Anyone who knows me well most likely remembers my AIDS activist days in the 80’s (you can read a bit about my experience HERE.) Anyone who knows me from the 80’s has also probably seen me spend a significant amount of time running around in red stilettos.
When I saw an ad for The Red Pump Project, I was in. Shoes and AIDS. Two things I am passionate about. The project has asked bloggers to Rock the Red Pump on their blog today. You can see the banner in my side bar on the right. So I am rocking these red stiletto sugar cookies in honor of the day.
The goal of the project to is raise awareness about the impact of HIV/AIDS among women and girls. HERE is a link to Red Pump events around the country surrounding National Women and Girls HIV/AIDS Awareness Day.
From the The Red Pump Project’s site:
While progress has definitely been made in the areas of AIDS prevention and treatment, women still represent 27% of all new AIDS diagnoses, with African-American women accounting for 66% of that group.
Even if you are lucky enough to not have AIDS touch your life in any way, consider a donation, encourage someone to get tested, and support all the women in your lives from young ladies to senior citizens to educate themselves.

You know this touches me. I wish I would have known about it. Let's do it again in December. Of course it goes without saying that these are spectacular.
Absolutely fabulous daaahling! Right up my alley (when I lived in SF I volunteered at an AIDS hospice, which was a tough but very worthwhile way of spending my Sunday mornings) and LOVE the colour!
Such fun looking cookies for such a worthy cause. Great job!
You've not only inspired me to donate to the cause but to get over my fear of high heels. These cookies are gorgeous!
pretty cookies for a worthy cause. I love the different types of toppings you put on these stilletos!
