On the other side of the Wardrobe servants sort out fancy slippers, shoes and boots.Fancy a bit of chick-lit?
by Donna Kauffman
Description from the amazon:
THERE’S A LITTLE BIT OF CINDERELLA IN EVERY WOMAN . . .
. . . except Darby Landon, or so she thinks before meeting the three fairy godmothers of Glass Slipper, Inc. They guarantee they can bring out the princess in any woman. But they’ll have their work cut out for them with Darby, who’s more comfortable in jeans and cowboy boots than designer gowns. But when she’s called from her Montana ranch to squire her impossible-to-please father’s star client around the D.C. social scene, Darby has to turn into the queen of chic . . . and fast.
Between torture-chamber sessions of tweezing and teasing, and horrifying lessons on place settings, Darby finds herself drawn into a fairy-tale romance of the very adult variety with Shane Morgan, the devastatingly sexy (and reluctant) heir to one of the city’s largest companies. But when another Prince Charming arrives on the scene, Darby‘s caught between the woman she is and the woman she’s supposed to be, between two very different irresistible bad boys. Now Darby has to choose her own happy ending . . . and with the help of three very unusual fairy godmothers, this modern-day Cinderella is determined to stay dancing way past midnight—no pumpkins required.

I learned that wearing high heels can be good for your sex life. Definitely interesting.

I learned that I am ignorant when it comes to shoes and that there are some crazy women out there! Giving up chocolate or sex for a pair of shoes? *shudders at the thought*
ReplyDeleteI thought it was odd that a lot of women wear shoes that are too small for them! That's just a sad day! I always err on too big rather than too small (comfort over style, babe).
ReplyDeleteI learned that the average woman owns 19 pairs of shoes!

Ooo please enter me :)
ReplyDeleteI did well but I must say, I'm one of those odd ducks that occasionally ends up with shoes that are too big.

That most likely I am wearing shoes that are too small for me....eeeeeek! :O)

I learned that Darlene Flynn owns 7,765 shoe-related items. That's freaking crazy! Where does she have the room to put all of those shoes?!
ReplyDelete(I also learned I am NOT the average woman because I don't own 19 pairs of shoes and am not a size 8. Slightly depressing D: )

I was stunned to learn that platform shoes, or chopines, were worn by prostitues to elevate them in doorway - thus by increasing their height, they were more easily noticed by potential customers!
ReplyDelete(thinking back to my high school years and 70's platform shoes ... don't remember ever getting propositioned, by golly lol)
i learned a few things iddnt know heels improved ur sex life and the whole platform shoe bit was new to mebut honestly im not suprised
ReplyDeleteI didn't know why heels improved the sex life...but I was surprised by that reason. I got less than half of the questions right. I guess I'm not a fashion maven! *lol* I already signed the guestbook today.
ReplyDeleteWomen wear only 1/4 of their shoes...that's crazy...I know I have some shoes that don't get much use but I didn't know that!

The average woman wears a size 8 which makes me happy as I am an 8 1/2 and always felt that was kind of big. I've always told people shoe size corresponds to IQ, lol...
ReplyDeleteApparently wearing heels improves your sex life!! lol

I was surprised when I read that women in the 20th century were usually size 4!! :O That is way too small.
ReplyDeleteI'm proud of my size 8 :)
Signed the guestbook.
ReplyDeleteAfter taking the quiz I learned most women wear shoes that don't fit proper. I'm so glad I'm not one of these women.
I learned that wearing a 3-inch heel strengthens pelvic muscles, also increasing their ability to contract--it's an effortless, on-the-go version of Kegels.
ReplyDeleteI find it amazing that 88% of women wear shoes that are to small for their feet.

I learned that using a 3 inch heel can improve your sex life, and that some women prefer shoes over sex and chocolate!
ReplyDeleteI learned my girlfriend is very off average since she has about 4 pair of shoes!
ReplyDeleteNot counting slippers!
:)
I learned that using a 3 inch heel can improve your sex life lol and also about the average women shoe size that has increased through the time
ReplyDeletewomen spend 40 hours and 30 minutes shopping for shoes :D fascinating. I think for some girls, a lot more than that!
ReplyDeleteWow! I learnt that women often wear shoes that are too small for their feet, leading to sprains and injury. It's pretty sad, considering women make lots of money nowadays (comparing to the past) and still can't buy shoes that fit...
ReplyDeletePlatform shoes were a way for prostitutes to get noticed!
ReplyDeleteDid not know that!
I learned I am below average using a size 6!
ReplyDeleteI learned that a lot of women wear shoes that are too small for them! I think I'm one of them!
ReplyDeletelesly7ch(at)yahoo(dot)com
3/4 of women's shoes are just "standing there"...
ReplyDeleteSince I don't have enough space I only have the 1/4 I am supposed to wear!
:)
i learned that i have a lot less shoes than the average american woman....probably because i spent the money on books! lol
ReplyDeletek_sunshine1977 at yahoo dot com
I learned the average American woman owns 19 pairs of shoes. I wonder if that includes flip flops...
ReplyDeleteI learned that the average american woman wears a size 8 wide.
ReplyDeleteunforgetable_dreamer_always(at)hotmail.com
I learned there are women giving up chocolate or sex (???) for a pair of shoes.
ReplyDeleteI think one thing has nothing to do with the other!
I learned I knew nothing about shoes!
ReplyDeleteI learned that Darlene Flynn is really crazy for shoes!
ReplyDelete7,765 itens? That's 5 lifetimes worth of shoes (at least)
I signed the guestbook. I learned that the contemporary stiletto was invented in the 1950s by Italian shoe designer Salvatore Ferragamo.
ReplyDeleteaikychien at yahoo dot com
I had no idea Salvatore Ferragamo invented the modern stiletto (and that he made the 1st pair for Marilyn Monroe)!
ReplyDeleteI didn't know either that wearing high heels was good for one's sex life (I mostly thought it was good for the confidence, not that it was good for pelvic muscles!)
