For the shoemaker, fashion and culture have always been linked. Ferragamo began making shoes for Hollywood stars for both on and off the set throuhout in the 1920s. The shoe, after all, is perhaps the most famous of fetish objects. And if the shoe is a fetish, what could be more sexy than shoes made for legendary stars as Rita Hayworth, Audrey Hepburn, Ingrid Bergman, Ava Gardner, Katherine Hepburn, Greata Garbo, and Marlene Dietrich?
Salvatore Ferragamo, Shoemaker of Dreams --
"Normally I do not institute new fashions, there are a number of dress and shoe designers who struggle to be -different- for the sake of being different, meaning that they want to impose a startling new fashion line upon the woman. But if designers must wait for their customers to become conscious of new styles who, then, determines fashion?… the answer is: new fashion begin in the mind of the designer."
From the Golden Era of Hollywood, through the generations enriched by captivations of Jane Fonda, Raquel Welch, Ann Margaret, Farrah Fawcett, Kelly LeBrock, to the actresses, models, and socialites who garner media attention thrugh the Present Day, their shoes, feet and beauty became topic of classic debate meant to live through the ages for future generation of stars add more intrigue to the topic.
In memory of the most lengendary shoe maker of all time, the National Fashionistas pays homage to Ferragamo by presenting the winner of this contest with the newest edition of his world-famous shoes so that it sparks desires for hot women the world over to appreciate his art and contributions.
Now, Audrina Patridge and Kim Kardashian await for the experience to live out the best admirations that come from winning the National Fashionistas, donning the Ferragamo's and be crowned ...

Let's go, Audrina! Posted by Drunk_24-7 (Member # 21781) on :
Wow, I missed out on a ton of action, but what a finals! Two Absolute Beauty's in a great matchup for all the marbles. I gotta go with Kardashian. While I think Audrina is the more beautiful overall, I think Kardashian's feet are simply perfect and she has a significant advantage below the ankles as these two World Class Diva's go toe to toe for the most prestigious prize in the entire foot fetish community. I can't wait till I get some free time to go through all the separate playoff threads and see how things got to this point, but for now I just want to enjoy the final matchup for the pinnacle of perfectionism and the epic event that the season has come down to between these four flawless feet and these two luscious ladies. Excellent Work as Always by National in providing such Amazing photography, commentary and production in presenting these women with the opportunity to strut their stuff on the ultimate celebrity foot fetish stage and wage a violent and intense war on one another in order to walk away in the coveted Salvatore Ferragamo's and claim the 2010 title.
I personally voted for Miss Kardashian, but if Patridge is representing the NFC she must have gotten by Megan Fox, which means she can do anything. This should be a dandy. I'm sticking with Kardashian to experience the success of her idol Carmen Electra, take a giant step towards eventually surpassing and outshining her immortal legacy while earning a taste of the one championship far more significant and rich with glory than her boyfriend captured earlier this year. Talk about a power couple. Superbowl champion and National Femme Fashionista's Champion...move over Brad and Angelina, if Kim Kardashian can pull this thing off Brangelina will officially take a back seat to Reggie Bush or Mr Kardashian and the Goddess herself, the Beautiful and Gorgeous Miss Kimberly Kardashian.

Man, it's nice to see Drunk24_7 stopping by and leaving his great analysis. I really thought you were going to miss out on this thing. You should also check out the girls who National announced for next year's contest. Muy Caliente!
If anyone remembers the comment I made last week, I said that Audrina was going to pull the upset over Megan Fox by two votes. And she did. That match and the Kim/Marisa match came down to a couple of votes. All playoff matches should be that tight, and I'm happy to see that the matches have been this competitive. While I felt that Audrina had enough in her to get by Megan, I did not think Kim was going to get by Miller. I mean I voted for Kim, but I thought the people would give that one to Miller.
If you went by the books, it should've been Megan vs. Miller only because both were the number 1 seeds. If that match happened, I would've voted Megan even though I don't like her as a person. I would've voted for her because I think she's hotter and her feet are better than Marisa's. If Megan faced Kim, I wouldn't see how Kim would've ever gotten by Megan Fox. Megan is too strong. Speaking of her being too strong, that loss to Audrina in the last round does not mean that this is the last you'll hear from Megan. For the life of me, I do not see how this is going to be the start of the end for Megan. I expect Megan to come back next year and extract some vengeance.
For this match, although I feel that Audrina is the SLIGHT favorite to win, I'm going for Kim as well. For a few reasons. First off, I like Kim more than I do Audrina. Then there's the thing where I like her feet better than Audrina's. Besides, Kim is more popular in the general public than Audrina is. When you overhear a conversation between a group of guys, I'll bet you any amount of money that Kim's name is going to come up way before Audrina's, except if you're in LA.
Here's a big reason why I voted Kim. While I do see Audrina back in the finals at some time in the future, I can't say the same about Kim. I really feel that if Kim loses this one, then we will never see her in the finals again. It's hard to believe that Kim is almost thirty. She's at her peak already and I don't see her getting much better. With Audrina, she still has more years left in her, and with her hot body and feet, I can see her making this far again. I think Kim needs this match more than Audrina does.
By the way, AWESOME pictures of these women. They made sure they pulled out all the stops for the final match of the year. Kim as got some great pictures that were a little better than I thought she was going to bring with her, but I think Audrina is in for a long week.
My prediction is that Audrina will win (not by much), but I would much rather see Kim win it. Like Drunk24_7 said earlier: Carmen won this contest before. Kim would love to follow in her footsteps (pun intended).

