I originally made the boot with the intention of putting flowers or plants in it, although it still looks sculpturally cool when empty. I happen to think that it looks really nice with flowers in it, especially flowers from a certain cute boy. It makes me wonder--how did he learn to be so adorable?
I like to pretend to not be girly at all, but it's really an oversimplification to act like that's who I am. Although I like bikes and fixing things and power tools and being strong and doing things myself, I also like flowers and beautiful things and other people. My own confusion about the subject is probably clearest with respect to door-holding, traditionally an East Coast thing that boys do for girls (but often it's everyone doing it for everyone). People rarely hold doors in Seattle. With some people, I get really defensive about door-holding and have actually turned it into an issue in some cases.
