Honorable Shoes

[Pop Bitch] Which of the national treasures featured on the New Year’s Honours list has a stack of women’s shoes that he’s collected from his conquests over the years?

They weren’t really given as a memento exactly.

More because the women rarely wanted them back after he’d… ahem… finished with them.

BG Note: The New Year’s Honours List recognizes the achievements and service of extraordinary people across the United Kingdom.

The Most Excellent Order of the British Empire is a British order of chivalry, rewarding contributions to the arts and sciences, work with charitable and welfare organisations, and public service outside the civil service.

It was established on 4 June 1917 by King George V and comprises five classes across both civil and military divisions, the most senior two of which make the recipient either a knight if male or dame if female. There is also the related British Empire Medal, whose recipients are affiliated with, but not members of, the order.

[Optional] If you received the top award, would you insist that people call you by your title (Sir or Dame)?

    Micheal Palin. Thanks to his work in ‘A Fish Called Wanda’ i could see this being him.
    Optional: No way in hell. It is an award. Nice title for stationary.

    Barry Gibb or Ringo Starr – “years” implies a long career, and musicians are famous for their groupies. Speaking of, the terminology of “conquest” is annoyingly outdated. Groupies weren’t “conquered” – they were willing participants, if not outright pursuers!

    Everyone.

    Yes, I’d insist on my title being used to address me, for the whole of the day my “honorific title” was given, I might expect a slight bow or curtesy, too. I’d be stupid to let the moment pass without getting some attention, however I think everyone in my sphere that day would side eye me and ignore me. I would muster on with my temporary feelings of (false) superiority. It would be a fun and funny day.

    Christopher Nolan. CBE
    Seems a bit unlikely to me but given the “knighthood” implication I’d take a far-fetched guess.

    If this wasn’t a freaky story from over-the-pond, I would guess Quentin Tarentino, the director.
    He just got married but is rumored to have a foot fetish and I could see him getting amorous with a shoe!
