I've seen the ones at the Smithsonian, they are so cool, I want a pair of shoes just like them. I'm wearing black beaded shoes today. I wonder if heads rolled in the security dept.

The police chief said the slippers -- insured for $1 million US -- were stolen late Saturday or early Sunday. Someone entered the museum through a window and broke into the small display case holding the slippers.
Children's Discovery Museum director John Kelsch said the slippers belong to a Los Angeles man who loaned them to the museum for several weeks this summer.
The children's museum houses the Judy Garland museum, which displayed the same pair of slippers last year. Garland was born in Grand Rapids in 1922.
Four pairs of ruby slippers worn by Garland in the movie are known to exist, including one pair on display at the Smithsonian Institution. Another pair sold at Christie's auction house in 2000 for $666,000 US.

Would it be illegal profiling to round up the drag queens with small feet and do the Cindarella measuring? Because I'd bet 10 to 1 that somebody somewhere is singing over the rainbow like she never has before!
