Early in my blogging days I did a survey of my readers to find the size of their shoe collections.<br /><br />From memory:<br /><br />Guys averaged at around 5 pairs each (including boots and trainers).<br /><br />Women averaged at around 30 with some having over 200 pairs!Rock Chefhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11259561583833857901noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3154204376346679777.post-12641301192800923722012-08-28T04:22:49.701-04:002012-08-28T04:22:49.701-04:00An amazing blog Shammickite!

I was fascinated with the statues of all the first ladies and their clothes, and it seemed like long ago the women were much smaller, shorter, and began to gain height through the years. The shoes you show in your photos are lots of fun. I like the ones worn by Queen Victoria.
