Dallasites certainly know how to make a statement - and look great doing so. On May 7, the fashionable ladies of the Lone Star State will put on their best Choos, Manolos and Louboutins for the 2009 Neiman Marcus Stiletto Strut that benefits the American Heart Association.

This is happening across the country to benefit a variety of causes. Gorgeous ladies of the OC are strutting their stuff to help the Beckstrand Cancer Foundation.

Best of all, the donation brackets have the cutest names you've ever seen. Girls 12 years and under can join as part of the "Kitten Heel" crew. Ladies 17+ can donate $100 and be part of the "Pump" group. And for those feeling very charitable, nothing beats the "Super High Stiletto" donation of $2500 which includes registration for 10 patrons at the Strut, 10 Stiletto Strut tote bags, premier seating at the luncheon, opportunity to win at your table only, and a complimentary event photograph.

That sounds like the most fun to me. Grab a group of friends and make an event of it. But if walking in heels isn't your thing, you might enjoy knowing that famed cupcake maker Sprinkles has created a cupcake exclusively for this event. Yes, that's right. A perfect little cupcake topped with the most adorable stiletto. Now... get out there and strut your stuff ladies. With or without your shoes on. :)
