Now, a famous person stands beside the shoes and there is all of about five words in the ad. Before, there would be lengthy prose suggesting how fantastic you'd look in the shoes, and of the quality of the workmanship, yadda yadda.. I know its silly but it seems a lot more tasteful to me.</p> http://torontoist.com/2008/05/vintage_toronto_66.php#comment-1361512 http://torontoist.com/2008/05/vintage_toronto_66.php#comment-1361512 Comments Tue, 13 May 2008 14:27:31 -0500 <p>"home use"?
