Sorry, I brought up the sock-boots. I never saw them before. I think they are something my wife would like, so I might surprise her with a pair for Valentine's Day. i respect everyone's opinion of them and I am in no way trying to be argumentative. I just could see where she would like them. But I won't bring them up ever again on here!! 🙂

It is kind of sad how often that happens to innovators of society: they have a wild idea that is outside the mainstream and act on it, and then... it fizzles and dies. Typically right before it is picked up again and goes big by some entity that really had no early stakes in the game. A great example is the McDonald brothers who made meals fast, but it was Kroc who bought them out and took their idea internationally with the McDonald's we know today. I do too, and almost always do when I write on here. If I am home and lounging, I typically have my "soft pants" on, or leggings on, as in they are not jeans like when I work, or work in jeans around the house. In the winter, I am in leggings 100% of the time, as they are under my jeans for warmth, or I am in the house lounging.

Bikinis and weight do not correspond so well because women do not wear bikinis just because of what they reveal. Being guys, most of us have never tried to take off a wet, single piece bathing suit while in a rush to go to the bathroom, but watching any lady over 50, or with some weight issues try it, and it will quickly be ascertained why the bikini is so common to see. But drunk people, young children and leggings: those are the three things that always tell the truth! PS: I think my mom made me wear short-shorts during a summer in the late 70's-early 80's when she decided my sister and I should do track. Don't ask me about the year she decided my sister and I should do gymnastics. I am still traumatized by that.

I like them, and I can see the potential in them, I am just not sure this particular piece (or pieces) I care for. I think it is the tarnished color of them. Being jewelry, I would prefer to see more polished silver or gleaming gold. What exactly is represented? I am not sure: the creativity of people in the world amazes me so it will be interesting to see where jewelry designers take this. But it is nice to see a differing form of jewelry emerging.

They are called ear clips because they clip on the ear around it folds. Like @Shyheels, they don't do much for me. But I can see potential with respect to hearing aids.

Are you sure those were not elephant seals?

Nothing against it. But not my cup of tea either.

I'll raise my hand on that one. I was too young to do it back then. But I'm making up for lost time now. You think people are too fat in general for that to come back? I challenge you to go to any popular beach in the summer, and check out some of the women that wear bikinis. If we are fat, then they must be morbidly obese. Anything seems possible these days.

He is a cool guy indeed, I even visited with him once in Ohio, had a great time!

He seemed like quite a nice guy. We corresponded a bit, but a long time ago now

He retired several years ago, and sold his business. The new owner seems to have let it die a slow death. Steve's wife passed away a couple of years ago as well...

They don’t do much for me, I have to say

Another totally random comment, but what do you guys, and our one gal, think about these earrings/earclips? I don't know what to properly call them. Worn in real life by one of my female friends. My personal opinion is still not completely settled.

Steve Madden actually surprises you sometimes. As it is stupidly cold here for the next few days, I will not be submitting any photographs, but I've actually purchased some new Steve Madden shoes recently. While those particular boots are not really my cup of tea, I do like the look of a close fitting knee boot. Believe it or don't.

Definitely guilty as charged. I was on the high school tennis team in the 1980s, and we all wore shorts of that length. Not to put too fine a point on it, but I think we are all too fat in general for that style to ever come back. So I guess it's me and you and Cali. And maybe a few others.

Yes, I remember him. It’s been a long time since I heard from him

Some still do!

If you remember one of our members Steve, from Ohio sold men's panty hose as a business. I have several pairs of his panty hose. I really like them very much with the built in fly. I don't know whatever happened to him as I have not heard from him in over a year. Happy Heeling, bluejay

Just got my newest Steve Madden knee boots. It's a perfect calf size for my legs.I'll put a link in for those boots Can't copy the link. Steve Madden "Twain" in grey suede color Happy Heeling, bluejay

Yes, we did. Not a fashion I look back on with any longing.

Fashions definitely come and go. Some stick, and some don't. And everything seems to come back at some point. What's old is new again, is what they usually say. I forgot that in the 70's men wore short shorts. When is that coming back?

Always loved go go boots, and remember being mesmorized by them as a kid. Would really love a good quality pair today for sure.

I have the same issue, but have never actually measured my calves, too embarrassing I guess...

An instant swipe left.

I know what you mean. Sock boots never appealed to me in the least
