New & Pretty

Location: Driving on a new street in a new San Diego neighborhood, looking for a new library - at the intersection of Research and Judiciary Drives - wouldn't you think someone could keep their soles together?

Condition: Excellent - a woman's left thong, hardly worn - fancy engraving around the edges of the foot pad and real shell (abalone?) and beads stitched into the multi-layered leather straps.

Dumped in D.C.

Location: In the dimly lit underground Metro station beneath Dupont Circle in Washington, D.C. - laying on the pebbly grey grime that accumulates under the waiting platform and beside the tracks -

Condition: A well cared for but worn men's black, left flip flop sandal - foot imprint toe and heel - black and yellow straps.
