SEGMENT ONE: MONICA AND LAORA

Monica and Laora also star in the tickling video Last Laugh Zayin. 

Monica pulls off one of Laora’s socks before removing her own goofy multicolored socks with individual toes (one of which she was clearly wearing sole side up for some reason). Laora’s second socks follows shortly after. Each argues that the other girl's feet are the prettiest. Their feet are rather active: they move around, they fight, they dance, they socialize, they do toes spreads… 

At first each girl holds up her feet in front of her, soles pressed together, toes wiggling. But Monica and Laora can't resist doing some interaction for very long, so they soon put their feet together. Later they rest on their stomach in the “pose”, their feet waving and wiggling in the background. Finally they kneel on the couch, facing away from the camera, showing off their soles, toes down. Those pesky feet simply won't keep still.

SEGMENT TWO: CAROLINE AND JACINTHE

Caroline and Jacinthe also star in the tickling video Last Laugh Chet. 

Caroline and Jacinthe are sitting on the old, worn out couch I have in my bedroom. Their feet are resting on the equally worn out ottoman. They remove each other’s socks and the foot show begins. One interesting detail is that, according to Jacinthe, she’s got size 9 feet, which is fairly large for her 5’2” height. Caroline’s feet are more average-sized, at size 7 for 5’3”. Still, somehow, Jacinthe’s feet don’t look that much larger than Caroline. This may be due in part to the fact that Caroline’s are wider. For the first few minutes there’s a lot of foot-to-foot rubbing going on. Then they place their feet side by side on the ottoman for a better view of their soles. They also do some toe wiggling. 

Jacinthe lies down at one end of the couch and Caroline sits at the other. They spend the next few minutes on a mutual foot massage session. They dedicate a fair amount of time to playing with each other’s toes, sticking their fingers between them. It occurs to me that it would have been nice if Jacinthe’s girlfriend, who happens to be waiting the next room, would have joined the other two models. Unfortunately, she isn’t comfortable with appearing on camera. I wonder if she’s a bit envious of Caroline right now…
 I wasn’t exactly sure how this new position would turn out, as I pretty much left the girls decide the specifics. I basically asked them to place themselves so that one would have her toes up and the other toes down while showing their soles. It ended up with Caroline sitting on the couch with her feet propped on the ottoman and Jacinthe awkwardly lying down on her, her feet on each side of Caroline’s. Frankly, at first glance, it looks rather indecent, and the girls realize it full well (while finding it very amusing). While fun to watch, it’s not particularly comfortable, so the girls soon disengage and try a variation on the same theme. Now they’re side by side on the couch, with Caroline more or less sitting and Jacinthe in a weird position in which her toes are down but her torso is twisted so as to face Caroline. The effect is really rather neat, I think. They chat about various things while moving their feet and rubbing them together a bit. Finally, I make them work by having them lift their feet up and keep them there for a minute or so, mobile soles facing the camera. In the end they wave goodbye. 
There’s a semi-transparent plastic container on the floor. In it are a few dozen large marbles of two different colors. On each side of the container are two smaller, shallow containers. Caroline and Jacinthe are about to play a game. The rules are sample. Caroline is in charge of the dark marbles and Jacinthe has the light ones. The number of marbles of each color is the same. Each girl has to pick up her marbles with her toes, one by one, and place them in her own small container. She has to alternate feet each time she picks up a marble so that she doesn’t always get to use her most dexterous foot. If she picks up a marble of the wrong color by mistake she has to put it back. Marbles that are dropped outside of the destination container must be picked up again or else they don’t count. The winner is the first to have all of her marbles in her container. The girls don’t actually fight each other and must try to avoid getting in each other’s way, but having them work in the same small space makes things rather chaotic. I try my best to follow the action on both fronts. The match is very close. I won’t say who wins, as I don’t want to ruin the surprise. But whoever loses gets another chance, as we do a second match. This time the marbles are smaller. They’re actually harder to grab than the larger ones. Also, the difference in marble colors isn’t as obvious as before, Jacinthe having the greenish ones while Caroline has the blue ones with a bit of white in them. It’s a significantly tougher, more confusing challenge than before. The game also takes longer despite a similar number of marbles. The girls make several mistakes, picking up marbles of the wrong color. Simply putting them back wastes a lot of time. Also, the small marbles can sometimes be hard to let go of. Once again, I won’t say who wins. Suffice to say that one player has a pretty good lead at one point, but the other player manages to catch up.

SEGMENT THREE: CORINNE
Corinne initially came over for a tickling shoot. Unfortunately, she turned out not to be ticklish enough. But there was no reason why we couldn't do a foot shoot instead. So that's why the first scene begins as she's unzipping and pulling off her second boot. She also ditches her socks, revealing her bare size 9s. While she's just fine with showing off her feet like this, she remarks that she does find it a bit unusual and amusing, as she's not used to having her feet be the center of attention. I make sure I get plenty of shots of her soles. A few minutes into the scene she lies on her back, head to the camera, and swings her legs back. She spends some time pressing her feet against her face, then she expose her soles some more. By the way, we can sometimes be heard conversing with a third person, who happens to be Corinne's boyfriend. But not to worry, he's not particularly intrusive, and he's never seen on camera. If anything, his presence helps Corinne feel more at ease during her foot show. 
 The second scene is pretty simple but effective. Corinne leans back in an armchair, pulls her right foot towards her and starts licking it. After a while her left foot feels neglected so she switches. In addition to licking there's also some toe sucking going on. At one point Corinne has all 5 toes of one foot in her mouth. Near the end of the scene she takes a quick break and takes a look at her feet, remarking that they have a few sparkly bits on them because of her lip gloss. She finishes the scene by managing to suck both big toes at the same time, albeit just for a few moments.
Right from the start of the shoot, Corinne expressed a desire to do something with her feet other than just showing them off. So for the last scene I suggested that she do a painting. I provided her with a large piece of cardboard, some paintbrushes and a few different colors of paint. The shoot took place a week before Christmas 2006, so Corinne chose a subject appropriate for the season: a Christmas tree. It took her over 15 minutes to do the whole thing, but I edited the footage, keeping less than half to prevent it from getting too repetitive and boring. So anyway, Corinne starts by painting the contour of the tree with green paint, including the trunk. Then she fills it out. She eventually switches to her left foot, which she claims is less agile than the right, but it doesn't really show. Then again, filling out the body of the tree doesn't require as much dexterity as the contour. She really gets into her task, taking care to do the best job she possibly can. The trunk of the tree is left unfilled (there's no brown paint), but Corinne used other colors for tree ornaments. She holds one paintbrush in each foot, one for red and one for blue. Then she uses white paint to add garlands, as well as a star at the top of the tree. She also adds a few real stars around the tree, suggesting that it's outdoors. She finishes by signing her masterpiece, but has to drop one “n” in her name because she started too close to the edge and runs out of space. The final result looks like something a 5 year old might produce, which isn't bad at all for someone who's never used her feet to paint before.
