(2,252 posts)35. Whoa. I just discovered that your post is slightly misleading...
...about the color of Wendy's shoes.
Evidently Amazon shows Violet Tulle as the default color. But Wendy was wearing Rouge Red for the filibuster!
From The Washington Post Politics:
Say what you will about Wendy Daviss now famous 11-hour filibuster of an abortion bill, but the Texas state senator got one thing indisputably right: her choice of footwear.
Davis sported a rouge-red pair of running shoes (they were Mizuno brand, probably a model called The Wave Rider, which promise joggers an exquisitely smooth ride.)

(actually Amazon lists the color as 'Rouge Red/Apple Green/Dark Shadow')
I hope everyone who rushed out and ordered a dozen pairs of Violet Tulle can change their order!
