Are those the same shoes you had when I was a grad student?

@JohnD - hey those are my new boots, er, so yes, I think so...

@Dr F.-R. - not yet

@Isis - yes, yes it is.
As for Ms Sep - sure, if it is in a Good Cause, or well paid, or something.
I'd even consider going topless, if artistic and aesthetic considerations demand it.
