August 20, 2012 in Events by Bernd Ruhl

Shoeholics Magazine was a proud sponsor of Hot Stiletto’s 2nd annual party soiree on August 19, 2012 at Simpson House in Kansas City, MO, USA where some lucky guests were also gifted autographed copies of the international best selling The Shoeholic hardcover book. This signature event featured a full evening of music, dancing, cocktails, hors d’oeuvres, and shoe-gazing; not to mention, a chance to compete for title of Best-in-Shoe in a pink carpet “stiletto strut-off” presided over by a panel of fashion socialites, and industry experts. The event brought notoriety to local shoe stores and also promoted networking among fashion industry professionals including retail buyers, fashion journalists, trendsetters, tastemakers and consumers. Shoe lovers, fashion fanatics, and those in support of women in Domestic Violence Shelters, came out in full force to support this fantastic evening of footwear and fun! Also in attendance was Kansas City’s local news station KCTV 5. The founder of Hot Stiletto, Vicki Kelley and the host of the event, Sean Tyler, had an on air interview with Bonyen Lee the morning of the event. Channel 5 also came out that evening and aired footage from the event.

Hot Stiletto is a social club for women with a mission to build a strong sisterhood of women through their love of shoes, while striving to inspire, support, uplift, and encourage one stiletto step at a time! It’s all about having fun, meeting other shoe lovers, and checking out the latest footwear fashions… not to mention, excellent justification for lots of shoe shopping! Not only do they support admiration for shoe craftsmanship, they also provide opportunities for philanthropic growth as some of the proceeds of the events were donated to charity.

Hot Stiletto has a charity volunteer division called “Heels Can Heal!” This group of women have a special place in their hearts to support breaking the cycle of domestic violence against women. The way we see it, it doesn’t matter if you have or have not personally experienced domestic violence, we as women still have an obligation to help each other when we can, after all we are our sister’s keeper!

We look forward to sponsoring and supporting many more events and philanthropic work like this. It was a pleasure being for us to be a part of it. As much as we love shoes, it is always important to stop and help others less fortunate no matter how small.

Happy shoe loving everyone!
