Yeardley Smith returns to Sacramento with Marchez Vous

So many fashion-conscious women showed up at the Pavilions Salon Shoes store last April to meet and greet Yeardley Smith that the actress-designer is coming back for an encore engagement.

The big draw was Smith's line of Italian-made padded high heels, pumps, booties and wedges from Marchez Vous, the high-end footwear company she founded.

Yeardley (pronounced "YARD-lee") Smith is well-known as the voice of Lisa Simpson, the brainy daughter of Homer and Marge on the Fox network's "The Simpsons," but that's just part of her resume.

Smith is an Emmy-winning film actor ("As Good As It Gets," "City Slickers"), Broadway stage actor ("The Real Thing" and her one-woman show "More"), voice actor on audiobooks ("Stephen King's Nightmares and Dreamscapes," the Noel Coward and Oscar Wilde collections), writer (the children's book "I, Lorelei"), producer and philanthropist.

Her self-invention continued with Marchez Vous. Smith herself designs the shoes, citing as her mission statement, "To merge beauty and elegance with comfort."

Smith and her fall collection will be on hand from 1 to 4 p.m. Sept. 29 at the shoe store in the Pavilions center (Fair Oaks Boulevard near Howe Avenue), Sacramento; (916) 933-4056, www.marchezvous.com.

What You Should Know About Comments on Sacbee.com

Sacbee.com is happy to provide a forum for reader interaction, discussion, feedback and reaction to our stories. However, we reserve the right to delete inappropriate comments or ban users who can't play nice. (See our full terms of service here.)

Here are some rules of the road:

• Keep your comments civil. Don't insult one another or the subjects of our articles. If you think a comment violates our guidelines click the "report abuse" button to notify the moderators. Responding to the comment will only encourage bad behavior.

• Don't use profanities, vulgarities or hate speech. This is a general interest news site. Sometimes, there are children present. Don't say anything in a way you wouldn't want your own child to hear.

• Do not attack other users; focus your comments on issues, not individuals.

• Stay on topic. Only post comments relevant to the article at hand. If you want to discuss an issue with a specific user, click on his profile name and send him a direct message.

• Do not copy and paste outside material into the comment box.

• Don't repeat the same comment over and over. We heard you the first time.

• Do not use the commenting system for advertising. That's spam and it isn't allowed.

• Don't use all capital letters. That's akin to yelling and not appreciated by the audience.

You should also know that The Sacramento Bee does not screen comments before they are posted. You are more likely to see inappropriate comments before our staff does, so we ask that you click the "report abuse" button to submit those comments for moderator review. You also may notify us via email at feedback@sacbee.com. Note the headline on which the comment is made and tell us the profile name of the user who made the comment. Remember, comment moderation is subjective. You may find some material objectionable that we won't and vice versa.

If you submit a comment, the user name of your account will appear along with it. Users cannot remove their own comments once they have submitted them, but you may ask our staff to retract one of your comments by sending an email to feedback@sacbee.com. Again, make sure you note the headline on which the comment is made and tell us your profile name.
