Sarah Jessica Parker – THE SHOE GAL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Today I watched a rerun of a Bravo Show “Watch What Happens Live”  because SJP (Sarah Jessica Parker) was the guest.  SJP is quite a lady.  In the one hour program  SJP never said a negative word about anything.  SJP knows how to put a good spin on everything.  I was TOTALLY IMPRESSED!  In fact, I am now a bigger SJP Fan. 

SJP (Sarah Jessica Parker)  had on a cute little black dress and black rhinestone pantyhose and  Red Charlotte Olympia Shoes.  She looked great.  I really want a pair of the hose she was wearing.  (I have seen similar hose in the past and I an happy they are in style this season – a great look for New Year’s Eve. )

Well, I searched for an hour on the internet and was unable to find a picture of the Fogal Rhinestone Hosiery online.  Hopefully, the expensive hosiery store at the Water Tower Shopping Center in Chicago is still there and carrying this hosiery.

I was also unable to find the Charlotte Olympia shoes that SJP wore, but here is a cute pair that I found and really like. 

I can’t believe I can’t find the rhinestone hosiery or a picture of Sarah Jessica Parker in the hosiery.  Oh Well!  

Wish I could get a Heel Shield to SJP to get her opinion of the product.  Since Sarah Jessica Parker is “TheShoeGal” I would love to know what she thinks about our nifty little shoe care product.

Whoopi in Christian Louboutin’s

Whoopi spent the weekend in England doing stuff with the Queen.  And she mentioned that in her performance she wore Christian Louboutins!  Yes, that makes me happy – every woman should own a pair of CL’s at some time in her life (I am still working on my first pair).  

Funny on the day that Whoopi mentions wearing CL’s, Elizabeth was wearing her favorite shoes – the beige jeweled peep toe pumps.  This has to be the fifth time I have seen them this season.  However, I have to admit that they are better than the brown flat boots she also likes to wear OFTEN!  Unfortunately, the brown flat boots look like she has kicked all of the leather off the toe of both boots – she needs to retire them. 

Sherri – thanks to Sherri – she again had on some fabulous boots and shoes this week.  A pair of suede CL’s and some others that I am unable to identify – but they were still very nice. 

Since the show is in New York, I wonder if any of the ladies drive?  If they do, Heel Shields would be a great item to gift them all with for Christmas.  I wonder if I sent them if they would get them? Hmmmmmmmmmmmmm

Hanging with Steve Harvey

I was the lucky winner of two tickets to a recent Steve Harvey Morning Show at KMart.  I had no idea what to expect, especially since I hadn’t had the opportunity to hear his show before arriving.     

Watching the morning show team in action was quite fascinating and Steve is even funny at 5:00 am.  I have to admit I went to the show to get a chance to show Steve the Heel Shield.  Steve is known for his suits.  I though his shoes would be nice, but the shoes were even better than nice.    This is Steve’s Blue Suede Shoe – FABULOUS!  And, the sole of the shoe is red with three gold bars near the heel.  Beautiful shoe. (Is Christian Louboutin doing men’s shoes now?)   In fact, most of the shoes on the morning show staff were very nice.  

Ramonski Love was also at the show that morning.  And, here are Ramonski’s shoes.  Ramonski got his Heel Shield at the morning show. 

I gave a Heel Shield to one of the ladies on the team and she let Steve see her bookmark and Heel Shield.  Steve Harvey read the bookmark information to the studio audience and complimented me on the creation of a great product.  Steve Harvey made several complimentary comments about the Heel Shield. 

This more a picture of the material of the suit than it is the shoe.   And, this shoe belongs to Steve Harvey’s Body Guard Boomerang – He took a pink Heel Shield for his wife – he loved Heel Shields toooooooooooo!

Whoopi in a Wedge Boot/Elizabeth in a rerun!

I got a chance to look at the view recently.  And the shoes on the show were good.  Whoopi had on a black wedge.  I love it when Whoopi wears a nice shoe.  Barbara and Joy had on sensible (not my descriptive word – borrowing from the industry) black pumps.  In fact, this seems to be their footwear of choice these days. 

Sherrie had on knee-high black boot.  Carrie Prejean wore a tan hidden platform with a 4-5 inch heel – really nice like Sherrie’s.   And, Laurence Fishburne wore a boot with  brass toes and flower patterned jeans.  I don’t usually find Laurence to be sexy, but he was hitting on all points today. 

And Elizabeth AGAIN wore a jeweled tan peep toe.  I think she really likes this shoe since I know I she has worn it before.  Now I am going to have to see the shoes every day to see how many times she wears them this season.

A new form of Athlete’s Foot

I have to admit that I am suffering from a new form of Athlete’s Foot.  This is a form of Athlete’s Foot that only affects women. 

