Ann, this took me back to my early years @ NBC – there was a shoe shine guy, an elderly Italian gent named Sal, who went from office to office shining the wingtips & loafers of the executive suite.

He was also happy to shine the shoes of secretaries – including me.

Shoeshine stands are still being placed in new air terminals (like the spankin’ new one @ RIC, my home airport).

I’ve never experienced the gyno-moment you did, although I have never ascended the shoe-shine throne in anything but pants. A skirt or dress would be a little too Basic Instinct, n’est pas?

But this took me right back to those days long ago, as Sal-the-Shine-Man shined my shoes at my desk.

Now, go listen to Ry Cooder’s “Get Rhythm”…
