Republican Virginia Lt. Governor Winsome Sears pulled off one hell of a fashion move Monday when her gavel went missing and she ended up using her high heel pump instead.
“@WinsomeSears gaveled Virginia Senate to order with high-heeled patent leather pump after an unknown prankster hid her gavel,” a tweet shared by Sears from a Washington Post reporter read.
“She took the trick in stride: ‘One shoe can change your life. Just ask Cinderella,'” the tweet added, noting comments from Sears. (RELATED: Newt Gingrich: ‘Youngkin Will Win Virginia Election Because ‘He Is Talking About Real Life’ While McAuliffe ‘Is Lost In A World Of Fantasy’)

“I’m from another country, another culture,” Sears, the Jamaican-born, told NPR after winning. “But here I am. I see racism as one more hurdle in life.”
“Slavery happened, absolutely,” she added. “And there are some vestiges of it. But how long are we going to go back there?”