How is that possible you ask?  Men  can’t get this too? Well, they do, but considering how men’s feet tend to look, this isn’t an issue for them.  However, take a close look at this celebrity foot, she to suffers from this Athlete Foot.   Look closely and you can see how her feet are a different color from her legs.  This celebrity is an athlete and the tan from wearing her athletic shoes while working out keeps her feet from tanning at the same rate as her legs – hence the new type of athletes foot.  So ladies, lets wear our athletes foot as a badge of honor.  Working out and participating in various sports gives us weird tans, but our bodies (and our men) love us for the effort.  Now the nail polish styling is another story. 

CUTE CROCS

Now that is something that I would never have expected that I would say – or even think!

Today, I saw a pair of cute Crocs. They were green and looked adorable. I have to admit the size of the Crocs had a lot to do with their ‘cuteness.’ A cute little toddler girl had on green Crocs with a face built into the shoe. Both the shoes and the toddler were adorable!

I realize that there are a lot of people who swear by the comfort of their Crocs.  But for me, I can’t try them on for the experience, because I can’t imagine looking down and seeing them on my beautiful feet.

I am waiting for a Croc that appeals to my aesthetic – and then I will have to try them!

Shoes at the Chgo Football Classic

The Football Classic is a Chicago Classic.  Most of the party is in the hallways of the Suites and in the Parking Lot.  The battle of the bands gets the most fan attention.  And lots of people come out.  There are so many people to reacquaint with and new people to meet, that sometimes I forgot to take pictures.   

These are the first shoes and the last shoes of the day. 

The men in Chicago also pride themselves on having really stylish shoes!  The slacks were also something to see, but we were really only shooting pictures of shoes.  Except for the black leather/vinyl leggings! (She looked Great!)

                                

The shoes ran the gamut – flats, sandals, boots, shooties, sequined heels, and of course  pumps!

 

The following shoes are my favorites from the day.  Now understand, all of the shoes I photographed stood out on their own. 

So, thanks and congratulations to all of the Shoe Aficionados.  Sorry about the picture of the man’s shoe, the toe of the shoes had a nice angle.  Which one is your favorite.  Feel Free to leave a comment voting for your favorite!!!!.   

Thanks to the Barefoot Drivers!

I just wanted to say “Thank You” to all of the Barefoot Drivers.  No, I am not happy that you are not a customer.  A Heel Shield is a much better option than driving barefoot – keeps the inside and outside of the shoe clean. 

And, barefoot drivers probably don’t realize that along with the dirt from their car mats (that is going into the ‘shoes they are trying to save’) are thousands  of bacteria.  And, we all know what bacteria does in dark damp places! 

I realize that  for years you have tried all sorts of things to protect the outside of your shoe, (towels and special mats) – but Heel Shields weren’t invented yet.  So you settled on barefoot driving.  I am sorry that the inside of your shoes may have an odor and the inside not look so good.  I am sorry it took so long to get Heel Shields on the market.  But I thank you for validating the need for Heel Shields by taking off your shoes to PROTECT YOUR SHOE INVESTMENT!

The Cobbler and The Heel Shield

I stopped by my cobbler’s  shop today with my Magic Marketing Master to see if he  could coerce The Cobbler into starring in a video about Heel Shields. 

Prior to stopping by, my cobber was unaware of my product and probably didn’t remember me either (but that is another story). 

 

Anyway MMM (Magic Marketing Master) asked the cobbler  about repairing the shoe having BLACK HEEL (the damage to the rear of the shoe caused by UNPROTECTED driving).  The Cobbler stated: “we can clean them but the place where the leather is damaged – CAN’T BE REPAIRED.  

The Cobbler went on to tell us about how in the past he carried items that were placed on the car mats – but he eventually stopped carrying them – BECAUSE – they didn’t work. 

The Cobbler was quite skeptical about the Heel Shield at first.  SOOOO, I showed him how the Heel Shield would fit on the damaged shoe.  THEN, I put the same Heel Shield on the boot of the MMM and back on the ladies high heel.  HE WAS SOLD!

The Cobbler placed an order on the spot!  Still we couldn’t get The Cobbler to do the video – OH WELL!

Uggs – Bet you didn’t know

Ladies, I bet you didn’t know (American Ladies that is) that Uggs were created for “after surfing.”  Uggs are not a WINTER boot after all!  Uggs are for use all year long.

Stop laughing, that is one of the myths that Whooga Boots wants to clear up.  Uggs are not for SNOW!   In fact, my take on what I read is -  Uggs are just  tall house shoes.  (I personally will be getting a new pair just for the snow in Chicago this winter.)

Now, let me tell you, when I first saw them I said – YIKES! BUT they look like good snow boots.  When I heard that you wear them barefoot – I really got excited because of how warm they keep your feet (real Uggs won’t stink if you keep your feet clean – NO DRIVING BAREFOOT) 

Whooga has the best price for Uggs that I have seen.  Whooga is an Australian company that ships to the US. 

