Theres been no rest for the wicked just a week into President Donald Trumps 17-day vacation, what with our late-summer flirtation with nuclear war. But the women in the Trump clan seem to have been able to kick back. Given the dearth of photographic evidence otherwise, perhaps they have finally been able to put their feet up.
This hiatus allows us to reflect on a minor Trumpian trend to which the nation has become accustomed since January: the ubiquitous stiletto pump. The vertiginous spike-heel shoe is not currently in fashion, but for Ivana, Ivanka, Melania and the Trump daughters-in-law, Carrie Bradshaws shoe of choice never went out of style. In fact, the female consorts of the Leader of the Free World do not set foot in public without first molding their arches into the supranatural curve that Mattel toy designers once devised for Barbies plastic feet.
Six months in, and the Trump women are well on their way to normalizing the footwear of the beauty pageant. The Cinderella shoe fitted on the feet of all the Miss Teen USAs and Miss Universes who ever beamed under the Trumpian gaze in contests of yore also is the shoe that average women can bear for only a few hours at weddings or proms, before casting them off, moaning and rubbing their soles.

Yes, this is a real article.
I am posting this because these people on the left are literally insane.
Deeper in the article we have this "Feminists have long grappled with the high-heeled shoe, and whether the stiletto telegraphs power (sexual or otherwise) or self-hobbled weakness. Stiletto pumps are the ultimate test of a certain type of femininity. They signal the taut combination of power and weakness that conservative women must cultivate in order to survive among ideologues who are crafting our tax-free Handmaids Tale future."
Mee. Ow.
Thank You for the heads up 2ndDivisionVet.
Combo Ping.
I can't believe this article is real.
This is the NPR "reporter" who offered to suck Bill Clinton's bent member to thank him for something or other ...
The kind of tortured thinking that betrays female neuroticism...I’d bet someone has actually done a Master’s Thesis on this.
There are pics of Burleigh on line. Some of them include her feet. Nuff said.
“Living well is the best revenge”
I am reveling in their misery, which seems to have no end.

“I am posting this because these people on the left are literally insane.”
I worked with women like that. They wouldn’t style their hair or wear perfume if their lives depended on it ... and would mock YOU if you did. It’s pure envy because I don’t know what else to call it. Of course, they were all Liberals and laughably hooked on their earth shoes and dated jeans and t shirts.
My boss told me one day:”I don’t know how you can wear heels.’
I said: “Frumpy, dumpy doesn’t work for me.”
SHE was poster girl for ‘frumpy dumpy’. Personally, I think homely girls really like that way of dressing, because it makes everyone look like THEM!! :)
Just when I thought that getting two scoops of ice cream was the Trump family’s unpardonable sin, I see this. I’m confused; which is worse — two scoops of ice cream or high heels? I’ll be living in a state of angst all day if I can’t sort it out.
For supporting abortion.

News to Nina: New York women dress up. And they loooove their high heels. You must visit some time - and do more than have your photo taken with the Naked Cowboy.
Ran across a pic online of Burleigh in high heels: platform espadrilles. Other than that, I will make no comment.
‘The vertiginous spike-heel shoe is not currently in fashion’
Perhaps this woman isn’t very observant. Those sky high spike heels are EVERYWHERE. SHE is the one that is clueless.
Remind me again why taxpayers pay mediocre women such as this at NPR.
For some people, high heels prevent tripping. I’m 60” high and if not for the heels people would be tripping on me.
These asses have gone too far!! It’s time to shadow them into a corner of fear!! ENUFF!!
