Why the fascination with celebrities?

[Bobo]

Well for me, it is the most frequently updated thread. Better to look at celebrity feet than no feet at all. I look at every post. Beautiful feet and Black Dude's feet are my real favourites!

Well everything has been pretty much said,

If we are going to put being into celebrities = living in a fantasy world than the same thing can be said for all of the porn and foot fetish website out there.

They are all selling you a certain fantasy, most of these models arent even into feet, they would eat a cucumber while being naked riding a pony if thats what brings the $$$ and pay their bills.

Being into celebrities doesnt make you a teenager with out much experience in life, a married man still watches porn, why would he still watch porno if he has someone to do the real stuff with? For fantasy of course.

It comes down like most pointed out to a "common" interest and knowledge about someone. Justin Bieber is very well known worldwide but Jimmy from around the block, beside you and 2 other people...no one cares about him. Not to say Jimmy doesnt have great feet, but a thread about Jimmy wont gather much attention Vs Will Smith being barefoot showing his sole.

And to be real, whether it be Zac Efron or Steven your neighbor, I doubt you will have any successful outcome if you approach one of them with

" Hey! Whats up? Could you take off your shoes? So I can see your feet, smell your socks and perhaps lick one of your toes? Thanks! "

Outside from an almost guaranty punch on the eye socket there is not much feet you will get from both of them. Celebrity or not.

Beside if celebrities didnt gather much attention there would not be celebrities cook book, celebrities diets plan, celebrities perfumes, celebrities clothing line, celebrities gossip blogs, youtube videos about celebrities make up or hair style, celebrities work out videos ....etc

It doesnt stop on the feet, we just so happen to LOVE feet in this part of the internet world ; )


***Side note

I dont see anything wrong if people post a series of pictures of a celebrity or captures from a video. Its all about the details someone could find interesting.Some might like captures #2 and others might think #66 was better. A slight detail change can make or break a picture for different foot lovers and the foot god knows we all have different specific things we like.
We should applaud our posters instead of complaining about what they post. If having a blurred or a one toe showing picture of a known celebrity is all we can get so far so be it, a lot of us are going to be interested about it. Maybe contributing to what the standard should be is what some of yall should start doing : )

I actually got to touch Joe McElderry's left foot when I met him once. I didn't ask him. He wasn't even barefoot. He was sockless and I couldn't resist, after a quick chat I just sort of squatted down and shoved my fingers in his shoe. It was like a YOLO moment. Creepy of me but he just ignored it and carried on talking to another fan anyway. Some other fans had a go at me after though, saying I'm lucky security didn't notice and I shouldn't be invading his privacy (even though there were already plenty of pictures of his feet anyway). Probably the only interaction I'd ever get with his feet, but I'd still love to see every picture of his feet that ever surfaces the internet, even if the'yre blurry, small, just a toe or in socks just because I'm so obsessed with him.

The "Different Celebs" thread on the Footbuddies Picture Post board, with its fifteen thousand posts and its million and a half views is by far the most popular topic of the thousands posted since these boards opened in 2006.

While I appreciate the enthusiasm and dedication of all the posters to this topic and to all those who have given their kudos to those efforts, I have to scratch my head and ask "why the bejeezus are so many of you in the membership so utterly consumed by it?"

Help me understand the logic, please.

Most of you are never going to meet any of these men. And if you happen to get lucky enough to meet one of them, you will almost certainly never see them barefoot. And if, by some mystical alignment of the stars and planets, you happen to see them barefoot, you will never, never, NEVER get to do anything about it.

It seems to me a clear-cut path to eternal blue-balls. You can only masturbate to ones and zeros so many times before your six-shooter no longer unloads from it.

Why do we not read more stories about the feet of the guy next door, or your college roommate, or your best bud, or even your local plumber? Are we that scared and inhibited that we have never dared to have a real experience and therefore resort to fantasy to get our jollies?

I look at these celebrities, who appear painfully alike and "meh" to me, and wonder what the fascination is. Please enlighten me, esteemed members.

And I would be able to meet the foot-models and non-celebrity people whose pictures are posted here, right? ;]

Beautiful feet are beautiful feet and I would be happy to see any pair of gorgeous male feet regardless of whom these belong to.

However, I feel that the odds of seeing feet are better when this involves celebrities for they are much more often and repeatedly photographed, followed and reported on. All their moves are tracked and snapped -- be it on vacation or whatnot. Then you even have the instagram requests for foot shots that many celebrities nicely respond to.

Look at the great It's Raining Feet, the magnificent site dedicated to male celebrity feet. I have been a member for years and so many of the celebrities whose foot shots have been posted there, I have never heard of. Talk of celebrities (actors, athletes, etc.) coming from every corner of the world -- South America where there are so many countries for example, then Asia, Europe, etc. Just look at the vast number of soccer teams and players and just from these, you already have a huge number of highly photographed men -- these are men I have never heard of yet I just love seeing their feet.

Then look at the actors who appear in soap operas -- I never watch soap operas but I do know that there are so many dazzling men appearing in them. So, for me, the celebrity factor does not really matter for I really do not know about them, much less watch them act. I just know that they are drop dead handsome and I would love to see their feet. And because they can be screen-capped and photographed very often, I have far better chances and odds of getting to see the feet.

As mentioned above, these celebrities are usually extremely good-looking and fit guys so this is a bonus when matched with a great pair of feet. Since these handsome men are often seen and talked about, one gets to really see how good-looking they are and there is the automatic desire to also see their feet. But there is also less possible frustation because there is a higher possibility that somewhere along the line -- a photo, a screen-cap, a YouTube video will eventually pop up to help make one's fantasy a reality!

Seth Meyers once told of an experience he had while walking the streets of NY in an tv interview where he said a stranger once asked him if could sniff his shoes and socks and that the stranger even offered to pay Seth to especially at least smell his shoes but Seth declined the offer.

Part of it is the thrill of the chase too, because we don't often see certain people's feet, it's a win when we do. Take Andrew Trischitta for example, I watched him on One Life To Live for years, desperate for a decent sole shot, only found it last week and they are stunning!
