National Fashionistas -- Week 11. The Contest and Passion to Famous Feet.
Salvatore Ferragamo developed a passion for the craft of shoe-making. His love for feminine feet and his care for dressing the hottest pair into his quite expensive models of shoes is the inspiration behind the legacy of this contest.
The visionary himself became the decadent commodity for the actresses through the Golden Era of Hollywood such as Greta Garbo, Rita Hayworth, Marlene Dietrich. His link to those stars is the reason he is God for anyone wanting to follow in his path. Steve Madden, Jimmy Choo, Christian LouBoutin are the modern-day eras of what Salvatore was way back when. They all give thanks to him.
This contest continues in Salvatore's passion to go on a season long search to see who will don the newest edition of the most coveted shoes that is the foundation of the business. If he were still alive today, which one girl would he make his shoes for? Together, we will find that answer.

I don't have the accounts of all of the women in this contest either because she doesn't have one or because the last time the girl tweeted something, it was a long time ago. Nonetheless, as this is about the experience with our famous women, let's get to know what their daily errands are and what's currently running through their minds.
My goodness!!! These pictures and videos just faded off of my monitor screen and burned into my soul!!!
For one thing, I've never seen Jennifer's legs look THIS good.
I don't even know where to start because I've never seen an assortment of pictures like these all bunched up in one place. When it comes to celeb feet, you are truly in a league of your own, and I don't care what he says, what she says, what they say or what it says.
Holy fuck look at CANDICE!!!! ARE YOU KIDDING ME?!?!?!?!?!?! I'm in heaven because this is what dreams girls are supposed to look like in real life. Her feet are so hot, it's unreal. I mean just look at the rest of her body for Christ's sake. Her friends are ... delicious. I like the one in the end, too, Miranda. Girls that sweet have feet that taste just as sweet and smell just as sweet.
And Ashley .... Jesus Christ.....
And what about Megan? Man, if I get rejected from Heaven, I want Megan to be my maker down below. WOW!!! Mendes has no shot. When I saw Megan getting out of the car, I knew it was over for Eva.

^^^ Yeah, what he said.
It's going to take more than one post to really thank you for all the hard work you put into to make this as awesome as it truly is. There is so much going on in here that words can't begin to explain just amazing all of this is.
I swear, you're treating us like spoiled children getting more spoiled. Not that there's anything wrong with that because I really love this contest and the fact that it makes the topics of discussion famous feet completely worthwhile (finally!).
Thanks for brining all of this to us. All of this is just beautiful.

I know. I don't see the point in going anywhere else to discuss these famous women and their feet. This is the one place where everything comes together because it shows the best pictures and the video contents are great to watch and enjoy. All the girls are here and it's just all here to have a great debate and to get to stimulate yourself from time to time.
Victoria Justice is just unstoppable. That is a playoff contender right there. Unfortunately, I can't say that with the same conviction for AnnaLynne. She's hanging on to all the hope that's left. Hopefully Megan can take care of her. And doesn't Megan look like someone who knows what she's up to or what. Her feet are just excellent with the shoes she has on. It looks like they were made just for her. But what a tough match that will be. To image that in actuality you can get to choose between Mendes and Fox to have your way with their feet with is something that not a lot of foot fetishists can answer the question easily to.
I love the Tisdale clip because it shows her soles and I found it quite hilarious (in a cute way) that the clip went in slow motion to repeat what we just saw.
Is it me, or had Joanna Krupa had a number of touch matches in a row while Marisa has had some easy matches (except for last week)? If there's anyone other than Miller who can put a stop to Joanna, it's Stacy. I was hoping to see Joanna vs. Kim after watching the clip National showed us last week. Marisa is guaranteed another win while Joanna's match will be a nail biter.
The first match I got myself off to this week was the Kelly Brook-Katrina Bowden match. For a match that's between two women with bad records, I found it very hard to make a choice on. But I went with Brook ultimately Her soles are HOT!
And for their clips? Well, the scenes speak for themselves. Loved it!