Two reality tv girls doing it in the finals. What a treat we're in. Let me say that these pics are so fucking great! After looking at them, I STILL don't know who to pick. I love Audrina's first set with the closeups. Incredible, incredible outfit and footwear she has on. Her feet are just flawless. What I like about Kim's first set is that this is VINTAGE Kim Kardashian. She's in synonymous for getting pedicures. If you ask around here which celeb would you most likely find in a salon, Kim's name will come up more often than anyone else. This is a classic Kim scene and she is sticking to what she is largely known for. I give her credit for it.
In the second set of pics, it's pool time! WOW! Both women are fantastic. And I'm talking about the Kardashians. This is great stuff. I never saw that many pictures of them in that setting. I remember only seeing two or three of them, but 14? Are these pictures staged, though? Even if those women purposefully did those particular poses, it's still so fucking hot. For Audrina's, it reminds me of National saying of how she has the best bikini body. That case is just about impossible to argue against. The first pic? HELLO! She's with LC. They are so giddy and playful. Their soles are showing. Then with the rest of the pics, Audrina is incredible all around. I love the last picture. Even though her feet are not shown, it shows off her perfect body well.
Kim Kardashian KILLED Audrina in the show department pics. Kim is not here to play games. With the Special Appeals, when I saw Audrina's pictures, my reaction was:
With Kim, though she's not topless, she stays quite sexy, still. But I keep going back to Audrina's. WOW, I'm at a loss for words. Audrina saved her best show for last. If you love schoolgirls, you'll love this one.
Now, I need to decide who to vote for.
Posted by Night in Paris (Member # 34431) on :
Hey, Bitches!
Bet you thought I was gone, right? Guess what? I'm like soooooooooooooooooooooo back in this bitch. I've been like soooooooooo watching this tournament since the playoffs started. And I've seen how Audrina got by some of her opponents. That win over Megan Fox was like soooooooooooooooo uncalled for.
Remember how Audrina won her division over Paris earlier this year? That was supposed to be PARIS' division to win outright. Guess what? Now that Audrina's in the finals, I'm just gonna sit here and wait until the closing moments of this year's finals. Hopefully, my vote will give Kim Kardashian the win she sooooooooooooooo deserves. I can not think of a better girl (other than Paris) to give this win to. So if this match is still close towards the end, I could very well be the one who can give Kim the win. How do you like me know, BITCHES?!
Posted by caseman (Member # 33975) on :
This is great. With a little time, Kim is going to work her way back into the lead. She's behind by three, but I'm super confident that she'll bounce back to the lead. Her pictures are the truth and the world will know it when we crown her champion. I'm in love with her pictures. Her shoe department pictures are the best I've ever seen out of her. That's fuckin sexy, if you ask me. That's how women should dress like. I love how she's wavin the flag and how she gets out of the car.
Posted by 18th Floor (Member # 35007) on :
Okay, I've made up my mind. I'm voting for Audrina. I find Audrina's pictures to be better than Kim's. Her pictures show me just how flawless they are. And her last pictures? I couldn't find myself voting against the SEXIEST school girl EVER.
She's in much better shape than Kim. Audrina is a super package babe!
Posted by Jensen (Member # 33746) on :
This is a great set up for a fantastic season that's about to come to an end. While I voted for Audrina, I do feel that Kim is going to give her a run for her money based on how hot Kim looks in these pictures. What I love about these pictures is that they are so huge. I love pictures that can overflow the monitor of my computer. Audrina looks great with those closeups of her feet, she looks excellent in her bikini, excellent in her last photoshoot where she's topless. You can't go wrong with that combination.
I bet Carl's Jr. is cashing in BIG on their profits because both of their ad girls are featured in the grandest stage of em all. I was reading a comment on Audrina's commercial where a guy said that there must've been a stunt double eating the burgers and fries for Audrina. These girls know how to advertise and they know how to eat food. I think all girls should learn from them. They make every regular girl look like shit compared to them. And this contest is going to cash big by having to reality TV stars as their finalists.
Both women are amazing and I can't wait to see who finishes as the champion.
By the way, I love the fact that the U.S. national anthem was played before the ceremonies started. It gave us that extra feel that this is the Superbowl of foot fetish contests here at Wus. Great performance from Mariah. And hopefully an even better performance by Audrina.
Posted by Solelova05 (Member # 11076) on :
I've gotta go with Audrina. Audrina just simply has it all. She can basically pull off any color polish, and she can pull off my favorite which is non-polish. There's something about her toes that just look so succulent its ridiculous!
I have nothing against Kim, but she tends to wear too much of the french pedicure. Its like to me that its expected every time I come across a post of her feet. Don't get me wrong, I love Kim's feet. I just feel when she's put up against a woman like Audrina who can simply pull off any look in the book, its a no contest.
Its just like what 18th floor stated, Audrina is a super total package!

