BOOT OF THE MONTH

Can you identify these gorgeous boots, or tell us who wore them, and why? American and Canadian boot fetishists should remember these silver-leather thigh-highs from an early '80s television sitcom entitled, "Mork & Mindy." Actress Raquel Welch strutted beautifully in these custom-made boots for an episode of the show that had every bootlover in North America drooling into his or her television sets! We have the whole story behind this exquisite pair of boots, including who designed them, who made them and where they are now! Oh, and we have plenty of exclusive photos of Raquel wearing them, too!

What happened next is something that definitely deserves a confession!
