Heel, boy, heel! 21 years of the High Heel Race (2006-2010)
Vintage High Heel Race photos from 2006 to 2010
Our look back continues with shots from 2006 to 2010. Note how the contestants started to dive more deeply into cultural touchstones of the time — such as Deal or No Deal and Sarah Palin, which were more or less interchangeable. Marilyn Monroe continued to be an annual favorite and explicit faux nudity also became a thing.
