"Little dreams are for little people; if you're going to dream of being a fish, dream of being a whale."

The Epistemology of the Closet (via Moby Dick).

(Tio, is there really a Bata shoe museum? When I was growing up in Bangkok we always shopped for shoes at Bata. I never could understand why my mother didn't buy the lovely gold shoes, she chose the sensible ones.)

Kinky Boots
 
Wellington boots. :devil:

The pink ones with the ribbon ... my new ones which are like top boots. I have also had naughty remarks made about the green Hunters I used to have! :D

Once, in the vestibule of our city's public library, I was putting my galoshes back on as I was leaving. As I stretched the black rubber over my well-shined black leather shoes, I realized a woman nearby was gazing at me with rapt attention. I looked at her and she blushed, then apologized: "I'm sorry, but I really enjoy watching men put those things on."

Here we go again with the gumboot fetishes!

And, yes, Naoko, the Bata Shoe Museum is located in Toronto. The Bata family moved to Canada from the former Czechoslovakia to escape from state communism. And did you know that the University in their home town in Czechoslovakia offered graduate degrees in shoe studies?

When can I start teaching there? Do you get free shoes, like when you teach from books you get free books?
:p:p:p

The shoe programs have closed along with the shoe business. The town renamed itself "Bata" in hopes the family would return with their business. The last bit of research I know of from there was a practical study of Otzi's Neolithic rope sandals.

So then, for a free association...

Aww, too bad. Although I don't know if I would've liked the rope sandals ... LOL, I tried on a pair of leopard skin buckled sandals the other day, but even the shop assistant was obliged to admit they wouldn't be practical for the school run.

Crocs on a beach.

Dostoevsky's The Crocodile

A true story of how a gentleman of a certain age and of respectable appearance was swallowed alive by the crocodile in the Arcade, and of the consequences that followed.

Ohe Lambert! Ou est Lambert?
As-tu vu Lambert?
