A woman in California has amassed a staggering 16,400 pieces of shoes
and shoe-shaped objects, beating her own world record for the largest
such collection.
Darlene Flynn, dubbed as the Shoe Lady, numbers
shoe-shaped furniture, clothes, teapots and phones among her haul. She
even has a cowboy boot toilet brush holder and a replica of Cinderella's
glass slipper.
Having originally set the record in 2006 with
7,765 items, Flynn, 57, has now doubled her collection in size and it is
worth a whopping 316,000 pounds (about $500,000), The Sun reported.
Flynn
said: "I don't know why it had to be shoes. I just love them and it
kind of got out of control." She began collecting shoes after getting
divorced in 2001.
