Moments to Sip!

 

 Hi, my name is Marie and welcome to Moments to Sip! Growing up in the "Windy Sippers" like I did (Chicago Il.) I have seen the first hand beauty of the spirit of the midwestern states. I think it is something everyone could benefit from, so I started Moments to Sip! It is a moment to say hi, and say thanks for stopping by! I started my first "moment" in Temu.com. With High Heels!

 The True Story: Werner Herzog Eats His Shoe!

The Bet! 

"If you ever finish this movie, I will eat my shoe."

The Promise!

True to his word, Herzog flew to California in April 1979 for the film’s premiere at the UC Theatre in Berkeley. He walked onstage wearing a pair of dark leather desert boots—the exact ones he had worn when making the bet.

The Culinary Process

Herzog didn't just chew on leather raw. He took one of the desert boots to a restaurant kitchen and spent five hours boiling it in a stock pot filled with garlic, duck fat, onions, and herbs to soften the leather.

In front of a live audience at the theater, Herzog carved up the boiled leather boot with a knife and fork, seasoned it with hot sauce, and ate several slices of the leather upper onstage.

The Legacy

Herzog used the moment not as a stunt, but to deliver a message about artistic determination: if you have a dream or make a commitment, you have to follow through—even if it means eating your own footwear. Both Herzog and Morris went on to become two of the most influential documentary filmmakers in modern history.

If you meant a real story—such as a true news story about a company or artist creating edible fashion—let me know!


The shoes are made of plastic molds. They come from Fujian, China. These are some more decorating ideas! You can really do what you want! The hard part is making the mold they come in. It is not really hard, but you have to be careful!!

Are there sewing people out there?



The Violent Beginnings

1830 — The Riot in Paris: French tailor Barthélemy Thimonnier patented a machine that used a hooked needle to make a chain stitch. He secured a government contract to produce army uniforms. Fearing his machine would destroy their livelihoods, a mob of angry hand-sewing tailors burned his factory down with him inside. He barely survived, and his machine was destroyed.

1834 — The Moral Dilemma: American inventor Walter Hunt built one of the first practical lockstitch machines. However, he refused to patent it because his daughter convinced him it would throw thousands of poor seamstresses out of work.

The Lockstitch Breakthrough

1846 — Elias Howe's Patent: American machinist Elias Howe independently invented a lockstitch machine using an eye-pointed needle and a shuttle carrying a second thread beneath the fabric. Howe’s machine could stitch faster than five human hand-sewers combined.

Howe failed to find investors in America, so he moved to England to sell his idea. Penniless, he returned home to find that during his absence, American manufacturers were openly copying his lockstitch patent.

When Howe returned from England, he discovered Singer's booming business and took him to court for patent infringement. Howe won the lawsuit in 1854, forcing Singer to pay back-royalties on every machine sold.
