While I enjoyed hearing about the issues that Governor Palin brought up, (you can watch a href=”http://www.pjtv.com/video/Tea_Party_Convention_2010/Sarah_Palin_at_the_2010_National_Tea_Party_Convention_/3031/”the video of her speech here/a with Glenn and I giving commentary at the end), I couldn’t help but be drawn to the extremely high-heeled pumps that she was wearing. All I could think was “how does she wear those? Aren’t they uncomfortable? How does she keep from falling in them?” I am always amazed by women who give speeches in incredibly high heels, which many seem to do. How do they do it so gracefully? And why do they need the extremely high heels, for more presence?
