Gold shoes?

I was invited to a 21st birthday party last night. The one condition of entry was GOLD SHOES. I had no gold shoes, but I did have some terrible old scrappy purple ones. After reading Craft: 07 all about shoes, I couldn't just go out and buy some gold ones!
I just got some gold acrylic paint (I have no idea whether it's the right kind of paint to use on canvass shoes, but it worked okay), glitter and PVA glue (again, not sure if it's right), and applied LIBERALLY.
