The Awesome Fest

It’s summer, and you know what that means: it’s time for outdoor movies!  Grab a blanket, chair, friend, and snack, and curl up for a night with one of your favorites movies.  And good news: this year, The Awesome Fest (bringing you over 50 events this summer) is concentrating on the best movies from the ‘80s!  Like The Princess Bride:


You’ll have fun storming the castle in this pair of boots by Ellieshoes befitting the Dread Pirate Roberts!  These faux leather boots have a fold-over cuff, tall but solid heel, fancy stitching, and ribbons laced up the side.  (In the photo they’re black, but the description says they may be red… it’ll be a surprise!)  Whole sizes only; yours for $40 from PartyBell.



The Engineer 8R by Frye are reminiscent of Indy’s boots, no?  They look like they’ve been to hell and back (or at least to Nepal), but they’re brand-new leather topped with buckles.  Plus they have Goodyear welt construction, a thirteen-inch circumference, and six-inch shaft—tall enough to help keep out the snakes.  (Why’d it have to be snakes?!)  Available in six other color options as well; your choice for $248 on Zappos.

Or Who Framed Roger Rabbit—because you’re not bad; you’re just drawn that way. 



I know this heel is slightly terrifying, but just look at the curve of Jessica Rabbit’s red pumps—the Dagger by Pleaser is about as close as you’ll get to the real thing.  Pointy toe, sky high heel (that’s 5.5 inches with no platform to help you!), and sexy attitude to spare.  Just, er, be careful in these, okay?  Lounge singing only; no running about.  Find them on Amazon for $77.

Plus there’s a ton of other movies too if these three aren’t your favorites—then again, that’s inconceivable! 


The Awesome Fest runs from this Friday (June 14) through August 17. The Princess Bride is on June 21.  Who Framed Roger Rabbit is on June 29, and the voice of Roger Rabbit will be in attendance!  Raiders of the Lost Ark will be on August 10.
