VIXEN "Rev It Up" - live 2016 in Edmonton, Alberta, Canada


If you remember Vixen, you know why this is here.  If you're too young to remember this might look like your mom's older sister dressed up in heavy metal gear, but I think they're holding up pretty well. Sadly, guitarist Jan K (my favorite in the band) passed a few years back, but the singer has picked up the over-the-knee torch. Here's some more, there are a bunch out there-

NOPE!

Stumbled across this still from this week's The Walking Dead.......Nope, leather knee patches on her pants, paired with pretty standard combat ankle boots. But for a second there.....

Just until an HD version shows up

Wow, I had kind of lost track of this clip I made way back in 2008. Twin Daggers (2006) is a pretty horrible chop-socky action flick saved by the brief appearance of a leather-clad ass-kicker.  I've got a line on an HD version of this, but just in case here's a DVD rip.  After a seductive dance, she reveals she has a stiletto blade in the toe of her black leather knee-scrapers. 

A Hunting Girl from my past

When I was but a young boy, there was TV show that would present "foreign" children's movies dubbed into English. About 40 years ago they aired a movie about a princess who dressed briefly as a hunting girl and featured a close-up of her boots descending a ladder.  That image stuck with me, but I never dreamed I would ever see it again. Imagine my surprise when I stumbled across it quite by accident. Her boots are nowhere near as nice as I remembered, but her buckled and gloved leather outfit is quite nice. Here is Tři oříšky pro Popelku (Three Nuts for Cinderella) from 1973. 

Twiggy, 70's Stylin'

Poor camera work (and music) in this 1978 Top of the Pops performance by 60's icon Twiggy mars our enjoyment of her classic 70's OTK's.

Found a possibly different youtube version here-
