So can anyone tell me…did a movie come out this weekend?

Just so you know, there will be no spoilers in this blog, so read with confidence, I will give nothing away. I was made acutely aware of how passionate people feel about Stars Wars when I was at a holiday party last night and was discussing the movie with a friend. We were reprimanded for talking about the movie –out in pubic where others could possibly hear us. If we choose to discuss the movie we were instructed to take it outside in the rain (yes it was raining in Los Angeles- it happens). I now understand the resentment smokers must feel when banished outside to participate in their unsavory habit. I hate cigarettes. Please, I’m a native Californian it is part of our native by-laws to hate cigarette smoke. But next time I pass a smoker standing outside alone in the rain I will have a sympathetic smile.

Anyhow, what I like best about all the Star Wars hoopla is that people, whole families, all of social media for at least a few days was stirred up and excited about something fun. I saw hundreds of people walking about with lightsabers. It is a nice reprieve from guns, hatred of any/all types international and local, Donald Trump and anything Kardashian.

A friend sent me this photo the day before the movie came out. He knows I love shoes and action-adventure movies. Many a movie has influenced fashions. For example there wasn’t a formal or prom dress the year Indecent Proposal came out that didn’t mimic Demi Moore’s stunning black dress from that movie.  However, the fashion influence is usually after the movie has come out, not before. That is how popular Stars Wars is; it’s having a reverse fashion influence.

What I need to know is, would the force be strong with me while wearing them? I bet in these shoes I could find anyone, even a Jedi.
