It's funny, I've been searching for shoes that were both beautiful and comfortable to walk in (wandering around cities is one of my favorite things to do), but it is pretty much a no go in women's shoes. There is either beauty and heels or there is comfort and walking and sometimes a "cute factor" but pretty much never a bit of elegance. The closest I've come is darling red ankle boots with buttons up the side that look like Victorianana (my other secret side is a bit of steam punk...a side I don't indulge near enough). And then to realize what I want is a man's shoe like you sport above. Problem solved!! So excited to go shopping now. Nordstrom's Rack has a ton of gorgeous shoes that are good brands and marked down. Thanks for the encouragement!!

Are you in for a ton of fun. Of course the short answer to your question is, any woman on the planet with any body on the planet gets to be whatever the hell she wants to be, period, the end. But also, there's all kinds of butch, manly, mannish, gentlemanly, dapper, foppish, dandyish, she-mannnish kinds of ways we can be. Definitely, chestage can present some challenges around how a dress shirt or a vest or a blazer/jacket might fall. Nothin the right size clothing item (and a can-do attitude) can't fix. One of the blogs up for this year's Lezzy (yep. a blog award.) was <a href="http://howtobebutch.wordpress.com/" rel="nofollow">How to Be Butch</a>, and she seems to spend a goodly amount of time having fun talking haberdashery hoo-ha. Start hopping from blogroll lilly pad to blogroll lillypad. <a href="http://butchfashionista.blogspot.com/" rel="nofollow">Butch Fashionista</a> writes about all sorts of stuff but definitely also matters sartorial. <a href="http://nouveaubutch.wordpress.com/" rel="nofollow">Nouveau Butch</a> is fun, and would be even greater if she posted more often. (!) And hey: comment back if you run across a blog you like that you want to shout up/out/about. Oh honey. Are you in for a ton of fun.

I just wanted to share that as a confused person who's, oh, about six months into figuring out my sexuality and was a tomboy growing up, but then fell in love with finery, I tried on a pair of men's shoes the other day and practically swooned. I'm suddenly remembering all the guy's shoes I've loved over the years but wouldn't fit my husband's wide foot. Oh, wait, I could wear them. And a derby. And a sweater vest. And a tie...... Now to get a gig so I have money to change my look so utterly. I wonder, though, do women with chests get to be butch? In my limited (primarily internet) experience, can't say I can think of any.

They serve Brooklyn Lager there (ala Flickr pic), and its in Chelsea, which you hmm...hmmm...ed about earlier, and the decor looks about right. And my bad, NJ Transit is L,D's transport. That arrives at Penn Station, so you'd meet him there after the publisher/agent meeting, and you two walked down into Chelsea (enjoying all the gayness along the way), and parked yourselves at Cafeteria for an evening of revelry.

My favorite was Hudson Corner in the West Village. They also had crayons and butchers paper on the table and I drank many beers there, although I don't recall them ever being snooty. So while I would love to think of the two of you sitting down for a drink in the place where I blew a good portion of my work-study stipend, I realize that it is a long shot. Instead, I'm going to go for the more general address of Hudson St, Although, L,D! did reference Target, which is at 7th and 42nd St....so that is also a possibility. And as for the shoes...I'm pretty certain that the jeans/Vans combo is L,D! and not Polly.
