Joey Garza, I think you're barking up the wrong tree. You sound like you're about half a step away from Dofus Lee and her fellow traveller Born Again. As Sigmund once said, "Sometines a cigar is simply a cigar." Try not to read too much into things.

There's something wrong with this article. It talks to pulling up your skirt and showing your shoes. I'm thinking shoes may be a secret code word for panties or peach fuzz. Even in the old days of yore, a skirt would not hang over one's shoes, because it would drag in the dirt and get ragged and torn, and then one would appear to be dressed as one that walks the street, in tatters. I can see the devil's work in this article. He is sly, and has a long tail. It is known to be medium red in color, and sort of barbed, because it is well documented in the old testament that Satan is circumcised. That is why he has always been in a bad mood and causes problems.

Hey Dodie Lee not sure if you "read" your scriptures right but your SIN of JUDGEMENT is not glorifying GOD in fact you yourself are committing a sin since only Jesus Christ himself is only to judge us...maybe you should study a bit more in church like you say instead of on woai trying to religion rape your beliefs!!!

Look up troll in the dictionary and I'll bet you find a picture of our resident hater of anything fun, Dodie Lee. One of these days, I hope she finds a real life.

dodie I know the answer but, How stupid are you? do you know that churches and religious organizations make money at fiesta for their charities. But being a repulsive member of a religious cult you would never understand the positive things real religions accomplish.

Whatever they are showing people is just vulgar and obscene. Fiesta is a sin. The people who go there are there are betraying our Lord and Savior. Jesus died on a cross for all of us. Therefore, doing anything that does not glorify him is an unforgivable sin. People should be at home or at church worshipping God and Jesus and studying the scriptures. Those people who go to Fiesta are going to hell because they are there to drink beer and whiskey and commit all sorts of horrible sins against our Lord. Fiesta is for the devil's people.

Nice article about the shoes, however, WOAI should look into why after the parade, City police allowed 2 of the queens (Order of the Alamo) to ride on the back of their motorcycles while being followed by the cars they were suppose to be riding in. lol, actually looked funny seeing the 2 queens wearing crowns and shorts on the back, hanging on to the officers but if an accident had happened, it sure wouldnt have been funny. Also, i dont think it was proper procedures

If i remember right 1979 is the only year that the parade has been cancelled. I love the show me your shoes, it's fun to see how they have decorated them. from fip flops to sandals or boots.

that sounds like a nice story behind the shoes tradition, but i believe that it was started before 1979. i was a freshman in high school in '74. i was on the jrotc drill team that year and we participated in the day parade as part of the parade vanguard. after we finished the parade route, some of us went to the carnival, while others stayed behind to watch the parade. i was one of those that stayed to watch, and i remember people in the crowd yelling show us your shoes. i can't say who coined the phrase, but i know it wasn't in '79. sorry to burst anyone's bubble.
