Hi,
In October 2014 we started to brainstorm ideas on what Chilly Feet shootings should look like in the forthcoming season. http://forum.city-feet.com/index.php/showtopic.5046 Unfortunately, the practical outcome hasn´t been that great yet, which is quite understandable. Shooting in winter is simply too difficult. How about giving it one more try but speak about summer (early autumn) season instead?

A personal assistant
A PA is asked to deliver a parcel to an important client. Unfortunately, it´s raining. The girl knows that if she goes outside, her umbrella won´t protect her. She´ll be soaking wet in a few seconds and her new heels will be ruined. So when the boss doesn´t allow her to take a taxi, she´ll start to undress. She takes off her jacket, kicks off her shoes and takes off the stockings. Then she takes the parcel, grabs the umbrella and leaves the office.
The client is based somewhere quite far away, which means that the girl has to walk for a long time to the nearest metro station. When she reaches the platform, she sits down on a bench and rubs her toes, now cold and wet. When she leaves the metro, she has to walk again for a few minutes. She finds out that the client isn´t available and returns back to the office, rubbing her toes time to time and cursing the boss.

Tea room friends
Two business ladies are drinking tea in a tea room where guests are expected to take off their shoes. One of the ladies is wearing a skirt and stockings, the other is sporting black trousers and black socks. When they want to leave, they find out that their shoes have been stolen. The trouser woman peels off her socks and puts them into the handbag, the skirt one decides to remain in her stocking feet.
In the street they want to take a bus, but it won´t come, so they have to walk back to the office. It takes them at least 30 minutes. Their feet are dirty and the fine stockings are full of holes in no time. In the end the skirt lady, embarrassed, gets rid of the stockings and walks barefoot as well. Again, a rainy weather would be nice but not necessary.

Note: I´ve never been into stockings, but today I saw a lady like that. Her feet were awesome and looked great even next to her friend´s feet that were completely bare. Such pattern might make a nice alternative to a barefoot girl with her shod friend scenario.
Cheers,

PS The following examples show that other users have their ideas as well. What do you think about their suggestions? Are they better than mine? 

How about reviving barefoot extreme style video, where girls would push their feet to the max in some challenges(maybe even in form of actual challenge with price). Like for example girls jumping on thumbtacks or maybe staying on anthill) Something more hardcore then cigarettes or snow.

Ok, it seems to me that many of the ideas put forward here are becoming a bit contrived, a bit forced.

Now of course, each to his own but to me the value and essence of CF site is that it seeks to represent everyday situations across which we appear to have stumbled (or at least across which Paul seems to have stumbled with his camera).

One such situation I'd suggest is a Barefoot Biker Girl scenario in which we follow a group of bikers - nothing heavy like Hell's Angels or anything just mainstream people (again the eroticism of the ordinary)

Part 1: we see our girl in her flat dressed in either drainpipe jeans or PVC trousers (like Jenya in Spring Barefoot Walk http://www.city-feet.com/updates/1432/view). Barefoot obviously, she is pottering around the flat - maybe with heavy metal music playing - when the doorbell rings and it's her friend (shod of course). Our girl dons her leather jacket and they both leave the flat - one still shod and our heroine barefoot. On the way to the metro station they stop off to buy beer and cigarettes.

Part 2: metro journey to biker (boy)friend's house where a number are gathered. All then leave to go to a place in the city to 'hang out', including our girl who rides on back of a friend's motorbike. They assemble in city park or deserted building, desolate old railyard etc. and drink, smoke a goof around. Her feet become grimy but cope easily with the rough surfaces. She extinguishes cigarettes barefoot. BUT no one says anything - it's just taken as part of who she is - a wild barefoot girl.

Part 3: as darkness looms they head off to a music venue (indoor or outdoor but crowded and grimy) to watch a band and drink and smoke some more. Ends with either metro or motorbike journey back to her flat.

I picture a model with a rebellious look who AT NO STAGE - plays up to the camera or even acknowledges its presence. This is what puts me off Masha who has come in for huge praise in another thread: yes, she's pretty and everything but plays up to the camera making it obvious that this is a staged photo-shoot and thus robs it of any eroticism. Our girl must also have painted toenails and wear full makeup - she is in no way butch.

A barefoot girl with shod friends, leaving the flat and going to a filthy nighclub!

Haven't seen that theme for ages!

Thanks for breathing new life into my suggestion from a few weeks ago, bfwatcher, I still think it's a winner.
The key for me is that scenarios should not be too contrived - they should be as we have stumbled across something that could take place in real life.
As such I'd also suggest shoots with barefoot girls from different music 'tribes'.
So we might have: Goth, Punk, Rocker, Hippie (though to my mind we see enough of them already thanks all the same), metal etc etc. I'd love to see a barefoot girl in the midst of a crazy gig. I came across this which I think sums it up brilliantly (ok the girls are the act but they still plunge barefoot into the crowd)

Personally I'd vote for the barefoot punk or goth girl with black painted toenails. She be with friends and go to the gig with shod friends. We'd see her get ready, travel to the gig, dance around, drink and return home all barefooted.
Come on, Paul, there must be loads of grimy music venues in Moscow.
More suggestions please.
Oh, and just in case I haven't made it crystal clear over the past 10 years CAN WE HAVE MORE OLDER MODELS PLEASE.
Oh, yeah, and please send a couple of models over for this year's Notting Hill carnival. Let me remind you: the last Monday in August. Plenty of cheap hotels here in West London and only a four hour flight away!
Simples.

Thanks for your reply, mike123. I totally agree that the scenarios should be beliveable, and I think that the one on stolen shoes I´ve suggested could easily happen anywhere in the world. I admit that the PA´s story is a bit farfetched but doesn´t Alexandra look stunning in here? http://www.city-feet.com/models/163/view

Oh yes! A goth girl with black painted nails would be irresistable in any scenario. Personally, I´d like to see her travel to the cemetery to put flowers on her favourite writer´s grave - preferably in autumn of course, but summer would be fine as well.

As for your "crazy gig" idea, I sure like it but in my opinion it won´t be easy to do it well. As in your clip, it´s dark, people are everywhere and you don´t even notice that our girl is barefooted. Of course, I don´t want to underestimate Paul´s expertise.

Come on, people! More ideas, please!
