What do you look at first when you meet someone?

The picture says it all.

I cannot refrain myself from looking at the shoes. As soon as I am shaking a hand, the corner of my eye discretely and subconsciously slips down (same as when you get undressed).

Clean, worn out, classic, latest edition fresh from Vogue, trendy, passee’, sneakers, knock offs, wrong season, chipped pedicure, smashing combination, original color, fabulous, inadequate occasion, trying too hard, could not be better …

It is not frivolity and I have a theory to explain it. It is either you are an elephant or a baboon. That is, it is a thermometer that measures how much impact you leave after I have met you. I’s a scale that goes from the bold, indelible elephant footprint to the one of a baboon, imperceptible to the senses. It is as a natural instinct as wildlife, it is not fashion discrimination. The variable is odd, I accept it: personal standards can be pretty high. Too much style can be boring. But I would love you guys to help me understand if the world is really full of elephants and baboons.
