Those shoes have been used to raise money for AIDS

A lot of people are raising money to FIGHT this disease, and here they are, raising money FOR it !!!

So did I, many times. What always surprised me was that the "rubies" where those plastic circles with the hole in the middle for the thread.

You probably did.

There (reportedly) were four pairs used in the movie...all of them priceless.

Or, worth 1.5 mil, take your pick.

From the article:

One of the four known pair are on display at the Smithsonian Museum in Washington, D.C., he said. Private collectors own the others.

Just so you're all aware, this is Grand Rapids MINNESOTA, not Michigan.

It's a small town, and Judy Garland's birthplace.

A house-to-house search in San Francisco would probably turn up something.
