Five hundred women (and 11 men) took part in a 150-yard dash through Central Park in 3-inch heels this week, netting $60,000 for the March of Dimes as part of New York’s (the world’s?) first ever High Heel-A-Thon. The event was the brainchild of Jersey-born talk show tartlet Kelly Ripa who lost the first-place $25,000 purse to Chioma Aduba of Queens. Nice work, Chioma. That's a major victory for the outer-boroughs in the bridge and tunnel olympics.

Note to Kelly: more hairspray, less shorts.
