I just found these links to other photos in the shoot. While there are no addional one shoe jane pics (well, there's one, but it's basically the same pose as the first one, just from a little farther back, these two might be of interest. You can't see both feet, but you can see the boot she removed which has probably been posed (I say this because it looks like this cosplayer went with the gaiters over normal shoes thing, so unless those shoes are very high boots (unlikely, given how floppy the top looks), or the bottom of the gaiter is actually glued to the shoe sole, you couldn't pull the shoe off without displacing it, so she would have had to push it back down into place before she posed it.)

And another from an old movie
The Twelve Chairs (1970)
Father Fyordrov (Dom deLuise) is trying to grab what he thinks are the chairs from an engineer in Siberia. In the ensuing scuffle, he pulls one of the Engineers wife's shoes off, and she remains in one shoe for the rest of the scene (including a bit where she is forced out into the snow) (appx 3:46)

That happens a lot of the times in plays/musicals, especially one's with dance numbers with a lot of kicks (why do you think most female tap and dance shoes have straps?) . I seem to recall reading about an actress who kicked one of her shoes into the audience during the "Happy to Keep his Dinner Warm" number in the touring version of the most recent revival of How to Succeed in Business Without Really Trying. Somewhere else on the web I seem to recall an account of a similar incident during a dance number in a production of the ORIGINAL Broadway version of Singin' in the Rain (During "Good Morning", I think) and in the last number of a production of Annie

Another one from T.U.F.F. Puppy
"Dudley-do-Wrong"
After the T.U.F.F. team beats up Miss Petropolis, one of her black pumps is missing. Later at the very end of the cartoon we see her cutting a ribbon on the re-opened T.U.F.F. building and she still has a pump on one foot which is about the only part of her that isn't in a cast (nomally I don't count people in cases as being single shoe candidates, but since the cast she has on has toes, it probably does in this case.)

It's really really sucky, but I should point out Teen Titans Go! had it first (partial) shoe loss by a female character. At the end of "La Larva Amor" after Starfire has her temper tantrum and blasts all the other Titans you see them all in a heap, and the toe of one of Raven's boots is missing. As I said, due to the way the characters are drawn in this version, it is an incredibly bad example (you just see a ragged edge and some grey, no toes, no change of foot shape). but it is there. I should also point out that in this version, the two time we have seen Starfire in her bathrobe (In the relaxing episode, and the washing day one) she has been barefoot (as opposed to Raven who wears bunny slippers!)

1. One story I wrote a while back was a 1940's style detective story where the murder victim was a collector of rare books and screen plays. There was a scene where the detective was investigating the scene with the police and one of the officers (who is a film nut) is running through the victims collection (and nearly wetting himself with joy) One of the titles he finds (bear in mind NONE of these are real books) is Death Wears One Mary Jane (for the record some of the others are things like Murder Smells Like Violets, The orignal screenplay for He Wore a Shirt of Kiltered Plaid(western) and Song of the Caramel Moon (probably a romance)
2. There was also a fragment of a 1960's style spy story where one of the agents (not the one who was the focus of the story kept losing important documents beacuse a female spy on the other side found out about his boot fetish and continually exploted it. I have no intentions of finishing the story (it was going nowhere) but I do sort of like his explanation line "Sorry boss, but you know me. She would take off her go-go, and I would come-come." |
Hm I see their nice ideas by the way but it's to bad that you never finished them. btw I also happen to be a story teller of sorts but most of my storys are fetish based and are done in 3D custom Girl. |
Even if I had finshed them, you probably wouln't have liked them. What you are seeing is really the extent of the loss in any of them; otherwise they would have been straight stories of thier kinds.
Remembered two more also unfinshed (I almost never can get a story finished)
1. A "grand heist" story I started had a one character as world class thief with a shoe fetish/iconic fetish who agreed to help on the case in exchange for Interpol not pursuing him for his little hobby of stealing sacred footwear, such as St. Brigids slipper, the Holy Shoe from a chuch in Italy and the entire contents of the Chapel of the Slippers in Creoux-Mousty, Belgium (note these are all actual items)
2. "The Adventure of the Spherical Wheat" A Shelock Holmes story I started began with Holmes and Watson returning to thier flat to be alterted that a young lady had arrived to call on them, had waited in thier apartments and then left hurredly. Based on her traces Holmes immediately deduces that the lady had been missing one boot when she had arrived (due to the shape of the impression her feet had made in the carpet) and after realizing that Holmes would not be back soon hopped across the room borrowed Watson's house slppers (rug impressions again) and left to find some replacement footwear. When she returns he astound her buy correctly identifying that she was an actress who had recently starred in a production of The Pirates of Penzance (the rug impression reveal that despite the very long distance, she had hopped in an absolutely precise line; no wavering, from which Holmes deduces that the lady must have a great deal of experianace hopping on one foot very precisely, as, for example, someone who had just completed a run of The Pirates of Penzance (which has a longish part where the female cast has to hop on one shoe precisely.)

