Strap-o-Sass

There’s something about nerdy girls that always kinda did it for me. It’s the “naughty librarian” fantasy – you know, the one where the shy, reserved girl lets down her hair and turns out to have a hot bod hidden beneath her frumpy clothes, and secretly knew how to get down “at band camp.” Hehe.

So I was walking around when I spied two young ladies, one of whom was nothing to look at, but the other – wow. Total nerdy girl on top, with no makeup and a cute smile. Not quite the naughty librarian, but she was all of the Korean student in cute and casual mode, despite the fact that this involves heels with that high-cut pair of shorts. I actually spied them walking in the opposite direction from me, across the intersection from me. I wasn’t ready with the equipment, anyway, and by the time I had thought about it, they had disappeared. Much to my surprise, I picked them up on radar again, walking not too fair ahead of me in the same direction. They took a detour into a small bakery, so I got up the courage to make up an excuse to go in there with them. I pulled off several shots with them choosing bread, and her flexing those leg muscles about as she chattered with her friend over which pieces to buy. On thing I like about Nerdy Girl is her strong and defined ankles, which pinch into a nice taper in the back.

She also does what I call the Korean girl “strap-o-sass” walk, which involves equal parts being too bothered to actually properly put on the strap at the back of your heel, not wanting the irritation it provides, being able to slip off the shoes and wiggle your feet at any opportunity, as well as to walk with the somewhat rude, somewhat sassy “slap-slap” of mules that aren’t supposed to me mules against the soles of the feet.

You see the strap-o-sass a lot in younger girls and the lower class. It’s considered a bit rude and you’d never go visit someone important with the “slap-slap” of the strap-o-sass while popping gum, which often go together. But I must admit that, done right, the strap-o-sass can be kinda hot.

Going along with her strap-o-sass is the kind of over-feminine strut that you get with women who really like to wear high heels. It’s hard to explain, but it’s kind of a step, sway, let-the-weight-settle, repeat cycle done at a slower gait; it also involves stepping down deliberately heel-first, like one is supposed to do when walking in high heels. It’s not the cutesy gait that goes along with stepping toe-first and walking pigeon-toed that a lot of Japanese women do, along with the high heel uninitiated.

Nerdy Girl was all of these, walking with her strap mashed down and swinging her legs all the way out while strutting confidently with her friend. I got the best shot of her as they walked out of the bakery, a lucky, lucky shot out of the several I fired off with my camera’s motor drive. In the shot that I love, it’s almost as if she stuck out her leg to let me have a good look at it. Lucky, lucky.

Her leg is a typical Korean one, having not seen much real exercise but being quite skinny. There’s a certain aesthetic to that kind of look, especially when there’s a nice arch and a clean, even presentation of toes across the front. Nerdy Girl has the kind of casual sexiness that I like as much as the girls who put all kinds of time and money into their feet and bare much more leg than should be legal outside of Vegas or something.

I must admit that Nerdy Girl’s toes are pretty attractive, ahem. I guess they can be thought of as the toes I would imagine the naughty librarian in my mind to have – clean and unadorned, but filling out a heel and an arch that could be quite sexy if she tried.

Grr. Nerdy Girl was a good find; what do you guys think? Naughty librarian? Too much?
