BootBoy Visits San Francisco to Worship Goddess Ming (Day 3)

Great Boot Quotes in History: Mae "Boot" West
Why don't you come up and see me sumtime. I'll let you. Lick my boots. 
Yesterday was truly awesome! I spent another day with the Goddess Ming. Although we have known each other for a long time, we learned a lot more about each other. The Goddess Ming is not a dominatrix, but she admitted to me that she has liked the idea since high school. The Goddess Ming's preferred style of boots are combat boots and she got her first pair when she was 14. She now has over 20 pairs of boots most of which are combat boots, but she also has a nice pair of thigh high boots, a pair of Charles David's and another pair of knee high zip up boots. 
The Goddess Ming is Chinese-American. She doesn't really fit into the neat Asian stereotype. She is her own person and that is why is a goddess. The Goddess Ming related to me that she went to a  metal band concert recently and wore a pair of her spike heel boot and kicked four guys with her boots becasue they were  "pissing her off". The Goddess Ming is no stranger to kicking people with her boots. She realized almost immediately how much fun it was to kick guys in the nuts with boots and then added kicks to the shins just to spice things up. The Goddess Ming is 5'0 and weighs 100 lbs. She is a tiny package of power. She has a bit of a temper, but she is also very sweet and extremely loyal. To have her as a friend makes you feel very secure because she will protect you from harm, unless she is the one doling out the punishment and in that case, you're screwed!
One of my favorite things is to have my food blessed by the Goddess Ming's boots or shoes. Yesterday as we were enjoying our Weinershitzel, I realized that my chili cheese dog was missing something. I placed my hot dog at the Goddess Ming's feet and she graciusly flattened it for me. A hot dog just isn't the same unless its been blessed by a goddesses boots. The Goddess Ming was in an irritable mood yesterday, so I to got to experience her dominance over me. This wasn't the usual play dominance. The Goddess Ming was in a bad mood and yelled at me several times. I trust the Goddess Ming to never hurt me and I know if she feels like being a bitch, all I can do is enjoy having her use her power on me. Perhaps someday, the Goddess Ming and I will have a true bondage session where she gives me a severe beating with  a bullwhip, her bare hands of a pair of her beloved boots. If that ever happens, it will be a truly moving event. and I will share every detail. We all share our love of knee high boots and female domination, so until the next time this is BootBoy.

BootBoy visits San Francisco for the Weekend!

BootBoy is on special assignment this weekend in San Francisco to worship the Goddess Ming (Day 2). 
Yesterday was another exciting day for BootBoy as he continued his journey to San Francisco. The day was filled with a visit to the San Francisco Botanical Gardens, one of Goddess Ming's favorite San Francisco destinations. Goddess Ming loves flowers and Agapantha's are one of her favorites. She also loves Star Gazer Lillies. The Botanical Gardens is a jewel located in the heart of San Francisco's Golden Gate Park. The Goddess Ming wore her new purple combat boots to help break them in, but had BootBoy take off her new powerful combat boots for her and put on her Converse All-Stars instead. Of coarse, BootBoy was require to kiss the Goddess Ming's converse for her after he laced them up. The Goddess Ming has no foot odor whatsoever. But for BootBoy sniffing her thick wool socks was a thrill nonetheless. 
BootBoy and the Goddess Ming have known each other for over 10 years, meeting a concert while he was one of his "world tours." The Goddess Ming took pity on BootBoy and appreciated how polite he was. Today, The Goddess Ming is one of BootBoy's closest personal friends. 
The weather in San Francisco yesterday was a mixture of fog, wind and sun. It was a perfect day to visit the Botanical Gardens, but an even better night for a dinner cruise on the San Francisco Bay. BootBoy had the honor of taking Goddess Ming on a scenic cruise that included a close-up view of Alcatraz and even traveling under the Golden Gate Bridge. Goddess Ming is extremely tough. She bravely stood outside on the deck of the ship as it passed under the bridge, not even bothering to put on a jacket. BootBoy was freezing cold, but his worship of her, made him stand by her side, until she made him lick her pretty boots for her later on. The Goddess Ming intermittently forced BootBoy to publicly humiliate himself by kissing her boots, especially before the cruise when she had him change back into her boots. Later that evening BootBoy got in serious trouble with the Goddess Ming for misunderstanding his bathroom privledges. BootBoy angered Goddess Ming. He can be quite stupid sometimes. The Goddess Ming ordered BootBoy to remove her beautiful purple boots and forced him to kiss her barefeet for his insolence. It serves him right!
In any event, it was another memorable day for BootBoy. Tomorrow he will give us a first-hand account of his mis-adventures. Until tomorrow, Nation. Good nite.

Great Boot Quotes in History: In all the confusion, I can't remember. Did I lick six boots or only five. - BootBoy, November 23 1994 after his first trip to Bondage-a-Go-Go

BootBoy visits San Francisco for the Weekend!

