Texas senator Wendy Davis stood and spoke for nearly 11 hours on Tuesday<\/a> — a filibuster that derailed an effort to pass a harsh anti-abortion bill in the state senate. During the filibuster, she couldn’t eat, sit or even lean, so she wore pink\u00a0Mizuno Wave Rider 16 sneakers for comfort<\/a>.\u00a0 Because my name is Wendy and I’ve written about sneakers<\/a> in the past, I’ve been getting blog visitors who are searching for the other Wendy’s sneakers, so this is the information you’re looking for! (I like to help out.) If you want to buy the sneakers — and you would like to have a laugh at the same time — go to Amazon.com and check out the witty reviews before you make your purchase<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Davis married as a teenager, quickly divorced and wound up as a single mother. She put herself through college and ultimately graduated from Harvard Law School. Another Texas woman who married as a teen, divorced and wound up a single mother was model Anna Nicole Smith<\/a>. She went to Playboy instead of college, married a billionaire 62 years her senior, got on drugs and reality television, then died tragically young. I missed the Lifetime movie about Anna Nicole that aired last night. It got some awful reviews<\/a> but I want to see it anyway, just because I’m hypnotized by the creepy trailer scored with a slowed-down version of the song “Fame.”<\/p>\n
