Winner of the Fave Shoes Photo Competition!

Congratulations to Kelly Red and her pretty Pradas…

(click photo for maximum footwear fabulosity)

Kelly says, “I saw these shoes and fell in love, I think they are the most beautiful shoes I've ever seen: Prada Obi mule, circa 2001. I came home and told my husband about them, but they were too expensive. 3 days later he comes home with a present and inside were the shoes! I say thank you thank you, but I don't really live the lifestyle to justify wearing these shoes! He says, wear them just for me. So there you go, beautiful shoes that have never gone public, but they have gone to a party! :D”

Kelly, you win a copy of “My Favorite Shoes: True Stories from Around the World”…



What they’re saying about Kelly Red’s shoes…

But then I scrolled further and discovered the couture-like obi-ness of Kelly Red's heels. I gasped, clutched at my pearls and fainted dead-away. She's got my first prize vote!

And congratulations to AyeM8y, Mitzi and Mago who all TIED for First Runner-Up:

AYEM8Y:
I bought these 60's silver glitter pumps with a Lucite heel way back in 1983. And I can still fit into them. I like to wear them with my sarong for special occasions like pool parties, personal appearances, backyard barbecues, operas, orgies, weddings and graduations.


MITZI:


MAGO:
Nice colourful footwear. Made more than thirty years ago by my mother, using remains of a jeans I wore in school once. And of course inked them. Actually these are socks. The soles were made from strong ropes, knotted or tied in a kind of frame. On this the jeans textile stuff was put. Into this was put in a knitted sock patted with wooly stuff. These kind of socks were used by children, sometimes grown ups too, in wooden shoes. Or, if the sole was made from straw and thus stronger, larger and higher, they were worn outside the house. The small sole from rope is good for inside the house. A bit like espadrillas, Franconian edition. I should get rid of them, but still can't.

A huge thank you to EVERYONE who participated in our Fave Shoes Photo Competition.

You’re ALL fabulous!

  11. MAGO: Congratulations to Kelly Red! A lovely pair.

    Congratulations, Mr. Runner-Up!

    Now aren’t you glad you didn’t throw away your shoes?

    TB: I thought the next contest was your "Favorite Weenie" the brand that you want in your bun.

    This is exactly why you need to start your own blog.

    Imagine the fun!

    KELLY RED: I am truly honored, thank you thank you. It's just like being voted prom queen, I never was mind you I'm just guessing.

    Congratulations Kelly!!!

    Perhaps we should hold a prom queen competition here on Infomaniac so everyone gets the chance that passed them by in high school.

    Unfortunately, the High Maintenance Queen crown has already been claimed.

    But don’t worry…there are plenty of opportunities to be a big queen here on Infomaniac.

  15. SCARLET: Congratulations, Miss Red! Fab shoes... be silly of me to ask to borrow them... I'll just have to tie some pretty ribbon around my mules and use a great deal of imagination instead!

    Better a ribbon ‘round a mule than a rope around a jackass.

    ROSES: I embiggened the picture...she even has pretty feet.
    Bitch.


    Now you’re sounding like that bitter old queen CyberPete.

    KELLY RED: Roses, I used to get paid for those feet LOL. (Foot model)

    Shhh…not too loudly.

    You’ll lure Mago (Mistress MJ’s Official Foot Masseur) away.

    MITZI: Congratulations to kelly hope you don't get bunions.

    She can always book an appointment with Miss Scarlet at the Infomaniac House of Beauty, if it comes to that.

    By the way, have you tried her Stick of Butter treatment?

  26. NORMADESMOND: it was a contest overflowing with winners.
    congratulations to everyone!


    Overflowing…that reminds me…

    It’s time to refill the vodka fountain.

    By the way, you were tied with Miss Scarlet and Jill for second runner-up!

    AYEM8Y: All beautiful shoes! Congratulations to Kelly, they really are the prettiest shoes in the whole bunch and I love the story behind them. If you lived close by I would have a party just so you could wear them and you could be the prom queen too.

    And we’d like to thank you for being voted the blogger who most resembles Joey Heatherton.

    I think you and Kelly should do a shoe exchange…just for one night.

    Especially after she mentioned, “My vote goes to AYEM8Y and those silver pumps. I would soooooo wear those to all the events listed. Although sadly I've never been invited to an orgy, one can always hope.”

    THOMBEAU: I absolutely LOVE Kelly's shoes! They're beautiful, and the story is just as lovely.

    That husband of hers is a keeper.

    BOXER: I'm in for the gams. I have a new pair of boxing shoes I'd love to show off.

    Somebody’s a keener.

    Oh, and see Mago’s question to you.

    MAGO: Lemme guess, Boxer - they are ... white?
