God bless ballet flats

Last night I dreamed I could wear high heels without feeling pain. I consider that a good dream. High heels always suck all of my energy and my will to walk.

God bless ballet flats!

Happy Birthday Toby Hemingway!
I’m so glad you have roles in many movies this year. I can’t wait to see you even thriller isn’t my kind of movie but if you’re in it, I’m going to see it anyway.
Just please don’t do a horror. I can’t watch horror movie, it gives me a nightmare. You would give me a difficult decision if you decided to do it.
I’ll always be your fan. Happy Birthday!
