That ought to grab someone’s attention. The idea grabbed mine when speaking to Amy Ferris the other day. She’s the author of a book I just love called, Marrying George Clooney, 3 A. M.

There are those among us who would look at the foot clothing on the left with scorn, ridicule, disbelief that a midlife woman would dare such outrageous adornment.