How in God's name do you do it man? You're bad for my Health!!!! Jeez, those Kelly Brook pictures, her video, Kim Kardashian's pictures, Megan Fox, Joanna Krupa, McPhee, you name it, all hot goddesses!!!
If you were the boyfriend of one of these girls, how would cope with that? Thank you dear god for not making me queer!
Candice Swanepoel ..... well, its official. She has catapulted into my top five with her pictures.
You know how your jaw drops when you see hot girls in hot pictures with clear feet shots? Yup, I'm speaking for all of us.
Awesome post, National - Truly you are!!!! THE MAN when it comes to celebrity feet!

I know, it seems that way to me, too. Every week there's a big adventure for Joanna. But she somehow manages to get through to stay right behind Miller in that division race. This is great news because when she faces Miller in the rematch later this season, Joanna will find a way to get through to her, too. This match is important to both Stacy and Joanna. A loss will put Joanna in the wild card chase (a race that a lot of other girls are in and any two of them can get those two spots), while for Stacy it makes her chances of making the playoffs not so good. But luckily for her, Kim and Carmen have tough matches as well. It also seems to me that when Stacy has a touch match, Carmen and Kim have tough matches as well.
No one catches a break in this contest which makes it so compelling and so intriguing.

Kelly Brook is looking like the girl we've been missing from the beginning. She's making her matches more interesting for someone who's holding the record she has. But let me tell you, Katrina Bowden is making that match against Kelly interesting. It's like "WOW! Am I really seeing this right now?" Happy she finally got into a bikini, she looks great.

I agree. However, I went with Bowden. If you see the clip with her on her knees, looking for something on the floor, I bet none of us were looking at her ass.

This is just part of the reason why this is the true definition of a celebrity contest. And later, I'm going to quote National on something he said last week that I feel is the sole purpose for why this game stands out from above any other competition out there.
But the description of the shoes -- the maker, what materials the shoes are made of, how tall the heels are, etc., -- is what brings out how celeb contests are done with great taste and style. This idea (along with the entire contest itself) if just genius. It's a great thing you added this concept into the contest because when you look at the pictures of just the shoes in these different angles (the insides and the bottoms of the shoes, especially), it makes you feel that you're THAT much closer to the feet of the women wearing those shoes. And other people have mentioned it, but it's worth repeating, that you can just smell the leather from these shoes. I'd like to add that you can also smell the lotion and other foot care products that they put on their feet.
A match I thought would come much later in the season is the Audrina-Katy rematch. This match (I feels) means more to Katy than it does to Audrina. Not saying that it means nothing to Audrina because Victoria Justice is still in the picture. But if Katy loses, she can almost kiss her chances of making the playoffs goodbye. But I voted for Katy this week. I hope she's the "People's Choice" this week.
Looking at Katy's pictures, let's just say that I've got an award for her. She looks very glamorous this week. But can she sing? That doesn't matter because the better question is if she has hotter feet than Audrina? I'm always back and forth with these two, but this week I've got Katy.
Posted by DSW (Member # 35008) on :
What did I say about Carrie Underwood over the last few weeks? Her signature pose is having her big toes pointing upwards in most of her pictures. For some reason I find that SO SEXY and a HUGE turn on. Another group of pictures that makes this week something to remember.
And I just LOVE Candice's last picture in her set. Just love how the picture shoes her feet and then it makes your eyes go up to see how silky white smooth the rest of her legs are. I agree with what Duffy said about her. I mean, my god, it doesn't get much better than that. The NFC is the perfect place for Candice to stay in. With pictures like that, she's ready for the playoffs. No. Doubt. About it. I bet her feet taste like caramel. Holy cow!!!

