It’s Official: I’m A Shoe Pimp

January 3rd, 2009

Today I practiced the procurement of pumps; that is to say, I pimped them!  I sold a pair of my used red pumps…to a guy…for himself.  He told me in his emails that he “has a thing for shoes”.  Now I have nothing against a man who likes heels.  To each his own.  After all, women’s shoes are incredibly beautiful and sexy.

I had posted them in the online local classifieds for $15.  I agreed to meet him in in the corner of a parking lot between our locations.

I parked next to his vehicle and walked over.  I noticed he was wearing all-black clothing, shades (on a cloudy day), driving a black SUV, and looking all around very stealthy.  Good thing I brought my friend along, in case of any foul play.  He rolled down his window, shot me a quick smile and handed me the cash as I placed the shoes in his passenger seat.  Done deal.  I felt like I was part of a “drug” deal, helping this guy get his fix, but I was in no position to ask questions.  After all, I had just collected $15 to put toward a new pair of shoes!

When I got back into the car, my friend and I discussed the situation.  It quickly became apparent to us that he probably wasn’t going to wear the heels – he had never asked me for the size!
