We needed about 200 pairs to fill the closet, and you figure $500 a pair - well, you just can't go and spend $100,000 on shoes, so you do what you can,

I wouldn't call the shoe closet Rose's guilty secret, because it makes her feel better about herself. But it's thousands and thousands of dollars worth of shoes, and she has nowhere to wear them.

The shoes are a metaphor for these two women who have the kind of dynamic that a lot of women have with each other where one is thinner, the other is smarter. One is more attractive, the other has more money.

People want closet space. If you fill it to the gills, the assumption is you don't have enough closet space.

If you have one pair of good soles its better than two pairs of good uppers.

The six-pairs-for-three-dollars (brand) were as good as the $12 a pair variety.
