you don’t understand my gf’s pov when it comes to shoes.
Does he give her a discount or anything because she has pretty feet? I would definitely get a pedicure for that, but I admit, I would probably paint my nails just for a little fawning attention. It’s fun to be complimented!
bingo.
No cite or anything, but I recall reading a claim some years ago that a disproportionate number of transvestites were in jobs that require uniforms; police, military, etc.
I would imagine selling shoes would be a lot more likely to cure a foot fetish than to encourage one. The grand majority of customers aren’t cute young girls who pedicure themselves before going shoe shopping.
I don’t know. From my gf’s description of the store, these are shoes costing $200 a pair and up. Where I go for shoes, you pick out and try on your own shoes and most pairs go for $19.99 with buy two get one specials.
Maybe I just watched too much Married With Children.
Morticians.

Which is what I think about when I’m getting a professional pedicure. It seems to me that it always happens that when I go for my biennial pedicure the person who ends up at the station next to me is an ancient lady with gnarled feet and tree bark toenails pointing every which way. I’m not judging them, and I know I’m heading that way, but I cannot imagine being the pedicurist.
And, my reaction to “why is she getting dolled up for the creeper?” was also that he might knock a little bit off the price if she lets him linger or tries on a pair she has not intention of buying. The OP did say we’re talking about high end shoes.
And my mom dated a guy who had a thing (maybe fetish) for super high heels and he worked in women’s shoe store.
Actually a lot of actual necrophiliacs do pursue this line of work for that very reason. I would imagine it would be a pretty easy fetish to hide in open company- people are skeeved out about the dead anyway, they probably work by themselves for long stretches, nobody’s asking their dead relatives to point at the part of the doll where the bad man touched them, etc.
I can’t imagine wanting to be in that line without some skeevy reason. Unless you inherit the business.
