I think there may be more, but I'm losing the will to live. I clearly need to change my name to Imelda Marcos. Or maybe I just need one of those shoe-closets from the film "Overboard". Where's Kurt Russell when you need him...?
Edit: These beauties are my latest purchase, number 7 on the list:
And, for Kate and Foxy, here are the shoes I wear when I absolutely have to have golden birdies fluttering around my ankles:
Gee whizz, I love shoes. Love love love 'em.
What one year of your life would you like to re-live, if you were given the chance?
Submitted by Ross.
Well, certainly not this one. Today has been entirely crappy. But if I had to re-live a day, I would like it to be one of the days when I was given free cake.
What is your favorite greasy spoon?
Submitted by S@ngarang.
It has to be Bethnal Green Road's very own E Pellicci:
It's beautiful inside, there are pictures of EastEnders actors everywhere you look, and it's been run by the same lovely Italian family since Edwardian times. They always call me "young lady" when I go in, which makes me feel happy.
I was rehearsing in the area about 4 years ago, and I'd go in every morning for a cup of coffee (and maybe one of their splendid fry-ups - with bubble, naturally - if I was particularly hungover). One morning I showed up with a load of circus equipment - hoops, clubs, ribbons, my diabolo. I sat down and ordered a cappuccino.
It showed up with a diabolo painstakingly drawn on the foam in cocoa powder. Brilliant.

Hmmm. Seemingly I'm going to do something terrible which will - despite my profuse apologies - completely alienate my boyfriend. I will feel very upset about this. Maddened with grief, I will get into trouble with the police - perhaps something to do with stealing a rare flower? - but will escape over a bridge that is inconveniently located away from the Northern Line and any useful bus routes. As I walk home, I will pop into a synagogue on a whim. Despite the spiritual guidance I receive there, I will still feel depressed. Still wanted by the police, I will check into a Travelodge under an assumed name and spend the rest of my days waiting tables at a Little Chef.
Oh good.
Who was your first celebrity crush?
Submitted by Glory.
I have yet to actually crush a celebrity, but I did once barge into Jeremy Vine at a gig. He is very tall, so I doubt that I caused him much pain.
If I was able to really crush a celebrity, my choice would be decided by sticking a pin at random into a copy of Heat magazine. The celebrity in question (in all likelihood it would be either Sienna Miller or Jade Goody or, in an ideal world, both) would then be slowly crushed into an oozing red paste beneath the wheels of a steamroller. I'd sell tickets, and the proceeds would go to Comic Relief.
