Ripped From Today's Headlines

I hope you're sitting down.

I see that something called Footwear News, has an article under the headline, "Only Sarah Jessica Parker Could Pull Off Hot Pink Socks With Matching Pointy Pumps." If for some insane reason you want to know the details, you can read all about it here.

I don't know what to say about articles like this. Look, I know my writing is far from great (really, really far.) But my writing is, for lack of a better definition, just for "the fun" of it. This article though, is somebody's actual profession.

How does somebody end up writing an article like this? Is writing about footwear something that someone strives for? In this particular case, is it the writing about the footwear that attracted them or are they just a fan of  Sarah Jessica Parker's feet?  How did they end up doing this?

I wonder if they ask themselves these same questions.

Memo to Footwear News:
One would expect a professional writer to know how to use Spell Check.
It's spelled "bra", not "socks".
And "pointy pumps" is sexist and inappropriate.
