As a woman, women’s rights is a topic near and dear to my heart. Needless to say, when I heard about Wendy Davis and her 11 hour filibuster I could not help but be grateful. For those who do not know the story:
“Last month, Davis staged an 11-hour filibuster that temporarily stalled the bill, which would ban abortions after 20 weeks and create new, potentially practice-ending requirements for doctors performing the procedures across the state,” according to CNN Politics.
I am not one to talk about or share political views. However, I think this was a moment that needs to be remembered and I think Wendy Davis wore those flashy pink shoes as a statement to all her onlookers and it certainly gave her some “celebrity” status. So this got me to thinking- what “pink shoes” merchandise should we expect to see in support of her cause? Here are a few I envision:
1) Pink Shoe Livestrong “esque” bracelet: These bracelets have been used to support causes spanning from cancer to gay rights. This particular bracelet would be all white sporting pink shoes. The bracelet would read “Standing Against Abortion.”
2) Pink Shoe T- Shirt: These shirts could sport a picture of the infamous shoes with a similar mantra from above.

Could we get them excited about Pink Shoe T-shirts?
3) Pink Shoe necklace: This would be an average necklace with a pair of pink shoes hanging.

Only, you know- the Pink Shoes.
This post is obviously made in jest but the general message I hope is clear. This is a cause that needs a little attention and maybe with a little help from the community we can put our heads together to protect women’s rights. Maybe silly merchandise I listed isn’t the answer so I turn to you bloggers, how would you help this cause?
Shae, you always come up with the most interesting topics!
Actually, I like YOUR idea about the white bracelet sporting pink shoes. Also, the necklace!
Have a super weekend, girl!

Well thank you Ronnie! I was flying by the seat of my pants with ideas just hoping to bring a little attention to a good cause.
haha clothes and accessories can do much. Yeah, stupid these backwards hillbillies in office.
I am not sure what to take from your comment. There is definitely a lot of backwards people in office but not sure I would say Wendy Davis is one of them…
Great ideas. I love the pink bracelets and pink shoe necklace 😀
Ha its funny people are actually liking the ideas they were more though up in jest hoping to bring a laugh while bringing attention to a good cause.
How about totally pink leather outfit for all the bikers! Like Pinky Tuscadero (do you know her?) Guys can just wear pink leather vests! Ok, maybe just a patch.
Absolutely LOVE this idea! I know plenty of people who would look amazing in it and all for a good cause 🙂
