When things are dark, look down!

Colorful print shoes seem to be fashionable among Penn and Drexel students, and I for one really appreciate this trend. I'm not likely to buy them for myself -- can you see the price tag in the back of the (discount!) shoe in the photo above? But I do like to see them on other people.

And on dark, rainy days I particularly like to see the bright, whimsical boots so many young women are wearing these days.

And then there are the goofy advertising gimmicks that I also appreciate, such as the giant red shoe outside Union Station in Washington DC.
