Now Katie Couric...Shoot! The Shoe Pressure
is too INTENSE!

You know I never really got into her. But just her doing this video hello has gone a long way in winning me over! And her shoes were HOT! I mean Sista was rocking those fly-ass stilletos!

Oh I am so watching her at 6:00pm from now on!

Way too much pressure on SHOES...AARGH!

Love,

Babz

Althought walking is heels is not my strong suit, I'd risk busting my ass gladly to have been seen in those babies!!

As A Flat Foot Floosie

and not a shoe person I'm even saying those kicks are spanking.

But moving up from her tootsies I appreciated that she took the time to mention bloggers and BlogHer without the usual contempt spewed undertone by others in her profession and that she recognized the buying power and interest of (some) of the women folks on the planet.

Changes ladies, there are changes afoot. But I am not wearing high heels to get there. Sneaker solidarity!

Sneakers here too!

I thought about flip flops but I figured I might get my toes stepped on.

OMG How Fun!

Loved that!

But I'm still wearing my man shoes to BlogHer this year. Gonna keep my feets comfy and toasty in San Fran. ;)

Cute Kicks

This is so showing my age but I have to say it --Katie's cute kicks would kill my feet. And I remember my 5 inch Charles Jourdan mules -- was it 30 years ago?! There was such power in towering and teetering on those bad boys.

Now comfort wins out most of the time except I do have a few favorite pairs of pointed toe pumps with the little, what do they call them --kitten heels.

Too Cute and Too Cool

Have to love that Katie! (not that I have watched her since she moved to the 6 O'clock but I am loving those, far out of my reach, shoes AND her great support of us hard working/spending women. Beware world, us blogging women are a force to be reckoned with.
