Darien’s Manliest — Cops, Firefighters — to Parade in Red High Heels
|
Yes, you read that headline right: They’ve agreed to walk in high heels — red ones — perhaps a mile up and down the Post Road. The uniformed forces of Darien’s male-dominated fire and police departments (together with Darien EMS-Post 53) will be donning red women’s high heels (OK, in some cases red sneakers for those too chicken concerned about foot damage) on Saturday, Oct. 3. The “Walk a Mile in Her Shoes” event is being organized by the Darien Domestic Violence Partnership as a way to grab the public’s attention and inform people about domestic violence. In the past, the group has sponsored butterfly release events, but for this year it’s turning to the walk (which has been done elsewhere in recent years).
