Shoe Addict – weekend high!

Shoe addiction is a state of periodic or chronic intoxication produced by the repeated purchase of shoes (pumps, flats, sandals, mules, stilletos, etc). Its characteristics include: (i) an overpowering desire or need (compulsion) to continue buying shoes and to obtain them by any means; (ii) a tendency to increase the purchase; (iii) a psychic (psychological) and generally an overwhelming dependence on the effects of the shoes; and (iv) wow-factor effects on the individual and on society.*

Yes, shoe addiction is a lifetime affliction, ask Imelda Marcos. Or this mother-daughter team. It is widely considered a pathological state. Other influences may be genetic, and in some cases, peer pressure.

Rehab is not an option. You'll only find yourself in rounds of recurring relapse. No treatment is available. There is no local chapter of Shoes Anonymous, either.

Just give in and feed your addiction. Get high on fabulous imported brands like Nine West, Anne Klein, Kenneth Cole, BCBG, Moda Spana, Naturalizer, and more – this weekend - August 8-10, 9am to 5pm and by appointment daily from thereon. Join the mailing list and get invited to monthly sessions featuring the latest arrivals of uppers or stimulants.

Warning: you better not report their illegally indulgent operations to the authorities, er, your husband pala. Unless he's willing to pay for the epektus.
