When I was a boy (yes, that actually happened), in the summer it was fashionable for men to wear two-tone, black and white, dress shoes. At some point while my little brothers were still wearing saddle shoes for dress-up, I graduated to a pair of two-tones. I dunno, maybe I was ten or eleven years old.
Therefore, I want the permanent record to reflect that I was once rad.
On an even more bizarre note, I also had a pair of white buck summer oxfords. When you bought the shoes, they gave you a little cloth bag filled with talc or some other powder that you’d pat onto the shoes to keep them white. They were the epitome of coolness For an innocent 9 or 10 year old kid.
I’m guessing that the powder bag was similar to what was used on my dad’s wig in 1768.
