Fun with shoes

Last night, I went to the Border Cafe in Burlington as a guest judge for the latest meeting of the Hello Stiletto Shoe Club.

If you haven’t heard about the club, let me spread the word: It’s fantastic. Women (and men) who love shoes meet up regularly around the Boston area (or Atlanta and Chicago for those chapters) and celebrate footwear while eating, drinking and chatting.

Here are some highlights from last night’s meeting:

From Georgetown, Mass., native Melissa O’Shea

From Amanda Diver, who works in Lawrence

Also, shoe entrepreneur Orah Greenberg of Cosmosis was there with some comfy, practical, adorable footwear from her Fall 2008 collection (along with a few pairs of flip flops with heels!). If you want a pair of these, they’re available at shoes.com, shoebuy.com and endless.com.

Here’s Orah

And some of her shoes:

Coming up, shoe club will do good:

Thursday, May 15th (Brighton): Join Hello Stiletto at California Closets’ showroom for a Shoe Party and Shoe Drive to benefit Dress For Success of Boston. Bring those new or gently used professional
shoes to donate in support of women working to get a fresh start in the workplace. Enjoy complimentary cocktails and appetizers, as well as our signature “best shoe walk off” and a chance to win a $2,500
California Closet! RSVP required. Details are all here.

Is it me, or have the ’90s returned?

NKOTB reunites (or, New Kids On The Block for the tragically unhip).

The X-Files live again in a movie.

Sex in the City will also see a comeback in a movie.

A Clinton is running for office.

And 90210 is set to return to the tube.

This is weird, right?

Circus sparks fond memories

This just in from my colleague, Emily Young:

One of many Young family traditions was an annual pilgrimage to the Big Apple Circus. More often than not, our trip to the Boston big top fell on Patriot’s Day, when the city was crowded with exhausted marathoners and celebratory fans.

Peace, What’s going on here in the Merrimack Valley?

In the course of working on today’s (Sunday, April 13) story about the birth of the peace symbol, I had the chance to talk to some locals about the peace movement.

There’s a lot going on locally — including a weekly gathering in Newburyport.

Am I the only one who’s been oblivious? What’s going on here?
