On Thursday the lovely folks at Emerson College and Emerson’s Alliance for Gay Lesbians and Everyone (aka EAGLE) hosted our first ever college show!
I decided to take pictures of my feet as they went through various stages of footwear and foot care in the show. I forgot to include my street shoes before and afterwards, just imagine knee-high boots at the beginning and end of this sequence.

boyshorts for my new femme show piece
batteries for the camera

velcro and snaps
black netting for my works in progress hat
