So, I was bored and looking for an inspiration for a blog post and I decided to look through my flickr photo stream. Nothing makes an entry more interesting than a few funny photos. Nothing takes up space on a page like photos either.<\/p>\n

I was scrolling through my photo stream and I noticed that this<\/a> photo had been favorited. “That’s odd,” I thought, “who would favorite a badly composed, incorrectly exposed, camera phone photo of my slipper socks?” Well, I clicked to see who had favorited my photo and, lo and behold, the person’s favorites were all pictures of slippers, socks and slipper socks. <\/p>\n

Hands up everyone who didn’t see that one coming. You all win a prize* for being just as clueless as I am.<\/p>\n

I would like to say that a) there are a lot of cute slippers out there (including these<\/a> which I wouldn’t mind owning a pair of and b) I’m not sure quite why a person would favorite 351 photos of slippers.<\/p>\n

Perhaps I should ask this person, but I’m not quite sure how I would word the email…<\/p>\n

Dear person who apparently likes my slipper socks just as much as I do,<\/p>\n

I see that you have marked 351 pairs of slippers as favorites on flickr. I just have one question for you. Are you <\/p>\n

a) a slipper designer
\nb) a connoisseur of soft, comfortable footwear
\nc) a foot fetishist, or,
\nd) all of the above.<\/p>\n

Inquiring minds would really like to know. I also notice that you have favorited many pictures of women wearing slippers on their wedding day. Is this a common occurrence? Do women really spend a small fortune on pouffy, white wedding dresses only to wear granny slippers underneath? Is it possible to get bedazzled slippers? Are bedazzled slippers considered to be evening wear.<\/p>\n

Enquiring minds would like to know.<\/p>\n

Sincerely,
\nMe.<\/p>\n
