Subject: Fw: Meet The ‘Vogue’ Writer Who Criticized the First Lady’s Shoes

Lynn Yaeger, Contributing Fashion Editor at Vogue, criticized the First Lady for wearing stiletto heels before boarding Air Force One to travel to Texas with the President in the wake of Hurricane Harvey.

Ms. Yaeger wrote: “This morning, Mrs. Trump boarded Air Force One wearing a pair of towering pointy-toed snakeskin heels better suited to a shopping afternoon on Madison Avenue or a girls’ luncheon at La Grenouille.”

In her article Lynn Yaeger remained critical of the First Lady even after she was told by a spokesperson that the First Lady had a change of shoes awaiting her on the plane, when she wrote this: “What kind of message does a fly-in visit from a First Lady in sky-high stilettos send to those suffering the enormous hardship, the devastation of this natural disaster?”

When Mrs. Trump did de-plane in Texas she was photographed wearing sensible sneakers.
