For all we know, that could very well be a picture of your wife?
I think that's Tech attempting a compliment:wave:
PS: Tech, is there any way you could edit those apostrophes out of the "leg's" in this thread title?

Welcome to our community.
For those not familiar with the Erasmus Programme it gives opportunities for students to study in other EU countries: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Erasmus_Programme
Although you are from Germany, which country have you chosen to study in as part of Erasmus?

.....especially the THREE models by Rick Owens there.....
Such as this:
Very nice to see the trend being set but the price is more than eye-watering (over £750) and the sizes only go up to 43. I can get prefectly decent "women's" ankle boots in that size from Next for less than a tenth of the price. We thought that the "Jonny" boot was expensive at over £300. Even expensive "designer" women's ankle boots don't seem to go much above £500.
-
Not sure what your boots are like but I've got a pair pretty similar to these.
http://www.next.co.uk/shopping/shoes/womensshoes/47/1 Worn under trousers they are barely going to be noticed by anyone.
Enjoy the rest of your day.

These are on their way and I should get them on Tuesday. Although I usually take size UK9 M&S stuff is reputed to be on the roomy side. Free delivery to my local M&S food store and free return if I don't like them.
According to the website, the last pair has gone. When I ordered it was showing 6 pairs available in UK8 and all other sizes out of stock.

I really ought to get a smartphone to replace my ancient Motorola K1. Everyone says they love their iphone but I'm not an Apple fanboy so I'm dithering. Definitely not windows, so I'm biased towards 'droid. I can predict Tech's answer - get an iphone - you'll love it.

We survived the blitz. We survived the IRA bombings. We survived the 3 day week (1973/4) We survived the winter of discontent (1978/9). We survived 7/7. We survived Maggie's poll tax riots. What we didn't so well with were the so-called town planners who did much more damage than Hitler's bombers ever managed.

I'm no linguist either but I strongly suspect that cheri and cherie imply a level of close friendship or even intimacy that would be totally inappropriate in a casual encounter. In english darling and my dear can be used casually without causing offence but they can also be used intimately or even ironically.
A difference between french and english culture can be seen in the relative formality of everyday shopping. This is for smaller shops, obviously not supermarkets. If you go into an english shop, an assistant might ask if they can help and the customer might well wish they hadn't been asked. If you go into a french shop you will be greeted with Bonjour Monsieur/Madame and it would be rude not to return the greeting.
As for seeing men in heels in public, outside of our merry band I've probably seen a handful over the last few years. That's excluding the commonplace "goth" platform boots seen routinely in Camden on the occasions I walk or drive through there.

ha ha, I've caught quite a lot of customers running dodgy installs, none of whom have any reasonable or logical explaination as to why they have no valid licence for their system, then they complain as to why its so expensive in the first place, like thats a good excuse... Damn theives...
They could always run Linux instead and not have to worry about either expense or malware. Mind you, if enough people started doing that the malware creators would find it a worthwhile target. Or get an Apple Mac. I'm not trying to start OS flame wars -all my PCs run Windows though I tried Ubuntu once for the hell of it. I was quite impressed that it installed and "just worked". Easier than a Windows instal on that occasion but there are so many flavours and so many potential problems with drivers that I'm not sure I want to go seriously down the Linux route.

My guess about anti-competition problems if Microsoft bundle MSE with Windows was correct.
http://www.guardian.co.uk/technology/blog/2009/jun/11/microsoft-morro-antivirus
Don't just take Tech's word about MSE:
http://www.pcadvisor.co.uk/news/index.cfm?newsid=3209444
About the only downside I can see is if you're not running a genuine licensed copy of Windows. In that case you're a naughty person and MSE might tell you so. That's according to the Wikipedia entry on MSE.
-
If Microsoft can do such a good job with MSE why the **** didn't they just build it into Windows in the first place. Or would that be construed as anti-competitive by Norton etc who have made a very nice living out of the failings of Windows. I'm using Avast Free but always open to something better. I'm told by some IT friends that the best "paid for" protection software is Eset NOD32. As for Norton, I really hate having to remove that from friends' PCs. It seems to hang around like a nasty smell. The best bit of advice that I can give is to ensure your backups are up to date. Then when the worst happens, and it can happen to the best of us, you don't lose your valuable data. I'm pretty anal about my own backups. I picked up an infection a few years ago and had to decide whether to clean or revert. Since I had a pre-infection disk image I reverted and then restored everything up to date from incremental backups. Even if I hadn't had a disk image I could have done a clean instal and restored all my data from backups.

