These gorgeous Victorian evening boots are a fine lady's flirtatious illusion. The blue velvet visible through the gold lattice leather imitates a stocking - risking the reveal of an ankle. #fashionhistory #historicfashion #fashionmuseum #victorianfashion #victorianboots #victorianshoes #shoehistory #shoemuseum #batashoemuseum #designhistory #bluevelvet #goldlace #goldleather #flirty #eveningboot #highheelhistory #iloveshoes #risktaker #highfashion #victoriancoutour #handmade (at Bata Shoe Museum)

#Repost @batashoemuseum with @repostapp ・・・ It's #socksunday! Who's want to cover up socks like these? Well, luckily these weren't meant to be covered up! Leather boot socks such as this highly decorated pair were designed to be worn with a pair of shoes when out-of-doors. The combination of a knee-high leather sock worn with a shoe functioned like a boot and was worn for horseback riding and walking. The shoes were removed when entering a home, leaving the soft-soled socks to be worn indoors.

If you have P50 and around 30m to spare (plus patience for rowdy/screaming children if you have the misfortune of being there during a field trip) visit @theshoemuseummarikina! Lovely piece of Philippine history in terms of ingenuity, hard work, and fashion. (Except the Imelda collection. That was just garish extravagance on her part at the expense of Filipinos...but I digress. #MarcosNOTAHero) Visited for a paper and got a lovely OJT as a guide who gamely answered my questions and shared some cool facts. The sidewalk outside has famous Marikina folks’ names on plaques with shoes. I found Raimund Marasigan! #theshoemuseum #shoemuseum #history #Philippinehistory #fashion #museum (at Shoe Museum Marikina City)

"Musuem" - I'd love to 'Buy a shoe a day' and create a shoe museum one day. - #sneakermuseum #shoemuseum #guggenheimmuseum

Any of you lovers of green? In Victorian Era, vibrant greens were made using dyes, including arsenic. Owners of green were not at risk, but the fabric dyers, none of who wore protective anything at the time, were constantly absorbing arsenic through their skin. #omg #historicshoes #historicfashion #fashionvictims #fashionvictim #fashion #oldfashion #victorian #victorianfashion #greenfashion #arsenic #deathbyfashion #fashiondeath #deathbyarsenic #fashionisdangerous #arsenicisdangerous #arsenicispoisonous beautifulgreen #emeraldgreen #emerald #ilovegreen #museum #fashionmuseum #fashionhistorymuseum #shoemuseum #fashionanthropology (at Bata Shoe Museum)

Divergent Dances for Windows and Walls at the Bata Shoe Museum

Tonight I had the pleasure of being invited out to the Bata Shoe Museum for the opening night of the newest Anandam Dance Theatre installation.

They created a living and interactive installation entitled Divergent Dances for Windows and Walls.

The experience began on the outside of the museum; from our vantage point on the north side of Bloor we could see four aerial dancers climb and uncoil and slide their way precariously on aerial ropes. My heart skipped a beat more then once watching the performers; one of which was Kevin O'Connor my friend and co-creative facilitator of this 4 day art installation.

As most of the performers moved inside there were still others performing outside, like the flyer said "There is never any specific place to view this installation. Wander freely about the spaces." Yes, this experience actually came with 7 instructions. I loved this aspect and truly thought the idea of "You will never be in the way-if you always remain sensitive to everyone around you", was very meaningful. 

            All I could think when I saw this was #diplo #expressyourself

The artists would contemporary dance in a group, then move in different directions, then some would perform on the aerial ropes, it was a very organic experience to watch grow and freely happen around you.

        This patron didn't know what to do when the performer moved in on her feet

At one point each of us in that room was part of the show, either by coming too close to a dancere who just kept dancing into you, or being asked to aid a performer get to a higher ledge, or when the finale created a giant intertwined, webbed rope living sculture out of volunteers from the crowd.

Do go if you can, the show runs thursday 25th to Saturday 27th. Doors open at 8! Get there early as it will no doubt sell out!

Love yous,

~@TaCaGo

p.s. Truly an experience that brought me joy.
