Face it- you will never be as cool as you once were in your L.A. Gears. These illuminating wonders were the kindergarten couture of grade school recess. They spit mad game in gym class, made you faster during “red rover” and drove every parent nuts due to incessant stomping. I remember mine like it was yesterday…snow white, silver details and bright neon pink and orange lights that could blind a rhino. This is a trend that must be resurrected ASAP. If I ever get the mom gene, the only shoes my kids will wear are Chucks and L.A. Gears.

I stole my first pair of platforms from the Spice Bus in 1997 when Anglophilia was all the rage. Collector of vintage bags, vinyl and kitchen appliances. My dream of becoming a butcher is momentarily on hiatus so I can teach you how to wear muumuus and apply false eyelashes. Follow me on Twitter @CrystlMeatballs.
