Photography Book Project: Shoes

[draganin]

I have a shoot project underway at the moment that I'm looking for models & contributors to take part in.
It's knees & waists down only.... on shoes.

Oh my! I'd love to offer something just in case its useful... But you've opened pandora's box: I just realised I have so many shoe stories I might implode! *laughs

purple boots

i am not a shoe person. i spend 8 months out of the year in a pair of black chaco sandals, and i have the tan lines to prove it. these shoes were chosen for comfort and utility, not appearance. but i have a secret lust. an irrational and masochistic passion.

knee-high purple leather. 3 buckles, one across the toe, one at the ankle, one across the calf. and 4 inch cork wedge heels, which, though they make my calf muscles look amazing, they hurt me. badly. every time i wear them, my feet cramp and swell. they make standing for more than a few minutes into a kind of torture. my sensible self tried to sell them on ebay, and my girly self was secretly cheered when the sale didn't go through. they are everything that i am not: foolish, abusive, and sexy. and i love them.

See that's exactly the sort of story I love to hear!!

Too many people I mention this to are thinking immediately to their new, not yet worn in & pristine pretties. I want them all. The torn, too loved to throw out & still worn as well as their stories, not just the 'I wear these out on the town' shoes.

The boots sound like the type of shoes that you need to have shadow box framed & mounted on the wall XD

if only to keep them from hurting anyone again.. but i hate the idea that they sit in a box, unworn, their dao unrealised. surely, there's an experienced, heel-wearing sexy out there who would love them as much as i do, and actually have the nerve to wear them.

Hey there sexybum!
I already replied on your forum but I like commenting and im in a good mood so NER!
Besides i remembered another shoe story. I went to the beach in my pair of red converse boots and we climbed along a floor made of rocks with little pools full of shells n critters and i got soaked and my the shoes were dripping and stank of the sea but i had an awesome time. I still have them..rotting away somewhere.

Find them! We'll go to our beach & photograph them on the rocks there.
That is all amounts of awesome. XD

In year six, when I was 12 years old, punk and camo was definitely in. I think Britney spears had just become a big thing and the short-tied-shirt, low-riding cargo pants and big clunky boots phase was in, in, in

OMG TRAGIC!!! there's a special hell for people that deface sacred childhood memories. and i fear, your sister is that-hell-bound.

[draganin]

You killed your sister, right?
That's heinous.
I totally agree with tomecide - there is a special place in hell awaiting people that do things like that. [mourns the boots]

A funny tale and perhaps where i realised their days maybe numbered was during the festive period this year, we went to stay with my partners brother in switzerland and one may have thought that, you know, Alps, rock, snow, trees, conditions that make bearmen of europe and practical people of babies, and yet no i galalvanted there with only these as foot companions. It wasnt too terrible day to day, i would just skip as daintily away from snow as my lumbrous bony legs could take me, given they were already in deep disrepair and the sneaking cold intrusion of water into their inner confines was unwelcome and made for bad moods, so why i decided to accompany the family on a boldly stated excursion into the mountains was beyond me
