Today I was interviewed for an article about personal safety for Cosmo. She asked me how I felt about women wearing high heels in regards to safety. I was like, “I feel great about it…I mean, seriously…can you think of a better improvised weapon?!” She was like, “Oh yeah…”
The article will run in the October issue, hitting newsstands in mid-September. Stay tuned.

Actually I can.
I don’t agree with you about high heels being great. Do you really think that if you’re attacked you’ll have time to take off your heel and use it as a weapon?
Even if you could, a bad guy would see it coming plus heels bust off pretty easily upon impact and a high heel shoe doesn’t have much weight or mass or reach.
You’d be better off surprising an attacker with a heavy purse or briefcase or laptop or a stick on the street.
If you want to learn about improvised weapons do a google search or go to a martial arts forum where these topics are intelligently discussed.
Speaking of improvised weapons, can I borrow The Gift of Fear from you when I get back?
You betcha! It’s a great read.
