SHOE TALK with shudiva1973
Q: Why do you love shoes?
My love for shoes stems back to about the age of 5. I used to step into my mom’s shoes to try and walk around in them because they were so pretty. At the time, I remembered saying that when I grew up, I was going to have rooms of pretty shoes so that I could look pretty just like my mommy! My passion for shoes has taken over. I literally turned one of my bedrooms into a “shoe room” so that it mimicks a shoe store; complete with the little bench and big mirror to try them on. I’ve also collected “Just The Right Shoe” collectibles for years. I have EVERYTHING in shoes–bedding, christmas ornaments, dishes, push pins, toothbrush holder, barware shaped like shoes, air freshners–EVERYTHING!!! My door mat in front of my house is a set of two leopard heels!! I am addicted to shoes. I think that even if you have on a not-so-hot outfit, if you have a hot pair of shoes, everything else will fall into place. A shoe says so much about a person. You can NEVER have too many pairs! Shoes make me emotional. I can cry at the drop of a hat if I see a shoe that just blows me away.”
