GRETA GARBO'S FEET

The cigarette girl (above) is Garbo, the famous Swedish American actress of the 30s and 40s. I've blogged about her before but this time I'd like to focus on her feet. She's reputed to have walked on what amounts to kayaks. You'd think this would be a career-ending flaw for a dramatic actress, but the public forgave it. They were all focused on her face.


'Lest you've forgotten, this...


...this is the famous face.


Some of my favorite Garbo films were the ones where she appeared to be studying the face of the person she talked to. Humanity was a puzzle to Garbo, something to be figured out.

Bye the way, how did she come up with that flat-on-the-sides hair style? It looked like her hair was carved out of wood and lowered onto her skull with chains.

Artists loved her. 

Men went nuts over her. She was so...mysterious!



Even the great Barrymore (above) fell for her. Look at that indecipherable look on her face. Fans clamoured to know, "For God's Sake, what is she thinking!!!???"


Maybe she was just bored, or maybe she had judged the human race and found us wanting. I prefer to think she was developing some great thought...some idea of cosmic significance that had the power to change the world if only she would divulge it.


Anyway, about the feet...She was a boon to women with big feet. She made it seem downright fashionable.


According to this artist (above) she had feet you could surf with.


It was a great look. Even fish tried to imitate it.


Who knows what influence she might have had on fashion had not WWII intervened?

ARE YOU A FOOT PERSON?

Man, there's a lot of adult foot sites on the net! I mean a whooooole lot! Evidently there's a lot of guys who like to look at feet. 


I wonder what it's like to be a girl and know that there's thousands of men out there who want you to step on them. What if the situation were reversed and thousands of women wanted men to step all over them? It's so strange...I don't know what I'd think. I guess I would step on them if it really meant that much to them, but I'm not sure.


Most of the sites (above) aren't dirty...they're just odd. They're full of pictures of fully clothed women walking around and lounging in their bare feet. Yep, that's all they do! I kid you not, people pay for that!

Hmmmm. Actually, I kinda like the walking feet picture. Maybe I should have led with that.


The girls in these pictures usually look bored. I imagine this girl (above) is thinking about her grocery list.


"Hmmmmmm," she thinks, "Pears are on sale today but I always buy too many and they go to waste."


Of course not all foot sites are PG-rated.  Some are really raunchy (above). Usually the drastic ones combine feet interests with some other thing. There's a million mean girl sites on the net where the girls snarl at the camera and make like they want to punch you in the nose. Sometimes foot themes get grafted onto that.


Does it work? You be the judge.

Here's (above) foot interest combined with fur obsession. Personally I don't think it works. On the other hand, if she were smoking at the same time, you'd appeal to the fur people, the foot people and the smoking people all at once. Throw in a little mean for extra measure.
