The only option left to me for spooky backdrop was the store's basment, where all of these pictures were taken...This shoe, the Show 2 by Jeffrey Campbell, also available in red, is pictured with Ghost Duck, a long forgotten promotional item we got with a shipment of Rubber Duck shoes." Space. "Your untidy past will come back to haunt you." [Racked Inbox]
