Soles of Shoes and Backs of Heads
There's something poetic about the soles of shoes, and something oddly expressive, and vulnerable, about the backs of heads. Incidentally, in China you can buy slips of paper printed with a generic drawing of a man or woman, upon which you write the name of your nemesis, stick it with spit to the sole of your shoe and spend the day happily stomping on them. I may have made up the bit about the spit.

I am constantly impressed by your imagination! That's so.. I don't know what!
Did you stick your drawings to the bottoms of the shoes? And where are those shoes from? They are really cute and vintage-looking.
Love Sephy x x x

love the idea of the soles. cute!
I once had a computer teacher who used to say he'd put the pictures of the people he was disgusted with (ie. us students--he used to affectionately call us "evil") on cardboard boxes and spend the evening happily kicking them about the house. He was originally from China--so hmmm. And yes, cowlicks and braids---especially braids from the back. Why do boys always pull them?

Chinese people are not so different from Italians under certain aspects..
