Styles Loved Hated Fade
Mar 10, 2024 10:42:53 #
The memories of styles that were loved in the store were hated after the pain of wearing them. Men too suffered from the Men's Pointed Toe shoes... at least my wide feet did. At a flea market, I bought 5 different women's shoes, that were a salesman's one-shoe collection.
Spike heel history ...
"Stilettos typically range from one to five inches, but must be narrower at the tip than where the heel attaches to the last of the shoe. Designers Salvatore Ferragamo, Roger Vivier and André Perugia have all been credited with inventing the stiletto, sometime between 1948 and 1954. In the 1950s, the four-inch Ferragamo stilettos worn by Marilyn Monroe allowed her to hone her famously seductive walk; and by the 1960s the aspirational Hollywood veneer gave way to accessibility, as it became the shoe of choice for most women. The 1970s, however, brought with it a counterculture that rejected the stiletto, deriding it for being uncomfortable and hindering movement. But with the advent of power dressing in the 1980s, the stiletto staged a comeback—former connotations of the heel being a sexed-up accessory that lacked elegance were subverted to make it the ultimate fashion statement for the formidable working woman."

The image was taken in my DIY House of Glass... Mirror box. The image was processed with JIXIPIX Spectra to give texture then Lunapic to give some water drop texture low percentage and finally with Dynamic Autopainter 6 with van Gogh Sunflowers using the original colors selection. The result gives the impression of a fading memory of what was loved as a work of stylist art designed by Salvatore Ferragamo, Roger Vivier, and André Perugia but hated by women who wore them with resulting pain.
In Phoenix Arizona, women were left shoeless dancing barefooted on searing asphalt when their Stiletto-spikes sank into the hot asphalt which approached 170* in the sun. pavement so hot that when stopped at a light car tires would make a kiss sound coming loose from the hot asphalt tar.
Comments on bettering the image or your impression and life experiences seeing or wearing them are welcome.

Heather Iles suggested I post an alternate image the one before DAP 6.

"Bettering the image"...? Hardly...images are GREAT! I loved wearing high heels, the higher the better! Alas, time has caught up with me and high heels are just a memory of my wild and exciting past. I love your images...color red suits them best!

I am pleased that you like the images, " Yes, the red spike shoe is the more exciting of the group.
Unfortunately just having "a memory of my wild and exciting past... is for all of us one of the symptoms of a communicable disease called getting old. As my Dr said, in her almost condemning tone, "But, Mr. Pullum, you're almost 90." Translated, meaning live with the memory of a wild and exciting, past " The ladies are no longer interested." I should have asked her for a pill for the ladies!!! I went to a nearby senior center and yikes, those people are old!!!
But, time better spent is at L A Fitness.
Approaching 90 is true, and time to sell my heavy equipment and continue to use my Panasonic TZ100 pocket superzoom which is excellent. No longer will I carry around my Sony A65 and the stable of Minolta Lenses; for why, AI will make the 1" sensor images quite remarkable.
