I found this old image of Nichelle Nichols (Uhura from "Star trek) trying to walk in crotch-high ballet boots. It's the cover from a 1960's theater footwear catalog:
The original scan was from a cheap catalog, printed on plain paper. The type on the back had bled-through. I cleaned-up the image a bit, in Photoshop.
Should I also post this in the "Ballet Boots" thread?
