Shoes and Elephants: what's not to like?


Now we know The Kipstar and all her friends (that means you, dear reader) LOVES shoes.

And The Kipstar also knows that you are good people who will be delighted to celebrate Christian Louboutin’s foray into saving the planet, one high heeled footstep at a time.

Christian (god bless his red soles) has created a special pink zippered Rodita sandal (price – eeek - $895). Only 50 pairs have been made and all proceeds go to the Golden Triangle Asian Elephant Foundation which helps stop the cruel practice of using elephants as tourist attractions on the urban streets of Thailand.

Now I am not suggesting you rush out to actually buy these special edition shoes, (but you can if you want) but some people will only think about other living creatures when they also get something for themselves.

Of course if you don’t have $895 lying around the house, or the ability to carry off a pink zippered platform sandal, you can always gather a few pennies and give them as a donation to the Golden Triangle Elephant Foundation.
