Woman Logic 101 -

Woman sees hideously beautiful boots. (Ugly but beautiful in an Ed Hardy sort of way)
Woman wants Hideously Beautiful Boots.
Woman convinces herself that Hideously Beautiful Boots are completely impractive and thus resists temptation.
Woman sees Hideously Beautiful Boots EVERY time she goes to ANY Western Wear store.
Woman resists Hideously Beautiful Boots EACH time.
Woman is informed by Lover/Husband-Creature that he wishes to get married in blue jeans. (ooo-kay)
Woman FINALLY has a rational excuse for purchase of Hideously Beautiful Boots.
Woman & Husband-creature go to Western Wear store for boots that are not stained with horse/cow/sheep poop
Woman cannot find Hideously Beautiful Boots. (what??!#!)
Woman is sad, but settles for Acceptable Boots.
Woman searches for Blingy Blue Jeans that she has also found completely impractical and refused to purchase in the past.
Woman cannot find Blingy Blue Jeans in her size. (too big/too small/too short/too tall)
Woman calls Dear Friend and arranges Girls' Shopping Adventure.
Woman & Dear Friend begin adventure to find blue jeans for both of them and boots for Dear Friend.
Woman cannot find Bling Blue Jeans in her size. (too big/too small/too short/too tall)
Woman settles for "tried and true" Boring Blue Jeans.
Woman is bummed.
Woman walks around the corner and runs right smack into Hideously Beautiful Boots! - IN HER SIZE!
Woman decides this is a Sign From Heaven (Woman hears Angels singing!)
Woman calls Husband-creature to inform him that she is purchasing Hideously Beautiful Boots (that she is certain he will hate) despite the fact that she already purchased a pair of Perfectly Acceptable Boots that he loves.
Woman mentally calculates cost of a "normal wedding."
Woman closes eyes and throws credit card at cashier.

And THAT's how these Hideously Beautiful Boots (that will NEVER step in horse/cow/sheep poop) came to be in my closet!

Are they not delightfully ugly yet, adorable?

Other Half took one look at them and groaned. But since he's seen me linger over these boots MANY times before, he knew that he was powerless before the irresistible attraction of Hideously Beautiful Boots!

First of all, Best Wishes on your upcoming marriage. I think you have planned the ideal wedding. As for the boots... they are the most perfect "go to meetin'... I mean "wedding" boots I have ever seen How could you NOT buy them? You couldn't have designed better boots to be married in. Make sure we see pictures of the big day.

I LOVE them! They are so soft! And the design is not just painted on, it's actually different layers of leather and stitching. Lots of detailed work. They really are a work of art. He is ho-hum about them, but I just LOVE them! They speak to the "girl" in me!

Wicked.....WAY wicked!!!!! I LOVE 'em......and they are perfect for a blue jean wedding.

I've always thought the beautiful stitching on the neck of the boots was wasted--the jeans always cover it up.

LOVE THEM!!! I WANT SOME TOO! Congratulations! I think the wedding plans sound perfect! I've been looking at "Hideously Beautiful Boots" for a while, just haven't had the nerve to buy them. I think I might go shopping later!!!

I sooo can relate. I too have a pair of hediously beautiful (to me) boots. They are bright red and I LOVE them!! My husband like yours just sighed when I got them. He will now grudgingly admit they are not too bad now :-)

Hearts (anything with hearts I love!!!), peace and angel wings...how could you go wrong wearing these. You will feel special everytime you put them on. Just don't let Blue Heeler taste them. :-)

For some reason, my favorite part of the boots is the blue stitching outlining the hearts. :) Congrats!

That does it. Must tell spouse we're up for another wedding (we've had three, long story). As soon as I find a pair of these hideously beautiful boots. LOVE them. After wedding, I'd have to wear them every day. Have. To. Story is perfect! Best wishes on a wonderful wedding! ;)

Came to visit from Jane's "Literary Horse." Though I'm not a big "cowboy boot" fan (aka "pointy-toed sh*t-kickers"), I gotta admit those are pretty nice! I also love your blog! I'm home on medical leave right now, so have spent the last few days going back to the beginning. Quite a ride! I think I could live without the goats (they're so stupid they're smart...Or is it that they're so smart, they're stupid?), but all the rest of your critters are great! Love Brier, and the rest of the pack, and sweet sheep babies, and lovely horses, and gorgeous calico kitties.

Sorry you're out on medical leave, but glad you have the time to join us! I've never been a big pointy-toe boot person either. These don't have that "roach-killer" look, so they're okay! I have finally switched from goats to sheep. Goats do seem to have more personality, but the sheep are so much easier to handle. And when you're as busy as we are, ease of handling is better than personality!
