Animal Slippers Work Better Than Massage

Posted by Steph Auteri

 

As Wendy mentioned earlier today, I spent six hours last night hula hooping in high heels for a film shoot, and by 2 a.m., I wanted to die. Today, I wore flip-flops to my on-site gig, which is incredibly inappropriate, but what I really wish I had was this pair of monkey slippers I had owned back in my college years. My mom bought them for me one Christmas from Delia's, and it was like walking on clouds. I did everything in these slippers, including lugging the garbage out to the back alley every few days, and shuffling on down the street for my booty call boy of the year (who happened to, coincidentally, have monkey sheets).

I spent a good amount of time this morning trying to find these very same slippers online, but no dice. I did, however, find these equally pouffy looking slippers!

 

[$19.99, Urban Outfitters] 

The awesomeness is only exacerbated by the fact that these slippers are modeled on the bunny from Monty Python and the Holy Grail.

aaahahaha....they're fabulous, aren't they? Unfortunately, it's a stock photo, and never in a trillion years could I walk in such things!

Ha, curses!!!!  Granted, I have no idea what I would actually wear them with, but that probably goes for half of my shoe purchases...Thanks anyway!!

about the blogger

Alex Zalben is a writer living in New York City. He's written for McSweeney's, Modern Humorist and PulpSecret.com.

Diana Vilibert is a freelance writer, among other things. Born in Lithuania, she now lives in New Jersey, where she doesn't have to walk to work ten miles in the snow, barefoot, uphill both ways. Diana cannot afford most of the products she writes about because she buys too many pairs of heels to make up for her shoeless childhood. She's written for MarieClaire.com, Janemag.com, and CosmoGIRL!.

Shaun Seneviratne is a dude just like anyone else. Just your average guy that raps Bone Thugs-n-Harmony to strangers on the subway at 4 a.m., doesn't chew his food because he believes it's a waste of time, and sleeps next to a scale replica of the Ghostbusters headquarters. He can rest easy knowing Egon, Peter, Ray, and Winston have his back. He currently lives in northern New Jersey, plays bass in Rapid Cities, and recently started a tumblr.

Laureen Mahler is a writer and editor who lives in California, where the sun never sets and everyone rollerskates to work. She coedits Beeswax Magazine and spends the remainder of her time as a freelance writer and letterpresser. She truly believes that someday she will master the ultimate multitask of blogging while letterpressing, though that might mean that she'll need a second pair of arms.
