Rick London, founder and designer of "
Shoes That Amuse" makers of the world's only
love quote shoes that also feature graphics of the famous people who said them
made an announcement today regarding Valentines Day.
"I put in my 'to do list' today to design a shoe including St. Valentine and one of his famous quotes. I did some research to find out there were allegedly three St. Valentines and there was not a love quote to be found from any one of the three."
So I thought to myself, "If there had been a holiday, when any of the there were alive commemorating him, what would it say?"
London says the answer came to him immediately "Happy Me Day". So he designed a pair
of women's funky shoes (which U.S. Keds manufactures), including a graphic of one of
the three St. Valentines (when he was a child) and a quote (which is one London made up) on each quarter panel "Happy Me Day".
The rest of his shoe line have actual historical accurate quotes and pictures of the famous poets, writers, or philosophers who said them.
But London says, "This one was just too much fun. What better way to say 'Happy
Valentines Day' than a pair of shoes with St. Valentine saying 'Happy Me Day'? Now
that's walking the walk of love."
