Hi Kickstarters!

Wow, 68 percent funded! We're well over the halfway mark with just a little less than three weeks to go. Yay!

We're beyond thrilled that our campaign has been so well received thus far, and we have complete faith that we'll make our goal. In fact...well, we'd secretly like to surpass our goal. 

You--yes, you--have already proven yourself to be a stand-up, generous supporter of Hourglass Footwear. Um. Can we ask you for another tiny favor?

We have found that we get the most pledges, and that our ranking in Kickstarter's "Popular" section shoots way up, when lots of people are posting, re-posting, talking about and "liking" our Kickstarter link on Facebook. If you're willing, we'd love to ask you to post our link on your Facebook page, and "like" the link if you see it on someone else's page. An added bonus of being "popular" is that our odds of being noticed by Kickstarter staff (and perhaps featured on their main page) increases dramatically. Plus, who does't like to be popular? 

So here's that link again: http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/817257653/hourglass-footwear-hand-painted-shoes-for-smart-wo

...and thank you. Thank you, thank you, a million times thank you.

--Kira, Lisa, and the whole Hourglass Team
