COLLECTION 3.5: A Rough Diary
Transcript:
FISH EATING A BURGER
Top left, black: Yes it is a shoe. Not the most wearable unsure how you get this one on. if you have any ideas, please call me @6508087177.
Blue, top: I haven’t taken this to a manufacturer yet but I’’ explain what I would say to them. The hamburger is all leather. These cheese and the lettuce are loose on the sides. Like they come out in 3D flopping over the rest of the shoes. The soles is all rubber and the letters stick out of the sides. The fish fin is rubber too. Maybe section 2 of the shoe is leather but the scales are shiny fabric. They glissen and twinkle in the light. Think of mermaids tails you can buy on Amazon to swim in the pool in. Like that. The fish keychain is a big hunk of rubber. It is a customizable piece. You can unclip and attache something new. To keep with the ugg vibe, the hamburger part of the shoe is fuzzy inside. This is a California winter shoe. It keeps the feet warm but cannot and should not sustain any amount of weather/ climate. Including snow, hail, rain, sleet, wet grass, puddles, dog licks, drool, snot, spit, and other weather or body related fluids.
*: if youre reading this first go to. the shoe lace. Ok back to schedule. I want every person to say SHOE when they look at these. They dont have to understand it or want to wear it, but SHOE must pop into their head or I havent accomplished my artistic goals. I ended up adding the shoe lace and zipper at the bottom in the hopes that these clarify something. I dont care if you dont understand how this shoe exactly opens and how you get a foot in it. I will explain that next. We’ll see if I can well enough.
Light purple: I want you. to walk down the streets and people jaw to drop. U deserve that. The shoes deserves that. And strangers dont ask where you got those, but instead what are those, because they know they can’t just get a pair.
Big green: the brain kinda went wild on these ones, I appologize.
Orange + black below: How am I going to put these bad boys on? Excellent question. This shoe comes in two parts. Imagine part 1 like an ugg slipper. Thats all it its. “Backless toe full slide”. Part 2 is unique. Check out exhibit 2. Part 2 has 2 zippers. One zipper attaches it to part 1 where the teeth are (teeth hide zipper). The second zipper closes the back around your leg. As I write this I am unsure the need for the first zipper I described. (I really did think through it and yet. I guess its not an efficient shoe. if you wear this you probably aren’t a very efficient person so youre ok with it). I think the only need for the back zipper is if you wanted to wear a hamburger slipper. Some people might want to wear a hamburger slipper. Especially this one; one designed by me.
Black below purple, directly to the left of shoe: Well this sucks. its the middle of the screen. where all eyes are draw. But I’ve wrote all the important stuff on the outside. I hope if youre reading this you choose a direction, North, West, or south (there is no text to the east) and you read that information. I know you just want to stop here but the other stuff is much more educational and informative. providing all the context you need to this “fish eating hamburger shoe” <- best attempt at italics cause like… proper noun and such
First yellow section: Sometimes I get self conscious of my handwriting. I have never had good handwriting and on an ipad app that is not meant for writing or taking notes its even worse
Lime green: its called a rough diary for a reason. roughness no editing. lots of spelling errors. lots of words that to the average person who doesnt read my chicken skratch often is hard to read. I hope its fun for you to attempt to read it. I apologise for many missing letters in words. My brain moves faster than my hand and I dont care enough to correct.
Bottom yellow: It just wouldnt be the same, it would not be my personal diary if everything was written nice and neat. I[t] also would look ugly
Red: a simple lace for a not so simple shoe <3
Black left of laces: i got kinda stressed the other night cause I finished the shoe but on 1st grance a random person would not identify it as a shoes casue it has no obvious characteristics of such * <-got to star section
bottom left: HUGE bob’s burger’s inspo. NOT the fish part. idk where that came from HMHMHMHMHHHHHH - tina beltcher
Right edge:
for thoseof you that took the time to read this all. wowza, send me a note and ill send you the reading quiz
if you get over 90% on quiz youll be entered into raffle to be my biggest fan
I will select raffle winner on 10.31.23 spooky
Bottom right, red: Sincerely, with so much love from me KATE.

