Your post makes me think of a pair of red shoes that I bought from QVC., I think they were earthies,. Anyway I showed them to my friend and she said those are the ugliest shoes I've ever seen. I just laughed and now ever so often I send her a picture of my shoes in a different setting, like on the porch next to a pumpkin. It has become a running joke, and it's good to remember that tastes differ.
