Need a source!

This is an image from my "Stuff I Right-Clicked On At Four In The Morning and Saved 6 Years Ago" folder. There are no sources, or order, or anything but a jumble of boot, glove, and leather images in this bulging mess that takes up way too much room on one of my harddrives.

This image though - not only is it (obviously) amazing (look at that arch!!) - but the Arabic (?) writing sets it apart from the average found image. I think it is part of a series, because I could swear I've seen another that included more of the leg.

So help me out here, Boot Experts! Do any of you recognize the source, or possess any info on the boot itself??

Ah, so that's what Arabic women wear under their long robes :-)

[Highland Mistress]

The image is by photographer Herbert W. Hesselmann, and is part of a John Willie inspired series from his 1985 photo book, 'Princess in Blond und Tango'.

The Arabic writung is not in the original, so I guess that was added later, and I'm not sure of the source of the boots.

john willie must be laughing in his grave.
the knee and calf look real but the arch and heel and toe look cartoonish to me.
i've seen lots of boots but that toe is too small
relative to that ankle.
if there is an arab tribe whose women wear boots like these, i want to be a supplicant.

Hi Teri,

This is from a "Sweet Gwendoline" photo shoot. I remember the very distinctive boot (worn by U89!).
No idea who the photographer was.

Hey there, Teri!

Worth a drool, huh?

Try http://www.sirdarcy.net , you can find a few more. They're from a set that's Agent U96 (or whatever she was called) inspired.

There is a pair very similar to the ones in the picture - and, funnily, also worn with riding pants and the same kind of spurs - in a book by Herbert W. Hesselmann called "Princess in Blond und Tango". Some of the images can be seen on the Hesselmann's website in a calendar called "The Adventures of Sweet Gwendoline".

The arches on these boots aren't as high as in the picture but they look so alike that they ought to come from the same source.

Hi

I sent you an email with a couple of pictures that I think is related to this picture. If the email doesn't get through let me know... and Ill try to find some hosting for the images and post my description in the comments.

Terri:

This picture comes from a set depicting Gwendolyn and U69 from the John Willie stories. You can get the whole series at www.sirdarcy.net. They are titled "The DCY13 Bondage Series" on the "bondage" page. I downloaded them in the mid 90's, but I just checked and they are still there. I have no idea who made the boots, but maybe "Sir Darcy" could help you out...

i've been looking at my own folders like that lately. Haven't found anything nearly as good.

Teri-

Sorry to say that I cannot help you with this one. The spur is superb!

Hi, i've got a series of 25 pictures including the 'arabic' boot pic.
The pics are dated from 1998 (think this must be my download-date).
The pic-story shows Sweet Gwendoline
and a mistress with crop and sexy latex-clothes in riding style.
If you are interested i can mail the pics to you!
Greetings from a cold, wet and stormy germany

The 'Satanic'-looking triple 6's adds an interesting touch!

[DJ ghettoeinstein]

The funny symbol is what the artist puts on all his work.
He basically takes photos and photoshops them into even more interesting fetish forms. He had (maybe still has ) a web site and even did a photo of me!
Sorry, I can not remember his name.

It's a mod I did in photoshop years ago. Original (less extreme) boot was from a book as noted above. Dropped the 666 as a little too silly :)

That's my tag and since then I've done a few thousand images. I have to admit it's a real buzz to find my mod on this site. I've done far more extreme boots since then. Find a few images at the above address, I am very lazy at showing my work so don't expect too much lol

Anyway love the site, amazing posts :)

[Alex]

Monika-

Your photoshop work is really wonderful. I like this one because it's very extreme, but not so extreme that you can still believe it's real. So for me, it's probably nicer than ones that would be more extreme -- they might cross the line.

I think you should talk to Teri and DJ about getting your work up on the net, and getting you the attention you deserve!

[Mme. Katorga]

Excellent! This one has been in my file for some time, and I've been meaning to ask the same question.

Thanks for the detective work Teri and thanks to Monika and all the others posting information.

Best,
M. Katorga

Teri,

Regarding your boot pic with the Arabic writing... I believe it is from a photog who called himself Shiny Delight and did the Maid For Rubber site for a short while a few years back.

Cal from the former Latex Image.
