Female Lawyers and Their Iss Shoes
Saturday, February 26th, 2011
Every year during spring, I get invited to speak at law firms on the topic of business casual and every year, without fail, a young female lawyer poses the question: “Are peep toe or open toe shoes appropriate in the legal field?”
Attempting to not put my foot in my mouth, I generally answer in this manner:
Yes to either styles on business casual days, provided:
- the shoe has a sensible heel (4″ or shorter); and
- feet are well manicured.
BUT if
- you’re seeing clients;
- you’re going to court; or
- management frowns upon it,
No.
While I “gently” present to managers the argument that business attire has changed tremendously over the last 20 years and, in order to attract new clients, one should appear current, I also emphasize that casual should never trump business in terms of “business casual.” I’m told by many HR managers that they simply don’t wish to deal with that one person who always “steps” outside the boundaries – poorly manicured feet; stilettos – so they choose not to deal with the issue at all. While some offices are more accepting of one open toe shoe style over another, other offices accept both. And then there are those offices that still struggle over the issue of bare legs. My best advice is to adhere to whatever policy your company adopts. Toeing the line simply isn’t worth the possibility of having both feet out the door.
What’s your take? Complete the poll and leave a comment telling me what you really think.

Malia and Sasha – Poor Little Rich Girls Must Hand Over the Jewels
Wednesday, February 16th, 2011
Malia and Sasha Obama living life as most of us don't know it. (Image DWS Celebrity News)
Dang, what good is it to be daughters of a world leader when you can’t reap the benefits? First daughters Malia and Sasha recently had to turn over gifts from Saudi Arabia – two diamond necklace and earring sets – worth $7,275. Why? Because our good ole U.S. Constitution has a clause within it banding federal officials, or their family members, from accepting foreign gifts.
But apparently, Malia and Sasha are used to this. Since President Obama took office, they’ve had to turn over:
- Two 15-piece nesting dolls from Russia. Worth: $500.
- Four scarves, one teddy bear, and one jewelry box from South Korea. Worth: $570.
- Four dresses and two Isabel Garreton jackets. Worth: $815
- Four books and 17 DVDs from Australia. Worth: $470
So what happens to the gifts? Well, they’re carted off to the National Archives. But wait, get this. Once President Daddy leaves office, the girls, or should I say mommy or daddy, can “buy” back the gifts. Did that feel as criminal to you reading as it felt typing? Geez, the government is a bona fide racketeer.
I can’t help but wonder if the gift givers know about this policy? If they didn’t before, they probably do now.
Oh well . . .
WAIT! Does this mean First Lady Obama is borrowing or buying all of her fancy frocks and things?

(Video) Made in New York, But From Detroit – Superbowl Ad FTW
Sunday, February 6th, 2011
Photo Credit: warmingglow.uproxx.com
I was made in New York, but I’m from Detroit. There, I said it!
Thanks Chrysler and Eminem for the 2:03-minute ad that helped me to say that with pride.
So many fellow Americans have written off my town. Real Talk: My rah rah left a long time ago. But I live here; pay taxes here; married here; raised my child here; obtained my degree here; make my money here. This is my base. So I can’t write off this place.
No, I’ve never stepped foot through a factory door, but when the Big 3 faltered and began to crumple it affected me. It still does. Middle class assassination forced me into what is being labeled today as ”the New Normal.” I had to count my losses. But I’m a NYDETer and I know how to adjust. I know that every day I have breath is a day closer to my ascension above and beyond what was, and closer to yet another “New Normal”.
Not all, but many Americans have no clue what the people of The D are made of or of our hardships and our struggles. Clearly. My Twitter timeline made this observation pretty apparent:
Tweet: “this commercial is kinda raw”
We’re raw at times but we’re authentic and real.
Tweet: “does eminem even live in detroit anymoer?”
Yep, he never left!
Tweet: “The last Eminem ad was strong—he’s about integrity, working-class grit, Detroit and so is whatever car company it was for. I think.”
It was Chrysler. Pay attention. And yes they do care.
Tweet: “. . . i could give a f**k about chrysler. But we all know i got love for Em and Tha D”
Give a f**k about Chrysler; they got love for Em, The D and The people.
Tweet: “..now everyone loves Chrysler, Em and has Detroit pride. One day the Bandwagon Express will deny admission…”
Hey, I’m guilty.
Tweet: “THIS IS A SERIOUS QUESTION: based on the amnt of SuperBowl car ads, do americans really believe buying cars will jumpstart the economy?!?”
Response Tweet: “SERIOUS ANSWER: YES. On average each American car sold pumps something like 30K back into the US economy in the form of wages etc.”
Tweet to Response Tweet: “Really?!?”
Really!!!
But Detroiters are as tough as the steel used in the cars they make and they love, are passionate about and have pride in this town as evidenced by other tweets.
So again, thanks Chrysler and Eminem for that 2:03-minute ad that had people talking, thinking, feeling Detroit.
Now Detroit. Listen up. You’ve got the spotlight . . . REPRESENT!
