A Thing for Shoes

Ok, I will admit it.  Even though right now I prefer going barefoot (yes even in the winter) I still have a thing for shoes.  Shoes with very high heels.  I find them very sexy to wear, very sexy to look at too.  Here are a few that I have spotted around the internet that have caught my eye and I thought I would share them with you.  Tell me what you think of them?

Darn ruby slippers, how did they get here!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Nick and Nora Charles.......The Thin Man

Line up the cocktails. As Nick says, "You see the important thing is the rhythm. Always have rhythm in your shaking. A Manhattan you shake to foxtrot, a Bronx to two-step time. A dry martini you always shake to waltz time." If ever a couple possessed complementary drinking rhythms, it would have to be Nick and Nora Charles, the much-envied glamorous cocktail-swilling quick-thinking duo of Dashiell Hammett's The Thin Man. Inspired by the writer's blossoming affair with playwright Lillian Hellman, the novel, published in January of 1934, motivated MGM to rush a cinematic adaptation into production. The movie, released in late May of 1934, proved popular enough to spawn sequels, foremost because of the stellar chemistry and witty performances of William Powell as Nick and Myrna Loy as Nora. Decades later, many people still search for their own Nick or Nora. Beyond the playful banter, the partying Charleses exude a confident security and ease in their relationship, a high comfort level that even excessive alcohol consumption can not fully explain. As a married couple, they know the secret to keeping the flame alive.

The Tango

One of the most fascinating of all dances, the tango is a sensual ballroom dance that originated in South America in the early twentieth century. Tango is usually performed by a man and a woman, expressing an element of romance in their synchronized movements. Originally, the tango was performed only by women, but once it spread into Argentina, it developed into a dance for couples. The popularity of the tango has greatly increased over the years. Argentine Tango is much more intimate than Modern Tango, and is well-suited to dancing in small settings. Argentine Tango retains the intimacy of the original dance.

I Love A Corset

These corsets represent a sampling of what women wore. The good, the exotic, the heroic. I am in awe of the beauty and passion they created.

I Enjoy Being A Girl

The Forbidden Perfume

Tabu – The Forbidden Perfume, and that delicious fragrance that reminds you of your childhood. Perhaps your mother sprinkled it behind her ears for a night out, or your aunt used the delicate, exotic-smelling powder. Whatever your memories of Tabu Perfume may be, they are clearly stored in your fondest scent memories.

Norma Shearer

Norma Shearer From the mid Twenties through the early Forties, Norma Shearer, the most unlikely of all screen beauties, reigned supreme as the first lady of the screen, the genuine motion picture aristocrat.

"An actress must never lose her ego - without it she has no talent."

The more one tries to isolate the qualities that made Norma Shearer unique the more one heads into an area of a kind of gracious dignity -- a serene purity of bearing and attitude that eludes sensible definition.
