...Shoes? Why, hello there.

Are they attractive shoes?

They can be.

*laughs*

I take any sort of suggestions or preferences into account when I design.

*smiles*

Kami, you must be an angel. How'd you know I was thinking about going shoe shopping?

*winks and extends a hand* I'm Bulma Briefs.

-- Kami?

*laughs*

I guess it's just a designer's intuition. Or just being a woman.

*shakes hand, smiling*

It's nice to meet you, Ms. Briefs. I'm Holly Kennedy, but Holly's just fine.

Oh. Um, it's an expression. Kami is a god, you see? So it's...I guess more direct than saying "God", since Kami's his name, but the same basic principle.

Ha. A woman can never have too many pairs of shoes in her closet.

A pleasure, Holly. I'm going to insist on "Bulma", too, if you don't mind. What sort of shoes do you specialize in?

Oh. I'm sorry - I didn't realize.

*laughs, nodding*

Tell my husband that. He might disagree.

*nods*

Bulma it is. I tend to stick to "Special Occasion" shoes. For instance, I designed my friend Denise's shoes for her wedding. But the shoes that I have already out for sale in my store can obviously be worn at any time. I just have events in my mind when creating them.

Don't apologize. Kami's a nice guy and he wouldn't be offended in the least; I'm certainly not.

Men just don't get it. They have one pair of shoes and expect that everyone else should follow suit.

Definitely. *considers, tapping her forefinger on her lips in thought* I don't really have any formal events coming up, sadly. I mean, I don't think I'm going to be getting married and really heels are no good for running around, especially during pregnancy.

Apology withdrawn.

*smiles*

Ah. Yeah. My husband has a few pairs of shoes, but only the basics. A pair of dress shoes, sneakers, and sandals. One pair of each. Meanwhile, I take up insane amounts of storage with mine. eBay is a God-sent.

*listens, then nods*

Well, I can always design flat shoes for you. Flats should be just as pleasing to look at as heels. And I can make them extra plush so that it's not hard on your feet with the pregnancy, if you'd like.

I think Vegeta has maybe two pairs of shoes. His boots and the shoes I got for him. The boots get the most wear. I'm going to have to start making those.

Oh, that would be utterly fantastic! I absolutely love that flats have come back into fashion, they're so cute.

Vegeta is your -- husband? Boyfriend? Oh, wait. You said you weren't married. Boyfriend, then, I guess?

I could always try to branch out a bit and give a try at making men's shoes, if you wanted to give him some new boots.

*smiles*

I'll get to working on those as soon as I can. Do you have color preferences or specific requests?

Um, nothing so easily defined?

Oh, no! His seem to be less a shoe and more a piece of a uniform; I do them myself because they have to meet certain specifications. Thank you for the offer, though.

*giggles*

Um, I think white or black would be the best; I have a really diverse color coordination. One day I could be in blue and the next I could be in scarlet, so I'd prefer one of the colors that sort of goes with everything, ya know?

Ah. One of those.

*nods*

Sure. Just figured I'd offer.

*smiles*

Well, I could always incorporate both black and white, that way, they'd be versatile enough to wear with virtually everything. How does that sound?

Converse?

*taps finger on cheek*

I mainly do dressy shoes, for women.

I could try to design something and send it into Converse to see if they'd use the design for you. If you wanted. Otherwise -- I can see what I can do.

Don't worry about it. Thanks though. Friend.

*smiles, nodding*

Of course.

Yes, please!

I'd like them to be green, but not an ugly green like olive or anything but a bright green, a green that says 'I am a very open person and it is very nice to talk to me'.

Also, the left one should have a writing which says 'ask me about pineapples'.

And the other one 'the psychic is in'. If possible with some neat blinking lights, but that is very optional.

How long would it take to make them? *bounces in excitement*

*blinks, then laughs*

I primarily design women's shoes, but I am sure that branching out to men's shoes could further my career. And the success of my store.

*thinks*

Blinking lights? I don't think -- I don't think it's possible. At least, for my resources.

I might be able to work with the rest of it, though ..

Really? The rest of it would be awesome as such!

Well. We'll have to see how they come out. But chances are, they could be done.

If parts of it can't, I'll let you know, Mr. .. ?

Spencer. Shawn Spencer, Head Psychic of the Santa Barbara Police Department.

*hands her a card and beams*

It's nice to meet you Mr. Spencer. I'm Holly Kennedy - but Holly's just fine.

*glances down at the card, then at him*

Psychic? Seriously?

It is very nice to meet you, Holly. And I must say your personal shoe service is quite an awesome idea!

*nods* Yes. I also work as a private investigator, should you ever be in need for professional psychic help. Seances, tracking down people, we do it all.

Nice to meet you, too. You can thank my husband for the idea.

*smiles*

You would've come in handy about -- two weeks ago. But my dead husband came back. Well. My not actually dead husband.

*blinks*

It's a long story.

*beams* It sounds like a story worth telling! Maybe over coffee? And shoes. ...Do I sound like a woman here?

(ooc: By the way... LOVE for the muse! Haven't seen the movie but read the book when it first came out and omg, so awesome)

*laughs*

A bit, yeah. But that never hurt anyone.

Coffee and shoes sounds -- it sounds good.

OOC: *nod* I've never gotten a chance to actually read the book, unfortunately! But I fell in love with the movie right away, so -- Holly it was! And <33 to your Muse, as well! I've just recently gotten somewhat addicted to the show!

Sweet! It's settled then. *claps hands in glee*

So where can I find you? ... or if that sounds like I'm a creepy internet stalker with no life how about you just call, I mean, you got the card and everything. So you can see I'm in Santa Barbara. And when you got time you just let me know?

(ooc: Aww thanks! But yeah, that show is awfully addictive. It owns my soul. :D)

*laughs*

It didn't sound internet stalker-y. But I'm on the Lower East Side -- Manhattan. We're on pretty opposite sides of the United States.

And honestly? I have a lot of free time. More than I'm willing to admit to people. I figure you must be busy, though.

*glances down at the card*

You know, running around, listening for ghosts and spirits and apparitions.

OOC: *nodnod* It's so easy to get addicted!

I am, actually. But I also travel a lot. I am a road trip addict, you might say. How about this: The next time I'm in the neighbourhood I'm gonna drop you a line and by.

Travelling is a good thing, most definitely.

*smiles*

That sounds good. I guess I should give you my card, huh? Did I do that already? Well, if I did, you'll have a back up in case you lose the first one.

*hands over a business card (http://i223.photobucket.com/albums/dd117/ALondonFog/hollybusinesscard.gif)*

Definitely get in touch with me if you're out here.

*paws at the ground, snorting in challenge*

*confused*

Um.

*huffs and snickers, raising a hoof pointedly*

*looks at hoof, then at him*

Do you want shoes?

*throws his head back, whinnying softly*

*nods*

I'll take that for a yes.

I've never made horseshoes before.
