WARNING: No laughter or tickling in this post, sorry 😦 …strictly foot fetishism. Will get back to tickling and laughter soon enough. Until then, hope you enjoy this female foot diversion 🙂 👣
Summer in Spring is invigorating.
That is if Summer is Summer Brennan 🙂 (see below):
In my very usual, very casual, sort of nonchalant, serendipitous, ‘Hey, let’s peruse the NPR news feed’ kind of way, I happened upon this beautiful author telling her beautiful story to Ms. Mary Louise Kelly a few days ago.
Summer was promoting her new book, High Heel, about the iconic, undeniably sexy footwear we all know and are exposed to on a daily basis around this beautiful globe.
Summer’s soft, sensuous voice talking to you about her experiences in these sexy foot adornments is arresting to say the least.
I so wanted her to describe how her feet felt at the end of long days at the U.N. longing for someone, anyone, a cute intern, to rub her sore achilles tendons and arches at her desk after a hard day’s work.
Alas, my radio interview fantasies didn’t come to pass, but I still think the below link will be a true treat for all you foot fetish fans:
Once I recovered from Summer’s lovely experiences in heels, the heel concept got me going down a bit of a rabbit-hole, if you will, for other news stories involving these delightful shoes.
The link below has an interesting anecdote at 1 min and 10 sec where the lovely New York Historical Society’s museum curator, Valerie Paley, (see picture below) is describing one particular 1838 ballet slipper in the Weitzman exhibit, Walk This Way, as PURPOSELY designed in an absolutely rigid, and straight fashion.

Why you ask?
Valerie explains in her own soft, sensuous voice that at the time it was considered ‘too erotic to show the delineation of [a woman’s] foot.’
As we can see above, Valerie has thankfully not listened to her 1838 critics, and her own delineation eroticism is forthcoming 🙂
Thank you, Valerie! 🙂 You look amazing in general, and INCREDIBLY amazing in those shoes! 🙂
If you’re ever in the Monterey Bay Area, drop me a note.
I’ll be happy to help relieve you of any aches and pains those gorgeous heels are having on you and, what have to be, gorgeous feet and toes.
Seriously, email me 🙂
The interviewer, Susan Stamberg, then chimes in with Valerie with an, ‘Ohhhh, the cuuurve, of the instep!’
And Valerie adds, ‘And the side of your toes.’
Erotic, indeed, ladies.
Erotic, in…deed.
Those 19th century folks were definitely on to something about below the female ankle cause and effect 🙂
Finally, there’s the vending machine story (see below):
https://www.npr.org/templates/story/story.php?storyId=130585221
Apparently after a night of dancing in your sexy stilettos , you can swap those spiky heels out for some ballerina shoes that come straight out of a vending machine!
They even come with a little bag for your heels.
This mother of invention idea must have come from a woman who’d spent too many times walking home barefoot from the clubs and wedding parties with aching feet.
As foot fetishists, I think we’re probably missing out on a grand opportunity here, are we not?
Is there an elephant in the room?
Apparently there are enough women with aching tired feet willing to drop $10-$20 at vending machines for some rather simple, not very supportive, coverings for their aching barefeet to walk home in.
Why aren’t we there for these poor women to offer them a value-added support proposition like the one below?
‘Ummm, Ms., I, uhhh, couldn’t help but notice that you said you’re…FEET are aching…and you’re going to just put these rather unsupportive ballerina shoes out of this vending machine onto your tired aching bare feet for the walk home. I don’t know you from Adam, but, if you’re interested, there’s good science to show that just a 3-5 minute foot massage after being in heels for hours can quickly repair much of the damage done to your bare feet while wearing those gorgeous shoes you have there. I’d be happy to give you and your friends a quick 3 minute foot massage right here in the train station to help you all before you head back home. No pressure of course. Just a thought.’
What do you think?
Too creepy?
Too pushy?
Too something else?
Just throwing out some darts to see what sticks.
Regardless, apparently there are enough women out there in their high heels in need of serious late night foot relief, and it seems a shame that there aren’t cadres of us foot fetishists out there to meet this demand 🙂
I think we can make this happen 🙂
What do you think about high heels on women?
Drive you crazy like the photo below does me?
