Kick Off Your Heels and support Women's Heart Research!

You may know about my "show fetish".  Yes, I have "a few" pairs of shoes. Not as many heels as I used to , but that won't stop me from wanting a pair of THESE heels, created by some very talented artists will be auctioned off to benefit women's heart health and education! Did you know heart disease kills more women each year than all cancers combined? Join us to educate the public about this disease and help save lives.

Kick Off Your Heels!

Let me introduce a fantastic, fun(draising) event:  Kick Off Your Heels!  I hope you will join me in submitting a fabulous, custom-decorated set of heels for consideration in this juried event.

Are you aware that more women die each year in the US from cardiovascular disease than all cancers combined?!  Sue Bleiweiss and Jamie Fingal put together a project to help raise awareness of that horrifying statistic.  The goal is to raise $5,000 for The Barbra Streisand Women’s Heart Center at Cedars-Sinai Hospital in Los Angeles,California: they not only treat women, but also educate and do major research for this disease as it pertains to women.  Katie Couric talked to Barbra  Streisand about the heart center and you can watch excerpts from that interview here.

So how are we going to do achieve our goal? We’ll do it through an online sale of high heel shoes that have been transformed into works of art!   We’ve already created a few pairs of shoes to inspire the art communityand you can see those here.  Here are the heels I’ve created for this project that will be available for purchase in May of 2013:

These stilettos are called,

"Women Fly When Men Aren't Looking"
