...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 Davis’s 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!
