Do Not Leave an iPhone Charger Plugged Into a Car Outlet
"As some of you may know, we had a pretty scary incident recently. Attached are pictures of what remains of our 2007 Suburban. We are all okay but I wanted to warn everyone not to make the same mistake I did.
This fire resulted from leaving an iPhone charger/ docking station plugged into the car outlet. It overheated and started a fire, while parked in our garage. PLEASE unplug anything you have in your car outlets once you turn off your car!
We were VERY fortunate that we accidentally found the fire, at 11pm, before going to bed and before it spread to the house. None of our garage heat detectors or house fire alarms went off (another item to take care of on my TO DO list). The boys, Jonathan and I were pretty freaked out but we're all enjoying our new car at least.
Feel free to pass this along to anyone you want. Better safe than sorry."

Weird Shoes

Julian Hakes designed these fascinating shoes with no sole. The support is there, though, for the heel and ball of the foot, which forms a natural bridge between the two. In the course of designing, he had tracing paper and masking tape on his foot, drew the patterns, and then used a scalpel to cut it off.
Inverted Heel Shoes by Marc Jacobs
The Umbrella Shoes can protect your feet and shoes from rain.
Designed to look like a modern high-chair, this high-chair heels take your feet 6 inches off the ground so they sit almost vertical. It's a fashion accident waiting to happen.
These Dior shoes were worn by Marion Cotillard at the Bike In-Style challenge winner announcement and awards ceremony at the LVMH Tower Magic Room on June 2, 2009, in New York City. The price? $1600!
Maki Aminaka (Löfvander) and Marcus Wilmont (Aminaka Wilmont) introduced their sole-less shoes in London during the 2008 London fashion week With a good pedicure, anyone can carry off this look.
Bottle Opening Shoes, the perfect party shoes.
These give platform shoes a new meaning.
Origami (paper) Shoes, by designer Catherine Meuter.
What's better than shoes with a high heel? Shoes with two high heels!
Big Bird fans rejoice!
This shoe is just totally versatile with a naked lady who forms the heel of this shoe. The price? $175.
