(note: from this entry onwards, i will no longer use Verdana, smallest. so, u dont need to squint ur eyes to enjoy laugh at my nonsense..! but then again, my entries will be slightly lengthy than usual (hihi.. kengkonon mcm byk sgt la idea tu! thank u for bearing with me..)

being on MC, i've spent my evening bloghopping resting. anywaaaaay, while resting, i got to catch up on my friend from Uni's blog, and we happen to share a common addiction (due to her request, i cant disclose her name / blog address. as much as i want to link her blog to mine, i just cant. so, babe, no worries! *wink*).

and from her blog,i found out about this super amazing-invention #1:

the Shoe Wheel! (Pix courtesy of Rakku Designs)

Taken from Rakku Designs: "The Shoe Wheel is the brainchild of designer Danilo Torro, who formed a Hong Kong based company manufacturing private label fashion collections for Latin American and U.S. customers. After 13 years in the garment business, he eagerly sought to create his own product that would be free from the capricious nature of the apparel industry. A few years ago, upon moving into a new apartment in Hong Kong, Torro--a former manufacturing engineer for McDonnell Douglas--got tired of having no storage alternative but to pile up his family's shoes in the corner of their spare bedroom. Seeking a better way to organize their shoes, he came up with a brilliant idea to design a storage system that would simply make their life easier. This creative challenge fostered a four-year passion to develop the Shoe Wheel. Paying homage to the Shoe Wheel's Asian Roots, Torro and his wife and partner, Lori Quon, named their company "Rakku," meaning "rack" in Japanese."

that's not my closet. there's not a single thread in the shade of pink in my dark wardrobe. (Pix courtesy of Rakku Designs)

cool ay? retailing at [Malaysian Ringgit]299, i certainly think that it's a great way to organise your shoes. comes in 4 different colours, this invention isn't only for women shoe-holics. they've also created Shoe Pod for men, and Rakkido for Kids. so, no more headaches, especially for families with a whole load of shoes! check out urself at Rakku Designs.
p/s: i can already imagine mr. son and ms. daughter fighting over who gets to push the wheel IF i were to have it @ home *sigh*

from ShoeBlog, i found this super-amazing invention #2:
and there's not a single pair of pink shoes in my cabinet. (Pix courtesy of The Heel Shield)

taken from The Heel Shield: "A new pair of expensive, high-heel designer shoes inspired the creation of the The Heel Shield. On the first wearing a pair of yellow designer shoes were ruined while driving to a special function. Even dyeing the shoes couldn't cover up the scuff mark. Shoe protection has always been an issue for drivers. In fact, numerous inventors over the years have developed different shoe protection and floor mat devices to keep drivers from scuffing their shoes. However, none of the other models of shoe protection products have been easy to use, work for men and women’s shoes, boots and athletic shoes and been effective until now. The Heel Shield will protect most of your shoes easily - slip it on prior to driving and slip it off prior to exiting your car."

for a shoe-addict (who is obviously in LURVE with shoes) who drives everyday, this invention comes in handy, rite? comes in few options of colours, this item can be ordered here. im not sure whether it's reachable here in Malaysia. since im enjoying my 2-day of MC since im addicted to shoes, i'll do more research on it.

(special note to my friend from Uni: babe, im soo green with envy with ur globe-trotting-work. can i submit my CV to ur HR?? hihihihi)
