Cowboy boots play a major role in the story I am telling now. It threw me for a loop to see this photo and your words this morning. Perfect. Thanks :-)

I love the boots, and I love your last line.

Adorable!!!!!! This is sooo cute and beautifully created. Happy Monday to you LoLo!

So great. I like them.
Happy Cactus Monday.

walk like an egyptian!!!!!!!!

Oh darn it, I'm fourth.

These are so you Lolo!!! Love them.

HCM!

Of course I could cheat and comment again so I am fifth. LOL

Teri, I'll consider you to be an opportunist and not a cheater okay?

The boots are yours! They belong out West ;

See, I could have been fifth, if not for the opportunist. But our leader deserves these for being so cleaver. The drawing is wonderful, can’t wait for the next comment contest. I did not even notice the note about the 5th comment until I read Teri’s and wondered what she was talking about. I need to pay more attention. The boots are such a creative idea. And the painting is fab! Judy

I can see the green glitter on those boots. Terrific idea for Cactus Monday stomping around the desert!

WHOOHOOOOOOO It pays to be an opportunist! I have to agree if they are made for walking in the desert then they need to come to AZ with me. I will make sure they are happy clomping around with me.

Thanks Lolo, you are such a sweetie.
Sorry Judy. The early cactus gets the boots. lol

Love your Bling-Boots, LOLO!!! Those sequins look so real!!!
Congrats to lucky Teri!!!!

these boots could just as well be a monument in bryce canyon or yellowstone. imagine driving along and seeing them in the distance?!

Wonderful! I missed your illo for Illustration Friday theme Caution. Like it very much!

You'd fit right in, in Texas with those fancy boots!

I love, love, love your Banner Lolo!

haha this are sooooo cute

so what exactly do you think about people who leave multiple comments?

does it matter if the comments are clever or not?

:)

I love multiple comments from people.
That means I'm (or my work is) memorable!
;)

yes! yes! it means you're memorable. it likely also means the commenter adores you.

of course, there are those egotists and bored individuals who leave comments just so they can read them again and again.

but you are memorable and right. and adored.

:)

Just to let you know that I was holding your banner in my hands today. Nathan was like wow, that is nice Mom.

I must agree with him after all he is a very smart man.

Thank you so much Laurel, I love it.

Love Renee xoxo

Dang it-I'm number 24 Remember those Nocona Boot ads for women's boots? I loved those ads-real art.

Probably not really accurate though-my boots tend to have a layer of dust and often worse things on them.

Glad you liked Texas, Justine. Come back any time. :o)

Love your family crest. Muy cool.

hehe
<3

Well I’ve lived in Texas all my life so almost everybody where I was from wore boots. I wore boots almost all the time until I was 11 and realized you can’t wear boots in the city without getting funny stares from the other kids

My foot issues are many and complex. Custom-made boots sound like something I definitely need in my life. I want to know just how big this big total was.

did you get kangaroo or calf?

Stunningly fabulous! I think you should put the awesome family crest on your book jackets near the author photo. At first glance I thought it was the Hanged Man from the Tarot deck who usually symbolizes spiritual surrender to the universe (I guess because he is hanging upside down?). Which is also an interesting idea.

Kaleb: Scott, who grew up in Texas, has zero interest in cowboy boots. They are not the novelty to him that they are to me.

Justine, your new boots are fabulous! When can we see a photo of you wearing them?

*Woo!* Congrats on the awesome boots. It’s just so much fun to FINALLY have a pair that makes ya happy, yes? I know the feeling… although mine just so happen to be more mukluk than cowboy

Wow, those are some *awesome* boots. And i’m not usually a fan of cowboy boots! But these are really, really gorgeous. Excellent job on the design!

Justine,

I wanted cowboy boots Sooooooo much when I was in high school, and my mother was appalled - she wanted me to want chic she-she riding boots. After many, many fights in department store shoe departments, she finally relented and bought me a pair of cowboy boots one Christmas (I think becuase my daddy told her too :} ) Sooo…I totally get your lust-filled heart’s desire for the perfect boots. Wonderful joy that they are finally yours and exactly as you wanted!

Now, I am a little curious how they would have turned out without Scott holding you back from the edge of the abyss of overly-shiny-ness…

Emily

They are not thistles - the shield is powdered with ermine (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ermine_%28heraldry%29), and in the medieval french context was usually a signifier of some association with the crown, or the court, or at least of a fairly high rank.

Ooh, the are so JOKES! Awesome. (:

boots boots boots boots,i nevr thought much about booties but your experience has made me curious…maybe its time for me to find som….

ah! i’m glad to see they landed safety and are more magnificent than even you made them out to be.

Those are pretty. I want them. (And I never ever say that about any clothes.)

The silver part looks kind of shiny. I want shiny cowboy boots.

I love shiny things too.
Especially your boots.
They are the most awesome pair of boots I have ever seen.
Including Jack Heath’s, and his boots are pretty awesome too.
But in a less exciting and shiny way.
.

i love your boots. they are AMAZING. can i have them?

pretty shoes! shiny shoes! black and red and silver shoes! yay!

also, i wish i had a family crest. that’s pretty crazy.

we watched a movie called braveheart and were were studing motif and one of the motifs was a thistle, it means that you are tough and never give up

Karen: Well spotted! Yes, that is the Larbalestier family crest and yes they was handmade. They is SO comfortable!

Larbalestiboots . . . Tee!

Those are BOOTS.

The only down side is, when you wear those boots, you will have to be carried around on somebody’s shoulders so that the boots are eye-level to all and sundry.

Whoa! Those are some seriously awesome boots!

Whoa! Those are some seriously awesome boots! Did you have them specially made, cause I see the family symbol there on them, which is WAY cool.

I posted one, then read and realized you’d already mentioned they were specially made. Just ignore me. :p

Those have to be the most awesome of awesome boots!

Ooooh! Nice! Very “Devil’s Panties.”

(Er… that’s a webcomic! A very nice and innocent webcomic! With awesome boots.)

Well Ms. Larbalestiboots, whatcha gonna wear ‘em with?

Oh my, those are fabulous! And handmade! Sheesh…

hope@15: with the matching arbalest, one assumes.

david moles

ooh, yes an arbalest, but i hope she would *carry* that, not wear it. leggings? pleather? what can be worthy of the awesomeness of those boots?

What the fashionable Slayer will be wearing this spring season…

Methinks these will be Ms. Justine’s “summer boots” like some rich people in the Snow Belt have “summer cars” (typically Porsches or Corvettes) that never see snow.

Oh, wait; I guess all her boots are like that.

Those are, in fact, killer boots m’lady!

Gorgie!

Justine, it appears your Elvis gene has kicked into overdrive!

Elvis = shiny!

oh wow. oh wow. works of art, they are.

Those boots are definately worthy of a cult of their own. There could be festivals. Polishing Day. Re-Soling Monday. Tap Tuesday (for when the heels wear down). I’d sign up. Word.

your boots keep IMing me. I wish they’d stop seeing how I am attempting to write.

Justine, those are some seriously hot boots.

I am jealous.

epitome of kickass

Larbalestiboots!
Shiny!

waaaaaannnnttttt. is viry noice. I r jealous of noice boots.

Very cool. I was wondering when those would show up…

this is completly random, but my cats name is Boots. we named her that because she is black with white paws.

by the way the boots are awsome!!!!!!!!!!!
