The Tortoise and the (Purple) Hair

Moments after this photo was taken by a gal pal (we indulged in some Makoto if inquiring minds really want to know), the funniest thing happened to me. As I sauntered past a koi pond, I noticed a rather large turtle lurking its way into Lanvin. Clearly, said turtle has a thing for Alber’s ballet flats (alas, who doesn’t!?) but I felt like swooping up the tortoise and placing her into the pond would be the right thing to do. And so I did.

Well, the turtle was pissed. She snapped at me as I snapped the photo below and when I placed her back in the pond, she swam right back to the ledge, plopped herself on to the floor and skedaddled toward Lanvin. I’m fairly certain she huffed, “Back off, Wordy Girl. I need new fall flats. You, of all mammals, she understand my plight.”

The moral of this story, kids? When it comes to fashion, don’t mess with the turtles. They will bite. As they should.
