Featured Just For Fun

@giulissa just reminded me of this scene from the wonderful Aussie cult movie "The Adventures of Priscilla, Queen of the Desert", the silver shoe on top of Priscilla (the bus):


Anyone who hasn't seen the movie yet, watch! This is an order!

 

Great movie!

 

Funny, funny, awesome movie! Lots of "thumbs up!"

 

A friend took me as a birthday treat when it was first out here. We loved it.

 

YIKES! They didn't do this when I lived in Key West in the 1980s!
(Edit: I just googled and, indeed, this tradition didn't start until 1996.)
What wacky fun, I'd like to see that!

 

@i need help

Years ago I found a book on the original designer of these shoe chairs - he was Greek, I believe - but he was mostly known for sleek modular formica furniture in the 80s, which is why I picked up the book in the first place.

I showed it to a friend who had a shoe chair in his Mid-Century store in SF, and was shocked to find he'd given my book to the buyer!! Anything for a sale

SO... can't dredge it up at the moment, but there actually was someone who was credited with the original concept!!

 

I'm sorry scouts. So I guess he's not your friend anymore.

 

Brad, you might have better luck now, these shoe chairs are making a comeback. Google "High Heel Shoe Chair". Wayfair and other stores are selling updated versions. Just this past year, I read that women who have giant walk in closets are in love with these chairs.

 

Wayfair...you got just what I need !!
Great marketing.....for a company I never heard of before !
