2006 NEW YEAR'S MESSAGE

Wearing boots 365 days/year, that is, once more, my warmest resolution for 2006.

“Think of our mutual inclination for men’s boots, rubber/leather, as a preparation for the next life when we probably shall become just that, a heavy, at least knee high, pair of rubber/leather boots and our goal to protect from outside shit and to preserve inside male sweat.”

HAPPY NEW YEAR

ONE MORE BLOG

Como um viajante inveterado que sou e como tenho meu actual blog a abarrotar, resolvi criar um novo espaço dedicado exclusivamente às minhas viagens.
Claro está, que não estou para criar um portal para o mundo, um Blog ilustrativo tipo agência de viagens ou site de turismo, mas como um inveterado individualista, crio este Blog para meu próprio prazer e para recordar.
Sempre do ponto de vista de um fetichista que busca o mesmo a cada paragem: Botas e Homens que as usem.
Permito-me assim, repartir com aqueles que partilham dos mesmos gostos as informações pertinentes, as experiências e o sentir. Claro está, que também o faço para todos os curiosos e possuidores de espíritos abertos.

Assim, a partir deste Janeiro de 2006, cada mês será dedicado a uma cidade, região ou país que visito.
Venha conhece-lo no: http://travellingandboots.blogspot.com/
Seja então, muito bem-vindo (a) e desfrute...

As a frequent traveller, I’ve decided to create a new blog: This blog will be a little more than a window to the world.
This new blog has the standpoint of a fetishist who always searches for the same in his visited places: Boots and Men who use them.
Let me share the pertinent information, the experiences and feelings with those having the same tastes. Of course I also do it for all curious people with open spirits.

Thus, from this January of 2006, that I introduce you ISTANBUL, each month will be dedicated to a city region or country that I visit.
So, let me invite you to know it at: http://travellingandboots.blogspot.com/

Welcome and enjoy

When the moment of reunion arrives, Dum gets involved in a fire fight and cannot possibly reach Rumpoey in time. She is desperate: her father has married her off to a policeman. The taciturn Dum, called the 'Black Tiger' by his co-conspirators, has however not forgotten Rumpoey.

Will the two lovers ever meet up? This urgent question propels the melodrama forward, supported by exciting music, spectacular shootouts and heroic duels.

TALKING ABOUT RUBBER BOOTS AND MACHINE GUNS

Reference: And Starring Pancho Villa as Himself (2003) (TV)
Directed by Bruce Beresford
Cast: Antonio Banderas as Pancho Villa
Runtime: 112 min
Country: USA
Color: Colour

Plot Summary: Mexican revolutionary Pancho Villa finds himself without adequate funding to finance his war against the military-run government. He also finds himself at odds with the Americans because of the Hearst media empire's press campaign against him. To counter both of these, he sends emissaries to movie producers to convince them to pay to film his progress and the actual battles. Producer D.W. Griffith (Colm Feore) becomes interested and sends Frank Thayer (Eion Bailey) with a film crew to develop film reels. Thayer becomes horrified and fascinated by the bandit. He finds an enigmatic individual that is both ghoulishly brutal and charmingly captivating. The resulting film became the first feature length movie, introducing scores of Americans to the true horrors of war that they had never personally seen. Thayer sold the studios on making the film despite their concerns that no one would sit through a movie longer than 1 hour by convincing them that they could raise the price of movies to ten cents, doubling the going price at that time. Contains graphic violence, including bloody executions, nudity and crude language.
