That?s a new one on me Bert! I'm white and have never owned any black underwear. Khaki is the only other color underwear I've ever had -- and it was issued when I was in the military. As far as black shoes go, I think it might have something to do with the tanning process and probably with making boots waterproof -- such as rubbing animal fat into the leather to keep moisture out.

Whew! I've read and re-read Janise's post and still can't figure it out. I associate "racist" with race - the color of a person?s skin or disrespect because of ethnic background. I can't imagine, regardless of how I look at it, associating a man wearing high heels as being "racist." What has that got to do with it? As for "what happened to you", I think you're connecting the dots out of sequence. The cause and effect really don't have anything to do with a man wearing high heels. The cause of that man mistreating you is far more complicated and goes much, much deeper, in my opinion, than your simplistic explanation. The fact that "unpleasent" things occurred to you or in your presence is unfortunate. However, to blame the entire episode on a "man wearing high heels" is really a stretch. I would think that if this incident has traumatized you to the degree it seems to have, I think you should seek professional help as quickly as possible.

Renee: About BZ Heels. BZ shows up in Jenny's chat room occasionally. And, he used to post quite regularly on Jenny's fourm. Haven't seen him lately, though. I know Debbie was trying to track him down to get steel tips for some of her shoes. I asked him to email her the next time I chatted with him. Not sure if they ever got together. Might ask her if she has his email address. Also, might email Phil (Pheels) or Jenny to see if they can't find his email address for you.

if I happen to seem him again, I'll ask him to post a comment here and you can get in touch with him, then.

P.S.: After I posted this message I did a quick search for BZ Heels using Copernic. I found the following:

?You may contact BZ Heels by clicking here to discuss adding his custom steel tips to new Classic Pumps or upgrading shoes you already own! "

his email address, according to the website is: bzenter@earthlink.net < bzenter@earthlink.net>

BZ's website URL is: http://www.classicpumps.com/bzheels2.htm

That's all I know about this subject!

That's not cheating. Besides, who cares. They're girls shoes, aren't they? That's the way it all begins. From Ann Taylor penny loafers with 2" heels on to Ankle Boots with 4½" blade heels. It is, as Jeff says, "one step at a time"

Perhaps Laurie is looking for a word to express the "unconventional" formulation of the subject of this forum?

Heike wears heels that are at least 7" high. However, she's bow-legged and really doesn't walk very gracefully. But, still worth the time to view.

Thanks, Phil! We really appreciate your effort. If we can help offset the expense, please let us know where to send the contributions.

Oh my gosh! Where's Phil when we need him ?

Jenny handled the issue like this (Which covers everything posted between the "four corners): "This site is Copyright Jennifer Thomson Web Enterprises MCMXCVIII as in international copyright law.

Thanks PJ. Highlighting and transferring the URL worked. Great looking heels. I like the first pair. They look just like a pair I saw while browsing La Piazza's website.

Thanks PJ. Nothing on, around or under the two sentenances you mentioned. Apparently the pictures didn't make it to the posting on my computer. No biggie. Just wondered what the shoes looked like.

JeffB wrote: "The bottom line, he still respects me for who I am, and that's a good thing. He may still think it's unusual to see a man in high heels, but at least he understands why I wear them." The usual definition of "respect" is: "to show deferential regard for; esteem." Another definition is: "to avoid violation of or interference with." Not being personally aware of the type of relationship that Jeff has with this co-worker, it's difficult to tell which definition applies. In either instance it's a good thing. However, I would lean toward believing that the co-worker would chose not to make a "big deal" out of it since Jeff has been wearing heels around them for so long. As to understanding why Jeff wears heels, he might well understand. However, he might just accept Jeff's explanation and let it rest without completely understanding. At least the conversation has opened up the subject for discussion and further contemplation. We all admire Jeff because he has the courage to sail uncharted waters and for his willingness to endure the perhaps less than flattering image that some of the people might hold of him, as a result of his "non-conformance with generally accepted social customs."

This post is a mistake

Thanks for the instructions, PJ. I really appreciate your time and effort. However, I don't see a square with a red X in it anywhere on, around or inside the posting. There's nothing like that appearing anywhere. I've dragged my curser over every sq mm of the frame without finding anything.

"They" probably didn't know she was going to play in high heels.

Good for you!

Bet Renee's talking about BZHeels

HuH!

Rest East, Tom. It works from this side of the Atlantic.

All I can say is the lyrics are absolute bollox in content and composition. I hope the tune was better

Ah, I didn?t realize you were a music critic, too! But, hey, this was supposed to be all in fun. However, like Americans with British humor, sometimes some of our more literate English contemporaries just don?t understand. I thought it was a fun parody. (how did you manage to get the words without listening to it ?)

While listening to Garrison Keillor's "A Prairie Home Companion" radio show this morning, I heard a song that I thought LaurieHeels would appreciate. It's Pat Donohue singing the "Sushi Song." [ http://phc.mpr.org/performances/20000513/ra_files/000513_sushi_3_28.ram ] Listen closely to the words, Laurie. I got a big kick out of them. (I hope you have "RadioOne Player")

If you are interested, the entire radio show can be heard on the following link http://phc.mpr.org/performances/20000513/index.shtml

:rofl:

[it is al piercing trough the scrotum.

Yuk! The only purpose I can see for a piercing there is to prevent a person from using it for it's intended purpose. Talk about methods of birth control. Besides, didn't it hurt?

Perhaps we should bring our anoraks and the latest copy of Locoshed so we can recognise each other, or maybe the boots will be enough!

I assume "Locoshed" is a newspaper or magazine. But, what's an "anorak"?

Sorry that you are having problems accessing the chat, Maryann . We really would like to chat with you and all of the other readers of this forum. However, there are only three ways I know of to get to Spinchat. One way is to use the link from another website like Jenny's High Heel website. Another is by using the URL http://www.spinchat.com/index and the third is through using a client chat server such as Pluto. If anyone else knows of other ways to access Spinchat, , please let us know.
