Madonna shoes offered to Gypsy charity in Romania

Posted by Sylar On Tuesday, October 13, 2009

09-10-13-madonna-shoes-auction-02 The Queen of Pop has offered one of her favorite pairs of Christian Dior shoes to a charity supporting Gypsy child education. Organizers said Tuesday the skyscraper gold heels, which are autographed by Madonna, will be sold at the Ovidiu Rom annual ball later this month.

Madonna drew international attention by saying during an August concert in Bucharest on her “Sticky & Sweet’” tour that widespread discrimination against East Europe’s Gypsies, also known as Roma, should end.

Thousands of fans responded by booing her.

Guests at the ball will make donations to win raffle tickets for the auction of the donated prizes. This year’s items also will include a gold chain donated by actress Vanessa Redgrave.

    the most ugly pair of shoes I ever seen , but good for Madonna this is a good cause , she should had donated the boots she was wearing during the tour , that would had been a better choice, You would think when a celebrity donate a piece of their own personal collection is a piece everyone's can recognize as part of their image , has anyone seen Madonna wear this shoes? lol
