Footwear fetish

On Saturday I went to the Marakina Shoe Museum, a museum dedicated to fancy footwear. The museum's main collection is the hundreds of designer shoes worn by former Philippines first lady, Imelda Marcos. Imelda's love of expensive shoes is well known- it’s been reported that she never wore the same pair twice! The museum certainly had an impressive collection of high heeled numbers in every color of the rainbow.


A small section of the museum is dedicated to non-Imelda footwear. Exhibits include a white pair of heels worn by current President GMA (Gloria Macapal Arroyo) when she was sworn in as President. However the exhibit that caught my eye was the "Footwear of Australia", a random pair of RM Williams boots which had been donated to the museum…strange but true!

And here's a pic of me outside the museum with my fave footwear, red Birkenstocks!
