the appeal of old dusty attics

is it just me or are attics in old house really mysterious and magnetic? what wonders and treasures do they hold? if you find a mannequin in one will it entice you into its timeless world?

well if you grandmother or even great grand mother (or maybe great great grandmother) is in any of these pictures then its likely that some amazing thigh high boots might be stashed away amongst the trunks and dusty books. i bet there's impossible corsets up there too and who knows what other secret things.


my current silly theory is that if anyone had a time machine they'd spend a lot of its fuel allotment on shopping in the past rather than watching historical events take place. think of it - buy a box of Superman No1 and that will fund the entire project. you don't even need to take them back with you, just seal them in plastic or some such, burry them in a case and go dig them up when your back to the present. who knows what else amazing shopping finds you can get with a time machine. hey maybe even beannie babies will become real collector items in the year 3000.


which brings me back to these boots. now the heel isn't massively tall - or tall enough for me anyway; but looking at them closely they have buttons to close them up the entire length. you would really need to love your boots to take 30 min per leg to get them on. they'd certainly not come off to quickly either. which makes it all a bit more perverse don't you think? they go on in the morning and no way to kick them off once you got back into your house - no your trapped till bedtime with black tight shiny leather legs.

now for me that is a true fetishist - someone who will be so obsessed with their speciality that it will shape and define the wearer over long periods of time.


i wonder what happens to all these boots when they're found by relatives or house clearance specialists when the owner has passed on?

well here's a pair i spotted on ebay; crotch high 60's mod styled leather boots as owned by Dolores Wettach a former fashion model circa late 1950's - 1970's. it has a buy it now price so one of you readers may want to nab it as they're not my size and i've already just bought two new pair of skinny latex jeans so i can continue my commitment to latex.

ps; just remembered there's a few fetish stories along the lines of items in the attic although fo rthe life of me i can't remember their titles or specifics. do post in comments if you find them.
