Update for Bootlovers #58
(Note: It always blows my mind that some of you think I'm tall - like any height over 5'4". If only.)
There's a last minute change in Bootlovers #58 (because nothing ever, EVER goes as planned for me).
The video clips I had intended on using to accompany my own gallery are currently lost somewhere in my flood-damaged cave apartment. Cue total panic on my part, because everything outside of the 8' x 8' section that I currently live in is still a complete clusterf##k.
But then I remembered...DJ and I did a quick photoshoot at Mike Frankovich's (www.fetish-realm.com) garage before I rushed to the airport. I wasn't thrilled with the photoshoot, but the video was fabulous! And hey! What was still in my purple leather purse from the CA visit? The digital tape!
So Bootlovers #58 has 6 video clips of me stomping around in grey jeans and Mike's GORGEOUS and vintage brown Italian leather Rafael Giardini thigh-highs! The leather...(swooning)...to die for. And the perfect shade of deep tobacco brown. I didn't want to take them off to go to the airport!!
It's unlikely that the actual photos from this shoot (other than Mike's small gallery) will ever be seen. The lighting was wonky, and my outfit - everyday jeans and a black t-shirt - are not items I would normally choose for photos.
Another reason the photoshoot didn't work...D.J., you are awesome - but sometimes you forget that you are 6'5" and I am 5'1"; and unless you really squat down to take a photo, I look like a midget with booted stumps for legs because you are focusing on the top of my head.
This is why photoshoots require planning. Consider it an experiment that didn't work - but I hope you enjoy the video!!

I thought you were taller. Must be something about the way you photograph or some such thing. Maybe it's the air of confidence that you project...that "command presence". I had at least 5'9" in my head.

Not sure if I already commented this...
Some people look tall in the pics because the pics have not been taken from the eye level, but from somewhere lower. When I have to take a pic of someone, I usually hunch down a little bit... the pics just tend to become much better that way... so they don't look like... well, midgets, as Teri so nicely put it

I very much approve of the beautiful brown TH-boots you are wearing. Oh, how I approve!
As for your height: I had not noticed. Besides, it is said the best things come in small packages! Well yeah, of course they do!
