The Flip Flop Girl

Homer as Fertility God
Viral marketing run amuck as resulted in ad butting up against an ancient relic to the amusement and disgust of many. Check out a link to the mayhem here.

I happen to have really loved The Simpons Movie and highly recommend it. Matt Groening, the creator and ongoing creative force behind The Simpsons has made the most of bringing his characters to the big screen. He, and a team of writers, have come up with some brilliant writing that allows us prudish and confused Americans to loosen up and laugh about things we might not normally laugh about such as, well, sex in general, including gay sex. Mixing the right amount of biting satire with gentle good humor, I don't think anyone can say they didn't enjoy the movie or find something they can laugh about.

The Flip Flop Girl's Story 5
Simon Talks About it at Work

Simon told me once that he tried to bring up the subject of his foot fetish with a coworker and it provided some amusing results. He thought it would be okay considering that so many of the employees there are in flip flops or Birkenstocks and there's this prevasive feel-good atmosphere.

Just about everyone at his job is suppose to be progressive. You see all these anti-Bush stickers and posters. A healthy expression of gay pride with rainbow flags too. Lots of organic and gourmet snacks. So, Simon did feel fairly safe.

He decided to have lunch in the company cafe which he usually avoided in favor of something in the neighborhood. At first, he thought he might do well to strike up a conversation with this divorced guy in his 40's who was out fucking anyone he could find and was good for an unabashed chat.

"Hey, Brad, how's it going? I guess you're dating a lot these days as I recall you were saying."

"Oh, hi, Simon. Yeah, yeah, online dating is the way to go. It's one of the greatest innovations I can think of. It's practically fool-proof. And it really works for a guy like me. I know how to handle myself. I have the money to spend and I also have the confidence which the girls appreciate. They like the money but they get turned on even more by the confidence. It also helps that I look young for my age. It pays off to keep fit."

"So, Brad, it's pretty easy for you to keep up with the girls, huh? Not too demanding on you? Do they ever ask you to do things you're not sure that you're up for, if you know what I mean?"

"Do I get requests? Oh, I don't know. One thing leads to another. What did you have in mind?"

"Well, for instance, if a girl demanded that I perform rough sex on her, I would be kinda lost."

"Oh, I see."

"Or say if a girl had a fetish, a foot fetish. How would you feel about that?"

"Well, Simon, let me tell you. All cultures have different kinks, as you well know. You can learn a lot from just watching porn. Say, the Japanese are all into control. They'll spend a lot of time tying up the girl. At the extreme, they make her eat her own shit. Sick fucks. The British, on the other hand, are so prissy and uptight and they go for spanking, and dainty things. Around the world, Americans are seen as being too clean, too artificial. Then you've got the Germans. Oh, you don't even want to know how dirty those birds are with all the hardcore bondage..."

"Okay then. To each his own, right? I should be going..."

Flip Flop Girl Flip Flops Some More with Films

Still thinking about movies with any form of footsie theme going on. I recall a few comedies but can't quite place them. I'm pretty sure that War of the Roses has a scene where Danny DeVito is in a boardroom and this girl wants to give him a foot job and he gets angry and says something like, "I haven't been into feet in years." Or am I hallucinating?

There's another movie which I'm totally blanking out on and it definitely does not have Danny DeVito in it. No, it's some character actor, a tall bald guy, and he is so enthralled with this pretty young woman that he abruptly goes down and kneels by her feet, slips off her heels, and started sucking away at her toes. The girl, I think, is a well-known actress, somebody like Kelly McGillis but not her. It's driving me nuts. Does that ring a bell for anyone? Probably early '90s. What is so strange about this is that I happen to have been at a family gathering and the television was on and it was this comedy and then, out of the blue, you have this toe-sucking scene while you have a house full of mixed company. No one really noticed or seemed to care. Maybe they didn't want to notice. I feel pretty jaded but that got my attention. I don't think it really registered with everyone in the house. I suppose that was so strange that I nearly blocked it all out of my memory but now I would like to know what movie that is!
