.......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,
B

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

ReplyDeleteThe 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!

Hello Bruce :
ReplyDeleteI 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
can you explain - what has Dr Zhivago got to do with the popularity of thigh high boots ?

ReplyDeleteLooking 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.
