He Says, She Says–Thigh High Boots

JR Manetta and Ally Cuervo have a “Pashun 4 Fashun.” Stroll with them down the proverbial catwalk that is their new column. Its important to remember, there are no “right” or “wrong” answers in Fashun. There is also no ‘i’ in Fashun. But there is a ‘u’. JR and Ally invite ‘u’ to Plz Leave Comments.

Thigh-High-Boots, also known as Over-the-Knee Boots, are the footwear du jour for Fall 2009/Winter 2010.

Look at all these bloggers making collages of their favorite thigh high boots! Kidding. This collage and also this collage and also this collage.

She says:
The first thing that comes to mind is Pretty Women followed by Cat Woman and a dominatrix (Vivian Ward + Cat Woman = Dominatrix). Boots aside, what do all these women have in common? They’re Strong Bitches and also kind of slutty. But they OWN the fact that they are kind of slutty, and don’t take shit from anyone. Bottom line: Thigh highs are powerful AND sexy.

P.S. Fur is murder. As in, I’d KILL for her coat.

He Says:
I can envision some practical use for the boots; they would be excellent for fly-fishing. Unfortunately, the flashy design of her dress would startle any striped bass and her almost exposed “unmentionables” would leave her susceptible to gangrene. Ted Williams, a man admired for his sternness, did not become an IGFA Fishing Hall of Famer by wearing bulky fur coats and short, leopard-patterned cocktail dresses.

Note: JR may be on to something. Check out these prada boots. Go fish anyone?

    hardly slutty. i think the slut factor was taken out of thigh highs back in 2003/4 when the revival started. i mean please, when marni and prada make them, they’re practically safe! dying for the chamois louboutins and check out the CRAZY charlotte olympia stacked wedges. insane! wish i had the legs for them though.. :(
