White Boots For John McDade (Elvis Impersonator)

John McDade (Elvis Impersonator) 

 

     The following quote was pulled from aboutfacesentertainment.com. "John's show is a 70's style act covering Elvis' Vegas period and doesn't use any karoke at all. John recorded all of his music with a 6 piece band, a high voice singing trio, and some of the songs even feature a 23 person church choir; providing a very authentic sound that will drive your crowd wild! John know's how to entertain a crowd and enjoys keeping the elvis memory alive."

John pays attention to the details as an Elvis impersonator.  He's a little shorter than "The King", so he has me add a little height to the heels.

Bella Ballerina by Skechers

This was brought in today for repair.  The loop that held the strap on was broken.  We will repair the loop so she can get back to what these shoes were made for...twirling like a ballerina. The purple cirlcle at the front of the shoe is a spinning disk.  I took the information about these shoes from the Sketchers website:

Bella B. shoes are full of fun and glee, just a few steps and you're a twirling machine!

Make sure your shoes are nice and secure, and no loose objects are found on the floor

Once that is done you can get on your toes, push with your other foot, and around you go!

Make up your own style of tricks to do, and let Bella bring out the Ballerina in you

Take time to get acquainted with the shoes, practice with an adult supervising you

Use caution when spinning like a top, and if you feel like you're getting dizzy or off balance - stop!

Place your other foot to stop your spin, a little practice and you're ready to begin