Posted by foot_fashion_industry (Member # 33265) on :
Sorry that I missed voting last week's matches. A couple of guys in here talked about how it seems like Krupa has been getting into tough matches as of late. Man, I feel the same way about Alba. National has really toughen up on Alba this year. I checked last week's results just to see what I missed. I'm glad she plowed through Jessica Szohr, but I was disappointed again to see her lose when it happened the week before.
Now, Alba has Kardashian to face. The good news is that Jessica Alba defeated Kim Kardashian when they met last year. The bad news, this is a totally different year. National has said it many times and the facts speak for themselves: this year, parity is taking over. This contest is in it's fourth year (I think) and I cannot remember things being this tight before. Carmen's losing, Kim's losing, Tisdale's winning, Longoria is up and down. Parity is good for National's contest and I'm winning to bet that he's smiling about this because this is good for business.
Years ago in this contest, it was by this time that the division leaders will be WAY far ahead of whoever's in second place. Now, it seems like anyone can win which ever division (except for Szohr and girls like her).
I keep telling Augustine this, and I'll have to repeat it: Jessica Alba is making her big comeback. The thing that disgusts me this week is that even though I almost NEVER voted for Carmen, I HAVE to do it this week because I have to protect Alba. After I voted for Carmen, I had to throw up. But if I have to vote for her to keep Alba's season alive, then that's what I have to do.
Another thing that was interesting last week was the war between PanAm and Jensen. PanAm loves Marisa, Jensen loves Krupa. Not a big fan of either one, but I will have to say that Marisa is overrated. If Joanna can beat her in their rematch, I would be SO FUCKING HAPPY. Other than Olivia, Marisa is another one I can't stand. And her feet are in the way, too.
I'm not in a good mood this week unless Alba wins and Olivia loses her match. Anyone who comes in here and talks about Alba being overrated, then bring it on.
In other news, I voted for Katy, too. Remember, she is my pick to win the NFC and represent that class in the finals.

Dude, I swear I ask myself the same question. I cannot begin to imagine how much time he dedicates himself into making this contest the best place to go for celebrity feet. Not only that, the schedule making must be a pain in the ass to pull off.

quote:Originally posted by caseman: Candice Swanepoel ..... well, its official. She has catapulted into my top five with her pictures.
I think she's catapulted into my top 2, right behind Megan. I liked her a little when the season started. And as the year went on, she started growing on me. And while she was growing on me, my erection was growing larger. And now, after seeing the pictures this week, I'm sold. There is nothing bad I can ever say about her. The only time I'm against her is when she's against Megan. But when voting against Candice in favor of Megan, it was business and never personal.
I want to thank National for opening my eyes to the wonderful Candice. DSW is right, her feet probably does taste like caramel.
I mean look at her closeups. If she was standing in front of you with her legs posed like the way she is in the last picture, daring you to have your way with them, I dare you to decline the offer.
Is anyone paying attention to what a win would mean for Jessica Lowndes? She's the only one in her division this week with an easy match.
Posted by footcenter (Member # 34062) on :
I think it's an injustice not to be in justice. You have turned my week completely inside out with how incredibly nice Victoria's feet look this week. I'm addicted to this thread and Victoria is my main love interest. With her legs and feet, she is turning into the complete package.
Thanks a lot.

As you know, this contest is in recognition of Salvatore Ferragamo. The legendary shoemaker made countless custom pairs for many stars of the Silent- and Golden Eras of Hollywood.
It's rare that I take the time to look back at the starlets who paved the way for the women of generations that soon followed. But every once in a while, I like to slow the pace down a bit and have the people reflect back on a time when things were still very tough, yet very simple. Every once in a while I think it's a good idea to give a history lesson on what it means for me and for this contest to be the essential foot celebrity fantasy league when it comes to restoring and replenishing History and give thanks to the women who became the foundations of stardom.
For this episode, I want to talk about Greta Garbo. Greta Garbo is arguably the quintessential embodiment of the Hollywood star system. Her beautiful, glamorous, Sphinx-like image captivated American and European viewers of both the silent screen of the 20s and sound films of the 30s. Garbo's personal decision to leave her film career in 1941 and maintain a notoriously private, reclusive lifestyle has only further enhanced her mystique.
----
Milan's always been a destination for the fashion set — last year it presented a new draw for an audience craving fashion nostalgia from a timelessly stylish era. "Greta Garbo: The Mystery of Style," an exhibit by Salvatore Ferragamo, showcased the silent film star's never-before-seen collection of Ferragamo footwear and other designer pieces. The exhibit opened during Milan Fashion Week and was open to the public until April 4 at the design museum La Triennale di Milano.
The famously private Garbo formed a friendship with Ferragamo in the 1940s after she requested he make her a pair of heels that were both stylish and comfortable. The talented shoemaker created 70 pairs of similarly designed shoes in varying shades for the actress. Among the shoes in Garbo's Ferragamo collection is a pair of sandals with a small round heel, velvet ballerina evening slippers, and lace-ups with a slightly raised toe. Ferragamo created special footwear that Garbo was the first to slip on: one with a stitchless upper soft toe and simple clasp.
Aside from Garbo's large collection of Ferragamo shoes, museum director Stefania Ricci has culled Garbo's wardrobe — a myriad of dresses, hats, scarves and pants — with the help of a family member who kept them well preserved. Costumes from Garbo's films, such as Queen Christina and Inspiration, were also be on display. Valentina, Pucci, and Givenchy were all represented, as was Louis Vuitton, with a set of suitcases — one of which Garbo used solely to hold her shoes.
In addition to designer pieces and memorabilia, the exhibit also displayed pictures of Garbo herself, including a passport photo. Critics declared Garbo's wildly penetrating face as "the platonic idea of the human creature."
A quick glance through the collection reveals Ferragamo as an innovator in handmade footwear. Throughout his career, his approach to shoes attracted affluent and influential women as faithful clients. This collection was a reflection of a time when fashion merged with the elegance of the Golden Age.
**This clip does not show any foot-related content, but it does show highlights from the event that celebrated the life of Greta Garbo. It looks like a party Kate Beckinsale would attend.**

