Kapinny asked me to post this.
One for the locals. International readers, just talk amongst yourselves for a bit.

Shoe fetishists won’t want to miss the Cinderella Complex, a huge one day shoe sale this Sunday 18 November, 9 am to 4 pm, at the Rose Street Artists’ Market. Donated shoes of every description; new, display stock and ‘good as new’, will be on offer in support of the Scaffidi Foundation.
The Scaffidi Foundation provides support for families with cancer, and was founded in the memory of Norina and Cathy Scaffidi. This mother and daughter were two beautiful women who dedicated their lives to helping others, and who succumbed to breast cancer in 1998 and 2002 respectively. The foundation hopes to build a retreat for families to visit in their time of greatest need.
The Cinderella Complex is itself a fundraiser for The Big Walk, during which two intrepid supporters of the Scaffidi Foundation will walk an impressive 740 kilometres. Clare Whitney, 35, and Richard Herr, 50, will travel from Mornington to Canberra, raising funds and support for the foundation. They have both started an eight month training program in preparation for the walk, which they expect to take just over a month.
The Rose Street Artists’ Market is at 60 Rose Street, Fitzroy, between Brunswick and Nicholson Streets, and normally opens from 11 am to 5 pm every Saturday.
