"In relating his memories of his marriage, DeMille, certainly
unconscious of the implications, once admitted that he first became
enchanted with Constance [Adams] when he saw her feet as she was
walking up a staircase. Later, in his great days in Hollywood,
DeMille's apparent foot fetish, mild but nevertheless motivating, was an
open secret. Actresses learned to literally lead with their feet if they
wanted a job. The most famous incident involved
twenty-nine-year-old Paulette Goddard, who, when the director was
casting "North West Mounted Police" (1940), walked into his office at
Paramount studios completely made up for the part of the sexy female lead
and slapped a bare foot on his desk. She got the job. And
although the idea has been attributed to a number of people, including
Douglas Fairbanks, Mary Pickford, and theater owner Sid Grauman, it was
probably DeMille's suggestion that Grauman immortalize Hollywood's famous
by asking them to imprint their feet in soft cement in front of his newly
opened Chinese theater (now Mann's Chinese Theater),
starting a tradition that created one of the most popular tourist
attractions in Hollywood."
-- David Wallace, discussing how legendary producer Cecil B. DeMille found
his companions and stars, in "Lost Hollywood"

"Okay, I admit it -- I desperately hate one thing about my body: I have
size 11 feet. I can't believe people care about what shoe size I wear! I
mean, I'm not a guy, so it doesn't mean anything! Yeah, it sucks. But
really, I don't even care anymore. It sucks because in
stores I see all these supercute shoes like Guccis, YSLs, and Manolos. And
when they're brought out in my size, they look like clown shoes on me! I
can't wear flats because my feet are too long. At least high heels shrink
how long my feet look. But forget about ever seeing me in ballet slippers
or tennis shoes: I'd look like I was wearing canoes!" -- Paris Hilton in

	"There's one way to separate the beautiful women from the truly
beautiful women and this is by their toes. If a girl's toes aren't lovely
little piggies, she is completely off my radar no matter what she looks
like. She can be Miss America, but if I look down and her feet are busted,
it's *off*. Let me give you an example of the worst kind of toe jam:
Picture clear plastic, high-ass, come-fuck-me stripper  pumps with a set
of crooked toes hangin' ten over the front.
For God's sake, ladies, do what you have to do, because there has to be a
solution. Is the shoe too big? I haven't worn pumps, but it seems to me
that if they fit right, them thangs wouldn't slide out there on their own
like that. When they do, it's like a fender bender: Everyone slows down to
check it out then speeds up and moves on real quick, knowing that no one
is hurt but the shit is mangled and in desperate need of a toe truck.

	"(Never fear, there are solutions. No-Slips are rubber inserts that
adhere to the sole of an open-toed sandal or pump to form a clingy surface
between foot and shoe. In field-testing conducted by experts at the Tommy
Lee Finishing School for Female Feet, introduction of No-Slips has been
found to greatly reduce toe-hang. In extreme
instances, Lee's team of experts recommends the insertion of Toe-Beds, an
orthopedic insole, into all closed-toe shoes to aid the prevention of
painful corns, calluses, and unsightly toe-squish. Consult your local shoe
salesman, pharmacist, or orthopedist for more information.)

	"Pamela, my ex-wife, the mother of my kids, one of the most
gorgeous women I have ever laid on, has the *most* amazing toes. When we
were together I had to keep myself from eating them right off her feet
every fucking day. Dude, it was hard. Her toes are perfect.
*Fuck*, her whole set of feet is rad. But I knew that before I met her.
I'd seen nude pictures of her before we met and the first thing I did was
clock her toes."

his relationship with wife number two, in "Tommyland."

"Some people are sexually aroused by things that have nothing to do  with
sex. Things like shoes, gloves, a piece of rubber, or some soft  silky
cloth can stimulate some people. These things are called
fetishes (the word is transferred from its more common meaning:
anything that people believe has supernatural power and is therefore 
treated with great reverence). American males tend to be turned on by 
breasts; but we would not call the breast a fetish because it seems  to be
related to sexuality. Chinese men, I understand, are often
aroused by a dainty female foot. Americans might think such
fascination with a foot a fetish; but a Chinese man might think it 
intrinsically sexy. So we cannot be absolute. But most of us agree  that a
shoe or piece of fur that turns people on would be a fetish." -- Lewis B.