Those pictures are hot. Especially the closeups. I don't think any other girl in this contest does that. She should sue for copyright infringement if she catches anyone else use that trait. By the way, let it be known that Carrie Underwood will be a HERO to all of us this week for beating Emmanuelle Chriqui. It was completely unfair that someone like her can beat a such an innocent girl like Candice. Yes, Candice was robbed last week. And now, Carrie Underwood is going to take care of the business that should've been taken care of last week. These Carrie pictures give the perfect example to why she deserves to have a better record than she does now. I want Carrie's feet all over my face.
Audrina is looking pretty damn good this week. Her feet are just as hot as anyone's out there. Anyone who says otherwise is a liar. That match against Katy is tough. But I voted Audrina. Her shoes are sexier, in my opinion.
quote:Originally posted by DSW: She looks very glamorous this week. But can she sing?
Thankfully, Katy has other oral talents.
The Kelly Brook match is something of a vacation for me. Looking at the pictures, is like a foot fetish guy dream come true. In Katrina's second clip, I wasn't looking at her ass either. But I did look at the second time only after reading the comment "indemand" made.
But Katrina fixing her wedgie made me want to eat her ass. Her soles are just as tasty.
Brook said in her clip that a lady showing her toes isn't lady-like (I know, she's following the script the director gave her). But in this contest, a lady showing her toes is very much lady-like. Agree?
I love what Kelly said in the beginning of the video: "They say showing your toes isn't lady-like. But if you don't show your toes, how are they gonna know you're a lady?"
Good fucking question! That's the question of the year. The message in that skit is perfect for this game: show 'em your toes!
Posted by footfetish&martini (Member # 34060) on :
National, I love the piece you did on Salvatore Ferragamo and Greta Garbo. Reading it and watching the clip gave me a sense as to how rich the history is of both people. I think it's fitting that Greta was chosen to have a celebration on.
And I voted for Longoria. Her feet are better than Szohr's any day of the week and she's wearing the shoes that pays its respect to this contest. She looks great in that outfit. Love how her feet look in those shoes. Classy woman wearing classy shoes. Although I love the shoes Szohr wore, I wish someone else had worn them.
Going back into the contest, it's like I'm realizing how long this contest can be. When your girl is on a hot streak, she makes everything look easy. But when she's struggling a bit, you start to feel uneasy and start to question when the torture is going to be over?
Fashion_Industry has a great memory. Alba did beat Kardashian last year. I certainly hope that both she and Keibler lose. And Duffy asked a VERY good question about what this would do to Jessica Lowndes should the other three girls in that division lose this week? The rematches will come in handy to separate the tight race, but National said that those rematches won't be until towards the end of the year. Can you imagine how intense those matches will be then if the race in that division is still this close? I'm scared.
Aniston has amazing legs. The average woman her age does not look that good. They should all be jealous that they don't have legs like Aniston. With those caps and that clip, it's like she's almost daring me to beat off to her with David Letterman in the same pictures.
But not to be outdone, Ashley has come prepared. Her second set of pictures are being overlooked because that closeup is AMAZING! This is Ashley's week to catch Kate Beckinsale for that division lead.
I voted Audrina this week because it's Audrina for crying out loud.
The two biggest lopsided matches are from the official symbols of both classes. I know they're against weak opponents but still.
As hot as Chriqui's feet look, I could not see myself voting against Underwood's feet. Her feet look nicer and she knows how to play with them.

