In an interview in the May issue of Vanity Fair Magazine shoe designer Christian Louboutin boasted that his best customer, novelist Danielle Steel, owned a whopping 6,000 pairs of his famous red soled shoes. Since they average $750 per pair that is roughly 4.5 million dollars worth stilettos, peep-toed pumps, and gladiator sandals. Now this may seem like a lot of money tied up in shoes (even to me) but Danielle has sold over 580 million copies of her books since her career began back in 1973 and even if she made only one dollar per book, she is still up to her Thesaurus in disposable income. So, clearly, Danielle can afford to “ step it up” (pun intended). And if she has run out of room in her shoe rack she can always donate a few (hundred) pairs to the Needy Librarians’ Shoe Fund (NLSF).
