[spanone]

4. Great Job CatWoman!!!!

Beautiful

[Totally Tunsie]

5. Power Couple!

[pdsimdars]

6. Thank God men don't wear shoes like that. OUCH!! I grew up in Hawaii, barefoot as much as possible

[SunSeeker]

8. Yep. I'm a woman and I would never wear those shoes!

The beauty would not be worth the pain to me.

[marybourg]

9. My first thought also, on seeing those shoes.

[Amaryllis]

21. Me too; first thought after yes it's a great photo - those shoes would KILL my feet and how

do they walk around in them all day? I wore high heels exactly twice and swore off them.

[CatWoman]

23. i agree about the shoes

my feet are so bad now, all i can wear are very low heels (loafers)

[madaboutharry]

27. The shoes were the first thing I noticed.

They are lovely, on someone else.

Not me, No way. Nope.

[ProudLib72]

33. They inflict more pain during an ass kicking?

Oh, just picture the two of them taking turns kicking It's ass. Fills the heart with gladness, doesn't it?

[NJCher]

37. ask this woman if she needed them

He tried to rob her of her cell phone and she took care of him real good.

[sarge43]

10. This woman considers it legal foot binding.

But yes, a powerful picture.

[spooky3]

32. Ditto. I'm glad that they are among the rare lucky ones

whose feet have not been damaged by shoes like this. Many others have.

[zanana1]

41. Agree 100%

[samnsara]

43. any bets who designed those shoes?

[sarge43]

45. Just a guess. Someone who would never wear anything like?

[Silver Gaia]

38. I know my comment won't be popular, but

shoes like that are not uncomfortable if they are well-made and bought to fit. Their toes are not squished into the pointy part of the toe of the shoe. That part is empty. Their toes are actually just past the edge of the shoe, where it is quite wide. They both look like low heeled pumps, too, so they shouldn't be causing pain that way, either. I've worn similar shoes without suffering, and am actually more comfortable in a low heel than a flat. So, it's probably not a big deal. I'm sure they can both afford to buy well-made shoes, and neither of them look like they are in pain to me.

[forgotmylogin]

47. Aren't they an optical illusion though?

I know women put up with a lot of brutal footwear in the name of fashion, but aren't pointy shoes designed to accommodate the toes way before the point closes in? I mean I would hope the point is just extra empty space and wearer's toes are in the wide part so they're not any more restricting than a rounded toe heel? Especially if the shoe is broken in properly and fits well.

I understand as a guy I might be clueless about this, but I can't imagine busy women who walk would ever choose pointed toes if they were extra uncomfortable outside of a costume-type situation.

7. . Aren't they lovely .... aren't they wonderful

[wryter2000]

[gademocrat7]

[bdamomma]

[progree]

17. Yes, great picture. I've been wondering how to post pics found on Facebook here

for a long time with no success. It just ends up being a link that one has to click in order to see the pic, rather than displaying as a picture. (Any hints? Thanks!)

[CatWoman]

22. Here you go

39. HA

[Honeycombe8]

18. Love it. But unfair!

How is it that they look shapely with those big boobies, but mine get big, I just look fat? Not fair! But seriously, they're rockin' it, in more ways than one. Did you notice their shoes are the same, except for the color?

It's so awesome to know these women are in charge. No more panels of old white men, gathered to rule on issues that affect women more than men. At least in the House.

On to the Senate!

[KT2000]

19. Powerful women

also - love Maxine Waters' coat. For winter that is a really smart hem.

[Dem_in_Nebr.]

20. Definitely got their power colors on! n/t

[Ohiogal]

24. It makes me feel hopeful

for the first time in two years seeing these smart, powerful women in charge.

Great photo!

[Crutchez_CuiBono]

26. Nice picture.

Time to start this son of a gun up, and push back hard!!!

[VOX]

30. As an older white dude, I ABSOLUTELY LOVE THIS!

I’ve been saying to my wife for years now, that more and more women should be in the highest leadership positions.

Men have more than had their turn, and with a few exceptions, look at the mess things are in — yesterday, today and tomorrow. That’s one of the reasons Barack Obama was/is so great— he’s a genuine, empathetic, strong man, who possesses such good character, intellect and confidence that he has no need (or time) to engage in “pissing contests.” He also had to bear every brand of racism, including some horrible urban folktales, and still he prevailed. THAT is a MAN.

But like a gemstone, there aren’t many men who have the strength and wisdom to match Obama’s. So, yes, please, let’s put more women at the controls to save us from our worst selves.

31. Who said they were too old? Great picture.

[littlemissmartypants]

34. Bookmarking. I may need some inspiration for dark days ahead.

Super post! Thank you for sharing this, CatWoman.

[Aristus]

48. This picture does not open for me.

This will happen ever once in a while with no rhyme or reason. Of course, now my curiosity is killing me.

[Judi Lynn]

49. So glad to get to see this photo, CatWoman. Love the very fresh feeling, like in person.

They look so happy, don't they?

Bless them both, forever.

Thank you.
