Shoe, shoes, shoes… why do I love to wear them, buy them, or just look at them????
The first suggestion of foot coverings appeared in rock paintings from the late Palaeolithic period (15,000 years ago).
The oldest surviving examples of papyrus sandals are exhibited in the British Museum and dated at 1,500 BC. But are they merely a form of protection??
Shoes to me are theatre. Shoes turn you into someone else. You can't be a dominatrix in a sneaker. If you are in a high heel, you are in pain, and you are going to make someone pay for it! Then there is the drag queen who puts on a high platform heel, and he becomes she. You know women who will kill for the right shoe? There are men, too! You put on heels, and suddenly you are six inches higher!!. Who doesn't want to be six inches taller? Even men—more men than you can imagine—want to. It's a play. It's a power thing. You can dress as a sailor, a Victorian, a Renaissance princess.
This isn’t a new phenomenon either? Although generally we would all say that we find foot binding in China barbaric, bound feet which accentuated the big toe into a point and deformed the foot into a high arch, do we not imitate this in the High Stiletto, or in the Ballet Pump? Did the Chinese not just find a way to permanently accentuate the female foot into a thing of desire? (Rightly or wrongly)
I know when I wear a high heel it changes the way I walk, lengthens the line of my leg and bottom shape… I do it on purpose, as all women know, but don’t always admit too? There is nothing wrong with wanting to look sexy, just to me the leg, foot, and shoe is sexier than any boob cleavage or heavy make up – more sensual and elegant…….
And aroma is important too… although a taboo subject generally in society, we should not forget that smell is one of our senses and important in any area of our lives, including seduction? Why else do we scatter rose petals, light scented candles, and bathe in perfume? But what else smells better that the human skin and the things that adorn it…..
There are also those that don’t want to wear shoes, but to own them, admire them as works of art? I don’t think its anything to be ashamed of either?
Below is a list of self confessed and famous foot lovers…you may be surprised!