I've had a LOT of them (pity I have such a crappy memory, so I can't remember most of them) I seem to recall one a few years ago that was something along the lines as follows. I was in my sunroom on the computer when the doorbell rings, I answer it, and the girl I had a sort of crush on in high school is there and says she has popped by to visit. When she comes in she takes off her shoes so as not to get the rug dirty..and that's when I woke up.
Most of the other ones I remember are more along the lined of "viewed" dreams .i.e. the kind where you dream you are seeing something (like a movie or a TV shoe), as opposed to that something is happening to you. I recall two Scoody Doo related ones a few months ago. In one Fred, Daphne and Velma were all wearing one shoe (because the ghost they were hunting was haunting a morgue, and they were disguised as sheeted cadavers with toe tags.) A month or so before that I dreams I saw a music video where someone sang a calypso song about Scooby being sued by a woman for stealing one of her red boots and eating it. And then years ago there was a variation of Pinnocio featuring a version of the blue fairy who dispensed her magic by pouring it out of one of her blue high heels. (If these dreams sound illogical, bear in mind I'm the guy who when he was a kid dreamed about seeing a disney promo for a series of a dozen or so Mary Poppins sequels they had dreamed up (Including Mary Poppins versus the Robotic Mary Poppins).

another Betty blue. This is by the British Childrens book illustrator Eric Kinkaid
I also may have a new TV reference to keep your eyes peeled for. I understand that Cartoon Networks Adult Swim is bringing back IGPX. Whether they meant the are bringing back the previos seasons or they are actually doing a new one, I don't know. But if they are bringing back the old season, I seem to recall a shoe loss in one of the episodes from season 2. I don't remember which one, since it's been a while, plus I missed that paricular episode (due to Cartoon network getting thier dates and times RIGHT for a change) but I seem to recall it being something along the lines of one of the racers, (the timid girl one, with the talking cat) running on a treadmill, and suddent collapsing, losing one of her sneakers in the process.

Well, finding a copy of the Japanese one is probably going to be tricky. If I recall that one was 1. old, like from the 1960's or '70's (to put this in prespective, I have difficulty finding copies of out of print Japanese childrens books if they are any more that 4-5 months out of print, that's how quick they tend to go from "out of print" to "almost impossible to find"). and 2. part of a multistory book, which means there was probably no sign of the Oz content from the cover (and I think I forgot to do a cover scan of that one before I sold it. I THINK it had a bunch of pictures of buildings {it was volume #13 of a series coverting world literature).
UPDATE
Oh wait I forgot I still have a copy of Volume 27 of the same series lying around (I'm holding it for a German book collector who specializes in Baron von Munchausen) So you at least can have a clue what the slipcase looks like
Also I have another Tv update. Last night's American Dad("The Missing Kink") had no actual shoe losses by Francine. However during a lot of the spanking scenes, she was dangling quite a bit.

by going through my old emials I was able to at least retrive a picture of the COVER of the first Korean one (the "rocket shoes" one) that I made when I was offering it to the person who bought it, and which will at least give you a warning should you ever bump into a copy yourself (I do think I saw copies being sold a Koryo books in Manhattan at one point, though that was literally years ago)
I also found this, from another Oz book I sold a while back (a Japanese one, with illustrations adapted from Denslow)
And while the other Korean one is long gone, I seem to recall that that one DID have some single shoe pics from the WWW scenes. If it did, I probably removed them and put them in the files, so they should be there when I get a chance to go through them.

Love that last one. Do you have any other illustrations of the scenes where Dorothy loses her shoes when she flies home, and after she lands? I've seen the WW Denslow illustrations but not any of the others. |
I don't know. Or more accurately, I do have a few, but most of them are in those files I mentioned, the one's I keep elsewhere and can't just go and fetch on the spur of the moment. Given my interests, I've only really paid attention to those versions where dorothy is Mid loss in the picture (lost one hasn't lost the other yet), and there aren't that many of those. It's a bit like trying to find ones of her putting the shoes on that are mid change. It's just not all that popular a scene to illustrate I think I saw one in a coloring book, one in an Romaninan edtion, one in a Russian one and one in the book that came with a record. Next time I get to where I put all those files, I'll try to remember to check through them, but that probably won't be for a while.
As for post landing sans shoes I have seen quite a lot of them (most Oz books over a certain level will have that picture; it's usually only the very abridged versions that have her keep them) But I have no particualr interest in no shoe pictures, I never bothered to make any particular note of them. I remember I HAD a copy (I sold it to another Oz collector about a year ago) of a large Korean edition that had a particualry interesting version where Dorothy basically rockets out of the shoes. I also recall another Korean one, a graphich novel version (again don't have it anymore) which had a rather funny take on the other end. In that one Dorothy doesn't want to take the silver shoes, so the Witch of the North bashes her over the head with her staff, knocks her down, rips her boots off and jams the silver shoes on her feet! Actually now that I think of it the first Korean one I mentioned had a variation, the witch did the MGM trick (waves her wand and makes the silver shoes appear on Dorothy's feet, no need for her to go over fetch then and put them on herself) |
Awesome, I'd love to see all of those actually, especially the Korean ones you mentioned. I understand that a lot of people here prefer single shoe loss to both shoes getting lost. But I have no such preference, I like them both. Actually, I think I slightly prefer both shoes lost, since I don't see it as often as used to anymore. |
You CAN'T see the Korean ones, as I said I don't HAVE either of them anymore (I sold the first one) and the second one disintegrated and was disposed of ages ago.

I may have already posted this (don't remember) but I found the following link to a live action production of Munsch's Pigs!
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8IX5f1VD9CM
Interestingly, while the lead character does not appear to lose one of her shoes (probably no time to pull one off while the kids are trampling her), she does seem to be wearing mismatched ones (though since the shot is too far away to really see the brown one clearly, it is possible that only the straps are mismatched, i.e. she is wearing a pair of sandals with straps in contrasting colors)
also while digging through my old Photbuket files I managed to dig up some scans I made of those Shageldian Oz illstrations I mentioned. As I said there are no single shoe pictures in these (well not in any of the one's I have, but I only own the first two books and hence the first four stories) But I did find two that might be of interest in there, the first one of Dorothy in the silver shoes (showing how ludicrously oversized they are) and the last one from the Wizard section, showing her after the magic shoes have blown her back home and been lost (and giving her an expression that has always seemed a little odd to me, as if the magic shoes trip did something rather naughty to her, and she liked it)
 (will put up second one tomorrow)