BootBoy is on special assignment this weekend in San Francisco to worship the Goddess Ming. Yesterday was an eventful day with lots of shopping, including a stunning purchase of a pair of 14 eyelit Purple Dr. Marin combat boots! The boots are completely amazing. They look like a Popsicles on size 5 feet! The size 5’s are adorable anyway, but with the grape boots covering them, BootBoy was completely obsessed. Unfortunately, the Goddess Ming had to break in her new boots by giving BootBoy a thorough ass kicking that included several minutes of sustained boot kicking. BootBoy is tough though. He withstood the boot kicking from the Goddess Ming and recovered quickly. Later, the Goddess Ming forced our hero to kiss her boots in public and even humiliated him further by crushing his Chipotle chips with her powerful boots and forcing him to eat them! Of course, BootBoy feels tremendous gratitude to the Goddess Ming for this public humiliation and hopes to endure more of it while on the rest of his “assignment”

In another important event, BootBoy saw the new Batman movie, The Dark Night Rises and provided Boot Nation with his own first hand descriptions.

Ann Hathaway completely steals the movie as Catwoman. It is difficult not to drool over her thigh-high black boots. We are introduced to Catwoman and her boots when she uses her superior martial arts skills on a weak man and she pins his hand against a wall with her 5” boot heel. The camera focuses on the action of her boot heel as if directed by Quentin Terrintino himself. It is classic boot cinematography. Ann Hathaway is so elegant walking and fighting in her thigh high boots. Her thigh high boot training from The Devil Wears Prada truly was the experience she needed to prepare her for the ultimate dominant female. Of course, on a personal note, I was distracted by the Goddess Ming’s purple combat boots. When Catwoman was not on screen, my eyes were down at Goddess Ming’s boots. For this reason, I really have no idea what happened in the rest of the movie. I will be sure to see it many more times in in the future and give you my impressions.

There you have it Boot Nation, straight out of BootBoy’s mouth. We hope the Goddess Ming doesn’t kick him in the mouth with her new boots. If so, BootBoy will give us all the details. Until tomorrow, ‘Nation, enjoy your weekend!

Female Athletes & Boots Month Ski Week: Julia Mancuso

Great Boot Quotes in History:

"Uh, Boot Nation. We have a problem" - The Crew of Apollo 13 upon realizing there were no knee-high boots on the Moon.

Female Athletes and Boots Month - Alpine Week

Julia Mancuso

Julia Mancuso is the ideal Boot Nation heroine. She is beautiful, successful and does whatever she wants. On skis, that means Julia wins races and Olympic medals. Mancuso won the gold medal in the Giant Slalom at the 2006 Winter Olympic Games in Turin, Italy. Four years later, Julia won two silver medals in the Downhill and Combined events. Julia's three Olympic medals at the most any female alpine skier has ever won during her Olympic career. In addition, Julia competed in the 2002 Winter Olympic Games in Salt Lake City Utah. Lastly, Julia has has seven wins on the World Cup circuit, including the 2012 season. 

Boot Nation loves Mancuso because of her power though. During the 2006 and 2010 Julia wore a plastic tiara during her races and she proved to be worthy of a queen. Julia's success is not limited to the slopes, however. Mancuso started her own lingerie line called Kiss My Tiara. Julia has also been an underwear model and modeled for Lange snow boots. 

Julia also wears knee high grey boots too! Julia plans to compete in her forth Olympic Games in Sochi, Russia in 2014. We hope to  see a lot more of Julia wearing her boots & tiara and winning medals in the future.

Female Athletes & Boots Month Michelle Kwan

Great Boot Quotes in History: 

This is one small step for a boot, one Giant leap for BOOT NATION!

Female Athletes and Boots Month - Ice Skating Week (Bonus Day) Michelle Kwan

Michelle Kwan is the most loved U.S. female athlete of

all-time. Her career is marked by unsurpassed brilliance and heartbreaking defeat. Five time World Champion (1996, 1998, 2000, 2001 and 2003); Nine time U.S. Champion including eight consecutive titles from 1998 - 2005; Silver Medal at the 1998 Winter Olympic Games in Nagano, Japan and Bronze Medal at the 2002 Winter Olympic Games in Salt Lake City, Utah. She is the most decorated figure skater in U.S. history. In 2012 Michelle was inducted into both the U.S. Figure Skating Hall of Fame and the 

World Figure Skating Hall of Fame. 

Accolades and medals cannot describe how Kwan is appreciated. Michelle Kwan is one of the rare athletes who transcends her sport. Michelle's Olympic career was marked by incredible disappointment, from her missing the 1994 Winter Games in Lillihamer, Norway when Tonia Harding should have been disqualified for her role in the attack on fellow American skater, Nancy Kerrigan to her crushing defeat to Tara Lipinski at the 1998 Winter Olympic games to her eventual withdrawal from the 2006 Olympic Games in Turin, Italy. 

None of those "failures" matter though. Michelle Kwan's legacy is that of a winner, her World Championships,

U.S. Championships, silver and bronze Olympic medals are only part of her legacy. Kwan never quit, she never gave up and she always had a smile at the end of the day. Kwan has come to realize her importance as a person to us all and how her willingness to continue fighting is an inspiration to everyone. 

Today, Michelle Kwan is a mentor to 2010 Winter Olympic gold medalist Yu-na Kim. They have become close friends and have skated together in Korea. The only question I have is: when did Michelle Kwan get so pretty! Her big brown eyes, long black hair and tiny body are amazing. But it's her easy laugh and infectious smile that really touches us. 

Lastly, Michelle does wear her knee-high boots from time to time. But unlike other "good girls" we don't want her to put on her boots and kick us. We just want to watch her skate.
