I'm planning to go to a cinema to watch two horrors, and have an after-party in a les club. For that special night, I'll be wearing a white shirt with a stand-up collar, a white tie, leather pants & long blazer and perhaps a vest. Of course I'll paint my nails black, use some eyeliner, mascara and red lipstick.

Ohh, the painful memories... Not because of heels, but because of cutting too much skin around the nails.

To be honest, I don't think your slim shoes go very well with the loose outfit and your silhouette. I would say the same if you were slim and wore bulky shoes with a well-fitted outfit. It's all about proportions between all parts of your look. Chunky heels with round or square toes would be better, but again: that's just my opinion.

I nearly killed myself right before a meeting. The floor was dry, but still slippery- and my foot skidded. Hey, the only person who laughed was me .

Well, I wonder what would happen if she wore patent leather ballet HEELS...

Probably the rudest treatment that I received was at a gay bar...but that's another story for another time.

That's quite interesting. A lesbian club [well, theoretically- gay males, bi or straight people have fun there too] was a place where I really felt at home and received some compliments from girls on my heels and nails [which I painted black].

Dr. Shoe!

I'm no longer turned on- I was before all my street-heeling experiences. I guess that my heels lost their fetish appeal [well, most of it]- it's the same as with leather clothing.

Perhaps we could use the "say thanks" button. This has one disadvantage, though: one could vote for a user, but not his specific pics, if they're attached to the same post. So, a "one image per post" rule plus "say thanks" button would work, IMO.

Neither do I. I also wouldn't like too many buckles, gems and other "bling bling".

At my age things take a little more time.

Step 1: become member of this board.

Step 2: slowly come out of the closet.

Step 3: etc.

Very pointy stillettos? Sure! Cone-shaped heels and platforms are great too. Gothic fashion is all about creativity, so you can do virtually anything to make a satisfying outfit. Oh, and if you're going to "join" the subculture, remember: aesthetics are only one of its aspects, so you should get to know the music, literature etc.

I'd really like a pair!

I'm EU43 and it's quite difficult to get nice shoes/ boots for me [of course I don't even mention these ugly, flat "men's" shoes!]. Small-footedness would definitely be a gift for me, but I guess I'm fine with my size. And BTW, if you still need low-heeled "masculine" oxfords, you can find them in female section as well.

useless shit!

Right now, I opt for a more masculine look, but after moving out, I'll be regularly seen in an androgynous, gender-bending mode. That includes long leather skirts, stilletto oxfords, dyeing my hair black or dark red, and- of course- corsets. Some jewellery or piercings, too. I won't go for full CD/ TV, either. I have to learn how to do make-up, especially for Castle Party or other Gothic events.

Plus, they are thinner in width than the usual men's style as well (which you can probably discern from the above pic).

Right! I still don't know why "male" footwear is so bulky- either horribly elongated, or much too wide. I loathe that!

Hey, those who complimented you probably didn't even know that your footwear was targetted at women! Are the shoes totally flat, or do they have 1 or 2 inches?

PS. The story in question alleges that Hitler was a shape shifting alien who had been kept alive since the second world war by cryogenics and he had emplanted genes in the young population to obey him when he was unfrozen. It's pretty far fetched stuff
