The Great British vintage foot fetish magazine of the 90’s.
GO ON GIRLS, SHOW US YOUR FEET!
Strappy, high-heeled shoes which reveal women’s bare feet are intensely sexy, and are exciting, beautiful, and spell-binding. All the top designers, from Jimmy Choo, Gucci, Manolo Blahnik, Gina through to Christian Louboutin are making catwalk shoes of beauty as nothing before. Sexy, feminine, and empowering, they can turn ordinary women into confident Wonder Women as no other items of dress.
The way high-heeled shoes work is to force the woman’s body forward and make them move contrary to their natural plodding gait.
Legs look better and thighs feel sexier in high heels. But shoes draw our attention to the most erotically underplayed portion of the female anatomy: the foot.
Foot worship goes back to the 13th Century and beyond, and was central core of Chinese culture for generations. They perfected the art of foot-binding and many significant Chinese thinkers have consistently extolled the virtues of a properly bound foot and the natural beauty of a delicate bare female foot. How astute they were!
For most people, however, the thought of tightly binding up a foot is repellent. The true feetist, the connoisseur of The Bare Female Foot, recongnises there are elements of the Foot Fraternity who ‘dig that thang’, but personally prefer a dainty, beautifully sculpted care foot, pale, soft, perfect toes, a perfect arch, and a silken, rosy heel. He sets the Foot up on a peestal and worships it as an art form. Indeed, because of this, the foot does become a fetish item. It is the viewpoint of the author that the Perfect Bare Foot is such a beautiful object to behold, that it should not be marred or sullied by the gutter fetish and pornography industry, and should be raised above all the filth, squalor, and degrading stench-pits of sun (the author pauses here for fear of sounding like Joyce’s priest at the retreat sermon in A Portrait of the Artist As A Young Man). We should see less pornography as such in foot and leg publications, and get some excellent photographers just to take pictures of lovely bare feet.
High-heeled shoes are to be celebrated for giving a treat to every foot admirer each spring and summer. Strappy shoes are going to be big in 1998, and we all look forward to a mid-year feast of foot, toes, heels and shoes dangling. Lets look forward to an excellent 1998. Let every foot admirer do their best to promote, support, and encourage the amancipation of bare foot admiration. If we can get the Art of the Bare Foot as acceptable in society as the ‘tits and arse’ crowd, then we will all feel a lot more comfortable with ourselves, and ideally end all the secret, furtive fumblings and self-abuse that sadly so many of us are reduced to simply because people do not see the care foot as beautiful.
We owe it to ourselves to bring foot worship out in the open. Only when it has become as acceptable as homosexuality, bondage, and traffic wardens can we proudly hang up a massive poster in our rooms of a beautiful bare foot.
