1950’s brothel creepers to 1960’s winklepickers

Pardon my naivete, but I have no clue what winklepickers are. We'll see if this thread brings out any foot fetishists.

Heheh - funny girl.

Here's a pair of George Cox(?) Brothel Creepers.

Fetish required for these guys.

Blubba sighting, and faux Republican Bloomberg dines with the devil:

JIMMY Rodriguez hit the trifecta Wednesday. He was at his new restaurant, Jimmy's Downtown, chatting with ex-President Bill Clinton and Texas senatorial candidate Ron Kirk when his cell phone rang. "Come to Harlem immediately," he was told. "The mayor is sitting down to dinner." Jimmy raced from East 57th Street to Jimmy's Uptown on West 130th, where Mike Bloomberg was eating with Democratic National chairman Terry McAuliffe. Page Six.

Gag - at least Kirk is smart enough to not try and get money from Texas, and you know that bent will not part with a penny of his own jack.

Do we, or should we know Jimmy Rodriguez? Is this a stage name?

Morning Gran - good grief, I'd completely forgotten Earth Shoes. Yikes. You know we're dating ourselves on this one. ;-)

I don't know when Earth Shoes originated, but they didn't hit Oklahoma until around the mid-70s, when I was in college. Groovy.

And in other news, liberal newspaper writers and other "journalists" unapologetically donate to Robert Reich's campaign, story here in Boston Globe. Quote: "Sandra Constantine, a general assignment reporter in the Holyoke bureau of the Springfield, Mass., Union-News, gave Reich $20 but said she wished she could contribute more. ''I'm just a liberal,'' Constantine said. ''Another one of those liberals in the media.''

No mention of Candies either. They were HOT when I was about 16.

Come to think of it, the history of shoes would have to be an entire website to fit all the different shoes over just the 20th century.

And another site just for the ones in HLL's closet! :-)

Hee, hee

For an elegant night out, how about the Swordfish Harness Shoe:


This is a slick, low cut harness style slip on with a nod to the eighties. Its patented toe is a longtime favourite of Fluevogdom and continues to gain in popularity. It's a wicked style with a handcrafted feel. Handmade in England with the highest quality of materials. Don't Delay, Fluevog Today!

Russian Experts Pan 'K-19' Movie

MOSCOW –– The new Harrison Ford submarine thriller "K-19: The Widowmaker" hasn't yet hit Russian cinemas, but it's already getting panned by experts here who advised the film that opens nationwide Friday in the United States.

Directed by Kathryn Bigelow and co-starring Liam Neeson, the movie is based on a 1961 accident on board a Russian nuclear submarine that came close to a Chernobyl-style meltdown in the North Atlantic. WashCompost

Seems Russian veterans will sue over their portrayal in the movie.

Remember the age of "waffle-stompers"??? How feminine!

What I want to know is who decided to add (and raise thereafter) heels? Probably some misogynist!