That clip is classic. All time classic. I was voting through the matches, saw a lot of great pictures, thinking that this is a great week already, then I came across that video and I knew that my week was completed. If there's anyone in this contest who's not grossed out with the idea that a guy has a foot fetish, it's her. Her soles in her other pictures makes you want to lick your computer thinking that it's actually in front of you.
Other matches that are of great interest is that Krupa-Keibler match. I think there's more riding on this on Keibler than it is on Krupa. I think a loss for Krupa would not do as much damage to her playoff hopes as it would to Keibler simply because Krupa has a better record coming into this week. Both women are very popular so this is one of those playoff preview matches that is still fun to watch.
Keep up the great work, National Posted by Snow by Summer (Member # 39539) on :
National, who are those girls in Alessandra's set? These women are amazingly gorgeous. I like how they all come out through that smoke thing. The closeups are to die for. And McPhee's feet are never bad at all. Love her choice in toenail polish. There's something about red toenail polish that invites you to suck on their toes.
And that Ashley clip, that guy is an IDIOT for not even doing ANYTHING to Tisdale's feet. They were right there in the open, waiting for him to do something about it. I bet that guy never caught a hard on while shooting that scene. I'll massage and lick her soles while she's eating that pie. WOW, what a hottie Ashley is.
And thanks, National, for explaining to me how a girl qualifies for the playoffs. Understanding the rules a little better, it would be great for Ashley is Beckinsale lost her match this week.
Tisdale for champion.
That clip and this shot of her feet below made my nights this week a lot more peaceful and so glad that I found a place like this.
I must ask you this question, too: how do you do it, man?
Another question. How do you decide who will face who on any given week?

You cannot suddenly dig broccoli over a Big Mac although that would be the sensible thing for you to do. But I'm glad your here to sacrifice your health in exchange for great pleasure to viewing this pictures and videos.
To answer your first question, I don't know how to answer that question myself. It's not as easy as I make it look.

quote:Originally posted by Snow by Summer: Another question. How do you decide who will face who on any given week?
Making the schedules for these ladies is one my favorite part of organizing this whole thing. It's not as easy as people in here might think. I don't just draw names out of a shoebox and say, "Okay, Week 1 Candice will face this girl." Yes, that's mostly how it works, but it's not that simple. I create the schedules in such a way that prevents anyone from accusing me of intentionally giving one girl an easy schedule while her divisional rival gets a much harder schedule. It certainly seems that that's not the case, but I can **prove** to anyone that I'm right about what I said. I have to be that careful when creating the schedules. The girls follow their schedules no matter what happens to her or her opponents throughout the season.
There's a lot more to it than just that. While most of it consists of drawing names out of a shoebox, there are times where I rearrange the order in which I drew the names out for a certain girl's schedule because it doesn't fall under the guidelines in how I want to organize it. For example, Week 8 is the earliest that any girl is going to have a rematch (rematches only happen with divisional rivals). So if I draw Marisa Miller's name for a second time before Week 8 for Joanna's schedule, then I put Miller's name back in the shoebox and replace that name with someone else.
There are other rules I must abide by in making their schedules, but you get the idea.

I have something for "Another Way of Nice." I have a clip of Katy Perry from the same event in which her pictures were taken. Listen to what she said from 45- to 50 seconds into the clip. I would like to think she wasn't talking about the awards she was holding. It's not a foot clip, but what she said immediately reminded me of you.
Nusuth, I got your PM yesterday and I wanted to respond but your mailbox is full. Perhaps you can delete one of your messages in your mailbox so that I can send you my message with my response to what you told me.

There were some matches that made me think that that's going to be a great match. Olivia Wilde against Carmen. That is another match that is a preview for what the playoffs is going to look like. But if Carmen loses, she better hope the others in her division lose as well if she wants to keep her playoff hopes alive. Excellent pictures from those two girls, but I went with Olivia this week (as I almost always do). The soles shots of both women look amazing, but I would love to have some time alone with Olivia's soles. I don't remember seeing that picture although I'm sure that many others in here have already. Olivia's feet are looking fantastic this week and her shoes are bringing out the black in her toenail polish.

