From Switchblade Sisters (1975) Joanne Nail's suede thigh boots are AWESOME and Robbie Lee's leather knee boots add some interest. This is a girl-gang classic.



If you were a video store regular back in the day, you certainly should remember Switchblade Sisters. As I recall, Joanne's thighboots were prominently displayed on the box.  Trimming it again, I was surprised how brief the initial fight scene is. In my VHS compilation I repeated those scenes so many times it seemed like the scene went on for minutes. I have always had mixed emotions about this movie. After a brilliant start, Joanne abandons her thigh boots and micro-denim for a dreary espadrille and slacks combo. Still the complete movie is an enjoyable exercise in over-the-top cross genre exploitation trash.

  2. Joanne Nail was in a Rockford Files episode called Dog and Pony Show, where she wears boots with dresses and over jeans. It's on Youtube but quality is not very good (plus who resizes videos to make them smaller?). https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=v43ISc-uuZ8
