    @nombreyfogle, just a quick word. Not unless that shoe is from Jimmy Choo. You

    probably know which high-fashion brand Condoleeza Rice wears as she's tripped daintily around the world.

    To the Bonjour Tristesse people: I suppose Sartre didn't write that but I'm sick of sourpuss Sartre. Didn't you know that Simone du Beauvoir made a monkey out of him. On the matter of sour pusses, the third in line to the British throne, that natural yokel Prince Harry is in trouble again for addressing one of his polo-playing pals as Sooty. The only time I've ever heard that name being used was of a black cat, traditionally a creature of good luck. Work it all out for yourselves but NYU student might be interested in such low-brow chatter.
