glitter mixed with a little bit of rock & roll

i realize that these pictures just scream "myspace",
but i was so in love with these boots that i simply had to have an in-room, unplanned photo shoot right then & there.
as an added bonus, there's even a story attached to these boots.
&i adore being able to tell it everytime someone asks about these heavy-duty beauties.

storytime!;
my dear old papa is in the military, & as a young teenager i often complained about his inability to get me a pair of combat boots. i'd long since forgotten about my persistent request, but he hadn't.
when he was home for the holidays, he pulled these out of his closet & said "i know it took me awhile, but i came through!"
&these are even better than the real thing.
they were given to him by a friend who brought them over with her from england in the late 80's, early 90's.
they're so deliciously brit-punk.
