p1ng74 Posted August 17, 2022 Share Posted August 17, 2022 I just came across this historical drama, and I'm only 9 minutes into it, where we are introduced to the story of King Louis XIV's red heels. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

p1ng74 Posted August 18, 2022 Author Share Posted August 18, 2022 Just a disclosure, there are some prominent and sex scenes, so it is NSFW. I've just finished watching it, and it's a nice drama on various tensions during the time of Jean-Baptiste Lully's service to Louis XIV. It's the era when only men danced ballet and wore heels, what a time! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chorlini Posted September 25, 2022 Share Posted September 25, 2022 I doubt that Louis XIV would wear a pair of So Kate's if he had them in his day. They would look too unmasculine. Which is saying a lot considering the fashion of that age. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shyheels Posted September 25, 2022 Share Posted September 25, 2022 They might look very unmasculine in our eyes, but who’s to say how they might have appeared in the eyes of a 17th century French monarch who is known to gave been quite a peacock? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
