Rimmel 60 Seconds Super Shine

The other day I performed a manipedi on myself; I prefer attending to my own beauty regieme, well apart from cutting my own locks and going to the eyebrow threading place sporadically.  Regular readers will know that silver is one of my most favourite colours and I have the nail polish to prove it, namely:

For those without a magnifying glass, it's Rimmel 60 Seconds Super Shine in shade #808 - Your Majesty. I often wonder if HM The Queen ever gathers all of her female relations around for a pamper session in Windsor Castle one Saturday night? I for one think that it would be nice if Kate, Meghan, Sophie and Camilla joined her for a few glasses of Gin and Dubonnets (although not Megs, obvs - she'd have a warm Ribena instead). I reckon that they'd all gossip about Fergie and try to persuade Her Maj to relax the rules about wearing open toed shoes during official functions (didn't Meghan look silly wearing ballet pumps on Bondai Beach recently?) Also, Lizzie, why aren't wedges acceptable either?

Bowser Socks

Now if you're a fan of retro gaming like me then you'll appreciate these Primark socks. These particular pair feature Mario's nemesis, the archvillain Bowser, who is some kind of spiny turtle. The other designs on the five pack are: Mario, Luigi, Yoshi and another character whose name eludes me ...

They're a tad synthetic and slippery on laminate, but hey ho. Here's hoping that they don't get too clammy today.

Nike Trainers

Oooh I love a Nike trainer, the way they look and the slight wedge, plus it feels like I'm walking on memory foam. Me and The Duke took a nice long walk today and the sneakers were really comfortable.

My step count was pretty impressive too (for me, anyway.)

Doc Martens Harrie Patent

Regular readers will have surmised by now that I'm a bit of a shiny shoe magpie. Well, these are my pair of Doc Martens Harrie 8 hole boots anyway. I rarely wear them, but they do look nice, nonewithstanding their slightly stiff construction.

That reminds me, it's manipedi time this afternoon. Toodleloo!

Adidas Superstar Metallic

One of my favourite colours is silver; I only recently realised that Argentina was named after the French word for silver - argent. Actually, their general term for money is l'argent and 'keep the change' is guardez la money.

Right ... trainers. I do love 'em and I bought these last year from eBay.

I used to buy Adidas Superstars years ago from Argos because they sold a woman's size 9 and therefore I could buy more pastelly sneakers. The soles are much bouncier than I recall and I do believe that Sir Robbie Williams name checked them in his much derided 2006 hit 'Rudebox' in the line 'grab your shell toes and your fat laces, ... rock the three stripes, not the Asics.'

Williams failed to inform his audience that the tongues of Superstar sneakers are very stiff and therefore a pair of full length socks is preferable to the briefer trainer sock. Maybe this is one of the main reasons why the Rudebox album was such a flop and ended up being used as the base for a motorway?

Vibrating Feet

To combat my increasingly middle-aged wibble wobble I bought this home exercise vibration plate from Amazon.

Here it is, in action, from the calf downwards. I fear that the sight of my undulating fat cells may break the Internet.

Adidas Superstar Slip Ons

I bought these in the ASOS sale last year and have only worn them twice. They're very comfortable, but due to their fabric/elastic construction, they're not suitable for wearing during the winter months.

I think that you'll agree that they're pretty darn funky.
