Nobody Puts Baby in the Corner.

One of our regular customers was in yesterday. She goes to Hellgate High School. She asked to try on some KEDS...later revealing to me that she had just watched Dirty Dancing for the first time and after seeing Frances "Baby" Houseman in her KEDS, decided that she too needed to rock that sweet 1950's look.

I just want to take a brief moment to remind you all how wonderful Dirty Dancing was and is.

I watched that movie so many times, and listened to the soundtrack even more. I made my friend attempt to lift me as we swam in her pond on Summer afternoons. I drooled over Patrick Swayze.

Not to mention that Baby had some sweet style....


Cut-off jean shorts, floral house dresses, and high waisted tap shorts are what the Betty's are wearing NOW.

Not to mention the natural-colored KEDS! For $35 you can have yourself a great pair of inexpensive Springtime shoes with a hint of nostalgia attached.

My Mom would never buy me the real ones when I was a girl...just the generic $10 version MINUS that very important little blue rubber rectangle at the heel. Damn it!





I was much dismayed. Perhaps that's why I brought them into Betty's this year...and am wearing them right now...

I know you want to look like Baby too.
