Brandophilia
Geek Space sent in a link to the site converse-fetish.com, saying: “wasn’t expecting a porn site. What is this subset of the alt-porn thing?” That’s just what converse-fetish.com is, a porn site dedicated to anyone obsessed with the sight of people naked except for Converse sneakers. The same company offers sites for Keds and sneakers in general. At first blush, it’s hard to believe that the sites are serious about their fetish. Most likely they’re just the work of an entrepreneurial pornmeister looking to differentiate his properties from the glut of other porn sites online.
But then, serendipitously, the BBC just posted today a news item about a man who claims to suffer from a fetish for Ugg boots.
A man with a fetish for Ugg boots has admitted using the internet to harass a group of schoolgirls in the Leeds area. Mark Southeby, 38, used social networking sites to contact the girls. An “enormous number” of photographs of teenage girls wearing Ugg boots were found on his mobile phone, Leeds Crown Court heard. Southeby, of Dutton Way, Iver, Bucks, also developed an online relationship with one 15-year-old and tried to goad her into a series of sex acts. Southeby, who is unemployed, admitted three counts of inciting sexual activity involving the same 15-year-old girl and six offences of harassing teenage girls. The court heard the married stepfather infiltrated a group of girls at a secondary school in the Leeds area by posing as their friends using fake email addresses. His mobile phone also contained an “enormous number” of photographs of teenage girls wearing the popular sheepskin footwear. He was particularly interested in Ugg boots, which he later told police he had a fetish about.
If you read the story cynically, you might think that this business about the Ugg boots is just a cover for the real kink — young girls. But then it turns out that there is at least one web site for Ugg fetishists. So perhaps this man really does harbor a brand-specific foot fetish. The boots are kind of cute…
It all makes you wonder, though. Where is the line between the consumer’s “fetish” for branded items and the pervert’s fetish for branded items? Is it time to invent yet another perversion? Brandophilia: noun. Sexual excitement derived from or enhanced by the presence of a brand, trademark, or label. See also brandophile and brandophiliac…
I’ve never even heard of, or seen, those horrible looking boots before.
Now I think I get the picture; Is this Really what may be called a ‘Fetish’? Or is it just a further sign / symptom of the urban, western obsession with consumerism and branding?
Nike was the last one I heard about. Extremely desirable, to a certain ’sub culture’ of people. But I never heard of anyone feeling the urge to masturbate over the things.
Surely it’s a true fetish when one Only wants to stick ones dick in the object ~ or at least someone displaying the object?
This looks like just another fashion fad.
hey supervert thanks for refing me and linking the article. and the bonus you threw in with the ugg guy thanks.
love your words/as always !!!
:)
after awhile ugg boots take on the smell of old sweaty cheese due to the bacteria from the sweat going into the lambs wool, plus they are ugly as hell, but this guy’s desire might be a combination of foot fetish, fetish for teen girls and the way most of those wearing ugg boots tend to be total slappers, it’s the desire for the forbidden fruit hidden inside of those ugg boots that may be driving him, very young well formed cheesey smelling feet.
most guys with a foot fetish prefer high heels and sling backs with panty hose but hey each to their own.
YUMMY at the Converse site.
Nothing like a hot broad in a pair of Chucks and knee high socks. YUM!
