This started as a joke on the Wizard's site about worshipping shoes and to prove a point I made up this class. I thought I'd share it here. For amusement purposes only.

*From The Spell Compendium
Class Skills: Appraise (Int), Bluff (Cha), Concentration (Con), Disguise (Cha), Diplomacy (Cha), Intimidate (Cha), Knowledge (Religion) (Int) and Sense Motive (Wis) are class skills for Acolytes of the Blessed Imelda Marcos.
Skill Points at Each Level: 2 + Int modifier.
Never Pay Retail (Ex): With your keen fashion sense, you gain a +2 bonus to appraise any wearable item and +1 bonus to Diplomacy checks to any one who is trying to sell items (innkeepers, shopkeepers, etc.).
Shoe Fetish (Ex): You are unable to resist buying a pair of shoes and will go to great lengths to obtain the perfect footwear. You gain a +2 bonus on Concentration checks but take a -1 penalty on Spot and Listen checks.
Bigger, Better, Faster, More (Sp): You are very competitive by nature and expect the best of everything. You gain the benefit of eagle’s splendor once a day.
The Shoes Make The Man (Or Woman) (Sp): While you are unable to resist buying a shoe and will go to great lengths to obtain the perfect footwear, any shoes on your feet become impervious to wear and dirt. Since cleanliness is next to godliness, you gain bless 3/times a day as a spell-like ability.
You Look Marvelous (Sp): It’s just as important to look good as it is to feel good. You gain a +1 morale bonus to Intimidate checks.
Never Let Them See You Sweat (Su): You are immune to Fear effects.

It's ALL About the Shoes
Shoes of Protection and Teleportation
These slippers offer +2 protection from evil, but the only place you can teleport is home. They come in either Silver or Ruby. [The masculine versons come in attractive gun-metal gray and maroon snake-skin leather.]
Moderate Conjuration; CL 6th; Craft Wondrous Item, protection from evil, teleport; Price 2,500 GP, Weight 1 lb.
Boots of Fascination
Any member of the opposite sex who see these must make a Will save (DC 20) or be fascinated for 1d4 rounds. Any member of the same sex is envious that you have great shoes and will ask where you got them.
Faint Enchantment; CL 1st; Craft Wondrous Item, hypnotism, Price 100, GP Weight 3 lbs.
Bunny Sippers of Warmth
These are especially coveted by the Fashionista who likes creature comforts. Usually they come in pink or white, but also can be found as Bear Slippers of Warmth for the discerning male Acolyte [known colloquially as the Metrosexual]. These slippers give a +2 bonus to Saving throws against cold-based effects.
Faint Abjuration; CL 1st; Craft Wondrous Item, endure elements; Price 500 GP, Weight 1 lb.
Cursed Rubber Galoshes of Practicality
These are thoroughly practical galoshes, completely rainproof, but anyone wearing them must take a -2 penalty to all Charisma based checks. No respectable Fascinista would be caught dead in a pair of these. However, once donned they are impossible to remove without a remove curse spell. Once the curse is removed, the boots remain practical but will eventually wear out and become leaky.
Faint Necromancy; CL 3rd, Craft Wondrous Item, bestow curse, mending; Price 400 GP, Weight 1 lb.
Hippie sandals
Hippie sandals give you a +2 bonus on Diplomacy checks when dealing with Fey creatures. Dwarves traditionally think they look better with socks but a real Fashionista knows that sandals should never be worn with socks. Wearing socks lowers the bonus to only +1.
Faint Enchantment; CL 3rd; Craft Wondrous Item; good hope; Price 200 GP, Weight 2 lbs.
Stiletto Shoes of Salsa Dancing
These open-toed shoes come in variety of colors, with or without sequins. In either case, the heels add 3-5 inches of height to the wearer. These strappy shoes look deceptively fragile, but have a steel bar supporting the heel. They add +2 to Perform (Dance) and add 5 feet to the speed of anyone wearing them. As a last resort, the wearer can remove a shoe and use it as a weapon. The heel does 1d3 points of piercing damage. The shoe may be thrown and has a 10-foot range.
Moderate Transmutation; CL 6, Craft Wondrous Item; cat's grace, haste; Cost 8,000 GP Weight 2 lbs.
Cowboy Boots of Foot Stomping and Butt Kicking
While there are a few male Acolytes of the Blessed Imelda Marcos who are secure in their masculinity to wear stilettos, most prefer the Cowboy Boots of Foot Stomping and Butt Kicking. They add +1 to Perform (Dance) and +1 to Tumble. They need not be removed to be used as a weapon. The boots add 1d4 points of bludgeoning damage to any kick made by the wearer.
Moderate Transmutation; CL 6, Craft Wondrous Item; cat's grace, haste; Cost 8,000 GP Weight 4 lbs.
I hope you at least got a chuckle out of this.
