It's Sunday morning. I have the whole house to clean, two loads of washing to be done and a big, black dog who needs to have a bath. So, what do I do? Grab a coffee and catch up on the news via the brilliant New Zealand Herald of course!
Cruising the Life Style pages, imagine my excitement when I find this article on the new New York shoe store so big it is going to have its own ZIP CODE! Hmmm......wonder if Fungus and I can afford to fly to the Big Apple for a week? Because, that is how long it will take me to get through this store!
Not only that, there was also this little ditty about the ultimate Shoe Diva, Imelda Marcos, and her infamous shoe museum. Can you believe I have not yet been there? Shame on you Shoe Diva. Read more about it here and believe me when I say there will be a blog about it soon. It is on my list of "MUST VISIT BEFORE I LEAVE THE PHILIPPINES" list.

That is frightening and divine at once!
Hmmm. The last time I've seen Imelda Marcos' shoe collection was during a high school field trip to Malacanang Palace. Yeah, during that time, she had (I think I could remember) a hallway with cabinets filled from top to bottom with her infamous shoes. So I guess her collection has been moved to a better, larger location since Malacanang Palance is currently used by Arroyo and her staff.
We can go to New York...if I can go Mountain biking in Jersey....
We can go to Imelda's museum...if you pay me....

I logged onto the U.W.C.S.E.A alumni website and was shocked to find your entry! Yes, one of your old students has hunted you down! Your blog site? Made me laugh! It is great! Just like i remember you! Except never knew about the obsession with shoes :)
I want to send you an email but i can't seem to find your email address. Need to tell you all about sunny Cape Town, South Africa.
Send me your address to pierrevercueil@gmail.com.
Much to tell! Talk soon!