That's so funny and yet obviously true. That part made me laugh.

This part is even more funny and yet still true. I completely forgot that you have the Tale of the Tape when it comes to comparing the two finalists. That was classic for you to bring that part back into the contest. It gives people something extra to think about before casting their votes. You always have something to say about these women and that shows how much you care about this contest, National.
Going back to Kim. What made it stand out was the part where you mentioned she has sex with black men only. Under the circumstances surrounding Kim, that was the best way to make mention of that without having to make it sound too controversial. First off, it's absolutely true. By the way, Drunk Guy, it's great to see you again. He (Drunk) mentioned Reggie Bush. Do you know of her latest football player boyfriend, Miles Austin? Take a wild guess... he's black. I bet that 100% (if not close to 100%) of black men will vote Kim Kardashian. Foot_fashion_industry mentioned that Kim is (in general) more popular than Audrina by if you overhear a conversation between men, Kim's name will come up sooner than Audrina's. Perhaps. But I do know that among black men, Kim's name WILL come up, and I don't think too many of them even know who Audrina is. Kim appeals to blacks and the hip-hop community, just like Khole does. That girl has dated only blacks and she's currently married to one. These two have been featured on the cover of Hip-Hop Weekly magazine several times (I think I got the name of that publication right. It's a magazine that's like US Weekly or OK! magazine). Audrina is not involved with something like that. She is not mentioned in conversations that has anything to do with the hip-hop community.
I'm not black, but I'm voting for her anyways. Both women are hot with awesome feet, so you can't go wrong with whoever you vote for. For me, this is my way of getting back at Audrina for beating out Megan. Besides, the shows that the Kardashians have on E! is SO MUCH more entertaining to watch than that show on MTV. Audrina's show is so boring to watch. In Kim's show and the one her sisters have, they are entertaining as fuck. Every episode is full of photoshoots during the day, full of partying during the nights. That's how you fucking live. I'm pretty sure the Hills have those, too, but it is edited in such a way that makes it so unexciting watch. Heidi and Spencer are god-aweful annoying. But the Kardashians know how to live it up.
Kim's pictures are better than Audrina's. I feel that even though Audrina is topless in her last set, Kim looks just as amazing in photos that doesn't show anything topless.
This one's for Kim!
Posted by 18th Floor (Member # 35007) on :
Duffy is right about the Kardashians having a more "entertaining" show than the Hills. To me, the Hills have more of a soap opera feel to it. But I still voted for Audrina because I think her pictures are better than Kim's. At least Audrina shows herself topless. She likes to give us the extra treats. And I don't think Kim can pull off that school girl thing. Those outfits are not made for big booties. Those pictures are GOLD, National. So are the others from Audrina. Those closeups of her feet are amazing.
Going back to the Kardashians, here's a parody of their show.

you, sir, speak the truth. i have backed audrina since day one and have been very pleasantly surprised that she has made it to the finals but if she has to lose to anyone, i can understand it being kim as she was my favorite last year.
my highest praise to National for putting on the best tournament that he's run.. but on the hand, i am sad that tuesdays won't be the same now that i wont have a chance to vote.
hmmm.. i do have an idea tho.. National, check your inbox. Posted by DSW (Member # 35008) on :
Audrina's got is all. That woman is amazing. After looking at her pictures, the fact that she's not ahead by a million points surprises me.

