and now I cry...

Most of you know I was trying to get a pair of boots from the Rude store, I managed to come up with the chips (thank you guys and especially crystal, for that last little bit) and I placed my order on the 21st of august. I was under the impression that I would be recieving the boots in about 3 weeks. I then had the idea that with the boots maybe i could get a kickass halloween costume together for the Rude mag so I started searching for the perfect halloween costume. They're doing a Gothic Halloween thing and that's right in line with my costume. I found it, and the boots would finish it off perfectly, I then started coming up with photo ideas to go for the next Rude magazine cover. It would be close but I should have the whole thing together around the 14th. Enough time to grab GW and do the shoot then zip the photos off to the mag. Then I started to worry about the boots order, I never recieved a confirmation of the order being recieved. So, I checked the rude store message board and discovered that Toni (the rude storekeeper) had been out of the country. I sent her a message asking about the boots. I got a message back stating that I should expect them in about a month...
from the message Toni sent to me: "The item that you ordered takes a bit of time since they are made to order. :
Item: Lace Up Knee High Boot 6 Inch Stiletto Heel Qty: 1 ID: 50JUNG609
Description: Pointed Lace Front Knee Boot Has Inner Zipper. Six Inch Heel. ***Items are made to order. May take 1-3 weeks before shipping. **I had just contacted the supplier concerning the order a few days ago and she found out that the maker had lost the order so she has resubmitted. So the order has been placed with the maker and we are just waiting on them."
Even if the boots only take a week to get back to her, there's still shipping to me to worry about. it's EXTREMELY unlikely that they will arrive by the 14th.
Watch as I wave bye bye to the shot for the rude cover and the reason I spent just under a hundred dollars on a halloween costume. No, the boots were not purchased just for the costume, I'm still waiting on another thing that ordered that has been back ordered to arrive, and that's the reason the boots were ordered. But I was really hoping to pull together a really great Halloween piece for the magazine. =/
