Nice Heels Sir

She just wasn't my type. Too tall! As for undergarments.... I don't even like to think about it!

I suddenly got this vision of sneakers chasing hiking boots...

I don't wear sneakers as they are very bad for the feet. Make your feet sweat apparently. Also, I don't sneak! LOL. But those cowboy (girl) boots - they sound very interesting.

I love a woman in uniform Gabs. You've made me come over all unnecessary just thing about it! LOL. XXXX

A very tall woman that I know, she's over 6', tells me that finding taller men to date is extremely hard so she has to settle for shorter men.

oh, I understand that - but still that would've been a GREAT pix!!!

Now that would have been an interesting photo. We don't usually photograph the visitors so I'm not sure what excuse I could have had - other than s/he was very tall!

She wasn't terribly attractive, although was extremely slim. But an effort had been made and s/he certainly gets points for that. But those heels bother me. LOL.

Down boy! Down!

Is that a request or a command....

2" sound tall enough to me. Unless you have a leather catsuit and a whip in your hand!

That is true as long as they are happy and their family accepts them.... why not?

The shoes were black patent and I didn't think that they complimented the look at all. But then I'm no expert! But I know what I like to see. So long as s/he is happy then I suppose that's all that matters.

I remember Heidelburg well. Not high heel streets if I recall correctly. Here's a momento from circa 1981.

The sun shines on the rightsch(l)oss! The night before they'd had a sol et lumiere. Sehr schon. I expect that my computer has all the proper accents, umlaut etc but I can't be bothered to find them.

Doesn't look much different from 1979. Hm, except how'd you get a sunny picture? It's always cloudy there!

I see women teetering on them and think "she's going to go". Somehow they remain upright. But this really was a wonder. So high - impossibly high heels. He didn't move fast I can tell you that! But I admire his bravery in coming out dressed like that.

A close thing by the sound of it. She was very lucky.

On our 16th street mall here in downtown denver, co. we have a free shuddle. One day while i was downtown with my then young grandson we was about to cross the street. We were standing waiting for the shuddle to pass so we could cross. This young lady in very high hells came running so fast not knowing the shuddle was coming. She stood there in what seemed like slow motion and a long time teddering on her tipy toes to stop in time . The shuddle nearly hit her.. It missed by inches. Im amazed as well as thankful that she wasnt hit in front of my grandson. How she managed to stop with thoses heels i do not know. I think it would have been hard enoyugh in flats. Or even running that fast with heels.

Perhaps it was the same (wo)man! Hot pants!! You know how to drive a boy mad with desire.

Don't be so modest! I bet that you still do.

Ahhh... that was then ((nostalgic sigh))

I guess that girls have to learn how to walk in them too at some point. I'm trying to imagine a sports team in high heels rather than sneakers (or trainers as we call them).

We start practicing wearing heels shortly after we learn to walk, lol. Playing dress up in mother's heels is big fun for girls.

I agree. S/he looked quite uncomfortable tripping around in them. Can't have done her feet any good either.

I think that's sound advice. I see many women "stomping" along in their heels. When men join in it looks decidedly "different. My daughter was one of the stewards for a recent sponsored walk for men. They had to walk a mile in heels to raise awareness about domestic violence and rape. She said that it was a very funny sight to see all the men teetering along.

That sounds like a great idea. It gives new meaning to "walking in someone else's shoes."

Cushioned soles. Now that's the thing to have LoLo. I can imagine that high heels do hurt after a while. I guess that you have to suffer for your vanity!

I know what I like to see. But that's personal taste and not necessarily good fashion sense. For example, I dislike jeans intensely as anything other than casual wear. But these days people say that they have "Dress" jeans! But there's an awful lot of folk who wear them Are they all wrong?

Very true about the heels - especially for men! As for ballerina pumps - now that would be an interesting sight!

I am sure that walking in heels takes time to get used to. You could certainly do yourself an injury on the ones that the person in the discussion was wearing!

Good thinking. Thank you.

I guess that 60 is an interesting age to start wearing them and if you're not used to it at all then it must be quite risky indeed.
