Name That Shoe!
April 14th, 2009 by admin
I love me some Ellen Degeneres. The Ellen Show is become somewhat of an obsession for me, and all daytime television viewers, as she dances and jokes and overall makes you want to laugh out loud until you pee your pants. Seriously though, she is that funny.
And so, I steal a fabulous Ellen Show game “Mystery Word” and remake it Barefoot Tess style. When Ellen plays, she tries to get her talk show guests to utter a random predetermined word, such as “mushroom,” and if they do – the audience members win a fabulous prize (usually an expensive piece of hand-held technology or something equally enticing). To see how it works, check out this hilarious Mystery Word attempt.
In the Barefoot Tess version, the game is just as fun but the rules are a little different and the prizes are much less costly. Welcome to… NAME THAT SHOE!
This game is quite simple, quite fun, and quite lucrative. Like Ellen, I have a predetermined word – the name of a Barefoot Tess shoe – which I am trying to get you to guess. In order to figure out which of the vast assortment of fabulous shoes at BarefootTess.com that I have chosen, you must stay tuned to Blogging Barefoot for continuous clues. The longer the mystery goes unsolved, the more clues I will give you. You are allowed to guess as many times as you wish, by commenting on this entry. The first person to guess the magic shoe will receive the grand prize – $50 off coupon at BarefootTess.com!
Let’s begin. To get you started, here are three clues about this week’s Magic Shoe:
Clues:
1) They’re fluent in Portuguese
2) Any attractive male will be all over these shoes
3) Goes well with earl grey, green, or chamomile beverages.
Happy guessing and good luck!

Corso Como “Maurice” sandal? Brazilian company, style named after a man, and it has a “T”-strap!
Even though “Maurice” totally reminds me of Belle’s father in “Beauty and the Beast.” Oh well, smart is sexy.
