Shoe Fetish? Go Shoetube

We heard about this guy at our local mall who, under the guise of shoe shopping for his wife, convinced women to let him examine their shoes up close. Then, while they were primping and posing for him, he’d tear their shoes off and start sucking on their toes.

Eventually, this man was caught.

We’re bringing this up because in early ’08, Shoetube.tv will be launching.

“ShoeTube.tv is by and for shoe lovers,” says CEO Joel Olicker of Powderhouse Productions, the folks behind the site.

“In addition to highly entertaining original shoe programming, ShoeTube.tv will feature user and brand-generated content, articles on footwear news and trends, blogs from the top fashion commentators, and social networking – all geared toward women’s ongoing passionate love affair…with shoes!”

And creepy lurkers’ ongoing passionate love affairs … with their feet.

Anywho, Nine West will serve as one of the first sponsors.

Research suggests adults who received minimal affection as children often become one of two things — either the most physically affectionate person in any room, overcompensating with a warmth they’re terrified of withholding, or the most physically reserved, maintaining a distance they don’t want but can’t override — and both responses are survival adaptations to the same wound, and neither one feels natural because neither one is, they’re both translations of an experience that was never given its original language

Neuroscience reveals that people who genuinely enjoy repetitive routines have a different relationship with dopamine than novelty seekers. Their brains have learned to extract reward from depth rather than breadth, finding layers in the familiar that the restless mind skips over entirely
