Nice boots....
4/7/2006 1:16 am Last Read: |
So I decided, since I now live in a place where I can get away with looking a bit freaky, it was time to pull out my shoe collection - which has been sitting in a box collecting spiders until now. I love boots. I'm not a high heel girl as I can't walk in the things and I really don't need to be any taller than I am. Stilettoes do me no favours and I always feel like I'm clumping about like an elephant on toothpick stilts. I know people have this huge boot fixation without truly understanding what a bitch they are to wear, but I prefer comfort over looks - which isn't to say I don't like a bit of flash! I adore boots, and always have. I usually try to stock up in winter for boots to wear during summertime when everyone else is wearing sandals, but again I'm in the UK and shoes rarely fit, if ever. I found some New Rocks a few years ago. They were one of a kind and I believe are actually men's shoes. I loved the things and bought them impulsively as I was so happy to find boots that FIT, I couldn't resist. I've worn them all of three times since then, as they tend to rub against my heel and can be a bit uncomfortable for long wear. But I have purple boots, dammit! I've also a pair of some Victorian boots I ordered from the US. I adore those boots with a passion and they're my "dress boots" for going out in Victorian dress or to masked balls when I attend them. They tend to need the soles replaced quite often but they're as close as I can get to the button Victorian boot without having to do a Louis heel - something I'm certain I'd snap off as I've never mastered the walking-on-toothpicks method. I've also got a pair of flapper shoes a burlesque-dancer friend of mine sent to me from the US. I've yet to wear these as I tried them on when I was still pregnant and bloaty and just figured they'd never fit. Now is a different story, however. They're brilliant, very pin-up girl. Just need a proper pair of backseam stockings for the things! Boots are a big thing in the BDSM scene. In some instances, I've often felt I should just toss a pair of them to the crowd and let them do as they will, as some subs seemed to be staring at my footwear and nothing else. I was just an accessory to my boots. I don't like getting overly hung up on my apparel to please various fetishes. In actuality I've been known to wear the opposite of what people thought I "should" be wearing; chokers, for example. I love chokers, but they're for "marking territory". I also am very fond of bells at the ankles, which supposedly is another "slave" trapping. So my boots I think are an extension of that. I think stiletto pointy shoes and boots look quite nice and dramatic, but I don't think not owning any of the things makes me less of a alternative styler. Any insistence I have to possess a pair of spiky footwear is usually met with a bit of suspicion on my part. There's more to kink than leather and heels. Besides...aren't you in it for the person I am, and not what I'm wearing? But a sistah won't complain if you buy her a pair of boots, y0. |
