Elegant

It's OK that the idea of male unbifurcated garments in Western culture is getting more and more popular. The designs weren't bad, but weren't exceptional too, and I didn't like very long slits in several skirts because they may let the underwear show. BTW, some models look really handsome .

I wore my heels for a first time on New Year's Eve 2006/07, and I remember that a heel came off a boot when I stomped on a balloon to pierce it for fun . My feet were killing me because I had no gel cushions. Good that I carried my heels in a bag and changed at the venue, instead of wearing them all the time.

Today I had balls to wear my heels out loud and proud, and went to several shops I had problem visiting because of shyness: a leatherwear shop, a sex shop and a cobbler. Some positive reactions and no negative ones - I was so confident that I looked straight into chavs' eyes and they didn't react at all. Hah! Only one youngster laughed at me, but stopped immediately when I threw him a glance. I went to a thrift store and bought myself a pair of 4.5" blade heel square toe leather ankle boots for a ridiculous 1PLN [ca $0.3]. Whoa, these boots are surely killers... They are very snug, but comfortable. BTW, I'll boast about my purchases for a while and say that I bought a tailcoat and a vest yesterday. I've always wanted to have one!

The pants go very well with your boots, but in my opinion they could be tigher in thigh area and wider at the bottom.

Hogtie, Denmark:

BTW. This thread IMO belongs in fetish section...

Today, I went for neutral / show-off with my 3" Edwardian-like knee high boots. I wore them fully exposed over my leather pants, with an over-the-knee shearling coat and a "women's" hat with a bow. Many compliments followed, some usual giggles from local chavs too. I don't care a bit about the latter. BTW. I've bought myself a tailcoat in a thrift store. It's wonderful!

For me, too.

Very humorous and poetic

I wear my black leather underbust corset, as well as heels, to gothic concerts / parties - with great results.

Exactly. Face [excl. eyebrows], armpits and intimate areas are the only places I shave instead of epilating.

The guy looks good in heels, way to go! What irritated me was the laugh track and "Pretty Woman" melody in context. I hate it when movie makers blatantly tell watchers what their reaction is supposed to be like. Anyway, some people's facial expressions made me laugh out loud!

There's no male / female classification of shoe sizes in EU, but there are still discrepancies: some "42's" are made for 26cm foot length, others can fit 28.5cm. Heck, I've got a pair of boots sized 41 and they fit me like a glove. I didn't have to take them to a cobbler at all!

Body hair...

Good: Bought myself a pair of 3" knee high boots, a leather corset, some cosmetics. Got way better at applying make-up. Went to a big dark independent culture festival, and some smaller gothic rock concerts / parties. Made some steps towards becoming a feminist activist rather than just a theorist. Bad: Didn't wear my heels too often; limited myself only to parties...

SEVERE COLD WAVE TO HIT EUROPE

"The Orphanage" is one of the films that scared me most. I strongly recommend it unless you have weak nerves.

There's nothing unusual about this style in Poland. It's mainstream and it often makes me sick, but that's not always te case: I sometimes am stunned by a woman who stands out.

If Apocalyptica is goth, then I'm Elvis Presley and everyone can see it.

I'm not into zebra ballets at all, but as a keen leather wearer, I love your pants.

I'd most likely wear the first pair from your latter post. Thank Goth [sic!] I'm not into violence, because if I were wearing these buckled platforms, I wouldn't be able to raise my foot and kick any bandit's ass .

I don't have any red shoes, but if I had, I'd wear them with my black leather suit, a red shirt & tie, and [sometimes] red gloves. I'd aso use a red nail polish, eyeshadow, lipstick and lip gloss, and black eyeliner & mascara. I'm a sucker for androgyny and gothic fashion, you know that .

As for MAC, one girl at a gothic party told me that she uses their lipsticks and they don't come off. Before I buy myself one, I'll ask: is that true?

I always open doors [unless I'm too weak to do it myself, and other guy must do it] - and that has nothing to do with my feminist outlook.

Unless there is a strong historical proof that can objectively confirm what Bible says, it's your belief [and not only your, but other people's as well].

Well, it's okay - but I still prefer Laibach, Depeche Mode or Front242.
