On the Wrong Foot


Book Description

The origin of today’s crises in Ukraine goes way back. The track record of internal upheavals and battles with neighbours is there. For ten centuries the country has had to endure history’s ominous, hostile, and often quirky twists that have time after time caught Ukraine on the wrong foot and sealed its fate. For twenty-two years the vision for change was absolutely clear. The desire to join Europe was repeatedly stated by every one of the four presidents of Ukraine during this time. But with no coherent leadership strategy, tactics took control of vision. Even after a last minute rush to pass six laws that would have secured a far-reaching European Union partnership, an all-consuming crisis wrecked Ukraine’s chance to step into Europe as a genuine partner.




ONE FOOT WRONG


Book Description

A brilliant first novel of profound depth, startling originality and breathtaking talent. A child is imprisoned in a house by her reclusive religious parents. Hester has never seen the outside world; her companions are Cat, Spoon, Door, Handle, Broom, and they all speak to her. Her imagination is informed by one book, an illustrated child`s bible, and its imagery forms the sole basis for her capacity to make poetic connection. One day Hester takes a brave Alice in Wonderland trip into the forbidden outside (at the behest of Handle `turn me turn me`), and this overwhelming encounter with light and sky and sunshine is a marvel to her. From this moment on, Hester learns the concept of the secret, and not telling, and the world becomes something that fills her with feeling as if she is a vessel, empty and bottomless for need of it.




Getting Off on the Wrong Foot


Book Description

How utterly humiliating it must be for you, being attracted to the bare feet of another man. So coarse, so muscular, so sweaty -- and these are the things that turn you on? Is that what you fantasize about? Dragging your tongue slowly up a hipster boy's naked soles? Putting a frat boy's plump raw toes in your mouth so you can suck all of the flavor right out of them? Being dominated by the sandal-clad footflesh of a mere 20-something man in the comfort of his own apartment? Of course, we haven't even gotten to the tickling yet. Or the edging. In fact, you haven't even begun to realize what deep trouble you're in -- or maybe you have, judging by the tent that's forming in your pants right now ... Completing a trilogy that started with HOW TO BE A TICKLE SLAVE (hailed as an "instant classic" by the Big Tickle Blog) and continued on with the acclaimed MY, WHAT TICKLISH FEET YOU HAVE, James T. Medak brings you another devious collection of fetish erotica in the form of GETTING OFF ON THE WRONG FOOT, his most devious, ambitious set of freaky fetish tales to date. Kidnappings, forced foot worship (on both ends), an absolutely merciless level of tickle torture and the most diabolical edging you can imagine are all wrapped up in Medak's latest tempting tome, featuring two brand new stories that have never been seen anywhere else, including "The Market," a story so epic in scope it takes up over half the book. You'll note in the first few pages that a requirement to reading this book is that you do so without shoes or socks on, because that in itself is its own form of submission -- and guess what, boy? You're about to submit to deepest, most secret fantasies you've ever, ever had ...

What the Eye Hears


Book Description

Magisterial, revelatory, and-most suitably-entertaining, What the Eye Hears offers an authoritative account of the great American art of tap dancing. Brian Seibert, a dance critic for The New York Times, begins by exploring tap's origins as a hybrid of the jig and clog dancing from the British Isles and dances brought from Africa by slaves. He tracks tap's transfer to the stage through blackface minstrelsy and charts its growth as a cousin to jazz in the vaudeville circuits and nightclubs of the early twentieth century. Seibert chronicles tap's spread to ubiquity on Broadway and in Hollywood, analyzes its decline after World War II, and celebrates its rediscovery and reinvention by new generations of American and international performers. In the process, we discover how the history of tap dancing is central to any meaningful account of American popular culture. This is a story with a huge cast of characters, from Master Juba (it was probably a performance of his in a Five Points cellar that Charles Dickens described in American Notes for General Circulation) through Bill Robinson and Shirley Temple, Fred Astaire and Ginger Rogers, and Gene Kelly and Paul Draper to Gregory Hines and Savion Glover. Seibert traces the stylistic development of tap through individual practitioners, vividly depicting dancers both well remembered and now obscure. And he illuminates the cultural exchange between blacks and whites over centuries, the interplay of imitation and theft, as well as the moving story of African-Americans in show business, wielding enormous influence as they grapple with the pain and pride of a complicated legacy.What the Eye Hears teaches us to see and hear the entire history of tap in its every step.

Under Jill's Feet


Book Description

This is a true story. Brent and Jill actually exist, and this is the story of their first experiences. And how from there, Jill, master manipulator and evil genius, took Brent's foot fetish from sucking a few toes to places he never considered or wanted to go. Like the inside of Jill's toilet bowl. Or the bottom of her friends boots. How Jill, church girl, farm girl, seemingly the most innocent of women, created a game plan, a campaign, to make a helpless Brent her complete slave, and lovingly devoted slave at that. This book details her plan, step by step, taking Brent from foot play, to shoe and boot play, to water works, to the inside of her toilet bowl; eventually forcing Brent to truly believe and come to the realization he belonged on Jill's floor, under her feet. Read about Jill's campaign of humiliation; it's almost a handbook guiding the reader into developing their own slave, a guide book on how to take the foot fetishist into slavery, using just their sexual desires. Jill doesn't work, she has Brent for that. And when he's not at work, he's at home, working for Jill, cooking, cleaning, doing her laundry (sometimes in his mouth!!!). She owns him. He knows it.Jill is, without doubt, a genius, and no one knows it but her. And possibly Brent. Which is exactly how she wants it. If you love feet, this story will excite you, but will also warn you about how your fetish can be used against you if you aren't careful. If you're on the receiving end of foot love and want to develop it into slavery (and who doesn't want a slave?), this book will instruct you on how to do that too.However you take it, this book will illustrate a campaign of manipulation designed to lower a fetishist beyond sex, and into actual slavery. Jill hopes you enjoy it, comment on it, if only to take Brent's humiliation to a whole other level. She will be looking for your participation, likely reading those comments to Brent while he's in his place; on Jill's floor, under Jill's feet. And oh, one more thing, Jill really wants you to know there's actually a picture of her and Brent in the book. She insisted on it, and played Brent's horrified reaction into a vacation in Mexico if she didn't say which picture it was. She might be sipping on a margarita while Brent cleans her beach flip flops right now, who knows! Enjoy!!!Note: the paperback includes all three episodes currently available, the ebook version only two.Hello all! Something new for readers of the "Under Jill's Feet" books.
