The gals of Fox 31 encourage creepy fetish site

If you follow various local news personalities on social networks you might have picked up on a strange phenomenon  … the gals at Fox 31 Denver (KDVR) seem to encourage the creepy fetish site “Booted Blog” (@bootedblog).

Booted Blog  claims to be: “NORTH AMERICA’S NUMBER ONE RESOURCE FOR COVERAGE OF LOCAL TELEVISION STATIONS’ FASHIONABLE FEMALE ANCHORS, REPORTERS AND SHOW HOSTS AND THE BOOTS THAT THEY WEAR. IT’S ALL ABOUT SHOWCASING THEIR STYLE!!” and its Mission Statement is: “It’s All About RESPECTFULLY Putting The Spotlight On Female Television Personalities Who Love Their Classy Boots. From A Fashion Viewpoint, We Work To Bring Their Talents And Styles To A NATIONAL And WORLD WIDE Audience. They ROCK IT, We TALK IT.”

The site is squeaky clean; which if anything makes it even creepier.  We know a fetish site when we see one – and Booted Blog is definitely one. Yet Brooke Wagner, Shaul Turner, Jennifer Broome and other ladies of KDVR egg on the bloggers on Twitter, Tweeting at and reTweeting Booted Blog and generally celebrating being celebrated by the drooling creepers who keep the site up. It’s all about sexy news ladies wearing boots – reporters and studio hosts from all over the country all sporting knee-high footwear and that’s all it’s about.

The site is harmless I suppose but it still strikes me as weird that these gals don’t seem to be the least bit creeped out by the attention they get from it. It’s not hard to picture some 400 pound acne covered blogger holding up his laptop with one hand while enjoying pictures of Brooke Wagner in leather boots.