EVERYDAY SHOES FOR THE NOT SO EVERYDAY KID
Top left: HEY HOW YOU DOING KATE its a customizable piece of art. I put my name because obviously I wish it could have been me wearing these kicks. You can fill the blank in any way you want. No need for your name if the general public doesn’t need to know that. I’ll list some options:
Kicker
Stunner
hot shot
dreamer
rockstar
Goofball
cutie pie
Bug
Duck
Sunny
just to name a few
Top middle-right: What do you pair with these shoes? I mean they stand pretty tall on their own, but you wouldn’t dare bring their level down with any set of basic clothes. So lets walk through it because I dont want any one to be stressed. Pants: depends on your vibe. if looking for inner confidence, but not external wear a long pant. the eyes are covered but the horn sticks out. A loose baggy dark jean. No rips allowed. External confidence. tons of options here. I think a cute baggy cargo short/skirt. the khaki color allows these shoes color to shile while not distracting with ugliness. If you want a splash of color then Id say pick a color from the shoe and go full monochrome. that’d be dope. socks are an important factor in play for this outfit. I’m not super down for the nike high. I think we need some color. Plain white is fine. I love a frill. One color, nothing crazy. I would love to design a full matching baseball hat for this shoe. Dont have those skills yet but it would be so cool and the full outfit would look sick. Any kid who rocks both is gonna go somewhere in life. [poorly drawing of design baseball hat] a attempt at the matching hat. shoes are my skill quote obviously
Left of kid poster: these deserve the mud and the dirt as much as the next. they may not look like it, but they have incredible firosity <- literally no clue how to spell that word.
Right of kid poster, red: It is impossible to not have an imagination with these on. Signals will shoot up through the soles of your feet, deep into the blood stream right to the prefrontal cortex. providing fuel to ignite a child’s wildest and craziest dreams [drawing of red heart]
Orange: they will attract the birds and the squirrels and even the fairies. the fairies want to play in the garden that is your shoe [drawing of fairy]
Black below red: these bad boys will not be laced up. those ties in the front… fake. let me explain. Each of those spikes in the back are small clips like these [ drawing of clips] down the back they separate and you slide your foot right through the back.the tail moves to the side. Dont Fret.
Grey next to kid’s foot: the tail swings as you walk protecting from the dangers that lurk from behind
Black below orange: protection from the front is also important while we all have eyes in the front of our head we could also use another set of eyes watching out for use, these eyes stay on swivel. 180˚ of swivel. A parent’s dream.
Pink: Author Note: I made these for the bravest kid, the most self aware kids, the one who wants to stand. out and who knows how to do it the right way. That wasn’t me as a kids. I kept to myself, I followed, I dressed how I wanted, but I was sooo not cool. Not unique. I would not have bought these. I wore slide on vans. They were black and turquoise with little black cats as the pattern. No texture; no depth, no fun. I was fun. I had a lot of fun. But if my parents made we wear these I could have had a LOT more fun. KATE!!
Black below rink: the flower is replaceable. lots of other. accessories can be placed in the holding spot. let your imagination make the decision for you. [drawing of flower and pencil in holding spot]
Bottom: this is created for an and all that will appreciate the CRAFT
Bottom right: Signed with so much love from me, Kate.

Green: He’s a crazy man. I know he’ll read this and I dont want to expose. He has all great intentions, but they are the exact opposite intnetion than someone in his posiiton might or maybe should have. He cant decide what he want wants until he decides and that decision is final. His shoe desginer only draws him rough sketches of shoes, she doesnt want to waster her time laying out all the details until thiws man decides to “make up his f*cking mind; he doesn’t know what he wasnts. Extravagant. Luxurious, Chaotic, unique, exquisite, fabulous, dazkung, all works hes daid to me when I asked what he was looking for in his next paiur. And then he goes and pairs them with a white tank and some khakis. I dont understand” - his shoe designer who requested to remain anonymous
Pink: He says people stop him on the street all the time asking him where he gets his “swaggy kicks”. We can’t imagine they actually use thise words, we are just quoting him.
