Warholabilia Shoes Up For Auction

On June 22, Christies will be auctioning off some of Andy Warhol's shoes. (Oh, if only I had a million dollars or two or three!)

The items, included in a sale of celebrity memorabilia announced by Christie's on Monday, were culled from gifts that Warhol bestowed on Jeffrey Warhola and his other nephews when they visited their famous uncle from the late 1960s until his death in 1987.

Pre-sale estimates are as low as $600 for the belongings of the Pop Art icon, whose subjects included Marilyn Monroe, Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis and the famed red-and-white soup can.

The market for Warhols has been especially hot in recent years, with his art works regularly selling for several million dollars.

The auction, set for June 22 in New York, features his clothing, roller skates, cowboy boots, sunglasses and neckties.

This lot includes 2 pairs of his cowboy boots. Check out and bid here.

This second lot also includes two pairs of coyboy boots. I like these green ones. Bid Here!

Wow! This pair is paint spattered. (Bid here!) I would love to have these. They are Ferragamo.

What I do is kick them in the pants with a diamond buckled shoe!

Renter's floors

I am a renter. I do not own my living quarters, so I do not own the floors. There is a temptation with non-ownership to not take care of the floor as we might with floors we own. Not long after I moved in to my apartment my landlord came by and did not want to walk through my apartment because his shoes were dirty. Being found then still in my BSO* days, I showed no objection to the dirty shoes on the floor, because the floors belong to him, not to me. Since then he has felt free to walk across the floors with his shoes on at pretty much any time. I gave him license, so why not? It has since started to bother me, but I am moving next week and now is not the time to make an issue of it.

How does a renter handle the situation of the landlord walking through the apartment or house with their shoes on? This is a question that I would like to pose for the readers here.

There is another problem with the above situation, however. I was far too ready to disregard what happened to the floor because ultimately it wasn't mine. I was not being a good steward of the things entrusted to me in that situation. We really do not ever own any material possession. The earth is the Lord's and all it contains. It all belongs to God and He grants us stewardship of property regardless of whose name is on the deed. I think that taking care of what we own is a good way to show appreciation for the things God has given to us. I do not do a good job in this area, but I will start by trying to take care of my floors. Help me be a good steward and take your shoes off at my door. I would appreciate it.

Hayfever

Hayfever season is going to be here soon.

If you or others in your family suffer from Hayfever, one of the things you can do to reduce the suffering is to remove your shoes at the door and ask family and friends to remove their shoes.

If you keep your shoes on, you are going to bring pollen into the house and eithre rub it into the carpet, or if you do not have a carpet, allow it to collect in corners of your house.