You're so right. The red matches Katharine's shoes and outfit while the black matches Olivia's shoes and outfit.
Alba and Kim is another great match. Seeing matches like these makes me smile because it just reminds me of how awesome this contest is. Alba's feet are looking very nice this week as well. I voted for her. And the fact that Alba has finally caught up to Kim makes this match that more interesting to watch which could set us up for a great finish.
Another thing I like about Candice's pictures is that the top row is like movie stills. She starts off blowing that kiss and ends up wanting to give you the flowers. But if you ask me, I'd rather have have her feet. Ambrosio and Kerr complete the bouquet. Another thing is that it becomes apparent in the third row as to who the leader of that group is. The leader is Candice. She's in the forefront and is looking perfect while at it. She really looks like she fits the bill of what being National's official symbol of the NFC looks like.
quote:Originally posted by Snow by Summer: And that Ashley clip, that guy is an IDIOT for not even doing ANYTHING to Tisdale's feet. They were right there in the open, waiting for him to do something about it. I bet that guy never caught a hard on while shooting that scene.
You're absolutely right. Really, that camera shot of her soles told the whole world what an clueless fool he was. It was as if it said, "Look, folks, he had his chance and he blew it." To foot fetishists like us, that translates to any guy without a foot fetish that Ashley has her legs wide open and that he fed her pie instead of doing the appropriate thing about it.
Hope Justice holds onto the lead.
I love hearing Kelly Brook speak.

quote:Originally posted by foot_fashion_industry: Another thing that was interesting last week was the war between PanAm and Jensen. PanAm loves Marisa, Jensen loves Krupa. Not a big fan of either one, but I will have to say that Marisa is overrated. If Joanna can beat her in their rematch, I would be SO FUCKING HAPPY. Other than Olivia, Marisa is another one I can't stand. And her feet are in the way, too.
Don't make me land this plane. Don't make me. What happened? Did Jessica Alba lose to Marisa? Oh, that's right...she DID lose to Marisa earlier this year. And you're mad because the stipulation was that if Alba won, you'll get unlimited frequent flyer miles with PanAm. Alba helped you lose out on my Frequent Flyer Program. You will not get the benefits that comes with being a loyal customer of my plane. Those benefits involve Jessica Alba not winning the world championship this year while Marisa does.
Marisa will put Alba in her place if she meets her in the playoffs. That's a big if because Marisa Miller will win her division. I'm not so sure about Alba's chances of winning hers.
But I'm not here to really talk about Alba. I'm really here to talk about Joanna Krupa. I don't want to say she's ugly, but when she was born, they tinted the windows on her incubator. And now we can see why Joanna and her disturbing feet are threats to everything when they're flying in a plane...including the birds.
She's flying with some cheap airline company because Joanna's feet are low quality. Ever wonder why they don't show the film Alive in those flights? It's not because of the film content. It's because the people in the film are eating better than the people on board. Marisa, flying with PanAm, means that her feet are filet mignon.
Don't worry. Joanna's feet will no longer be a nuisance to your experience flying with PanAm -- where Miller will make you the newest member of the foot mile high club.

Thanks so much for giving us this wonderful week, National. This is an amazing contest that's unlike any other I've participated in. The one place that makes celebrity feet actually mean something. The one place that makes the topic of celebrity feet a special event that is appreciated by many.
All around, the pictures you showed and the videos that went with it gave the experience on what famous women and their feet are all about. Makes me feel close at home.
Thanks.

