The expression “kinky boots” meant little to me until Shannon Blue started modeling. We pursued her after the editors saw her photo in a British tabloid newspaper. It took a while to get her into our studio.

“I’ve broken a few bra hooks,” Shannon said. “They tend to bend under pressure. But I’ve never broken a swimsuit or bikini strap. That kind of material is stretchy. Stretchy tops are what I like to wear.”

What Shannon wears in this scene is quintessentially British. The Latex clothing. The boots. Correction: the kinky boots.

Shannon was not a nudist, swinger, model or stripper before this. She’s a mother and a grandmother who worked in an office. “I suppose I am a GILF,” she said.

Shannon did go to a nudist resort. “I tried it once in the UK,” she said. “It was a good feeling. Very liberating.”

After getting a divorce, Shannon did a 180-degree lifestyle transformation and jacked up her tits. She got tattoos. She had her nipples and pussy pierced. She also has piercing eyes, if you can lift your sight line above her tits.

“Even though it’s an accident that I can make a career out of this, I’m just going to milk it and get everything that I can,” Shannon said on the Channel 5 TV show OMG: My Midlife Plastic Crisis. I thought “milk” was an interesting choice of words.
