  1. Yeah, your post was long, but wonderful to read. Congratulations! And since you live in the US, and she in Parma, you surely had a long way to get to her - but I think it was well worth it, and it looks like you have made a new friend. Have you mentioned hhplace to her? I think we'd gain several new users :smile:.

  2. Men are kept from posting in girls' forums just because we've got a very little number of women, and in order to prevent losing them, admins / moderators decided to keep their board strictly female. DON'T look at it in a "lack of equal rights" way. If more women come, and the numbers of male and female members become simmilar / equal- the restriction will prove useless and probably be lifted. [EDIT] I see that JMC stated it...

  3. I've been wearing a handbag everyday for 1.5 years and for me it's not a big deal at all [well, right now I cycle a lot, so I swapped a bag for a satchel]. I've got three bags in various sizes and which one I don depends on what I need to carry: the biggest one is for notebooks when I go to classes, the medium one is for shopping [it's not too bulky, but big enough to keep my shopping bags there] and the smallest [and most "feminine"] one is for parties, concerts etc. As for "equipment": I always take my wallet, keys, mobile phone, hairbrush, some pens, a novel I'm reading at a time, tissues and a mirror. Sometimes I take my cosmetics too, but, unfortunately, the smallest bag is just too small for them...

  4. I don't have any - there are lots of more important things to spend money on. Yet, I like piercings / tattoos on others [it's a little fetish of mine :)] and eventually I'll have some of them. As for a tattoo, I'd go for something technical / industrial, or a band logo [Einsturzende Neubauten, perhaps].

  5. At Castle Party [a Polish gothic festival], I wore my corset a whole day and felt no hunger, so, in the evening, I drunk ca. 0,4 litre of wine [2 bottles for 3 people] with an empty stomach. I don't have to say that some praying to Poseidon :thumbsup: and a huge hangover followed... I wore my oxfords, and even without heels I couldn't walk to my tent myself - I had to be brought back by girls I drank with. Anyway, we've had a good laugh afterwards :smile:.

  6. I don't believe in an afterlife; when we die, we'll either rot and the worms will eat us, or we'll turn into ashes. The only thing that makes any difference for someone who dies is when they perish, what they have / haven't done in the earthly life and how much pain they have to feel before passing away. For the alive [especially family / relatives], the whole thing is more complicated: they have to deal with the formalities etc., but the worst thing is the mere fact that someone who was close to them will be no more.

  7. I don't watch, and I don't think I would even if I were interested in sports. First of all, the slavery and human right issues in China repulse me. Second, it seems that people are bombarded with news, relations etc. from the olympics - turn on any mainstream television or radio, and you'll quickly discover that you can't avoid the topic if you're not interested.

  8. Yeah, I've done it on my two pairs...

    Both of them had their heels fastened with a screw, several nails and glue, so they needed some work to take the old heels off. You have to remove the rear part of the insert to reach the screw / nails. Take the heel apart, that's somewhat tricky but you'll eventually do it. Afterwards, take the shoe without a heel and go to a shop with supplies for cobblers and choose the heels of right style and size. You have to match them carefully so that they'll have proper height and width for the shoe sole's shape. Old heels may come in handy for comparison. You also have to buy some glue, two screws and D-shaped metal pieces with a hole in the center [i don't know a "specialist" term for these]. If the old screw was thin, drill a bigger hole. Put the shoe and heel together, adjust them carefully and screw the heel on. If everything is OK [the heel isn't askew], loosen the screw and glue the parts together, then tighten the screw and glue the insert on.

    BUT - I don't think it'll work with your boots. First, heels of such height are impossible [or VERY hard] to get. Second, the sole may be of one-piece kind, but I don't know if so.
