Cheat! Card?

While we're at it:

1. I see that a Curse can make you lose a Cheated item. That includes ones that specifically say "Lose one small item", "Lose the item that gives you the biggest bonus", etc. What about persistent curses like Big Feet? If you already have a curse like Big Feet, can you then play Cheat with footwear?

It seems to me that the order of things makes a difference. If you have the item with a Cheat equipped and then get a curse that says "You can't wear footwear; if you have any right now they are destroyed" that seems pretty clear that just because you are Cheating to wear them, they are still destroyed, so the Cheat card doesn't matter. But once you HAVE the Curse, now the wording reverts to the Cheat card, which says you can use an item that would "otherwise be against the rules". So if you have a Cheat card and footwear in your hand, shouldn't you be able to play them "against the rules"?

2. Do you get racial/class bonuses for items that are attached to Cheat cards? I mean only items that normally can be worn but just don't get the bigger bonus, like the helmet that is only +1 for Humans but +3 for Elves. If you're a Human you can already wear the helmet, so you don't get the Elf bonus, correct?
