Something vintage for you all.
Tots TV "Hopping Day"
This whole episode is about Tiny declaring it "Hopping Day". Tom and Tilly are reluctant to join, but Furryboo hides their shoes, making them hop.
Saw this when I was little, and had been trying to find it online for a while. I didn't get it until this year.

Sorry. It's just that I had seen posts on this thread with both genders before, and I planned to include them both accordingly. Looks like I misunderstood things. Can I still be on these boards?

I don't think it was this thread, so far I think you're the only one to post male shoe loss. I would like to keep this thread strictly focusing on female shoe loss though. Feel free to start a new thread for male shoe loss if it pleases you, but I don't think you'll find many contributors other than yourself here. I don't know anyone else who's into male shoe loss.

I'm wondering if this one might be an intentional one. From what I understand it used to be a wedding custom in some countries that the bride would remove her right shoe and throw it upon exiting the chapel. As with the modern day custom with the bridal bouquet, whoever caught the shoe was supposed to be the next one married. Maybe this is a resurgance (yes I know that it is her left shoe she is missing in the picture but still).
Actually, there may be a rich thread in to mine in depiticions of old marriage ceremonies. Shoes have long played an integral part in those ceremonies. It used to be common custom as part of the ceremony (before the time of the above bit) for the father of the bride to take one of his daughters shoes and touch the groom on the forehead with it, to signify the transfer of "ownership" (we are talking about medival to early Rennesaince period) of the girl beween the two. Sometimes it was hung on the front of the bed, for the same reason. Neith custom specifiys it has to be one of the shoes the girl is actually wearing, but we are talking about the middle ages and it is more than likey that many a bride only would own one pair at a time (if that). And even today, we still tie old shoes to the bumper of the newlyweds car (up until fairly recently the old shoes would actually be thrown at the newlyweds).

There is another wedding habit popular in Russia and Poland. The bride is taken one of her shoes and wszystcy gentlemen present at the wedding (except the groom) must apply to the purchase of the boot - so they are allowed to dance with the bride.

Exactly. It's a popular custom in Slavic countries. Bride has one of her shoes taken away and hidden and it must be bought out.

And since the picture is Russian, that is probably what has happened

Great find, and I agree about Yoko. I'm wishing a cartoon parody of it would be made with her losing her boots.

Guess who lost her shoe again. Julia Gillard the Prime minister of Australia. This is the fourth time it's been reported that she lost her shoe. She probably loses her shoe a lot more off camera.

I don't know if it was intentional or not that a Grace Park look alike was made and put into the Model Catalogue. But in case you did not know in the third episode of the new Hawaii Five-0 that started in 2010. Kono (Grace Park's character), smuggles an ear piece in the heel of her stilleto. In case you need an idea of a story for I guess you could use this for inspiration. There is a one shoe scene in the episode but she is not losing her shoe.

thanks for the stiletto scene. that has potential. setcard isn't new. it just was updated and made clear that in fact detective Kona who stars in "Nylondon Police Academy" in fact was created as Grace Park look alike as part of the commission ...
