Boot Illusions Shark Tank Pitch
Andrew Goodrum and Queenie Davis sold rain boots and other products amounting to $130k in sales. They are pitching their new prototype concept to the sharks called Boot Illusions.
Boot Illusions are shoe attachments that allow one to turn an existing shoe into a boot by only purchasing the upper part. This idea is similar to Onesole /seasons/2/episodes/9/onesole from season 2. Their existing sandal idea is in the gray area of patent infringement, but I'm just speculating.Link Preview

Queenie had a voice in her head saying Turkey. Perhaps, it was just near the end of November.
I had a dream that I went to Turkey so I literally jumped on a plane, went to Turkey, and found a manufacturer.
Andrew and Queenie have put in $40k of their money. They want to get a voice for Boot Illusions and sell direct-to-consumer.
These shoes to women are like boys and candy. Once you see something you like it gets in your head. You gotta have it.
Daymond and Barbara both make an offer. As Andrew and Queenie are thinking, Barbara gets out of her seat and Queenie accepts Barbara's offer. Queenie's partner Andrew leaned toward Daymond but went along with the deal anyway.

Around the time their episode aired the manufacturer in Turkey had unrelated issues that forced Queenie to find a new manufacturer, which they found in Brazil.
Unfortunately, there was a delay in the fabrics making it to the manufacturer in time for Christmas, and Boot Illusions had to return a bunch of money back to customers whose orders they couldn't fill.
Queenie had overcome those issues and planned a great 2013 with inventory and a new website to launch. The reality must have caused problems, and Boot Illusions disappeared.
