Dear Readers, remember Mad Libs from when we were kids? That little book of puzzles where you would ask for random items from a group in order to fill out a story. And remember how when we got the final result we would laugh and laugh at the ridiculousness of it all? Schutz Shoes  Ever tried to read those again? They're not that funny. Now imagine reading those for 90 minutes. Unfortunately, the current show from Washington Ensemble Theatre, "Tin Cat Shoes" feels as if it were written by a series of Mad Libs as it's a mishmash of ridiculous elements thrown together in a manic way for 90 minutes and the awkward laughs that it might have elicited from the start of the show quickly waned.

Given how expensive they look (but aren't), how trend-forward the styles are, and how extensive the selection is, it's hardly surprising. Something that I tend to wonder about when it comes to Zara is what people specifically gravitate toward when perusing the site, so I was very intrigued to hear what our source at Zara says is its bestselling shoe style every year: clear shoes. Chippewa Boots Given that they go with everything and make every outfit look chic and summery, and how long they've been a trend for, I can't say that I'm surprised. There's also a very robust selec...