You know, you're absolutely right. In the last set where she's topless, I only saw two of those pictures before. But whenever I did, it had the name of the website splashed over it. You could still see her nipples, but the name of the site across the middle annoyed the shit out of me. THis is the first time that I've seen these pictures without any disturbance. I don't know how you find these pictures, but I'm sure glad someone found them. I never saw the other pictures from that photoshoot, like when she's on top of the table. And in the last picture, the only times I've seen that picture was when it was shown from her waist up. I've never seen how the whole thing looked like. She's so seductive with her legs stretched out like that. The other thing I love about these pictures is that I've never seen them that big before. Especially the last one. FIVE THOUSAND pixels wide? Holy shit! That's how I love it. Thanks so much for making all of Audrina fans come true.
The fact that Kim is still not far behind scares me a bit. We still have a day to go and at this time, anything can still happen.
Posted by AmericanSymbol (Member # 33897) on :
Great taste to have Mariah start us off with the Star-Spangled Banner. Certainly a traditional way of getting us warmed up for the event that is the Finals Classic. Better than anyone else can sing it.
I agree with Duffy. Kim's last set of pictures look just as delicious as those Audrina has when she was topless there. Kim's pictures are done exceptionally well. I love it when she's lying down in that rug. And I love it when there was the closeup of her eyes. Very artistic. Kim know how to play the look and she knows how to play the foot game. She looks just great in her other pictures. The one where's she by the pool showing her soles. The one where she's with her sister. I mean those pictures are just excellent. They do looked staged, but Kim knows how to tease with audience. Kourtney is always nice. The fact that her sister was with her certainly helps. Her ass is bigger than what a lot of people would think, though. But since we're talking about Kim, that's okay. I love the first picture of that set: http://www.imagebam.com/image/ec5fea86413933
When I see them walk out that way, I can't help but play one of those songs in my head like you hear in the movies. You know when someone walks down the hallway with a purpose and they play some kick-ass song in the backround? That's what I think about when I see that picture. Kim has a purpose, and that's to kick Audrina's ass.
In her shoe department pics, Audrina looks so sexy in those tight jeans. But they're no match for the outfit Kim has on. No match whatsoever. The picture where she's in the car and the one of her portrait, shows that she means business. Her shoes are killer, too.
I wanted Marisa to win the whole thing, but I'll accept Kim as champion.
God Bless You, and God Bless the AFC

An awesome introduction to the finals. The words capture it perfectly and it helps remind people just a little bit of how Hollywood changed from generation to generation. The way you said it brings his work and dedication to what Ferragamo has done back to life. And it helps sell the point that each finalist is just moments away from being just as admired as those women who have entertained us in the past. Thanks for bring that up again, National.

You got a point there. While I think both women want it just as bad as the other, Kim might see this match as her last chance of making it this far. That's not to say that she'll NEVER be back here, but compared to Audrina, this might be it for her when you consider the other women who did a great job in the AFC this year and the new women who will join the contest next year. But I still voted Audrina. Those who didn't vote for her must've not looked at any of her pictures. The first set, she looks great. The closeups of her feet are perfect. You don't see pictures like these everyday on this forum. Look at Audrina in her second set. That girl is so hot, that she's giving the SUN a tan; not the other way around. I love it how she lies on her back on the floating device. Just her by herself is enough to win votes. Look at the soles of her feet in that picture with Lauren. Kim's soles does not look that perfect. They're pretty damn hot, no doubt. They're not "Audrina" hot, though. The commercials are better than Kim's. That's how a sexy girl is SUPPOSED to eat a burger. She ate the burger more sexy than Kim ate that salad. Audrina is such a hottie, I bet a stunt double DID eat that burger for her, just as someone pointed it out earlier this week.
And Audrina in that outfit? C'mon! She's behind in the votes even after showing THAT?! Please, tell me that you're kidding, right? No girl in this forum can look like that and be as seductive as that. None of them.
I hope Audrina catches up and wins this thing.
Posted by National (Member # 8568) on :
Salvatore Ferragamo was born near Naples, Italy in 1898. One of 14 children born to parents who were poor farmers, he made his first pair of shoes when he was nine years old for his sisters to have something nice to wear to their first communion. He had found his calling.
Ferragamo studied shoemaking and by the time he was 14, had opened his own shoe shop with eventually six employees working for him. In 1914, Ferragamo moved to America. His brother helped him get a job in a shoe factory in Boston, but he was disillusioned by assembly line shoemaking. He firmly believed shoes should be handmade. He moved to Hollywood and opened an atelier to create custom shoes from his original designs.
It was not long before Salvatore Ferragamo was discovered by Hollywood starlets. He made shoes for Sophia Loren, Greta Garbo, Betty Davis, Ingrid Bergman, Ava Gardner, Rita Hayworth, Marlene Dietrich, Katherine Hepburn, Audrey Hepburn, Marilyn Monroe. Ferragamo became famous as the "shoemaker to the stars" and designed the famous ruby red shoes worn by Dorothy in the Wizard of Oz.
He was dissatisfied with the comfort of shoes and so studied human anatomy at the University of Southern California to learn about the weight distribution on the bones of the foot. In the artist's own words, "I discovered that the weight of the body when we are standing erect drops straight down on the arch of the foot. I constructed my revolutionary lasts [the solid form around which a shoe is molded], which supporting the arch, make the foot act like an inverted pendulum." This may have been his greatest contribution to footwear: the secret of how to make a beautiful shoe with a comfortable fit; the perfect combination of form and function.
In 1927, Ferragamo moved back to Italy, where he founded his eponymous shoe company in Florence. By the 1950s Salvatore Ferragamo had 700 employees who produced one shoe each per day, entirely by hand. He invented the invisible sandal in 1947 and the stiletto heel in 1955, both classics in women's footwear; but his most famous invention is perhaps the "Cage Heel".
Before he died in 1960, Salvatore Ferragamo was the most influential shoemaker in human history. He said he was inspired by architecture and art. Ferragamo was a visionary artist who created over 20,000 models of shoes and held 350 patents. In the words of the artist, "Normally I do not institute new fashions. There are a number of dress and shoe designers who struggle to be different for the sake of being different, meaning that they want to impose a startling new fashion line upon the woman. But if designers must wait for their customers to become conscious of new styles who, then, determines fashion? The answer is: new fashion begins in the mind of the designer. He must not stifle all his ideas merely because the world is not yet ready for them. I have no season."
This is one of the greatest matches EVER. While I can understand why Kim is currently in the lead, I voted for Audrina. I'm with everyone who stated why they voted Audrina. Her body is so much better than Kim's. Audrina has the perfect body and her feet show that they are just as perfect. I also agree that Audrina's commercial was better. Speaking of that commercial, I also read comments left on YouTube. Here are some of them that made me laugh:
"WTH that burger isbigger than her face lol" "she probably pukedthe hell out of herself after the shootings."
Here's a comment that REALLY caught my attention. After reading this comment, look at that commercial again. He said: "in case you haven't noticed, she didn'ttake an actual bite on that burger. it switches to another scene the moment she take a bite. they just put in the crunching noises."
"no one bitesa burger andhas a completely clean face" "The Kim Kardashian one was sooooooo much better" "i would do things to that body that are illegal in most states."
To be fair, though, here are some comments on that Kim commercial.
"What salad are they talking about. I didnt see a salad" "this makes me want to eat Kim Kardashian, not salad." "who eats salad with their hands?" "why is there pink semen on that apple?" "whore"
This is getting close. I hope Audrina wins. Her pictures are great and so are her feet.

