Hillary, Can We Talk?
Monday, December 17th, 2007
The first thing I thought upon seeing this photo was that I loved the shoes. I mean, I expected Hillary to wear semi-sexless old lady shoes, in the same way that she seems to always be sporting the semi-sexless pantsuits with the too-long jackets to cover every square inch of her ass and with no nips anywhere to give her any kind of curves. The second thing I thought was about the powerful statement made by a picture of Bill at Hill’s feet, and whether that was a powerful feminist thing or a total dig on the power dynamics in their relationship, but then I got back to the shoes. And then, I saw them in context.
