I've owned and worn these magic red slipper socks since October of 2010. I've received a lot of nice comments from people because of these socks. I wear a lot of the different "shoe" socks from Foot Traffic - four different colors of the high top sneaker socks, the ballet shoe socks, and the non-shoe socks with patterns varying from counting sheep, piano keys, lotus blossoms, peacock, dachshunds, tiger, pandas, dolphins, hot air balloons, duck-duck-goose, magnolias, the Statue of Liberty, etc. If you visit the Foot Traffic website, and look at the non-skid socks section, they've even added more shoe sock options besides hippie high top, ballet, and plain high top. They added a cowboy boot sock. Back to these particular magic red slipper socks - I love watching Judy Garland movies, especially "Meet Me in St. Louis" and "The Wizard of Oz". And these magic red slipper socks remind me of those movies, Judy Garland, and me being a Midwestern girl like Dorothy from "The Wizard of Oz". This pair of socks also reminds me of Lady Gaga receiving an actual pair of ruby red slippers that Judy Garland wore while filming "The Wizard of Oz". Lady Gaga received the actual ruby red slippers as a gift on her 25th birthday this year. I think any fan of Lady Gaga's should include these pair of magic red slipper socks with any gift that they give her during Meet and Greet sessions with her during her concert tour. Besides the magic red slipper socks, Foot Traffic, on their website, also has black and white piano key socks (I own these), the rainbow piano key socks, the love graffiti socks, the taxi socks, the poker socks, the wink socks, and the burning flames (like on a motorcycle) socks - these are the Foot Traffic sock designs that I think Lady Gaga would probably like and appreciate as well. I think any woman would like Foot Traffic socks. Foot Traffic makes such a huge variety of socks from normal-looking to unusual and unique. About 90 percent of my huge sock wardrobe is from Foot Traffic.  In regards to this pair of magic red slipper socks, you need to be extra careful when you're washing them because of the silver and red metallic threads. If you're not gentle when washing them, the threads will come loose. I would suggest washing these socks by hand. The other shoe socks from Foot Traffic are fine to wash in the washing machine since the other shoe socks such as the ballet, High Top, etc. don't have metallic threads. If you want socks to wear during special occasions, then try these magic red slipper socks.