Same here. It was such a thrill to go through another season of his most fantastic celebrity foot contest. I will certainly miss this contest while it's taking its break for the rest of the year. The two finalists deserve to be where they are right now and it is going to be such a sight to see who wins and who winds up losing. To have this contest see either Kim or Audrina lose in the final match of the year makes for a dramatic story only the this contest can tell. This is like Wrestlemania. Sort of like Hulk Hogan vs Ultimate Warrior. Two monster fan favorites, but one of them has to lose. The stakes cannot get any higher than this.
I like that Sugarbaby song. A catchy song to end this contest. That video was crazy. Anyway, it has been the best thrill ride I've been on, even though my AnnaLynne got eliminated. I'll still be happy with whoever winds up winning this.

Duffy is absolutely right. I don't watch the Hills. It's more entertaining to watch paint dry. I'd much rather live the night life with the Kardashians. The sisters are hot. Even if they're taken, they must know some hot sluts. Like the girls who work for Kourtney is that DASH store. The whole crew is nuts. If I were great friends with Scott (Kourtney's husband), I'll be at his nightclub every night and all the hot girls will come my way. I bet more girls watch the Hills than men do.
I do love Audrina. Her pictures are so hot. But I like Kim better. Those pictures with her sister at that yacht was what sold me.

Kim deserves it and it was a good wake up call for anyone who underestimated her. Maybe that Paris Hilton guy was the deciding vote. If so, than what a way to get back at Audrina. I don't care how it's done. The fact is Kim is champion and the rest of 2010 belongs to her.

I agree, caseman. What a crazy margin of victory. Posted by Duffy (Member # 33742) on :
Megan Fox in the Finals Classic: 1-0 Audrina Patridge in the Finals Classic: 0-1.
That means Megan Fox is still better.

I can't believe Audrina lost. What the fuck happened? Audrina had closeups of her gorgeous feet. Audrina has a better bikini body. The soles of her feet are better than Kim's. She was topless. Kim had none of those. I can't believe it.

Bazinga.

Kim's body is bangin, her publicity stunt with her sister by the pool was hot. She played to the photographers well. Her shoe department pics were just flat out amazing and her Special Appeals pictures were nicely done. They made up for the closeups that Audrina's pictures had.
Plus, nobody watches the Hills. As hot as Audrina is, I still can't get myself to see it.
Besides, like Kim once said, "Nobody fucks with the Kardashians."

True. But considering how Audrina just lost, her win over Megan Fox means nothing now. What's a better record is how they did in the finals. Right now, Audrina has nothing to show for it. Megan Fox has one world championship to Audrina's zero.
Posted by combine_hunter (Member # 39526) on :
So because Audrina won over Megan by two votes and lost to the champ by one vote, her win over Megan means nothing.
Sorry, buddy, I don't buy that.
It does say something about the person making it, though.
Posted by Duffy (Member # 33742) on :
Her win over Megan would mean everything had she beaten Kim Kardashian to win it all. People will always remember what happened in the finals more than what happened in the semi's. Audrina had momentum going into that match against Kim because Megan was the favorite to win it. Audrina took that momentum into the finals and didn't win. To me, winning the championship means much more than winning the semi's to make the finals.
At the time, that win over Megan was big news. Now, all it is is a momentum wasted. One vote can make a world of difference. In this case, one vote has Kim on top of the world while Audrina is left in despair.

