If your feet slide out of them when you stand up in them (and you buy them with the intent of standing up in them), then I maintain that they don't fit, and you didn't try them on properly. Who seriously tries on shoes for anything important (or, really, anything) without standing up, not to mention walking a few strides?

The fit of shoes is more than just the size of the soles. It's the configuration of the whole shoe in relation to your foot.

Well, now I have the autograph of an Academy Award winner since I have William Joyce's signature in A Day With William Robinson.

Him and Brett winning is pretty sweet for me.

ita, when I opened the link to that photo, the ugly ill-fitting shoes were the first thing I saw! Gah. Even worse than the dress in question, and the dress on the woman wearing The Shoes looked like a re-fitted burka.

Why did James Earl Jones, Dick Smith, and Oprah Winfrey get a standing O? What did they do? Something humanitarian, I assume. Meryl Streep looked fantastic.

Various lifetime awards -- Oprah's was humanitarian, but the other ones were for the work.

Aw, yay Meryl. Too bad, Viola.

I can't believe I'm still up. Stupid Oscars.

Meryl's adorable.

Now Gary Oldman's going to get a consolation Oscar for Butterfield 9: Electric Boogaloo.

I think someone needs to find a film for Oldman to be nominated for next year.

I recommend Oldman reading the phone book. Or, Oldman existing for 120 min.

Good lord, Sheri Shepard... really? [link]

This is what happens when you demonize gay men on national television - who do you think will be doing your wardrobe, hair, and makeup?

Ooh, good point, Matt. Let that be a lesson to her!
