BigShoes Movie Kinky Boots
I have to talk movies. Is it so rare to find something fun and musical and inspirational? I saved Kinky Boots to the DVR a while back so I could watch and review it for BigShoes, seeing as every now and again it is good to have a topic on footwear on BigShoes for all the lost wandering shoe soles out there (don’t hold the pun against me). I don’t know that if BigShoes had to describe itself as a movie that it would be Kinky Boots… (all together now ….JAWS!) However, that being said Kinky Boots was incredible. It was incredible music, singing and humor.
My favorite part of Kinky Boots was the music, in particular the great walkway scene at the end that was an excellent collection of boot and shoe melodies sung by Chiwetel Ejiofor who played Lola (Sam). Please note, it is “loosely” based on a true story so don’t believe everything you read, see or hear. Don’t let the title or content shock or scare you away. You could view this film with your parents or most of your children.
Here is the Kinky Boots walkway scene (and a link from YouTube in case it gets disabled).
I have an award for you over on my blog. :)

I loved “Kinky Boots”!! Another one you might try is “Rent”. It’s probably one of my all time favorite musicals. I find myself singing the songs at the oddest moments. lol
I had never seen Kinky boots and probably wouldn’t have looked for it. But after watching this I’m definitely going to now. This was funny, definitely a pick-me-up.