Petrol lighter fluid is good for removing all sorts of sticky residues.

Looks like the heatshrink tubing mentioned in post #6.
Bewildering variety of types here at RS.
Also available in the UK at Farnell/CPC, Maplin, Rapid. might be available at DIY sheds.

When you go to Honour's Watford shop it's just an ordinary industrial unit from the outside. Inside, the shop seems quite small but it's backed up by their entire warehouse stock just behind. The staff were certainly helpful when I went there with my partner even though we didn't buy anything.

......but it's mostly useless since when you unzip the zipper, all the hooks come undone.....
Try squeezing up the hooks with pliers so the laces don't come out when you undo the zip. You might want to put a thin rod, such as a small screwdriver, in each hook where the lace should be and try to close the hook round that. Otherwise just squeeze each hook round the lace.

Welcome.
First and foremost, you're not alone, there's lots of us who've been in your sort of position and we're happy to help. Sexual orientation has nothing to do with wanting to wear HH. We're probably straight and gay in roughly the same proportion as the general population.
One way to start with HH is low and unisex in appearance. It helps if you're feet are no bigger than UK9/EU43 since mainstream women's shoes are readily available up to that size. For example I've got a pair of these ankle boots (alsa no longer available) which have a 2.75" heel and are very comfortable. http://www.amazon.co.uk/Hush-Puppies-Ladies-Ester-Boot/dp/B000TZMN88 I think the only comment you would get from your girlfriend is that you had a nice new pair of boots.
Since you're a new member you won't yet have full use of all HHP facilities. After 7 days and 5 posts (I think) you'll have access to search, photo posting etc. In the meantime have a browse around the threads. There are some guys who wear amazingly high heels virtually all the time, some who wear them purely in private and all shades in between.
One final thought, please remember we're primarily a fashion and fashion freedom forum. Yes of course many of us find HH sexy, both to look at and to wear but we don't discuss anything too intimate. It's just not that sort of forum.

I'll be there - in 4inch heels
Don't like to bring bad news but I think you've missed it.

....I noticed they are in the website "women's section" available up to size 43.
It is the first time I see very nice looking boots available up that size....!
Almost all styles from Next are available up to EU43. My (limited) experience suggests that the sizing is generous. I normally take UK9/EU43. I have a pair of EU43 ankle boots from Next and I need to use insoles. I tried on a pair of these in a store recently size EU42 and they seemed to be the right size. http://www.next.co.uk/shopping/women/shoesandboots/23/6?extra=sch&n=women&pid=725-845&returnurl=%2fshop%2fattdesignfeature-clog-gattgender-women-cat-boots-cat-wellies-0%3fx%3d1%26nxti%3d0%26nxtv%3d0%23725-845&bct=%26quot%3bShop%20By%20Product%26quot%3b%26nbsp%3b%26gt%3b%26nbsp%3bClog%26nbsp%3b%26gt%3b%26nbsp%3bWomen%26nbsp%3b%26gt%3b%26nbsp%3bBoots%26nbsp%3b%26gt%3b%26nbsp%3bWellies

Short length of chain. Under the arch, crossed over in front of the ankle and padlocked behind the ankle. Obviously this doesn't work with wedges. For shoes with a buckle you can sometime put a small padlock through the next hole in the strap.

....I can't remember ever seeing anyone in real life real time bicycling in high heels.....
In Amsterdam you'll see women routinely cycling in high heels.
Locally to me in north London there's one older woman who I've seen quite a few times cycling in platform boots with about 3" plats. She looked quite small and the effect was just plain odd looking.

A recent thread in the Girls' section mentioned one of many sites selling fake Louboutins. http://www.hhplace.org/girls/17949-next_purchase.html
I know we have debated the rights and wrongs of this elsewhere but at the very least, please be aware that these sites are selling fakes and use your own judgement.
Googling fake louboutin gives many hits, for example:

May not be available outside the UK.
Seems that flipflops and wellies are amongst the least safe footwear for driving.

AEE being what??
I didn't know either but as usual GIYF. Not sure if the mods would think it entirely appropriate for this forum.

I particularly like these: http://www.aldoshoes.com/uk/women/bo...84-zientara/97
How does Aldo sizing run? They say UK9 = EU42 but do they tend to run big or small?
I'm tempted by a pair of these. With free postage and free returns there's no risk. Not so much a question of being unwilling to try in store but the slim chance of finding them in size 9 at a store as well as ploughing through the snow and xmas shopping to got Brent Cross.
