That's actually only the first half of the story. The last chapter of the book is called "The Honest Princess" and it tells the story from the POV of the other girl (the one who took the shoe). And yes, I checked the site, and it isn't loaded there. |
Yes it is:
The name of the chapter is Golden Shoes, Silver Shoes.

Oh my bad, I guess they changed the title of the story when they translated it, so I couldn't find it. Oddly there is an anime called
Golden Shoe Silver Shoe but it appears to be unrelated (it's about a girl with a gold colored artificial leg)

I think what has happened there is as follows; with the foot at that angle, only the toe region of the vamp of the shoe would be visible (in that style the side of the shoe would not actually be neccecarily drawn in) that part of the foot is over the border, which is also black. Black shoe+black border=missing shoe.

Perhaps. But that woman mentions wearing one shoe on the picture as well. Anyway, we all can imagine that shoe is missing.

The way I read the quote, the illustrator sound like she did not
intend the shoe to be missing, and could not figure out why it had happned. I was just offering an explanation. There is actually a little evidence of that, look how the foot is pointed in the middle. Not normal for an unshod foot (most people do not have feet where thier middle toe is thier longest one, longer even than thier big toe.) but very common if you are wearing pumps with a "V" shaped vamp. But as you said it is ambiguos, you can see what you want.

There is a new play called 'Barcelona' by the playwright named Bess Wohl.
It seemes to include substantion one-shoe element.
http://www.dcmetrotheaterarts.com/2012/07/11/the-contemporary-american-theater-festivals-5-plays-by-mike-spain/
'Irene is an attractive and well-to-do American girl who is in Spain for her bachelorette party. In a drunken state she goes home with Manuel (Jason Manuel OlazÃbal. The play starts with them entering the apartment. Irene is missing a shoe, the couple is lustfully kissing, and it looks like a wild night of passion. Then the conversation starts and you can tell things are taking a wrong turn from Manuel’s facial expressions. The play goes from Irene and Manuel lusting one another, to Manuel wanting her to leave, to perhaps a rescue - as Wohl’s well-crafted story unfolds.'
If we go to the official site of the CATF (where it was first shown in Summer), we can find six official photos of the production, one of which shows Irene with only one shoe and one bare (and dirty) foot.
http://catf.org/photogallery/index.php?level=album&id=93
Good news can be found on the following website:
http://peopleslight.org/ I give only the top-level link becasue it's working in a strange way and keep telling me that access to certain pages is denied. Look up Barcelona play and you will see that it is being prepaired for shows in 2013. And on the banner we can see the playwright herself standing with one shoe off. Which once again gives us hope that one-shoe element is prominent in this play and will be retained.
We'll have to wait until 2013. Hopefully more photos of even video will be available.

I love eroshocker. I just wish he'd make more comics depicting these shoe loss situations.

Who is eroshocker?

I've seen that one before on ebay (I think it's by Maude Tousey Fangel, and I'm afraid that is actually a BOY. At the time it was painted, Mary Janes were considered unisex shoes, and boys were often dressed more or less as girls until they were several years old (anywhere from around 7 to as late as 12) Ditto the rouged lips, they'd do that all the time for pictures (and even photos)

It's another site. Though it probably isn't worth the going, as I said, there are only 3 shoe loss pictures (though dozens and dozens of ones with both shoes removed) and an afwful lot of NSFW (basically the artist tends to draw photoplays of the charactters in sequences, shod, shoeless, barefoot, outer wear less, topless, and naked).

I like it because I love the way he draws pantyhosed feet. He does a lot of Damsel in Distress scenarios, but like Nop said, it's not safe for work. He's made some comics in the past, but the good ones aren't up on the site anymore. Most of his stuff is just different versions of the same pic (fully clothed then shoeless, then wtih less clothes, then just the pantyhose, then bare). A lot of his older stuff has been taken down and is now only available on melonbooks.

It's from Parks and Recreation - Season 1.
Not too sure which episode though, but that's the episode where the lead female, Leslie Knope, falls into an empty pit.
