What were your first thoughts when you found out there was a Blog called “The Appreciation of Booted Newswomen”?
21
22
I was definitely intrigued. I had no idea so many newswomen wore boots! When I first learned about the blog it had four million views and growing. Now it’s already up to more than five million – wow!!

What do you think of the Blog? Have you had a chance to look at it much? If so, have you looked to see what other women in the television industry are wearing, not only in boots, but in clothes in general?

I love the blog! I think a lot of people picture newswomen as wearing your typical pantsuit and heels, but it’s great to see that we can be well-informed, professional, and fashionable all at once. The blog covers women all around the country – from independent journalists like me all the way up to the women on network news. It’s really fun to see what different women are wearing – and I’ve even found one of my old coworkers on the blog, which was really neat!

It’s well known to our readers that the Blog sent you two pairs of Boots. You wore a pair of off-White Over the Knee Boots during a series of TYT University videos. There was a lot of negative reaction from TYTU viewers about those Boots. What did you think of that reaction?

Oh gosh, that was so funny. First of all, thank you again for the boots! I love both pairs (even the ones that got criticized on TYTU). To be honest, those white boots look great in person, but the camera just didn’t do them justice. Working in the media (especially online, where people have the ability to comment) is a big lesson in self-esteem and in social psychology. People are willing to say some really mean and hateful things online, but at the end of the day you just have to let it roll off your shoulders. My view of comments like that is – it’s their problem, not mine.

A Couple Of New Shows To Look Forward To
Karen Drew is second from right
Kelsey Soby is on the left
Both of these shows sound like they could have formats that will have the ladies spending more time on the couch and not behind giant news sets. That, of course, opens up lots of Booted opportunities. Being more of a hip entertainment show, "On the Fly" on WFTC, may mean that Kelsey Soby breaks out the trendier, taller Boots on air.
Let's keep our fingers crossed on that one!!
THE BOOTED BUNCH
WCCO-TV in Minneapolis had a banner Boot Season with 12 different news ladies making an appearance on the Blog. They are an easy nomination for the
Booted News Station of the Year Award