More evidence that sheer dominance is being taken over by parity. Parity is when things are quite equal or where things are in symmetry. Parity is great for this contest because it gives a great impression and it gives hope that even a girl who has a decent record, especilly this late in the season, can make the playoffs or win the championship. I also said a few weeks ago that this could be the year where things do not go according to (your) plan. Over the years, people have gotten used to a girl winning just about every single match and not think that anything will ever touch that girl. Now, that feeling of invincibility is not quite as apparent. Even with girls who have great records by all accounts. Even though there are women with great records, there's still that feeling of worrisome because they're not used to their favorite girl having someone with a similar record by her side when we're almost three-quarters of the way through the season.
All of this makes for a much more compelling divisional and wild-card races that will have more people glued to the contest and more people watching with great interest and some nervousness because with a number of women still in the mix, this is no time to be messing up.
Parity is great for this competition, but it's not so great for the actual women involved in them because they are feeling the effects of a recession. Over the last few years a number of these women used to enjoy the life of being on winning streaks and well on their way of winning their division. The ressecion is going to hit somone sooner or later and I think this has a lot of women trying to find answers on how to finally get rid of their division rivals.
Carmen Electra and Kim Kardashian --
This is the first time that Carmen Electra has lost as many as four matches in a season. Before this year, Kim has not lost more than two matches in a season. The common denominator is Stacy Keibler. Stacy has yet to beat either one but she's still a flip of a coin away from winning that division and she's still ahead of Kim Kardashian. That division used to be Carmen and Kim's to own, but they still have not gotten used to the fact that there's another girl who can keep up with them in that same group. It seems like when Stacy wins, so do the others. When Stacy loses, so do the others.
-
Jessica Alba and Olivia Wilde --
Olivia has a pretty nice record. But she still needs some work to do to win that division. While Olivia got her revenge from last year by beating Carmen Electra this week, Jessica Alba is showing signs of life by defeating Kim Kardashian again. Alba is now 2-0 lifetime against her. There was a time when Olivia could've been four wins ahead of Alba in the race to win their division, but Alba remains two wins behind. And they still have a rematch to settle. For Olivia fans, you might have to hope that that rematch happens later rather than sooner because the sooner it happens, and if Alba wins that rematch, that lead could cut down to just one win ahead while there will still be time left before the season is out.
Jessica Alba has five wins now. In the first three seasons of this contest, only seventeen girls have had five-to-six wins by the end of Week 11. Out of those seventeen, only two have made the playoffs that year. They were Maria Menounos in 2009 (five wins) and Jennifer Aniston in 2010 (five and a half). Maria won her division while Aniston settled for a wild card. There has been only one time in Fashionistas history in where a girl had less than five wins after Week 11 and still made the playoffs. Christina Aguilera in 2008 when she had four wins by that time. Aguilera was a great story to tell back in 2008 when she won that division after starting that season 1-4. Even though History is against Alba, let's remember that parity is taking over. Parity is giving Alba a lot of hope that she can defy the odds.
-
Audrina Patridge and Katy Perry --
For someone as dominant as Audrina Patridge, just one loss will feel like three losses. She is in that category with Megan Fox, Carmen and Kim in where a loss feels like the country is mourning a loss of a president. While Katy Perry has been very good, she was never that dominant. But being as good as Katy is, it is ridiculous to think that she is going to have no wins in twenty tries against Audrina. For some, you may never pick Katy Perry over Audrina even though you think Katy has nice feet. But Katy does have a large following in discussions involving celebrities and feet. But this is Katy's first-ever win against Audrina and it couldn't have come at a more desperate time. If Katy winds up making the playoffs, she has that one win to thank. This contest stresses how your vote can make the difference. With sixteen matches in the season, all it takes is one win or loss to make the difference as to whether you're making the playoffs or whether your entire season is still alive. For Katy, a loss here pretty much kills her chances of making the playoffs because she would've had no wins over Audrina and a rematch against a Victoria Justice who she has lost to earlier this year.
Last year, Katy made the playoffs despite losing both matches to Audrina. This year is different because of how well Justice is doing. If it wasn't for Victoria, Katy wouldn't have that much pressure into winning this rematch against Audrina.
So now that everyone knows that every match will be a rematch in Week 17 (and that most matches in Week 16 will be rematches as well), we know know that Audrina will face either Kelly Brook or Victoria Justice in Week 17. The same applies for Katy Perry.
For girls like Audrina, where one loss can feel like three, for Katy Perry, her first win against Audrina in four tries feels like three wins all rolled into one. And the pictures of her this week shows everyone just how that one win feels like. Now, more pictures to celebrate that win:
The only one in that division not feeling that much pressure is Victoria Justice because she's a rookie in this contest. She knows that if she makes the playoffs, that'll be great; if she loses, oh well. I've billed her as the Future of the Business, and I feel that her day will come when she dons the Salvatore Ferragamo. So far, she's living up to that bill by having sole possesion (no pun intended) of first in a division with Katy Perry and the defending National Class Champion in Audrina Patridge going into Week 12.