All great things must come to an end. After 267 matches, we finally have a winner having full mastery in an art that comprised of the epitome of every class that men deem of sexual appeal and arousing curiosity. Someone who is Fashionista savvy and a world-known of familiarity. Someone who is arguably the most dominating celebrity in all of Foot Fetish Hollywood over the last two years. Someone who we can call Champion.

Kim Kardashian was the first girl who I announced for the up-coming 2009 season. Of the women who I announced, Kim received the most buzz and hype. I knew that with her name added to the contest, that she was going to help me draw more interest from the men into becoming a part of the spectacle and enjoyment that was bound to flourish for the Fashionistas.
Things became even more interesting when I randomly selected Kim's name to be placed in the same division as Carmen Electra, who was the defending World Champion. What became of that, turned out to be the most talked-about rivalry in National Fashionistas history. There were other, smaller rivalries going afloat in the contest. But the Carmen/Kim saga became the first MEGA rivalry. They are also great friends, which added to the appeal of the game.
After failing in second round of the playoffs in 2009 (after losing to Carmen Electra of all people), people knew there still a lot left in Kim's tank for the following season.
Here is the look back to the season Kim Kardashian had this year.
Playoffs: Divisional Class -- Jessica Alba - WIN Class Championship -- Marisa Miller - WIN
Finals Classic -- Audrina Patridge - WIN
The win that saved her season was that win against Carmen Electra in Week 5. Had she lost that match, she would've found herself three wins behind a Carmen Electra who almost never loses a match. That win rejuvenated her spirits and that turned into a twelve-game winning streak to end the regular season.
----
Here's a direct quote from me back on September 13, 2009, when I was revealing more girls who would be in the 2010 contest. Here's what I said when I was about to unveil Audrina Patridge:
"This reality show personality has made her name in Hollywood as a costar of the MTV reality program The Hills. Her talent in acting is far above her castmates in reality, as it differs from script. She has an ability to bring happiness and charm to all those whom cross her path, she stands on firm foundation as many would crumble if being under constant attack from sick people trying to bring her down. She is a rare beauty with class and determination to fulfill her dreams.
"But having said that, Kim Kardashian has to deal with Carmen Electra was her biggest rival. The girl who I'm about to announce has specific a place of bringing down Kardashian, too (I'm not making this up). She is trying to work a deal to have her own reality show that will have her family members in it. All in an attempt to draw more viewers than ANY of the Kardashian sisters. Who can blame her? Here is Audrina Patridge...."
My Goodness, does Destiny have a strange way of making things come together in ways that they are supposed to. After making that announcement, little did I know that those very same two women would wind up seeing each other for the first time in celebrity foot contest HISTORY.
The Fashionistas was proud to present Audrina Patridge vs. Kim Kardashian in where the entire world was at stake.
Audrina drawing more viewers than Kim or her sisters? Ms Kardashian wasn't having any of that. Although the match was decided my a single vote, that difference brought joy and elation to Kim who has her arms raised high, her quest realized, her challenges overcome. That one vote left Audrina expended, breathing in loneliness. Unwilling to surrender, Audrina has been stripped of her dream.
We now go backstage to where some hot chick is standing by with Audrina Patridge:
HOT CHICK: Audrina, the scene around you is quite somber. It's quiet from your hopes and dreams of becoming champion in your rookie season being snapped. It must be tough knowing that you were THIS close from winning everything. What must be going through your head right now?
AUDRINA: (after staying quiet for a few seconds) I don't know. I'm at a loss for words. I thought I had this right where I wanted it. But Kim was the better girl this time. I congratulate her.
HOT CHICK: Any thoughts on how your first season in the Fashionistas went?
AUDRINA: It went well. Better than I thought, actually. I want to thank National for giving me the opportunity to make the best name for myself under the brightest of lights in celebrity foot fetish contests, and to all my fans who supported me from Day One. I'm trying to hold back some tears because I don't want people to see this side of me, but I love you all and I deeply apologize ... deeply apologize for not giving you the happiness you deserve.
HOT CHICK: It's okay to cry, sweetheart. At least you're the National Class Champion. That's the championship named right after this contest. Holding that title hold very high regards in it's own rights.
AUDRINA: You're right. But right now, I need to be alone, relax. When my head clears, I'll be thinking about next year. And by this time next year, it'll be Audrina -- World's Sexiest Feet.

