xtratufs are magic!

So I'm covering a little event tomorrow night at the local elementary school with Alaska author Mindy Dwyer. While doing a little research on her and her books I found out that in her Last Frontier Cinderella story, The Salmon Princess, the princess wears xtratuffs instead of a glass slipper!

Seriously how adorable! I knew my tuffs are magical with the special treads to create a suction cup on boats for amazing traction ... now if they'd only find me a fairy godmother and fisherman prince charming!


(photos from flikr- look at those glass slipper tufs!)

For your reading pleasure here's a fun archive from the Capitol City Weekly out of Juneau about Alaskan coastal communities' obsession with tufs!
