He LIVES....

.......well what passes for living anyway.

Sorry for the extended break.  Things have been a little crazy in my real life, but I am well.  Back in March I just kinda got out of the mood. I told myself I'd start posting again "when I felt like it." I'm not sure if I "feel like it" yet.  Obviously, I am still obsessively collecting boot media. I hope to return to regular posting at sometime in the near future. I'm just not sure when.  Sorry for any inconvenience or disappointment.

I'll be back when I'm back,

  5. You have to keep posting. All alternative sites/blogs are trash compared to yours. Much better quality and perfectly cut together.

  8. The important thing is that you're OK Bruce. It's suddenly gone a bit quiet on the boot forum sites at the moment, which means less time wasted on the Internet!

  27. Hello Bruce :

    I am also a Boot Lover and I don't know if I ever sent you this : The ThighBoot Phenomenon


    My own theory about Boots as Women’s fashion is that Boots are likely
    to be worn during Progressive periods. Women choose to wear Boots as
    a symbol of Power. They are, after all, the footwear of choice for
    dominatrixes and superheroines.

    In the early part of the twentieth century, Boots went out of fashion
    more or less as soon as Prohibition started. The style didn’t come
    back into popularity until the very Progressive sixties.

    As a life-long Boot fetishist, I have also studied the history of the
    ThighBoot, or Thigh-high Boot ( as well as the Over the Knee Boot ) as
    Women’s fashion. The first examples were found in the early sixties
    at the Paris fashion shows. These were derided as ‘sewer boots’ by
    some, but obviously made a huge impression on others. These included
    the wardrobe designer Michael Whittaker of the TV series ‘The
    Avengers’, in which Honor Blackman, as Cathy Gale, appeared in truly
    knee-high Black Leather Boots. As well as a full black leather outfit
    to match. For the year 1963, this was pretty shocking television. In
    February of 1964, Blackman and Patrick Macnee ( John Steed ) would
    release the hit single 'Kinky Boots'. KB mentioned every possible
    style of women's boot, including Thigh-highs.

    In the U. S. , the Thigh-high style really took off in 1965, some say
    as a result of the success of the then blockbuster film ‘Dr.
    Zhivago’. From the second half of the sixties and especially
    throughout the seventies, ThighBoots ( even Thigh-high Frye Boots )
    were a must-have in a Woman’s footwear collection. Many of the era’s
    actresses, including Faye Dunaway, Jamie Lee Curtis, Jane Fonda,
    Dianna Rigg, Sally Fields and Rachel Welsh would often appear on film
    in tall or over the knee boots.

    Thigh-highs were to stay fashionable until the year 1980. Right at
    the time when Progressivism was in freefall and Reagan and
    Conservatism began to Rule. Anyone stating that thigh-highs were
    still part of the fashion scene in the ’80’s might wish to review
    footware of that decade. In 1980, the de rigueur style was ankle-low
    and flat-heeled. In anything, the popularity of Punk meant that
    combat boots were also the new sensation. Along with, of course (
    yawn ), leg warmers.

    Today, the longevity of the ThighBoots style is likely primarily a
    result of the explosion of Adult images on the web, particularly the
    number in which the female subjects are clad in over-the-knee
    footwear. In addition, the oughts have been a decade in which
    conservatism has been in ever increasing retreat, especially with the
    election of Obama.

    Keep it tight ( or at least secure ),
    Boots and Bondage Bohemian

  30. Looking for Mr. Goodbar was uncut on TCM last night. Never seen anything but an edited version. Diane Keaton was wearing quintessential 70's boots throughout, at least 4 pairs I could see, including a great sex scene (but brief) that she leaves them on.
