If you didn’t know already, next Wednesday, April 9, Soroptomist International will be holding a fundraiser, “Take a Walk in Her Shoes,” to give prominent male members of the community an inkling of what it’s like to be a woman — or at least to know what it feels like to wear high heels. (For details see the NCJ’s calendar section this week.)

In the same shoe vein, trolling YouTube today for recently-posted Humboldt-related videos, I ran across
Leftshoe the Bunny Slipper
(parts 1 and 2), which, perhaps for the first time in cinematic history, narrates the vicissitudes of a slipper’s life. The film — a slipper rather than a sleeper hit– was shot on location in HumCo in 2006 and directed by
Montel VanderHorck III
of
Mercy Me Productions
, Arcata. It’s full of sole and worth watching:

  1. guys in high heels? who thought up that one? are they trying to raise money or start a kink group? this may have worked in San Fran or LA, but in eureka? sounds like a money loser to me.

  2. Hey Japhet, I am very happy to see some shoes in the news. And I enjoyed the video too. Specially seeing as I’m working on some shoes art myself these days 🙂
