Bingo. Power tools, electronics, season tickets, or whatever the passion may be.
One man's 46" HD flat-panel is another woman's pair of Christian Louboutins.
But to address the original question in the first post, personally, I don't wear shoes just once. Some women do I'm sure, but I believe that these are mostly the true shopaholics, the ones who need intervention - and I'm not being funny - I used to have a friend like this... she has hundreds (no exaggeration) of handbags, many of them never used, or used for maybe a week until a new shiny $300 object caught her eye. Many of these are the insanely expensive ones... Louis Vuitton, Coach, Dooney... etc. Same with shoes. Hundreds of barely worn pairs... it's sick! These people are no different from drug addicts. They drop a bunch of money on bullshit because it makes them feel good at the time. Like with this girl I've described... been shopping with her countless times and I can honestly say of the thousands of dollars I've watched her drop on clothes, shoes, bags, jewelry, makeup and other accessories, I've seen her wear or use maybe 15% of the items, and usually only once or twice.
But I don't think this applies to most of us women. Plus, the more expensive something is, the more likely I am to use the hell out of it.
I was never into handbags and shoes at all - but right around 2007, my girlie gene finally kicked in.
