NEWS IN BRIEF
Clothes designer Stuart Weitzman has the record for the most expensive shoes. They are called the Cinderella
Slippers and they cost $2 million. They have diamonds all over them and singer Alison Krauss wore them to the
Oscars in 2004.

In 1998, four friends explored a silver mine in North San Diego. They found an old pair of jeans but thought
nothing of it. Later, they discovered they were original Levis and they were 115 years old! The owners sold them on
the Internet for $60,000 and they became the most expensive jeans in the world.

4000 people from all over Australia are trying to make Australias longest scarf. You can see 60 metres of the scarf at
the Melbourne Craft Fair. But this is only part of it. The final scarf is going to be over 30 km long!
