Knee socks and street shoes


Bringing Segue Week to a close with this puzzling 1900-ish photo of a man in his striped swim suit.  Why he is wearing street shoes and knee socks is beyond me.  When I posted it back in 2018, nobody had a clue.  Of course, not that many folks were viewing my blog back then.

  1. Snakes? Scorpions? Nettles or briars or poison ivy? Mice? Unsightly feet, awkward ankles, less than manly shins? I'm on it!

    1. It reminds me of some early 20th C. straight porn movies where the men kept their shoes and socks on.

    2. I'm happy to admit I am not familiar with straight pornography.
