Description Oh happy day it’s done. I’ve been working on these for around 6 months(?) I had difficulty finishing because I procrastinated on Hoggle. I figured he’d kill me. But, I’m alive and well! Take that shoes So…I feel like the most important factor (other than the fact they clearly display my love for Labyrinth, my favorite movie ever), is that I painted them nearly entirely out of nail polish. Yeah…

So, I present to you, my hardest works, my labyrinth shoes.

Left shoe, if you'd like to view (recommended, as it's the better one) : [link]

The Right, Protagonist Shoe:
Outside: A large Sarah drawn by , a bridge, and a little party-dress Sarah in a bubble (the latter two, by me)
Inside: Sir Didymus, Ludo, and Hoggle
Front/Toe: Little ball Jareth and a mask. Jareth’s half of a heart with “such” and “sad” written on it (put together the shoes say “such a sad love”) and “But I’ll be there for you, as the world falls down” written above him.
On the back (not shown): A peach. (the peach looks crappy anyway, you’re not missing out.
Lyrics around the base of the shoe from: “Underground” and “As the World Falls Down”

Note: The glitter spray got a little close to this shoe, so a bit of the writing got smeared and had to be fixed.

Special thanks to Steph!

Labyrinth is the magnificent film baby of Jim Henson and George Lucas

I haven't seen that movie in sooooooooooo long but as I've been looking at the characters all the memories have been rushing back.

I'm very much liking how you've used typography. I think you may have discovered the next big thing. Shoes with writing on them!

I'd put writing on my shoes but first I'd have to take the mirrors off.

I'm glad these inspired memories. I love Labyrinth. I've seen it over 500 times, without exaggeration.

I like to write something relevant on shoes. It makes them identifiable and fills the gap I guess?

Well, that's just the mirrors on the tip, isn't it? You could write on the sides AND keep the mirrors. All right!

I'm glad you know all about the craft of peeking shoe mirrors. I wasn't sure if I'd have to explain that or not.

Writing on the sides could make a good lure too. Some girl in a skirt could make a remark about the writing on the shoes and when she bent down to have a look you could slide a foot forward and see what there is to see.

Dude, you’re on late. Your time, anyway.

Please. It’s me you’re talking to!

Wouldn’t she be focusing on that foot, though? If she’s bending down to see it, I think she’d notice it move. Plus, you’re assuming a girl who doesn’t know what the mirrors are for, has interest at looking at a stranger’s shoes, and wears a skirt would be smart enough to read. You might want to stick to pretty pictures, instead.

I was trying to get through all the deviations and messages I've let pile up. Had a bit of insomnia too.

Waitaminute...how did YOU know it was late?

Ah but you could have the mirror on one shoe and while she's looking at the OTHER shoe your mirrored foot could be sneakily sliding forward.

But you're probably right. I should just look at pictures of what's up skirts instead of trying to see the real thing.

Well, I know you live in Australia and I have another friend I talk to that lives there on the west coast and since time zones increase in time as they go east, logically you’d have to be 15 hours ahead of me or later.

But she’d see it in periphery. And unless you have impeccable balance, I’d think moving both your feet away from your torso would cause you to fall backwards.

Oh, I meant pretty pictures on your shoes, as to intrigue the illiterate, yet attractive population.

Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhh I see. Nice bit of logic there. Nice to know someone is aware of the time difference. I've had people who knew I was in Australia wonder why I wasn't on at the same time as them.

But maybe I could be sitting. And then prop the text shoe up on the seat and when she steps forward to see stretch out the other foot and Hellllllllllllllooooooooooooo Nurse.

Yeah I knew...I was just looking for an excuse to look at naughty pictures.

Xandi5anders In reply to The-G [2010-02-02 23:30:24 +0000 UTC]

Dude. I guess people forget about time zones in general, but still. That's pretty stupid. You'd think there'd be that logic of "different country, it's probably not the same time". :/

That's quite an ingenious plan. I also like the Animaniacs quote tacked on to it.

Well, I don't see why those naughty pictures have to be instead of the really thing and not in addition to it.

The-G In reply to Xandi5anders [2010-02-03 23:48:39 +0000 UTC]

I guess I could understand not knowing the time difference...but still...you'd think people would still suspect some sort of difference. But it doesn't end there. I've also had people correcting me when I say it's summer. "No it's winter." And also had people who couldn't fathom that movies can sometimes not be released here for a month or two after it is there...and sometimes not released at all.

They do know the world isn't flat...right?

I don't know why that quote came to me.

It's less work to get your hands on some pictures.

