    Yikes! Bidding is over a thousand bucks and nine days to go! You're over the limit for what I can get away with without my husband saying "what the hell did you buy???? You're NEVER even gonna to wear those shoes! I bet you can't even walk in them. Walk. Yes, now, WALK! You look like a moron and you're gonna kill yourself in those, enjoy the five hundred dollar blisters, idiot. And change your emergency contact info for when they cart you off to the emergency room in the wahmbulance, cause if it's a shoe-related injury, I ain't comin to get you."

    @momof3wildkids: Oh really...hmm...another couple of days and it'll be down into my price range! And if I got another copy of her book (bargain bin, natch), I could strap them to my feet and wear them as shoes (just anticipating the "what the hell are you going to do with that? You're not even going to read it, and if you are, it's just going to make you angry. At least you can wear a pair of expensive shoes. Idiot." rant).

    wow I remember my ex girlfriend LOVING to write so called "slam books"

    She had hundreds of them in high school she passed along to friends, I even found some of them long after we broke up.

    I never knew she stole the idea from someone else. For some reason I always assumed she was deranged enough to have thought of it herself.

    This is a farce.

    The best Sarah Palin book in the world is to buy Going Rouge, replace the dust jacket with Going Rogue and convincing her to sign it. Then you return Going Rogue and put Going Rouge on eBay.

    Just to clarify: No one's signature obscured any of the family's wilderness recipes, right? Because I'm only bidding to get Bristol's Beaver. I hear it's sublime.

    I just read Bess Rattray Vogue piece on her adoption of her baby in some article that was admonishing Madonna for her adoption of her children from a country that doe snot meet Bess's standards. She has some fucking nerve with all that is known about Ethiopia as a corrupt nation and adoptions in particular. There have been many reports about the specific problem of adoptions in Ethiopia. The State Department spoke about Ethiopia specifically in their address on World Adoption Day last week. She picks the worst but easiest country to adopt from but she criticizes Madonna for doing the same thing in a much harder environment. Madonna could have picked up a kid in Ethiopia in 5 seconds flat, but she fought long and hard for the baby girl that she connected with in Malawi and for that this woman decides to bring up Madge's $800 haircuts and celebrity? How many points can we deduct for hypocrisy ?

    @adiam7: I'm an adoptive parent and I've often heard that about certain Ethiopian situations as well.

    But frankly, neither of them get a gold star from me. There are kids right here who need homes too. Think global but act locally.

    @Charlotte Rae's Web: Congratulations on being an adoptive parent! I gree totally on kids in America or in Madge's case England that need homes. Madge seems to be involved in a large scale in helping the situation in Malawi so that's where my gold star for her comes from. If you help anyone anywhere it counts for something right? Ethiopia is such an incredibly corrupt nation, they get billions for food aid and are now -again- facing famine but they sell hectares of farm land to India , China and Saudi Arabia. The land is always in the Oromo region, where those people are opposed to the government and are being systematically killed. I was under the impression that Ethiopia was arid and drought prone, thus their frequent famine problems. I was shocked to learn how much farm land they had.

    Methinks Bess Rattray is a crafty wench. Grew up on the beach, descended from whalers, and then suddenly needs a sailing lesson in Maine? Something tells me that had there been a corpulent Mainah instead of a laconic Welshman lounging dockside, she would have sailed that boat just fine by herself.
