Mary Jane

That's what I've been calling Brian all summer.
You see, Brian requested these babies for Father's day in June.
He bought them to run in, you know, to improve his form.
And since then they've been sneaking in to his everyday wardrobe.
They're supposed to be as close to being bare foot as you can get. . .with out actually being barefoot.
He gets a lot of attention whenever he wears these things.
And we all know how much Brian loves getting attention.
Every time he's out in them some stranger will comment.

They've also gotten a lot of attention from me. . . in the form of nicknames.

Mary Jane is of course my favorite, but I also enjoy monkey feet, reptile, wet suit, and another favorite, little prancing dancer.

These babies also evoke a stream of disgusted squeals from all his sisters.
They can't believe they have a brother with such poor fashion sense.
But Mary Jane doesn't care. He's commited to these shoes.
He loves them.

those are the weirdest shoes i have ever seen. i hate putting my hands in gloves because my fingers always manage to find the same hole, i can't imagine trying to get my toes to cooperate and go into the right holes. more power to you brian.

I think my favorite is Prancing Dancer, too. I think he should bust 'em out for church sometime. Or YM. Either would probably elicit an enthusiastic response.
