Sixties "tuck" part one

"The Tuck" didn't really catch on until the mid 70's, but early examples exist (and are of special interest to folks like me).   I'm guessing this New Orleans cemetery shoot was unauthorized (and that somebody opened the un-developed film cans when they shouldn't have).  IMO-this clip features "action-girls," while the clip below is a "leather-clad ass-kicking machine" despite only a tiny bit of leather.

"The Tuck" as seen in Dr Goldfoot and the Bikini Machine (1965)...with bits of the "leather-clad ass-kicking machine" thrown in.

Bootkrazy: Monique and Katherine in Over the Knee Leather boots

A while back I shared a youtube clip from BootKrazy. I finally took the plunge and purchased the video above. I'm a complete sucker for buckled leather OTK flats.  I used paypal and the process was quick and smooth. The video is high quality and as advertised.  I'm very happy with the purchase. I can strongly recommend going to their youtube channel or website and browsing around. If you find something you think you might like, go ahead and take the plunge. Quality stuff there.

From Oct 2013, Mostly Home Improvment stuff

A mixed bag, mostly HG-TV stuff, but note the delightful Katie Wagner wearing leather, buckled OTK flats (see one post above) from Wipeout. About the final third of this is an episode of Property Brothers featuring a booted mom and adult daughters rehabbing a house.  I first saw this episode in a hotel room on a trip with my wife. I had no way to record it at that time. To say that finding this episode became a major obsession of mine is an understatement. It was such a relief when it finally re-aired a few years later.

Lots of Michelle Beadle in this one. I think she's great and will NEVER understand why ESPN has always treated her so shabbily.

This is probably the first and last time I'll share bootage from The 700 Club. Certainly neither the first nor last time for DA.

Storage space and bench in one! With Katie Steiner at PEARL TV (January ...

Good Lord, Pearl.tv is distracting(previous post).  Their posted youtube videos are incomplete (and often 6 months old--summer in Germany is as bootless as summer in the US).  The best stuff is in the live feed, but it has to be monitored in real time.  I've figured out a way to get quality captures off the live feed (Windows Game Bar if you're curious) but doing so means I can't use my PC for anything else.  As I was writing this, the live feed started an exercise equipment segment with Anna-Kathrin wearing her suede knee-scrapers over shiny pants. I am powerless in the face of such bootage. So everything shuts down until they switch to something else. Consider Pearl.tv to be a continuously breaking story....the saga will continue.

BTW-I still harbor the delusion that Katie Steiner is really just a character created by SNL's Cecily Strong.

GABRIELLE TAYLOR AND KIRSTY HIGH HEEL REVIEW

Youtube has too many "heel" channels. Here's the best bit of one of them-



One more, same channel. Sure, two videos of beautiful women fawning over a pair of boots, including multiple pull-ons. And all I can do is complain there aren't more.

Every header I wrote was too mean

It appears to be a legal requirement that a member of the Kardashian clan be somewhere on the television  24 hours a day.  In order to feed the mill, we get work-out/make-over shows like Revenge Body.  This must be the circus, as I'm sure bread is too fattening. Pay no attention to the fire, just enjoy the fiddle tunes.

At the 2018 Kennedy Center Honors, Cyndi Lauper  performed in a....quirky...leather outfit of OTK'S and what appear to be bike shorts. And why not(insert generic girls-want-to-have-fun joke here)

It's not about Jason

For my wife, it's always about Jason Momoa, but for us it's about Heidi Gardner,  Kate McKinnon and Cecily Strong in a variety of bootage.

Marco 1973

Share marcoedit.vob - 221 MB
Marco (1973) was on TV a lot in the mid-to-late 70's and then completely disappeared. It was one of those movies I'd scan the TV guide (ask grandpa kids) for every week, just to enjoy Aimee Eccles rompin' stompin' warrior-girl performance. I let the final segment run to long, but notice how modern the role-swapping message is. The boots themselves are never sensational, but the nostalgia factor makes this special for me. I've grown weary of waiting for a proper HD release, so here is a primitive .vob file I made years ago. 

A reminder-Lost Girl

Share lostgirls01e04edit.avi - 133 MB
Journey back with me to the beginning of the decade. A magical time when it was quite reasonable to expect an "action girl" to wear a decent pair of knee-scraping boots. Here and below you'll find 3 clips and a link about 4 shows that simply, reliably and without much fuss delivered quality bootage on a weekly basis. I just realized I forgot to include a clip from Chuck (which probably provided the best heel action).
The downside of the current craze for stocking/legwarmer boots is that there doesn't seem to be the same day-to-day acceptance that we saw when the rider trend took off at the beginning of the decade. Wow, right now all I want to do is stare off into the clouds and do ANYTHING but try to finish this post.....That's a clear sign I need to hit "Publish" and move on.

A reminder-Nikita

Share nikitas01e22edit.avi - 141 MB
Of the shows we're looking at today, Nikita probably had the greatest variety of boots and outfits. Here's a simple leather fighting suit with a pair of knee-scraping flats that never required "stunt boots."

A reminder-Once Upon..

https://www12.zippyshare.com/v/4ZwIhDKe/file.html
Virtually every episode from the first few season's of Once Upon A Time contained some interesting bootage. But Jamie Chung's black leather Mulan "armor" was a standout.

A reminder-Seeker

This wraps up our look at the golden age of Action-girl TV.  The great and magnificent Noel has created an entire sub-blog devoted to Legend of the Seeker and the jaw-droppingly great Mord-Sith.  I could certainly not do any better, so here's a link-

A tip from a reader. FYI, I tend to share clips from individual youtubers on a case by case basis. The vast majority of you are respectful gentlemen who would NEVER creep on a young lady who's only on youtube to share fashion tips. The last thing I want to do is "lead wolves to the door." So remember, don't be jerk. Consider if it was your sister/mother/daughter and act accordingly.
