Every Sunday the Crazy Bitch Society invites friends, fans and followers to share their sexiest shoes on the CBS FB page in a fashion extravanza dubbed "Shoe Porn Sunday (TM)."

The result is a flurry of style and stillettos guaranteed to make shoe lovers salivate, as well as some of the wildest and whackiest footwear you've ever seen. Check out the Mother's Day 2012, selection in the five image galleries that follow... (The F#%k You shoes above were the day's most shared.)

“What do you think of this ad from Air New Zealand?”

The question, and a YouTube link, came from my friend Bebhinn Kelly, Chief Fashionista at www.hellwafashion.com, and a regular supplier of juicy, thought-provoking and sometimes controversial material for AWR.

I clicked. I watched. I pondered. I considered blogging. I demurred.

Motorcycles and our relationship with them have much to teach us, whether we ride or not.

The partnership of rider and machine when they join together in perfect harmony is like observing a beautiful dance that gives birth to power, strength, balance and positive change. 

Julia Ward Howe was born May 27, 1819, the fourth child of banker Samuel Ward and occasional poet Julia Rush Cutler. Among her siblings was Samuel Cutler Ward. Her father was a well-to-do banker.

Her mother, granddaughter of William Greene, Governor of Rhode Island and his wife Catharine Ray, died when Julia was five after having borne seven children by the age of 27.

“Our relationships with our mothers (and daughters) are not simple ones, are they?” quips The Warm Milk Journal in the understatement of the millennium on the Amazing Women Rock Facebook page.

The several dozen comments that follow (on my own page as well as that of the Crazy Bitch Society) flesh out the real-life experiences that lie behind her rhetorical question.

Moira Kelly (31 January 1964) is an Australian humanitarian worker. 

She is the legal guardian of four orphaned children: Trishna and Krishna Bangladeshi conjoined twins (since separated with surgery), and Iraqi-born Emmanuelle and Ahmed Mustafa who were found in a shoe box in a park.

Emmanuelle tells his story and sings on the XFactor in this video (warning: get tissues before watching, seriously): 

Mother Teresa (26 August 1910 – 5 September 1997), born Agnes Gonxha Bojaxhiu, was a Catholic nun of Albanian ethnicity and Indian citizenship, who founded the Missionaries of Charity in Kolkata, India in 1950.

For over 45 years she ministered to the poor, sick, orphaned, and dying, while guiding the Missionaries of Charity's expansion, first throughout India and then in other countries.

1) My Mother taught me about ANTICIPATION:
"Just wait until your father gets home."

2) My Mother taught me about RECEIVING:
"You are going to get it when we get home!

3) My Mother taught me to MEET A CHALLENGE:
"What were you thinking? Answer me when I talk to you ...Don't talk back to me!"

We need to teach our daughters to distinguish between:

A man that flatters her, and a man who complements her;

A man who spends money on her, and a man who invests in her;

A man who views her as property, and a man who views her properly;

Why do we hold ourselves hostage to rules that don’t really even exist?  Day after day we play out conforming to rules that we ourselves have created which only hold us back.

Some of these “rules” have been instilled into us.  Not only by our upbringing and influences, also by our society and the media.  We follow them habitually never giving much thought to if they make sense to what is right for us as individuals.
