The Sexy Woman

Here’s a little tidbit on what most people think of superstar women like us but rarely say. The other evening in Soho, while out with friends over cocktails and more stimulating conversation, a woman stranger listening in, leans over and innocently asks me what it is that I do for a living. I say that I’m a writer but that my 17+ career is rooted in technology (yes your Shoe Hostess has been a computer geek since she was ten years old) . She smiles and says: “Ahhh so, you’re the sophisticated nerd girl.” Stunned, I blushed for an instant, busted a laugh and soon entered into an enlightening conversation with more women where we concluded (why yes)…

ambitious smart women have and always will be considered sexy.

It’s time to celebrate you readers. Send in what makes you feel beautiful and sexy to : Marisa@InRShoes.com. I’ll share it on an upcoming video along with my own beauty shifters! This dear readers is what connects us as the inspiring women we are.

Oh Nike marketing gurus, are you listening?.

Moving onto the Nike brand, I’d like to quote a line from someone I recently interviewed:

“As women, there is always self doubt but our goal is to jump BETTER. Men on the other hand want to jump HIGHER.”

Lastly dear readers, I have just added yet another inspiring woman to our collection here at In Our Shoes. Stay tuned for an empowering interview with a fashion designer who walked away from an elite C suite career on Wall Street to be a successful couture mumpreneur in high fashion. You won’t want to miss it.
