| Hi. Just want to give you some heads-up. There is a EuroVision contest in Vienna this year and one of the contestants, Maria Olafs from Iceland not only performs her song barefoot, but she only arrived at the opening ceremony without shoes. She has been barefoot on all the ocassions so far. When the host asked her, where her shoes are, she said "actually, at home". She went barefoot all the way from the hotel, took the Eurovision bus, walked the Red Carpet barefoot and joined the opening reception in the Town Hall also shoeless.

| Thanks for this LTD,...I'm in love with this girl!! Now if only there were some soles pics...her feet must be black if she left her shoes at home... |

| Any more information on her? The interview video wasn't functioning...and the internet is kinda skimpy with info on her....anyway, I'm a fan already, lol.... She's a little bitty girl, isn't she? I know that it's a trend going with all these female Eurovision performers going barefoot, but Maria seems more extremeist in not having any shoes with her at all,...  |

Still like Emmelie de Forest better  That said though, Emmelie doesn't go barefoot EVERYWHERE like this one seemingly does..... Think I know who I'll be voting for! |

| Another in the great Scandinavian Eurovision barefoot tradition! Emmelie de Forest won 2 years ago for Denmark, Loreen from Sweden won the year before that. With knowledge like this, you can vote for the winner without having to watch the whole damn show! As winning Iceland entry here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8pYueOpzswg |

With the likes of Emmelie de Forest and Loreen, we're generally spoilt for choice at E.S.C Last year, those Russian twins went barefoot and for those not really familiar with the history of the contest, have a look at youtube for the following entries as well: - Hungary 2014 (+ bf guy  )- Finland 2010 - Cyprus 2009 (Didn't qualify) - Hungary 2007 Possibly the best one, even though for some ungodly reason it DIDN'T QUALIFY (wtf?!?!) - Croatia 2010..... it's as if they just KNOW it turns us on! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tkl4YU5oHB8 |

| Thank you drjamorales...but first, maybe I should ask...is Maria even 18 yet? I love this little chicklet!! |

| Loreen: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Pfo-8z86x80 Emmelie de Forest: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=k59E7T0H-Us And those who can, vote early and vote often!  |

| Maria is an absolute cutie! I sure hope she wins! Even if she doesn't win, maybe this will be a springboard to big success for her (and her bare feet). Oh, and according to Wikipedia, she's 22 (born March 21, 1993), so no worries about that. |

| I sure hope that she wins....and that she keeps 'em bare!! |

Ups, she's out. No barefoot winner this year. And sorry to spoil it a bit more, but she didn't go barefoot totally everywhere. I saw photos from a press conference - she went barefoot just somewhere  But it doesn't change anything about her great opening party barefoot appearance and cuteness and everything.Anyway, you may also like this short clip with her: http://songcontest.orf.at/videos/stories/2711850/ |

| Well, that's a drag,...but I'm still a fan, and I don't think this will bother her career any,...she'll be fine.. |

| If she was on stage, Lemmy1945 would surely have added her photos in his exquisite collection. But Yeah, Barefoot on the Red Carpet?! Yeah, splendid. Thanks for all the other links |