Salvatore Ferragamo --
Salvatore is regarded as the most legendary shoemaker of all time, becoming the inspiration for other famous shoe designer to master their practice of giving the most accentuate recognition to the art and amazement of women's feet. He made shoes for movie stars such as Joan Crawford and Gloria Swanson, as well as for films such as Cecil B. DeMille's The Ten Commandments.
Ferragamo was always recognized as a visionary, and his designs ranged from the strikingly bizarre objet d'art to the traditionally elegant, often serving as the main inspiration to other footwear designers of his time and beyond.
The world's most renowned shoe artist opened up his first store in 1927 over in Florence, Italy. That place houses the company's flagship store and museum. Since then, throughout its history, the company has been known for innovative designs and use of materials. Such ingenuity goes back to Salvatore's time in California, when he studied anatomy to make shoes which were more comfortable. Notable innovations include the wedge heel, the shell-shaped sole, the ‘invisible’ sandal, metal heels and soles, the 18-carat gold sandal, the sock-shoe, sculpture heels, and the gloved arch shoe created for the Maharani of Cooch Behar in 1938.Metal-reinforced stiletto heels were made famous by Marilyn Monroe. The company is also known for the ‘Gancino’ decoration, the ‘Vara’ patent ballet pump, the Salvatore bag and the use of patchwork.
Salvatore worked with film stars and celebrities from his earliest days in Hollywood. Clients over the years included Audrey Hepburn, Sophia Loren and Greta Garbo, as well as Andy Warhol and Diana, Princess of Wales. The company made Margaret Thatcher's famous handbags and for King Jigme Khesar Namgyal Wangchuck during the coronation on November 6, 2008 in Thimpu, Bhutan.
The National Femme Fashionistas pays homage to what he means to the appreciation that embodies the female foot. The NF Fashionistas has brought his legacy to the people of this forum so they can become familiar to who he was. What better way for his work to pay off than to have the coronation of the famous femme who proved her case better than anyone else this year?
His life story and dedication in the 1920s and 1930s has been restored to the present day to give thanks to that girl who will go on the list where Marlene Dietrich's name can be found.
The coronation of Kim Kardashian is the last image we will see all year. Putting those shoes on for her was the loving thing I did for her. With photographers flashing everywhere and the world watching, it gives others the sense that foot admiration is an art form.
Kim Kardashian wears the Salvatore Ferragamo. With it, she carries the title of World's Sexiest Feet.

Kim continued the trend on how the AFC was that class that couldn't be messed with.
AFC vs NFC in 2010 Regular Season --
American Female Class won 39 matches. National Female Class won 25 matches.
This season gave us everything. The most spectacular matches. Spectacular pictures. New storylines along with old storylines that opened new chapters. Megan Fox suffered her first loss in her career to Jessica Alba back in Week 11. Marisa Miller, as the Official Symbol of the AFC, did an excellent job in carrying that responsibility and being in the lead of a class that meant business with hot women and a lot of winning.
Jennifer Aniston and Jessica Simpson were the first women in history to move from one class to another. While Simpson did worse, Aniston had a Cinderella-like season, becoming the second woman to make the playoffs after having only one win after the first four weeks of the season.
This season saw Ashley Tisdale facing Vanessa Hudgens for the first time in their lives. A season where Young Hollywood planted their presence. Along with the two girls I just mentioned, AnnaLynne McCord, Jessica Stroup, Emma Stone, and Blake Lively made the kept the contest young and fresh.
A season where the Scarlett Letters of Torment was an ongoing ordeal for Johansson. A National Class Champion in 2008, a Wild Card in 2009, became an afterthought and her love forgotten in 2010. To see someone like her go to waste the way she did was quite repelling.
A season where Megan Fox got ousted in the Class Championship by Audrina Patridge before losing to the woman who now stands in front of the world as the newest holder of the Salvatore Ferragamo's and your World's Sexiest Feet.

Thanks to everyone for making this season a historical story teller. I've been doing this long enough to know how to run it with my eyes closed! But believe me when I say that it's not an easy job being the Commissioner of the National Femme Fashionistas. As much fun as I have had with everyone, I've been waiting to take this off-season break for a while. A time for me to relax and not have to worry about looking for the following week's pictures and organizing how I want to present them.
This contest has been a dream come true for me to put together and better dream come reality to see the number of people who support and love this game. This is always a sad time for me, as there will be no more matches for the rest of the year. I always look back and remember the time when I organized the season's schedule for every girl and realized how far this season has gone along.
At the time the contest started, there were 32 women, when temperatures were 10-30 degrees Fahrenheit with snow storms being a regular occurrence. That was a long time ago.
Thanks to everyone for giving me the reason to make this contest your passion and pastime.
It is an honor to have Kim Kardashian cement her legacy by winning this contest.

The NEW season of the National Femme Fashionistas returns on February 8, 2011 and it will run through July 2, 2011.
Kim & Company will be there. And so will everyone else.

