w.e.e. live from ny…it’s cgi!
The Heels of the Hire variety are curiously clacking
in the halls of The 5th Annual Clinton Global
Initiative (CGI) in New York City to feast on a buffet
of knowledge, innovation and wisdom imparted by
more than 60 current and former heads of state and
private sector moguls. Think: E-Harmony for NGOs,
CEOs and ‘E’GOs on viagra, power-courting in
hopes of break-through sex…errr, sorry, I meant
breakout sessions.

Indeed Princess finds herself embedded in the very
press corps that once kicked Hillary Clinton to the
curb during the 2008 election. But I digress. This
year HireHeels is covering the entire event so that we
plug in to the very issues affecting Women around
the globe.
If you’ve been following our journey, you’re well
aware of the highs and lows… from slapping Chris
Matthews live on MSNBC’s Hardball to debating Fox’
s Neil Cavuto, we’ll take any pot-holed terrain that
threatens to destroy our sister-heels…not only here
in America’s power-chick capital, but also in places as
remote as Rwanda and Congo.
Rumor has it that CGI is exploring an ALL-CHICK
CGI. Some may call that reverse sexism but after
scanning the sea of empty seats at today’s “Investing
in Women and Girls” Opening Plenary session, it is
clear to me that this topic, to use Bill’s words earlier,
isn’t always sexy enough to take root. Have no fear…
HireHeels is here…with more to come on W.E.E.
(Women’s Economic Empowerment) and others
issues.
Meanwhile, you can plug into CGI’s vibrant vibe via
the streaming video (or pre-recorded sessions) in
Shoe-Tube. Princess is far from satiatied but will try
to share as much blister-free commentary as possible
with splashing, tweeting and posting along the way.
