I wish we didn't have gray/grey* following directly on the metallics, but we are out of other colours! The colour challenge will wrap up in July with a two week extravaganza of multi-coloured shoes. While I am sure I could happily fill an entire month with rainbow and pattern shoes, coding that poll would be a nightmare so two weeks is the limit. ;)
I don't know about the rest of you, but I've really enjoyed the colour challenge. I think challenges are a great way to encourage group participation, and more participation from our members results in a greater variety of shoes for us to look at!
Right now the plan for this community is to go free-style for the remainder of July, and then I will start a new series of challenges in August. I have lots of ideas for future challenges including the fandom shoe challenge (screencaps of shoes worn by your favourite tv and film characters), the crack!shoe challenge (shoes designed by people who are obviously on crack!), and the show us your shoes challenge (for sharing the shoes that we actually own and wear)... I intend to put up a community feedback post for other suggestions sometime before the end of July, but comments are also welcome here and now if anyone has any immediate feedback on how this community has been going thus far.
