Remember last year for Christmasmy brother gave me the Page-A-Day Shoe Calendar that I thenconverted into two shoeposter collages? Well, this year he gave me this Just the Right Shoe 2009 Desk Calendar, and I love it!

On the Prowl, Pointedly Wicked, Glitter Glam, and Solar Heat. These are just some of the exquisite miniature collectible shoes designed by artist Raine for the Just the Right Shoe line and featured in this calendar. Whether sexy stilettos, sophisticated boots, funky wedges, or cool sandals, these darling little gems have incredible attention to detail and fulfill every woman’s shoe fantasies. This gorgeous and sophisticated calendar is filled with original sketches by Raine modeled after her miniature collectible shoe line and done in her trademark whimsical style. Each weekly spread features a beautiful sketch accompanied by a quote about shoes. The image on the hard cover is beautifully embossed and adorned with jewels.

Available from Amazon.com. Squeak also gave me some cool “shoe stuff”including shoe stationary and shoe hankies with the words “Stimulating the economy one shoe sale at a time!” Love it!

I hosted my mother’s side of the family Christmas at my home this year. My cute cousin, Erin, wore these BKE Sole Nicely Shoe almond toe color bleed pumps, available from Buckle.com, $26.50. Also, check out the tattoo on her foot! Originally she had a Chinese symbol tattoo, but said too many would ask her what it meant (I don’t remember either). She altered it to include stars (her favorite design) intertwined with her kids’ names.

Q: Hi, can you help me find a suede boot that I recently saw Pamela Anderson wearingwhile she was doing her laundry outside her home in California? It looks like an Ugg boot but it isn’t. It’s super tall and big calf area, its right at the knee area and kinda slouchy looking. This boot looks like suede but not sure…it has a big pull tab on the top of the boots…can youhelp me with a brand name Thanks much, Debi

A: I’m presuming they are not Uggs either because 1) the only Ugg style with pull tags is the UggSwell Tall, and 2) Pamela Anderson boycotted Uggs last year after learning they’re made from real sheepskin. She recommends Stella McCartney or Juicy boots, and told PEOPLE she was in the process of designingsome Ugg-alternatives for Star, her cruelty-free shoe line. Maybe this is a beta pair? Or does anyone else have any insight?

Here are afew faux alternatives while we wait…
