I have to admit that I have no idea what you mean[t], but I get the sense of a cultural reference missed, with which I should be familiar.
Because of this I couldn't actually guess, so I picked Michael for an array of personal reasons, including a truly odd experience I once had in Florence.
I know these as the names of archangels (genderless, impersonal)... and that's more or less it. I know there is some dispute over the status of one of the last four (Remiel, I think, which would have been my guess, for no reason at all), and I'm familiar somewhat with their associations, but the stuff I learned never put their conflicting with one another out there as an option. So I just KNOW there's something I'm not getting

For instance, if i wanted a table in the Music room of 1728, i would not wear these. They'd be a little wrong. Would i wear these to some stuffy reception? Probably. Maybe. Depends. I still contend that if every other item of dress was traditionally event/place appropriate, these boots could go anywhere. Heck, I'd accompany you wearing these with a dinner jacket and white tie... sure beats patent leather pumps with grosgrain bows

After all, you didn't need to answer so quickly. As to the "fight", what if you think of it this way: angels are "functions". Like computer software, they have "purpose". You saw a Matrix ... Agent Smith is a piece of software. Functions and programs come into conflict with each other on occasion. Perhaps the most famous failed function was Lucifer. Or was he?
Here's a statue in Madrid:
Of course, the statue's all wrong, he was a lot "shinier". Hahahahaha! I'm kidding, joking ... a bit of the Story is spilling over into this post. Speaking of stories, i will properly name the answer in the next installment (whenever that will be). This is going to be fun, you didn't think Felix would just sit back and watch, did ya? You take the white uniforms, i'll do the black!
... sure beats patent leather pumps with grosgrain bows Heh, just so long as you don't put grosgrain & organza ribbons in Felix's hair!

Am I even more confused than I originally thought? Is the codeine still coursing through my bloodstream (and if so, why am i STILL coughing, dammit?!)?
Initially, I thought you wanted one name picked, but I couldn't figure out to what it related. Then, it seemed that the question had more to do with your curiosity over which I'd pick. Now, I have doubts about both possibilities.

I only saw the third instalment of The Matrix, and had not a clue as to what was happening. So, I just sat back and enjoyed the clothing, and the spectacle of Keanu Reaves trying to act. He was funnier in "Bram Stoker's Dracula", though.

Answer:
What we have here, m'dear ... is a complete failure to c'municate!
Yes, it's the codeine in your system. Rhinathiol® expectorant worked pretty well for me. I don't touch their antirhinitis though, it sucks.
PS: You keep talking about a 'wig'. WHAT wig? Let's assume Felix has his own hair (for a little while longer), mmkay?

Originally Posted by CoTHukoB PS: You keep talking about a 'wig'. WHAT wig? Let's assume Felix has his own hair (for a little while longer), mmkay? At some point Felix--or Tibbe (they keep getting interchanged)--was wearing a wig. I don't know if it ever came off, and it was backward and obstructing vision, so a bow seemed in order. But I think real hair lurked beneath, the wig is/was just decorative.

Ah, and i thought you were fooling about with my avatar! Okay, that's clearer now.

I'm wearing these boots right now. Those images don't do them justice.
My god, i look pretty.
No, wait; i'm fucking gorgeous! Hahahaha!

Answer:
Congratulations... and don't forget, in your excitement, that you have to wear other things WITH them (knickers, suspender belt, some sort of tops and bottoms...)!

How about something like what's in my avatar? What do you think?
Or maybe:
http://www.sarnotux.com/media/images.../items/306.jpg
And then there are the accessories. Don't get me started!
PS: What's not apparent in those images is the very well done quality of 'distress'. Also, there's a neat succubus in cowboy boots incised into the soles. And the heel is perfect, does not need to be changed in any way. The Ferragamos will never forgive me!
PPS: Merci à tous for your input in this thread.

Aaah, alright: The avatar image is too small for me to say anything more than that the effect is fine; in the image in the link, however, the model looks so uncomfortable (smile notwithstanding) that the look is just killed.
