Elegant

Hey, I'll try that. Living with a delusion that every tracksuit-wearing, beatin'-the-hell-outta-everything youngster ahead is a fellow punk/ goth .

I also hate summer because I'd boil in my leathers [and other black garments]... and I want to keep them on and on, and this damn sun shines and heats everything up. So I sometimes have to abandon aesthetics in the name of comfort. That's why I prefer temperatures below 23 deg. Celsius and overcast/ cloudy weather. Eternal darkness shall prevail!

That's a GREAT article that can push the men's fashion emancipation forward- a lot! And the outfit is in my style, really...

who should also wear heels!

By the way, here's what I found:

I'm sure you'll like them a lot!

I'm all for many kinks and fetishes UNLESS the activities involved are harmful to someone or non-consensual [e.g. rape, sexual harassment, paedophilia, zoophilia, necrophilia or stealing objects to gain pleasure]. I'd also be very cautious concerning sexual activities that are a potential health threat, like sex with a possibly STD-infected person without proper safety measures, more extreme and risky BDSM activities or coprophilia.

Elegant Wow! I like it.

A little bit too much leather for my taste, but still nicely coordinated.

Thanks. My love for leather started as a fetish, but after buying some garments and going out, it became everyday fashion and lifestyle choice. I wear at least leather pants on daily basis, provided it isn't too hot. Right now I rarely street-heel in public, but I think it's gonna change in the fall.

a big step for mankind

Some of my pics [winter mode ]:

BTW, I wish I had a red lipstick for the "red shirt" session, and a black or red one for the earlier "black shirt" session. Some nice nail polish [rsp. dark red and black] would also be a nice addition for the "ungloved" pics. If I had a corset, I'd definitely wear one.

Oh, and I guess that dyeing my hair black or very dark red would help a lot .

"That's a really nice pair of loafers"

Are you referring to the shoes, or us guys wearing boots at work? Or both?

The shoes. No puns etc. intended.

Quite a few folks mistook these for boots today at work.

That's a really nice pair of loafers, I like the look.

Personally, I'd stay away from simmilar body modifications and stick with gel cushions instead. I know this pain very much [and it's really a pain in the ass even though it's in ball of the feet ], but I wouldn't go for injecting silicone etc. unles the risk is very low.

thanx 4 all yr kind remarks!! I know i'm v lucky to have a soulmate so close, u wont believe how close we are, we say the same things at the same time ,we like exactly the same food, even stupid things, viz today i said i hate cauliflower except as cauliflower cheese. Soulmate said she is exactly the same. Now i know it seems a daft likeness but it happens all the time. Soulmate gets fashion mags and looks first, then i look and turn the page corners over where there's things i like 4 her or me and we always choose exactly the same stuff! Its amazin! When we're gonna go out for a meal etc we decide who's gonna wear what (colours, smart/ scruffy / accessories). We can read each others minds like a book and even if we have a disagreement we know who's givin in by sayin 2 particular v rude words and we collapse in laughter = game over. We both have had shit lives before and cant believe our luck ( i could say a lot more but wont!)

Seems like a match made in heaven. I'm glad you found a perfect S/O!

They look more like little chairs than shoes. Pretty avant-garde.

Well, in Poland there's some annual income threshold, and if you earn less than it, you can claim a tax return.

I love the style really much.

I tried to but didn't catch the bug. But I loved Half-Life and many mods made for it really much! I still had no contact with HL2, but I'm sure I'll play it someday. Now I'm playing C&C Red Alert 2 (the game is 7 to 8 years old, but it's still as addictive as hell- like many games from late 90's/ early 2000's, e.g. Fallout 1 & 2, HL...)

These shoes are very nice and definitely not girly. I love the look!

Nice oxfords, I'd like a pair... Of course I'd HAVE to practice walking in shoes that have 5" heels... right now I'm far from that.

Try International Male, they might have something interesting on stock. www.internationalmale.com

I'd definitely like to see some pics of better quality.

Nice boots, they suit you well!

Digital cameras are great, you will probably find that you take a whole lot of pictures with yours. Per shot, it's a lot less expensive than film photography.

Right... I had two analog cameras and I know that they can be a bit pesky: the developping process takes some time, the film is quite expensive and you can't see the pics you took before they're developped. Oh, and the film can contain up to 36 photos and you should replace it in a dark place, too... And now that I've got a digital camera, all I have to worry about is recharging my accus before the power runs out .

kneehighs- thanks for your compliment, I hope I'll turn up at the heelmeet someday too. I just have to find some time to spare, and cash for a plane ticket.
