I just have to clarify this... The flip flops are only to be worn between parties. They are not considered dressy in this sense. The houses are far apart and there are 18 houses I think. That is a lot of walking in 100 degree weather. These lovely ladies would surely get blisters if they wore their heels all day! These are some long and grueling days for these girls. I believe that one day they had to be ready to go by 6am! Rainbow is a brand name, they are comparable to Reef's if you have heard of those. They are a basic brown leather flip flop, extremely comfortable, and worn by both men and women. Here in the south, flip flops rule the day as far as footwear goes just because it is too hot to wear anything else!
