They'd be thigh boots if she un-cuffed them

From Il provinciale (1971). She wears a pair of suede boots that would be thigh high.....if she uncuffed them. A very nice zipper scene starts at around :54.

Carey Mulligan, briefly in fetching riding attire

From Far From the Madding Crowd (2015) Carey starts the movie in a GREAT leather jacket with britches and boots. Then she spends the rest of the movie in a long dress.


I downloaded a small version of this based entirely on a still of that buttery leather jacket. I was so thrilled by the opening scene that I quickly downloaded a huge HD version before I sampled the rest of the movie. I was crushed that this outfit was never seen after the first 2 minutes. Still worth it though.

A Good Year for Gotham?

Now that I have your attention.

While I am unlikely to forgive Gotham for casting a 14-year-old as the future Catwoman, the character of Tabitha will certainly keep my interest. The previews for this season promised a leather-clad whip-wielder.  As we see in the season 2 opener, she is a fully ripened psychopath (see note below).  TV shows have broken my heart before, but right now she is perfect. Great leather outfit, keeps a knife in the top of her thigh high boots, sexy and merciless. Life has taught me that the benefit of pessimism is that all of your surprises are pleasant ones.  I full expect the show runners to ruin this for me somehow.  But I'll be watching every week until they do.

Sorry, no youtube

Off-topic note-we saw the entertaining mobster saga Black Mass last week. Whitey Bulger is offhandedly described as a "ripened psychopath."  This is a BRILLIANT phrase that actually seems to have been coined by the FBI-report/book/film. A google search shows that many reviewers recognized the inherent awesomeness of "ripened psychopath" and used it as a pull quote.   I like playing with words and that phrase is swell!

Thigh Boots? Probably not.

A couple of days ago I shared a video of Fifth Harmony on James Cordon's show. At the time I suspected they might be wearing some sort of stockings/faux boots. I've found a better version and I think my fears are confirmed. They are a superior example of the faux boot, but that's like an above average imitation cheese(still pretty much inedible). In fact, if it were not for some suspicious activity around the foot, I would think these are proper boots.  These are good enough that I wouldn't be completely surprised if they happened to be actual boots, but......you can judge for yourself.

Sorry no youtube
