As stated, I will describe each pair that I have collected...
1) Dorothy Perkins Flats (5-UK) These stinky, smelly flats were won from a cutie on a bar bet (who can name all of the 007 actors...) in a pub outside of Manchester, England. She gave them up right off her feet and these things just stink like vinegar!!!
2) Nine West Heels (8-1/2-US) These shoes were worn by a VERY hardworking concierge at 5-star hotel in Paris. I met her when I checked in and for some reason we hit it off... By the time I was leaving, I had literally charmed the shoes off of her feet! These things are D-E-S-T-R-O-Y-E-D!!! The insoles are DONE!!!
3) River Island Pointy Flats (39-EUR) Another smelly pair that was won in yet ANOTHER bar bet!!! (This time I had to spell Albuquerque... LOL!!!) Beside winning a pair of pungent pointy flats, I didn't have to pay for another drink that night, too! (I did talk the girl into keeping her shoes on until she had to leave... by that time, they burned the eyebrows with the odor...)
4) Life Stride Pumps (8-US) The funny thing about these are... I had an out of town meeting with a client in Chicago, and as I went to the meeting, I met his secretary... who had THESE shoes on... Well, the meeting went on WAY past 5 pm and by the time I left, I ended up walking out with my client's secretary... As we were walking out together, she stopped to throw her shoes out in the trash bin... I wasn't gonna pass THESE up!!!
5) White Stag Pumps (7-1/2-US) Now these were owned by a VERY, VERY hardworking flight attendant who I've known for many years and she actually forget these shoes at my apartment some years back. So being the gentleman I am, I had told her not once, but 9 times that she'd left her shoes at my place... Well, she never came and picked them up... I can see why... They stink BADLY and from the use of foot powder, the powder DID NOT HELP, because these things SMELL BAD!!!
6) Unknown pointy kitten heels (37-EUR) Now, I can't see the name on these because the Greek chick who owned these shoes wore them EVERY single day I saw her (while I was in Greece on business) and getting a hold of these was SO easy... All I said was that I liked her shoes... and she gave them to me! She said they would be a 'souvenir' of my trip to Greece... What a gift!!!
7) l.e.i. pointy zipper heels (7-1/2-US) These are a very interesting pair of shoes because of the zippers... and they DO work, too! Would you believe that I found these shoes in my hotel room that I checked into?... Somebody didn't do a good clean up job... They were right under my bed! What a VERY SMELLY catch!!!
8 Highlights Black Flats (7-1/2W-US) Now these interesting shoes were found in a park in Atlanta... The lady who owned these must have been an unique individual... She painted her own little emblem on the right shoe (don't know what that's about...), but she must have not liked the smell she left in them because I could smell 'em 2-3 feet away!!!
Couldn't pass these up!!!
9) Nuovo Black Heels (24.5-JAPAN) These shoes STINK, period!!! I acquired these shoes from a business center/hotel employee that I had working for me while in Tokyo on business. The first day I met her, I noticed her shoes were a wreck! When I asked about them, she was saying that she was quitting at the end of the month and she was gonna throw them away... Well, I couldn't let that happen... I shot my 'lines' and she gave them to me... FOR FREE!!! She gave them to me right after a LONG DAY on her feet! She even gave me the heel that broke off of her left shoe!!! These shoes stink, stink, STINK!!!
10) F.A.X. Pointy Black Flats w/Ties (39-EUR) While in Valencia on business, I came across a nice little cafe to sit and enjoy a little coffee... Until 'she' came to take my order... I noticed those shoes had MANY miles on 'em! So, a little talk here, a little smile there... When she finished work, she gave me a little plastic bag as she was leaving. Guess what was inside?...
P.S. she told me she owned these shoes for 2 years and wore them EVERYDAY!!!
11) Topshop Silver pointy flat (7-UK) It's wild to see people drunk... especially women! LOL! Whilst in Dublin, I was hanging out at a pub and on my way back to my hotel, I notice three women trying (and I mean TRYING) to negotiate who was gonna drive home... Well, this tall and quite good looking redhead was determine to win the argument. She did some kind of high kick as she slid into the car and the shoe went flying... I waited and they left... Too bad I didn't get the other shoe... DARNIT!
12) Wanted Brown Pointy Heels (10-US) This was like shooting ducks in a bathtub... I remember she walked into this Mexico City bar and complained, complained, COMPLAINED about how her shoes hurt her feet... She was kickin' them off, putting them on, etc, etc and finally when she was alone, I sent her a bottle of champagne... and her shoes were then added to MY collection! This Mexican sista tore these shoes up and she even mentioned how bad they smelled!!! AND THEY STILL DO!!!
13) Highlights Black Chunky Heels (10W-US) Oh boy!!! These shoes were a find... These belonged to an Indian princess, whom I had the honor of hanging with... She worked as a ticket agent for a major int'l airline and when always hung out when I came to town... Well, we hung out alright... She left her shoes at my hotel and while in town I would ask her when she's gonna come get her shoes... She went and bought new ones and told me to throw them out!!!
When I check them out for better inspection, they had tissue paper jammed in the toes!!! I did ask her about it and she told me it was because she didn't like insoles and the tissue paper absorbed the sweat better being on her feet all long... Hell yes, I was glad to get these!!!
STAY TUNED FOR PART TWO ON MONDAY!!! YOU WON'T BE DISAPPOINTED!!!
And now... I have met the woman of my dreams and (she has the most beautiful EVERYTHING from head to toe!) I'm letting the entire collection go!
