What happens when you spend all weekend reading Tokyo Street Style and have too much disposable income?

You buy these:

And then you have to email your gay friends who, being gay, actually take your emergency very seriously and give you heartfelt advice like this:

About the high tops---they draw people in, and you need to work those babies--they have a girly yet masculine quality to them, so many people would be intimidated by them and not be able to work them---the question is, can you? Listen to some Missy Elliot and see if that inspires you any!

God bless gay men and their enthusiasm. But am I woman enough to be a gay man? If you see these on the feet of a shy, dark-haired woman this weekend, holla!
