Tucked into boots...Ahead of their time

From  Abigail Lesley Is Back in Town (1975). Thankfully the best bits (for us anyway) of this Joe Sarno soft-core classic are all safe for work. I did trim out the scene on the bed for the youtube version. While it is suggestive, it is not explicit. But Youtube's community guidelines specifically mention activities on a bed as being potentially problematic, so......consider the extra minute a zippy-share bonus.
Back to the boots.  As noted boot historian AndyP and I have discussed, the 70's style platform boot was much more common in England and Europe than the U.S. and there were some differences between the English and American styles.  The boots in this American production are almost Mid-Atlantic, sharing some characteristics of both, but the knee-grazing shaft height is more English.
The boots alone, while quite nice, are not as extraordinary as the way they're worn in the final scenes. Traditionally these boots were worn with skirts, hot-pants or under high-cuffed jeans. It is quite rare to see these boots worn over tight jeans, especially as early as 1975. I don't know what, if anything, this means, but I know I REALLY like it. I do think it's worth noting that the outfit she's wearing on the sand dunes would have looked current and stylish in 2010, a mere 35 years after the movie was filmed.
