Yes, since I was 12.

Yuk.

I guess "round" is subjective.

The Guiness picture must be outdated although this pic is at least 5 years old. These are one meter high. With calf supports similar to stilt skates these would be quite walkable.

1930 model A Ford.

I like it. Kellye does too.

"I feel sorry for people who don't drink. When they wake up in the morning, that's as good as they're going to feel all day." Lyndon B. Johnson

A wife arrived home after a long shopping trip, and was horrified to find her husband in bed with a young, lovely thing. Just as she was about to storm out of the house, her husband stopped her with these words: "Before you leave, I want you to hear how this all came about. Driving home, I saw this young girl, looking poor and tired, I offered her a ride. She was hungry, so I brought her home and fed her some of the roast you had forgotten about in the refrigerator. Her shoes were worn out so I gave her a pair of your shoes you didn't wear because they were out of style. She was cold so I gave her that new birthday sweater you never wore even once because the color didn't suit you. Her slacks were worn out so I gave her a pair of yours that you don't fit into anymore. Then as she was about to leave the house, she paused and asked, 'Is there anything else that your wife doesn't use anymore?' "And so, here we are!"

Two guys were sitting in a bar having some after work martini's. After they have several, one guy starts sticking his tongue out and rubbing it with his finger. He says to the other guy, "have you ever noticed that after you have several martini's how your tongue burns"? The other guy reflects for awhile and then says "gee I never tried lighting it".

This list is from Australia but many of the terms are the same.

Plonk = cheap wine

Back in the "olden dayz" I rode Ducati desmo's of various sizes...Mostly dirt riding. I put a 250 barrel and desmo head on a 160 base...Result was a 250 that was 20 lb lighter than the stock 250 and had a whole bunch more top end. When I really wanted to win, I put the local champ on it. We really terrorized the local 1/4 mile flat track.

I wear them all the time.

Ha ha hee hee giggle chortle chuckle guffaw ROFLMAO.

Homer and Jethro's "High Heels" (late 50's)

All the shoes illustrated on this thread so far fall in the "ROUND toe" category as defined from the "olden dayz". The true baby doll toe is illustrated in Ionic's icon. A true classic baby doll mary jane. While round toes are a good compromise from pointy's, they definetly fall short in the comfort zone compared to true bd's. Be sure to check my ad in the "for sale" thread.

Isn't anyone interested in baby doll toes any more? I'm a 50's nostalgia nut. Bettie Page type shoes. Slightly chunky heel and 1/4 in. platform. VERY comfortable. I see a few pics on the net but very scarce.
