Finding Shoes for Larger Feet

• 👠 For those with larger feet (men's size 12-13), OnlyMaker.com is recommended for a wide variety of shoes including heels, sandals, and sneakers.
• 💡 When ordering from OnlyMaker, it's suggested to go up one size (e.g., men's 12-13 might need a size 15).
• 👟 Bob and Monet share that gender-neutral shoes like Air Force Ones or Converse can also be a good option, as men's and women's versions are often very similar.
• 🛍️ Other suggestions include Payless (historically) and Nordstrom Rack for finding women's shoes in larger sizes.

Tipping Etiquette at Drag Shows

Discussing Polyamory and Relationships

• ❤️ When discussing polyamory with a partner, honesty and direct communication are crucial.