Xandi5anders In reply to The-G [2010-02-04 22:59:39 +0000 UTC]

Oh, it works the other way around, too. I’ve had an Australian tell me that my experience was “last winter” even though it had been summer here. :/ I think the last bit’s a little sad. But that’s true everywhere, I know there’s killer local shows I’m missing from other places. I’ve never seen a Bollywood movie, for example.

Gee, I hope so.

Well, I’m glad it did. Nice to know references are still alive. I do the “Helllooooo” thing all the time. Just don’t follow it with “Nurse”, often.

But so much less satisfactory, in my opinion. You can’t three-dimensionally fondle a photograph or a video. Actually, what do I know? I like boobs and I have boobs, easy for me. And even though I like men, penises still kinda weird me out, so I don’t need a photo or to see it. Hmmm…

Well at least there's Aussies out there fighting back at the misconception.

No Bollywood ay? I'm knee deep in Bollywood here. There's the t.v channel that a couple times a year has a Bollywood season. People even have Bollywood parties. My MUM even watches them and she hates movies with subtitles.

But keep in mind that apart from Grease I don't actively try to watch musicals. Especially not musicals that go for eight friggin' hours! Or three...whatever.

Just doing the Hellooooo thing reminds me of Uncle Leo from Seinfeld. "Jerry! Helloooooo!"

Ah...but with a healthy, virile imagination you could put yourself in the photo.

Or better yet...get the person to come out. And then get them to flip through the magazine and bring some friends too.

No, he's just a pain in the ass. But he's MY pain in the ass. It's not like I correct him on his seasons. I know it's different down there than up here, so whatever season it is for either party at the time is correct. If he said it was autumn now, I could correct him though. Because it isn't in either location.

They seem addicting. So full of energy. Plus...I kind of like Indian guys, too. Not the point, though!

If it's good, I can do three hours. A lot of musicals are, since they were originally produced on the stage. I, for example, love Fiddler on the Roof.

Haha, you've made the "Helloooo" less sexy now.

What, no pillow fight?

The-G In reply to Xandi5anders [2010-02-14 15:45:09 +0000 UTC]

Ah...you mean like someone who will deliberately correct you on what season it is even though they know full well you're right?

Yeah. Those people sure can be a pain in the ass.

Yeah I'll give them that. The song and dance numbers they do are pretty spectacular looking. Vast armies of people in glamourous clothes jigging around everywhere.

I think that's why I've never made an effort to go see a musical. I can't sit through a three hour movie so I don't think I'd find a three hour live show much fun. And it would kind of a waste of money if I walked out after an hour.

Nah...pillow fights ain't sexy. Unless...they're using their silicon pillows.

Yep, because, as I said, he’s a pain in the ass. He argued with me about trains last night. I was talking about steam-engine coal carrying trains and he sends me cute little public transport pictures. I was like “yeah, we have those, too. Not a train. Not the kind I’m talking about, anyway”.

Haha, do you correct people on their seasons, dear?

And they usually jingle, too! Big dance numbers are usually a crowd pleaser.

Ha, I’d make you stay. “Sit your ass down!” I dunno, I like too many aspects of live theatre to ever be bored. If there isn’t captivating action on stage, I look at the light plot and the props, and the set. It’s how I do.

Pah. Fake boobs are no fun. They’re charming to look at, but there’s not much underneath and they aren’t so much fun to touch. Not like the real thing.

I think I would get annoyed with that pretty quickly. But when it happens to someone else it's entertaining.

Nope. I don't correct anyone. I'm so wise that I always factor in the hemispheres when discussing climate.

You'd have to drag me to one first before you could try and make me sit down. I've been to the theatre...but to see comedians. Sooooo...I've been in one, just not to see some people singing and dancing.

Well I haven't touched any fake ones so I can't really make a comparison.

You're such a good boy *pats*

I could do it. I may be 5 feet tall, but I'm fierce, baby. I'd get you into that theatre one way or another.

Well, I've touched the ones women wear on the outside, like to move their boobs up and still have boobs underneath. They're too tough. But they stick to windows extremely well.

Yeah...I imagine that if you were set on getting someone into a theatre there wouldn't be much they could do about it. I mean...I can barely fight against the positivity and that's just a text attack!

Oh right...those silicon thingies they wear on the outside. Those seem kinda strange. If some chick is wearing those to lure in someone...won't they find out eventually that their chest is a lie?

I don't know. This whole attraction game makes about as much sense as a chimney on a submarine.

Plus I'm little and cute. You don't want to upset something like that

Yup. Same with the wonderbra. However, someone commenting on the latter made a good point of "If he's only interested in seeing what my boobs look like, he's not who I want to be with anyway." Generally, it's more of a fashion thing than a lure, really.

Would it make sense to do it the bird way and have the males colorful and do a little dance (seems to work for gay men )?

