Thank you, Pebbles. I most often wear something like this. It works for me, it works for my girlfriend. And I don't really care what everyone else thinks. 

I do get poked once a day or so by some stranger who expresses their admiration. In the beginning, it was flattering. But it is getting a bit disturbing, in the sense that if I'm doing something that people need to point out their admiration for that frequently, society isn't nearly as free as many of us would like to believe.

Well, you are right....Society would love to suppress anything that goes against "the norm", including guys in heels.  Society would also love us to cling to the usual stereotypes attached with guys wearing what society would describe as "feminine gear".  I'm sure constant attention can get annoying sometimes....Kind of like a celebrity trying to walk down main street on a Saturday afternoon....I believe that most guys have a secret desire to wear more 'feminine gear", but most don't have the guts to explore their desires.  The combination of feminine and masculine gear can be a very powerful look indeed, especially when a guy (like yourself) can pull it off successfully with enough confidence not to "care what everyone else thinks"!  I have made great strides in the past few years, with help and support of guys here.  I don't have the youthful figure to pull off much, but I feel comfortable now wearing stiletto boots with my levis publicly.  

I'm sure I would go out of my way to compliment you if I saw you out in public somewhere, although I do my best not to be rude or "creepy" about it...Am hoping you will put up with more compliments from guys and gals who appreciate the fact that men like yourself are helping to reshape the way society thinks, even if it is at a snail's pace.  You are fortunate to have a girl friend who appreciates your style, and is confident enough not to feel the her "femininity is threatened".   

Thanks for all you do buddy
