Just some guy obsessed with women wearing boots. Here you'll find all sorts of mostly safe-for-work bootage. The emphasis is on booted women in the popular media.
I've been digging around the internet. There's actually a pretty active community of former Soul Train dancers, including this woman here, whose name is Sally Achenbach (she's very public, so I'm not outing her or anything). She was evidently known as "Sally from the Valley" (the show was taped in L.A. in those years).
The woman I noted in my other Soul Train comments is indeed named Barbara, but she's much more obscure and doesn't seem to be involved in Soul Train reunions, etc. She was known as "Barbara the Cuban Barbie."
In the later portion of the brief run of "The Party Machine," there was a "regular" dancer who was also perhaps Latina and wore TERRIFIC, high quality black, leather thigh highs. In one episode that I remember, Nia Peeples "interviewed" her briefly. I think she was wearing a lacy bustier, short skirt, gloves and those boots, which the camera panned up and down. She said her name in the little interview, but I don't recall it. She was something out of a fantasy to me.
Anyhow ... perhaps there are people of my age and my memories who also really enjoyed that era (late 1980s, early 1990s). When they changed the set for Soul Train, and then Don Cornelius stopped hosting, I stopped taping & watching, mainly because the boots were so much less frequent (probably as much due to changes in club fashion than changes to the show's format).
Thanks John Smith for that video thats the girl I remember fondly. Always wore black pants with black boots almost every episode. I must have 10 video cassettes of her work. Oh wait that doesnt sound right does it????!!!!!! Oh goodness I really need a filter.
We must be about the same age because I was thinking about the change in set, what I didnt remember was that every dude seems to be dressed like MC Hammer. Stop It's Hammer Time
Wow! Great indeed.
ReplyDeleteI won't stay on this long, but another classic (to me) Soul Train dancer at 1:23 mark here:

She wore those boots a lot, and frequently leather gloves too.
I seriously need to dig out my VHS tapes.