DAMMIT! I hate when people give me the cutesy face! That's not fair.

Hmmm...well I guess that not having bazoombas myself I don't really know the whole thinking behind dressing them up. Actually I don't really understand the whole dressing up thing full stop. I stand in nightclubs and wonder what planet I've landed on.

I think it would. Would certainly eliminate the need for pickup lines and all those games people play. Someone could just do a little "I wish to court you" dance and it would either work or wouldn't and then everyone could get on with things.

Hmm...I dunno. Misconceived notions of what the opposite sex wants? Every guy seems to spout the "I like girls in jeans and t-shirts" but are those the ones you ever see with boyfriends?

Well, the pick up lines would really be like a verbal mating dance. If it doesn't work, you should move on. Yet some people don't get that.

I just replaced Kenny's name with the others and hoped they'd done ones for them. Stan was the only one that worked though.

I don't know. I don't really take much notice of the coupling that goes on.

I'm sure it would depend on the girl. Some would probably be won over by that...some would probably require you to do a lot MORE than that.

Nice technique. Though I am saddened that there's no Kyle or Butters.

Personally, I think I'd rather have the girl who is impressed by the ridiculous bird act than one who'd prefer tradition. The former seems much more interesting and would be a better companion.

That was a look of contempt for people doing things the traditional way. You know...playing the dating game like there's a rulebook somewhere and you have to do certain things in a certain order. Pffft. I have no time for that way of thinking.

It's probably because he's famous. Celebrities have a problem with hookers and drugs at some point so you can't blame Jimmy for falling into that trap. I imagine it must be quite intense having everyone thinking of you as the funniest person in the town.



Ummmmmmm...lots of stuff!

I think that's why the "norms" expect everyone to do things their way. Because they don't want to be the only ones with a miserable existence.

I suppose. Such dangers aren't generally proposed to 8 year olds. Also, the education in South Park is kind of lacking. Only Mr. Mackey seems to say that drugs are bad, mmmkay? And I doubt he's taken too seriously.

Well I'd wanna know WHY they are bad. You know...if there were actually dangerous elements in them and it wasn't just someone who personally disagreed with them so wanted to stop EVERYONE from going near them.

Hmm. Good point. But people ON the drugs will always tell you they're not doing them any harm. Pot isn't addictive, I won't get hooked on meth, blah blah blah. Stoned liars.

Then you don't get to complain or be down on yourself for lack of girl love. There's only so much a girl can do to try to show she likes you and to try to get you to realize her and like her, too. You show no interest, she'll just pack up and move on figuring you just didn't like her, however contrary to that you really feel.

Or they'll just flat out deny taking them. Especially those heroin junkies. When they're getting their fix then they will deny taking it...but if they need money for it then they'll quite openly admit to needing money to get some.

Oh don't worry...I don't blame the girls for the lack of romantic escapades in my life. I blame myself for my closed off distrustful ways. I can't handle the anxiety and nerves so I remove myself from the equation. That's totally on me.

I can be around girls. It's no problem. It's the whole relationship closeness thing I would rather avoid. Maybe at some point I'll get it together in the head and be able to be open to it...but right now that stuff would do me more harm than good me thinks.

Oy. See, I've known cool druggies that don't pressure people to join or try to pretend it isn't a big problem, but I've also known the other type that try to recruit people to their stoned lifestyle. For some reason, it reminds me of those trying to get people to convert religiously. The druggies want you to experience their high, and the religious fanatics want you to experience their love and salvation. Not different methods, really.

There's always a chance it'll do you more harm than good. Love makes you do the wacky. It is the great equalizer of men. Well, that, and stupidity.

I don't think I've known druggies that were either of those things. All the ones I've known just pretty much do their thing...and usually it's no big deal. But those heroin users...man. I can't stand it. Going into your bathroom and seeing used syringes next to and IN the sink is a pretty foul experience.

Oh I know. I have many experiences, stored in my mental filing cabinet, of times I've acted like a complete tool.

Well I mean, I was really stoned and the goblin things are scary as they are, and that movie is pretty trippy as it is too... So it kinda makes sense if it ruined it (which is probably really didn't it's just going to be a while til i can watch it without being scared out of my wits!) But no, it doesn't necessarily ruin things if your high... Spongebob on the other hand...GETS EXTREMELY HILARIOUS!!! @.@ I swear! But being high is fun and is an adventure all on its own and I would totally suggest doing it at least once every 3 or 4 months it's stress relieving and it's not as bad as everyone says it is. I'm a straight A student for goodness sake and I do it! Taking a risk is healthy!...just if you ever do decide to do it be careful and don't go out in public. like I did. It's embarrassing when you do something stupid that you wouldn't normally do -.-
