If American presidential election law was different, and non-US born citizens were able to run for the highest office in the land, it is possible to imagine a scenario wherein California Governor and former A-list action-movie star Arnold Schwarzenegger would take his place among the Republican frontrunners (indeed, Republicans themselves often imagine this). However, if he did so, a certain statement he made a few years ago might come back to haunt him: specifically, the admission that he is “a major shoe queen”.

On the other hand, it might be less of a problem than one might expect. Increasingly, when it comes to men and shoes, it seems Schwarzenegger is not alone.
