Truth over Trash
Re 'Pink shoes: Truth or titillation?' letter, June 6: I loved the photo of the pink shoes illustrating the coverage of the homecoming of the Truman strike group. As a former military wife, I still remember the excitement of welcoming home the troops, choosing carefully what to wear to enhance that special first evening home.
I hope the students in the journalism class of the teacher who complained know that one can have degrees and careers, and still look fabulous while celebrating the ship's return from a difficult military mission.

Credit for Wearing Them
There are many opinions about the pink high heels photo and I would give credit to any woman for just being able wear and walk in the things. If the high heels complimented the rest of the attire and made the woman feel more attractive that is her choice. I would say that everyone is
entitled to have a opinion about what the photo implies. I just thought that it was somewhat dumb. If the lady wearing those high-heels has seen all the nonsense written about them she is probably falling out of her chair laughing.
Sassy, Pink Shoes!
As the wife of a retired military member, I also have memories of standing at a pier waiting for a glimpse of my husband after a deployment. And I also carefully chose just the right attire which now seems much too conservative and stuffy. I love the pink shoes, how sexy and fun and exciting. I am guessing her beau was delighted. For Pete's sake, the Country been at war for over five years, we're facing a recession (if not already in one), our homes have lost value and food and gas prices are causing havoc with our budgets. All the more reason to add some easy, inexpensive fun to our lives. I say kudos!
