Hailee Steinfeld on Kelly Clarkson

Hailee Steinfeld is still pretty reliably bootie, as she proved in these (close enough for me) suede thighboots on a Nov 1 appearance on The Kelly Clarkson Show.  On the other hand, you can rely on Kelly to wear one of her closet full of clunky, platform ankle shoes(this time under "leather" pants).  It appears you can also rely on Hailee to sit VERY still during interviews. Two Youtube links to the official channel are below.  Oh, FYI, no appreciable boots in "Dickinson."

Now, this is the stuff right here. From The Au Pair Girls (1972). Clearly the shoe store scene is the star, but the additional bootage isn't bad.  The yellow, platform knee-scrapers she's trying on are of particular interest. For quite a while now, AndyP and I have been exploring the trans-Atlantic differences in 60's and 70's boot styles. I can say with confidence that this yellow pair is as clearly English as any pair you'll find.  The toe alone is quintessentially 70's English.  When considered with the scallop over the kneecap, the platform (nice blue detail) and shaft, this boot is textbook "Benny Who." If you're new here, my lazy-man nomenclature names many boot styles by the TV shows they appeared in. This style was common in The Benny Hill Show and Dr Who, hence "Benny Who."
By way of contrast, the swing-set knee boots are mid-Atlantic, while the suede bedroom knee-scrapers are still somewhat English, but lack the extreme detail of the shoe-store platforms.

Big Mix

From Al Rojo Vivo con María Celeste NOT Maria Celeste in leather thighboots, a guest in thighboots sits with Maria, a guest on Live with Kelly shows her how it should be done and from Un Nuevo Día, Ana María Canseco pairs "leather" pants with her killer platform-y leather knee boots.

3 notes about the clip from Live With Kelly. Prior to this season I wondered if many women would go to the trouble of wearing thighboots that were virtually indistinguishable from their pants-Yes they will. AND, one of the great frustrations of this year (particularity with the shows shot in New York) is how often the studio audience was better booted than the on-air talent. Finally, the low-heeled version of the current fabric thighboot is quite similar to the "Club MTV boot" (a suede sock with a rubber flap glued to the bottom). I have gone on record saying the "Club MTV boot" holds little interest to me.....draw whatever conclusions you choose from this statement.

White Boots in Hairspray

Ariana Grande dances in shiny, white platform knee-scrapers. From the televised version of Hairspray. This year, any boot with a hit of gloss was a welcome change.

Lady Gaga - John Wayne

In case you missed it, Stefani Germanotta struts about in a couple pairs of highboots, and pretends to shoot bullets out of the 10 inch heel of her red, platform crotch-highs.

Boots for Swingers

Badly spaced keyframes makes this cut of Swingin' Swappers (1973)longer than it should be, but we still see a nice pair of "Benny Who" platform's and some suede OTK's that pre-date Highland/Lowlands by about 40 years.

Annie & Whoopie

http://www35.zippyshare.com/v/QUt3L40x/file.html
On Hollywood Today Live, actress Annie Potts wears a pair of suede OTK flats. Nothing particularly surprising there. Last week on The View Whoopie Goldberg wore blue and white thigh-high platform boots. That's a bit of surprise. Sadly the walk-out was preempted by storm coverage and they never got out from behind the table. I've actually got several Whoopie clips where she's wearing cartoonish boots of this nature.  I don't try to understand it.

 From Americathon (1979) John Ritter anxiously  removes her gold platform knee scraping boots. Actually kinda funny.


Have you ever started a project and about half way through realized you'd made a horrible miscalculation?  I thought I had about 10 or 15 videos from the early days of my youtube channel that I posted before I started this blog.  I thought I'd give them the "full blog" treatment (thumbs, zippyshare, etc) just so they'd have a place here.  I know there are a number of people who might have missed them when I posted them to boots-n-heels. I figured I'd get the list together and it would be an easy, nostalgic day that would help mark my blog's first full year. It would have been quick and easy if my guesstimate hadn't been way off the mark. It wasn't 10 or 15 orphaned videos, its 59!  I won't be putting all 59 up and once and I will be noting them as quasi-reposts with the line-
"From the early days of my youtube channel, now getting the "full blog" treatment." If you've been with me from the start, you've probably already seen them.

Vintage Boots, Pedal Pumping, Furs

http://www29.zippyshare.com/v/egUnQk00/file.html
From La padrina (1973) We see a pair of platform-y knee scraping boots panic-pump the break pedal and briefly see a hot pants, OTK, fur combo.
