The election gets stylish
Show your political affiliation with your, um, choice of bedroom footwear. Hey, it’s cooler than having a candidate pin tacked onto your coat 24-7.
High-end slipper manufacturer Stubbs & Wootton has made black velvet slippers picturing Thomas Nast’s cartoon Republican elephant or Democratic donkey — depending on your party. The slippers are definitely pricey ($350), but true politico fashionistas will at least consider dropping three-and-a-half Benjamins in the name of style.
And, if your candidate doesn’t make it all the way, try the company’s “Broken Heart” model.
