Hijacked!!!

Hello everyone!  This is pirate Bob.  I’m hijacking Rennee’s journal for just a moment to tell you ladies about something WAY COOL!  The next time you want to buy a pair of shoes, go to TOM‘s online.  It’s true, ladies talk about the shoes (and some men… if they’re cool enough).  Anyway, these may not be the first pair of shoes someone runs out to buy… or even the tenth, but they will be the one’s that people will be talking about when wearing them.  Why?  Because Tom’s has a buy one pair, get the second pair free campaign!  "That’s not new!"  you say.  Well, yes, it kindof is.  Because you don’t get the second pair!  A kid in a developing nation get’s it for free! 

According to Seth Godin, "Tom has turned the shoe into a souvenir. A post-modern shoe, a shoe for people who don’t need shoes, but are happy to wear a statement. This isn’t the first pair of shoes most Americans will buy, it might not even be the tenth. But it will be one that people talk about when they’re wearing it."

Plus, I kinda like the design.  They look comfortable.

There’s a company from near my home in Colorado called Chaco’s who has a similar program.  But they take your gently used shoes and sends them to Africa for people.  Chaco’s are awesome… if you can afford them.  But for a company that does so much for the environment and people over the ocean, the price is worth it.

So go tell your husband you want to help a needy child and go buy some shoes!
