Jump for a lifetime supply of Manolos?
Posted on February 7th, 2008 by Shomore under Manolo Blahnik ShoesAccording to an study done by Footwear News:
37 percent of luxe shoppers reported that they would bungee jump off the Golden Gate Bridge for a lifetime supply of shoes by Manolo Blahnik. A third of women polled added that they would also walk 10 miles in order to find the perfect pair of jeans.
Would I bungee jump for lifetime supply of shoes? Heck yeah!
This got me thinking. What would be my lower limit be to entice me to jump? For me, I think that I wouldn’t do it less than 10 pairs of shoes. Why ten? I figure I need 5 pairs of shoes for the spring/summer and 5 for fall/winter to give me an adequate range of Manolos. Any less, this scaredy cat values her life a bit more than those Manolos.
Update: Nevermind, I’d do it for a pair of any of these Manolos. Apparently, I’m easily bought. Sigh.

I’d do it for one pair. Think about it — you’re talking about doing something, for gain, that others pay to do recreationally. Granted I’m not drawn to bungee jump, but given the chance to do it for free shoes and I’m falling off that bridge! Now, if only Mr. Blahnik would for some reason to decide to make this more than a theoretical discussion…

You know I don’t think Mr. Blaknik is even aware of this discussion, but I would do it so my wife could have any of the pairs of his 2008 Spring/Summer collection at his web site:

then go to collection This season
Of course he might be more likely to grant this if it was off of some British site like the Skywalk (which is dangerous enough at times just trying to walk across it much less jump off it….)
