ARE YOU KIDDING ME?

I hate this town.

Exhibit A:

I'm in the small cafe next to my building with my boss grabbing lunch....we pass a women leaving as we enter - I notice her shoes are adorable ballet, toe shoe flats in sharp black - I comment "LOOOOOOOOOVE THE SHOES....WHERE DID YOU FIND THOSE? ARE THEY AUTHENTIC? DO YOU DANCE?" I ask out of amazement because she is clearly too old to be up on pointes. I clearly get the picture she is clinging to the idea of youth based on the botox injections and pull back effect on her face she probably thinks she looks not a day older than 40. Whatever. She does this odd whisper thing like she's giving me some huge secret tip "Chloe...Saks Fifth Avenue". Ok....super grandma and I can't help myself so I step in it "Awesome...Didn't know they offered AARP discounts."

Out of morbid curiosity I google them this morning while simultaneously pretending to listen on a conference call (at 4:30am PST).

Who in their right mind spends $500 on shoes? I clearly have a problem with shoes. I would NEVER pay anything close to that for a shoe. This right here is totally orange county and I can't stand it.
