Christian Louboutin to Autograph Shoes

Looking for an excuse to go shoe shopping? (Who isn't?) Well the style section of this week's Sunday Times got pretty interesting for shoe lovers come page 7, where a full page spread advertised that designer Christian Louboutin himself would be hanging out at Saks to autograph shoes this Thursday, February 7th.

So if you get an awesome new pair of heels autographed, or maybe an old favorite (will he sign shoes that aren't newly purchased?), will you then wear them and risk ruining it? Maybe it's better to buy two pairs -- one pair just for the signature and the other to actually walk around in.

The World of Rare Signatures and Autographs: William Shakespeare

by Rigel Celeste (RSS feed) —

Think "autograph" and images of crowds of screaming fans mobbing celebrities comes to mind, or maybe a more organized event with people lining up in droves and the celebrity sitting behind a table. Either way the end result is the same: a lot of signatures leaving with a lot of satisfied fans. And that's great for all those people who now have a souvenir to cherish, but not so much for collectors. In order for a signature to be worth a lot in terms of money it has to be fairly rare.

He may have done a lot of writing, but with only 6 of them in existence William Shakespeare's signature is one of the rarest of all and is valued somewhere around $3 million dollars. And as far as present-day celebrities go it's a harder call to make, but this past year Will Ferrell topped the list of worst celebrity signers (which would, in theory, make his John Hancock just a little more rare).
