Get out your Manolo Blahnik and Jimmy Choo stilettos and head for Escondido, CA on April 3 for the first Stiletto Walk as part of the Escondido Fashion Week Downtown 2009, presented by Mercedes Benz of Escondido.
The purpose of the Stiletto Walk is to raise awareness about ovarian cancer, and to benefit the Clearity Foundation, a non-profit group dedicated to the improvement of treatment options for ovarian cancer (remember Gilda Radner??). There are 15,000 deaths per year from this particular cancer and new treatment options are needed. [photo courtesy of kiirndy on Flickr]
And it's NOT just for the women. Any daring man who wants to take a several block stroll in some stilettos is welcome too - 2 blocks actually. Some shoes are being donated so if you don't have your own you will likely find some to fit. You, too, guys.
BTW I heard a rumor that Joan Van Arc may be participating, too.
The walk is at 6 PM. You can register on-line.
There's even a video on YouTube to show you how to walk in stilettos in case you can't. And this site will help you glide in stilettos.
