Blog: Open Toe Shoe Party @ Shade

Shade Hotel was the scene of the Open Toe Shoe Party fundraiser this past Sunday afternoon.

Attendees came out in support of Dr. Mark Borchat and his research for Optic Nerve Hypoplasia and there have never been so many well-shod feet in one place!

Guests put their best foot forward—oh, you didn't think we'd get through this without a few well-placed puns, did you?—with creative pedicures and a stunning array of footwear.

The event featured a contest for fiercest feet.

The competitors cooled their heels waiting for the contest to begin by bidding on auction items, nibbling hors d'oeuvres and sipping colorful mimosas.

Contestants were kept on their toes with a tough field of contenders and discerning panel of judges. Scoring was based on grooming, style and attitude. 

Andrea Zislis,the host of the event, was our guest on The South Bay Show last week. She told us about the cause and how she became involved with the One Small Voice Foundation. You can listen to it here.