A fantastic read, National. Every week you come up with a great narrative on how the week finished. I knew that you were going to come up with something to finish out the year. This closes out what has been a great year for celebrity feet. Although my picks didn't win it, it was still a fantastic ride. I've jinxed every girl who I picked in the playoffs. I wanted Olivia Wilde and Megan Fox to face each other in the finals. Didn't happen. With Audrina left, I picked her to win. That didn't happen.
Audrina had some excellent pictures and Kim managed to find a way. That is an excellent performance from Kim. She's a very popular woman in the foot fetish community. I suppose it was Kim's time to finally win one. I hope she enjoys the champion while she has it. Because next year, I think we're going to have a new champion. I don't see her repeating it.
That Audrina interview was a great piece to add into your post, National. It's like what you see in sports when the manager of the losing team in the championship round is interviewed right outside the team's locker room while the winners are still outside celebrating with the fans. I feel for Audrina. She is one of the more lovable people in this contest and it is heart breaking to see her lose like that. If there's one girl who deserves least stress and trauma, it's Audrina.
This was my first season being a part of this contest. Thanks, National, for everything you've done for us. It has been a thrill.
By the way, I really dig your avatar. That signature is hot as well.

Charm beauty, her ability to warm hearts and love unconditionally. Acting and strong bonds with family and friends.

If someone has never heard of Audrina, those words are great to use as an introduction. The image of seeing Audrina lose in the final stages of this contest, to see her walk off the field with her head looking at the floor, not wanting to acknowledge the fans cheering Kim's victory, is one of those Kodak moments in this contest's history, whether you were rooting for her or not. To see Audrina lose in the finals is a dramatic event that can only happen in this game. For someone like Audrina to lose shows that this game is stacked with hot girls.
Audrina certainly gave a valiant effort. We'll see how she does next time. But Kim is on top of the world now.
Thanks National for giving us the time and joy of celebrating celebrity women's feet in ways that are more exciting than anything else in this forum. It was certainly worth the adventure. I'm going to miss this game a lot.

i have to laugh at Duffy for finding any way possible to justify megan's loss. i feel bad for a fan that can't accept reality.
that said, i am a little shocked that kim beat audrina, but not as shocked once i saw the scoring. i demand a recount! i smell fraud! there were hanging chads!
oh well.. time to hang up the voting for a while and wait for next season.
once again, thank you National for the entertainment.

It's nice to see Kim win it. She's already a big star in the foot fetish world. I think she deserves a championship. I voted for Kim even though I felt that Audrina was going to win it. I felt Audrina was the favorite being on how popular she was thoughout the whole year and how she won almost every match. Seeing how the match turned out, there can't be much more debate that the better woman won this match. The match was back and forth in the early goings. But when Kim finally caught up to her and retook the lead, that's how it stayed. I guess the people really felt that Kim deserved it more than Audrina. Almost every match in the playoffs this year was pretty close, so it was no surprise to see this one being close as well. And let me tell you, had there been 85 voters, instead of 115, there would've been some heated debate as to whether their girl would've won had there been at least an extra 15 voters. But the fact that we had MORE voters this time than at any other time, shows that Kim can fight through.
I'm one of those who feels that Kim won't finish next year as champion. I still feel that Audrina, being a few years younger than Kim, has a better chance of making the finals than Kim does. You also have to consider that the competition has been getting tougher over the years. For the first two years, we had a good idea of who the top four or five were. But this year was so much better because there were NUMEROUS women who were going well enough to win the whole thing, especially in the AFC. In the AFC, the difference between the 1 seed and the 6th seed was two wins. Just two. It could've been any one of those girl's tournament.
I was also reading comments from Duffy and Combine_Hunter. I will have to say that I'm more on Duffy's side than I am on Combine's side. Yeah, Audrina was better than Megan in that one match they had, and it certainly gives you some bragging rights, even more so since those two won't see each other until next year. But that argument, in general, does not say a whole lot, especially now that Audrina lost in the finals. I agree with Duffy that if Audrina won, then people would be talking about that win over Megan even more. Now, people are talking about Kim, less about Audrina, even LESS about Megan. I also agree that winning the entire thing is so much more significant than just winning a match that advances you further in the tournament, even if that match was the semi's. I mean, the goal is to win the whole thing and Audrina didn't do it.
Earlier in the year, Jessica Alba defeated Megan Fox after she went undefeated for a year and a half. That win was treated as if she won the championship. What happened to Alba? She didn't even make it to the semis. That win over Megan now means nothing (or very little) to Jessica Alba because Alba is the Peyton Manning of this contest in that she has a FANTASTIC regular season, but she's anything but fantastic in the playoffs. With that elimination from the playoffs, Alba was forgotten, and so the memory of that victory over Megan doesn't carry so much weight anymore.
An analogy: If you're somewhat into basketball, you'll remember last year in the playoffs how LeBron James hit a shot from half court at the last second of the game to help his team win. EVERYBODY was talking about it for the next couple of days, thinking that that one moment can spark the team and go on to win the NBA championship. What happened? His team went on to lose that series and NO ONE was talking about the shot heard around the world. It was as if it never happened. Because it became all meaningless.
Audrina's win over Megan Fox was the best thing that happened to her this year. Not that she won the world championship.
This has been a great year for the contest and thanks so much for giving us so much fun and enjoyment throughout the season.
