Of course I love the figure...great proportion, and those shoes!<br />But another area that is pure eye candy is the side of the seat.

This man is truly dapper looking and I really like the saddle shoes. My daughters had a pair each when they were little...and a pair of penny loafers...and of course, they hated them both.
