as many creatures comforts as could reasonably fit,

watching movies on the cable channel and rifling through magazines.

My movie pick, ‘The Wolf of Wall Street’.   Couldn’t pass up a movie with the following description –

  “Sex. Money. Power. Drugs.

leowolfstory

Brace yourself for an outrageous true story from legendary filmmaker Martin Scorsese that critics are calling “a masterpiece for a new generation.”

* Leonardo DiCaprio delivers “the best performance of his career”** as a young stockbroker hungry for a life of non-stop thrills,

where corruption was king and more was never enough. His rise to power earned him the title The Wolf of Wall Street.

Together, Scorsese and DiCaprio deliver a story of American excess that is “an absolute blast from start to finish.”

Haven’t Seen it yet?

You’ll be hooked after this two minute trailer…. guaranteed.

It’s Leonardo!

Right!?

Love the trailer?

No way could I pass up this much fun and frolicking!

  I’m snowed in, after all!!!

Loved the movie! –  It didn’t disappoint.

It’s Leonardo! Right!?

Not only that, quite unexpectedly, the movie gave me the idea for today’s Tuesday {Shoes}Day Theme.  You see, according to the premise of the movie, the relationship between  Jordan Belfort and Steve Madden, landed both of these men – eventually – in the slammer!  It took a minute or two to believe that the Steve Madden that was referenced in the movie is Steve Madden – THE shoe mogul!
…. sometimes I’m slow like that …

Without further ado, here are a few pictures of my Steve Madden Favs!

The Word….

{H}appiness is an easy enough concept to grasp, but a truly elusive state to sustain.

{H}appiness is: {H}opeful.  {H}onest.  {H}uge. {H}ealthy.

{H}eartfelt.  {H}onor.  {H}umble.  {H}ospitable. {H}ypnotic.

Personal.

 

  Remember THIS  {H}appy Song!!

#You’reProbablyWondering –  ‘#What’sWithAll of the #Hashtags?

#HasSheCompletelyLostHerMind?

#DoesSheHaveAnyIdea   #HowDifficult  it is to #ReadThisPost  #WithAllofTheseDamnedHashtags?!  #NotToMentionSlightlyAnnoying?

Actually I do.  It’s distracting, confusing and downright annoying – as already pointed out.  So why subject you to this #hashtag — *couldn’t resist* —  cray-zay-ness?

  Well,  from the mouth of a usually grounded woman – ‘Do Tell’?

… and I do …

 Last evening, while hanging out with some of my ‘Tweeple‘  during a Tweet Chat, the conversations were moving along in the somewhat controlled frenzy that I’ve come to find comfort with.  *WOW!  That is one long run-on sentence?!*

Even thought the speed of the conversations can be a bit challenging, I manage to do a decent job of keeping up.  Most folk keep their tweets short and their retweets easy to track.  And so was the case last night.  ….. until this one tweet presented with a ton of Hashtags (#) & Mentions (@) !

Talking about being totally caught off guard and completely loss!  My first question was, – ‘What is this bullsh!gg!ty here!? Quickly followed by a head-scratching –  ‘holy sugar! who in  the tarhill is this person responding to? –  and – ‘why in the h%ll would someone post this kind of tom-foolery ?!

  Come On!

Do you reeeally expect someone to be able to follow this crap?! – *Now I’m shouting at my iPad – sorry Siri*  So glad no one’s around to witness this momentary breakdown….

As confused as I was with this tweet, I stayed put – but blocked all follow-up tweets from that person.  What?  Yes. I. Blocked. Them.  One frustrating tweet was enough for me!  ‘Thank You #Twitter for the ‘blocking’ feature – *a wink & a smile* is in order’

… then I gotta thinking….

… Reading this #Hashtag stuff is maaad crazy!  Wonder what would happen if we were subjected to #HashtagSpeak on a regular!?  I can see myself totally losing it! You? Well, you know that it didn’t take me long to find the answer to that question – oh the beauty of the internet (at least this time)

And

 here I have it …. for your listening pleasure…

*drum roll Puh-leaze*

#HashtagSpeak…. in the flesh… .ala, Jimmy Fallon!!!

Like I said,  I would totally lose it!

Thoughts?