THE BRITISH INVADED
Of all girls who are still in this contest from the very beginning, Kate is the last one to lose two matches in a row. She was on the verge of having her most successful year yet and then she ran into Katy Perry. Things were not the same since then. She has lost four consecutive matches after winning her first six of the season. A mix of emotions are running through when it comes to Kate. She's the most consistent winner for someone who's never won the world championship, yet she's in danger of missing out on the playoffs. This contest is in its fourth year. No girl has started a season 6-0 and missed making the playoffs. But at the same time, no girl has ever made the playoffs in a season where she's lost four matches in a row.
Kate has got two things going against her. One, Ashley Tisdale is not a little girl anymore. Two, Kate's opponent next week will not go light on her.
Imagine a playoffs without Kate Beckinsale after she's been in there the three years before?
----
MORE SINGS OF A PARITY RECESSION
With this loss, Jessica Szohr is officially eliminated from winning her division. The other girls who are in last place of their division still have a mathematical shot of making the playoffs as division champions. Again, I said mathematically possible because if they win out and the division leaders lose out, the women in last place will win them. Even though the other bottom feeders are still mathematically in it, it's quite obvious that they won't make the playoffs.
How is this a sign of parity? The point is not the fact that Szohr won't win her division. The fact is the number of women who are still in this mathematically.
Number of Women Officially Eliminated from Winning Their Divisions After Week 11 --
2008 -- 5 2009 -- 6 2010 -- 8 2011 -- 1
Winning the division this year is not as easy as it was before.

PLAYOFF STANDINGS
American Female Class - Division Leaders
Marisa Miller 9-1 Irina Shayk 7-3 Olivia Wilde 7-3 Carmen Electra 6-4
American Female Class - Wild Card
Joanna Krupa 8-2 Miranda Kerr/Stacy Keibler 6-4 -- Jessica Alba 5-5 Jessica Lowndes 5-5 Eva Longoria 5-5 Kim Kardashian 5-5
Of those with five wins, Jessica Lowndes is the most noteworthy. For someone who's a relative unknown, she is doing pretty good for herself. That win for Jessica Alba is huge because that gives her a tie breaker over Kardashian. Kim will have to finish the season with a better record than Alba if she hopes to make the playoffs.
National Female Class - Division Leaders
Candice Swanepoel 8-2 Victoria Justice 8-2 Eva Mendes 7-3 Ashley Tisdale/Kate Beckinsale 6-4
National Female Class - Wild Card
Megan Fox 8-2 Audrina Patridge/Katy Perry 7-3
The semi-finalists for last year's playoffs now find themselves in the wild card race. Kate Beckinsale and Ashley Tisdale can also be morphed into the wild card race becuase if one of them loses another match, she has to hope that Audrina or Katy slips up.

Thanks everyone for making Week 11 something to remember. And I thank everyone for their support and kind words they have about this contest. I read every post in here and I hear what you're saying. Thanks for making this the one place to be for foot fetish celebrity hot topic debates. You guys are making this contest the most comptetitve it has ever been and whoever winds up winning the whole thing would definitely deserve it.
Thanks a lot.

Audrina losing to Katy Perry? Katy does have nice feet, but not as hot as Audrina. On top of that, Audrina's outfit and shoes looked a lot hotter than what Katy wore. Katy is more of a child than Audrina is because you won't see Audrina wear something like that with shoes like that. But to be fair to Katy, she can pull off the outfit that Audrina wore with the black shoes she wore. But again, this match should've been Audrina's to win.
Just when I thought Audrina was right back on track, this happens.
I can see that Tisdale's not a little girl anymore. I always liked her feet a lot. She's right behind Audrina for the second wild card spot. I'm afraid to look at what could happen from now until the end of the season. Someone is not going to make the playoffs. I hope it's not Audrina. Her feet are too hot to miss it.

She looks very glamorous this week. But can she sing? That doesn't matter because the better question is if she has hotter feet than Audrina? I'm always back and forth with these two, but this week I've got Katy.

Her soles are just as tasty.![[Thumbs Up]](graemlins/thumbsup.gif)
