RED SHOE GALLERY Episode 4: Runnin' from Molly

In Dublin's fair city, where girls are so pretty, I first set my eyes on sweet Molly Malone. As she pushed her wheelbarrow, through streets broad and narrow crying, "Cockles and mussels, alive, alive oh"!

Chorus: Alive, alive oh! alive, alive oh!Crying, "Cockles and mussels, alive, alive oh"!

Now she was a fishmonger, and sure twas no wonder, for so were her mother and father before. And they each wheeled their barrow, through streets broad and narrow, crying, "Cockles and mussels, alive, alive oh"!

Chorus: Alive, alive oh! alive, alive oh!Crying, "Cockles and mussels, alive, alive oh"!

She died of a fever, and no one could save her, and that was the end of sweet Molly Malone. Now her ghost wheels her barrow, through streets broad and narrow, crying, "Cockles and mussels, alive, alive oh"!

Chorus: Alive, alive oh! alive, alive oh! Crying, "Cockles and mussels, alive, alive oh"!

Molly Malone is the most photographed woman in Dublin. It's no wonder, as she looks like a real hotty to me. :) The above photo is me and my red shoes racing Molly and her big wheelbarrow through the streets of Dublin. You see, the thing is, I'm a freakishly odd and slow runner with a curious propensity to propel my legs out and around my butt rather than just straight back (notice the heigth?) that my friends enjoy making vicious fun of. So, I did a few quick calculations in my head (the usual stuff involving physics, the wind, the rotation of the stars and some advanced algorithms) and came to the following conclusion: a chick in a dress who happens to be made of solid stone (very heavy) lugging a giant wheelbarrow? Slow runner or not, the odds are in my favor here. So I challenged her to a race and thus propelled myself through the streets of London singing "cockles and muscles, alive alive oh!" From the photo, it looks like I've got some momentum on her, but well... sadly, I actually lost. and then Drake hid from me.

More RED shoes and other various photos to come soon. It's 6:30pm and I think I'm ready to go to bed now.