One more thing I have to mention – Heel Shields will fit on your Uggs.  Using a Heel Shield when you drive will ensure you don’t get BLACK HEEL (unprotected driving syndrome) on your Uggs!

THE BOOT for Fall - OTK

This fall, the hot boot for the season will be the Over-The-Knee boot.  Christian Louboutin and Prada have created some “to die for” (can I still use that phrase) boots for this season.  And the Style war rages!

PRADA

Christian Louboutin

As you can see, the days of “swash buckling” OTK boots is gone.  We no longer have to look like pirates.  Even though I have seen a few boots that look back towards the old style.  But here is a OTK Biker Boot even a square girl could love!

Each of these boots should come with a Heel Shield!  It is impossible to take these Thousand Dollar boots off in the car in order to prevent getting Black Heel stains while driving.

Heel Shields SAVE Joan Rivers’ Chanel's!

On my last trip back from Chicago to Phoenix, I was in the rear of the plane. As I stepped into the terminal, I saw a woman, a man and a little girl standing by the door.  I looked – the woman looked like Joan Rivers. 

Well,  I had to stop and see if it really was Joan Rivers – IT WAS!   I have to tell you SHE LOOKS GOOD!    So, I spoke to her, let her know that my sister and I had watched her on Celebrity Apprentice, blah, blah, blah. 

The best part of this story for me is Joan Rivers accepted two Heel Shields – one for her and one for her daughter Melissa.  After using her Heel Shield in a rented SUV (JOAN RIVERS TOOK HER HEEL SHIELD WITH HER WHILE TRAVELLING); I received an email THANKING ME FOR HER HEEL SHIELD!  Now, that is really cool!

If the shoe doesn’t fit – PLEASE don’t wear it!

When I was little, when you went to the shoe store the salesman had a metal device with sliding ends he used to measure your feet.

As an adult, I don’t see very many of the measuring devices.  I wonder are these measuring devices extinct?  I ask this question because of the number of women I see wearing shoes that are either too big or too small.   Either is not good for your feet.  Your feet are supposed to be contained by the shoe 

I have worn Stuart Weitzman shoes for years and in his shoes I wear a size 10.  I can see a Stuart Weitzman shoe in a catalog, order it in a size 10 and know that it will fit perfectly.  I wear a size 11 in a Christian Louboutin.  Unfortunately, I don’t have as much experience with a Christian Louboutin Shoe, but, I am certainly working on it. 

100% SCUFF FREE GUARANTEE

Unfortunately I don't think we have ever published our 100% Scuff Free Guarantee. Well, here is how it works. If you purchase a Heel Shield and it does not protect the heel of your footwear (the part of the heel that rests on your car mats when you drive) from the scuffing, staining and other driving damage, then your money will be refunded. NO question, NO reasons required. Just return your Heel Shield to the address on the website and your money will be refunded!



So, if you have been hesitating about ordering your very own Heel Shield, you NO longer have to worry - will it work. Heel Shields are 100% Scuff Free Guaranteed to deliver on their promise to protect your shoes (boots included) while you drive!

Chicago TV Debut

Got to the TV Station a half-hour earlier than the hour early requested. Really excited about the appearance - 3 minutes to talk about Heel Shields to a large TV audience - GREAT!

The Green Room was already full of people and their products. Everyone was really friendly and sharing information.

The Intern (Anne) talked about how the selection of the six finalists for the show were chosen - I missed it. I was working on getting organized. However, I did hear the part about the original grouping was over 100 Inventors and Entrepreneurs.

So, to be one of the six was quite an accomplishment in itself. Some of the finalists were calling the station about segments and others were sending email - I am not sure how I was chosen, but I am happy I was.

Here is the URL for the show - hope you watch! http://tiny.cc/HeelShieldsABCTV

She did it Again - Whoopi wore heels

It is amazing. I haven't watched the view since the few weeks after the election. So, it was really a surprise to see that Whoopi wore heels again. I don't know if anyone else cares, but I love shoes and some of the shoes she wears are hard to look at for any length of time. So, it is really good when she wears a pair of shoes that are easy on the eyes!

So I say - Good Going Whoopi!

Being on TV

I was lucky enough to have an invitation to appear on TV in Phoenix on the Sonoran Living Live TV Show. The Segment was an opportunity for me to showcase Heel Shields to the Phoenix Community. But I didn't write about it any where - so many people probably missed the segment.

Well I have been BLESSED again with an opportunity to appear on TV -this time in Chicago. Janet Davies is hosting a program on inventors and entrepreneurs - WOW. Since I learned last time that I should write about the opportunity - here is the information.

Krystal McAllister - Inventor/Patent Holder/Entrepreneur will appear on ABC-Channel 7 in Chicago, May 18, 2009 at 11:00 with Janet Davies - THAT IS PRETTY COOL! I hope you will watch if you can!
