The new Louis Vuitton tribute bag. It's SOLD OUT everywhere, and looks like pure garbage!!!

For a whopping $45,000.00 for it, what's one person's trash is another person's treasure. LITERALLY!!!!

It's not the most expensive purse ever sold, though. They had an auction once, for a Hermes purse, with diamonds on it, for $64,000.00

So ladies...and gents who carry a purse or collect purses, like i do...

Think of the time when you find a purse at wal-mart for $20.00. THEN think of someone who would buy a pile of pure garbage, like the LV tribute purse, and do a comparison. LOL

here's the photo of it. I knew you would be waiting with baited breath.

ok here's some pics of these beautiful white 9-west pumps, found in a desert lot near my house.

They're beautiful, in great shape, size 9, and fit like a glove! I am like walking on air with these babies on!

It's always worth picking up a reaosnable discarded pair even if they are not your size. You can sell them on or give them to someone on the board or at a heel meet.

Some people are embarrassed to aquire them by normal means and so might be glad of your find.

well I went and grabbed them. They are Nine West, size 9 pumps, from the 1980's. I can tell because they have the classic "9west" logo on the insole. They've been there for a week, so i say, why not?

I've got to clean them, and i'll have to take a pic of them to show on here.

I guess a homeless woman (or maybe a guy who is into heels like we on this website are) had just strewn their clothes all over a desert lot near my house. In the pile, are two noticibly white pumps. Not sure what the size is, but i am just curious. I was THINKING of picking one up and seeing what the size is, and if they are 8.5(US) or above, i'd just take them home. I am not sure of the condition of them, as i saw them kinda in the dark last night. Would anyone here do the same? The same goes for alley-hootin (a slang term here in the US that means, "garbage picker" or "dumpster diver".) If you saw a bunch of pumps, or even one pair, that looked somewhat in good condition, would you take them home? I not only have a thing for WEARING pumps, but i've always admired them enough to buy them in sizes that were TOO small for my feet. I've bought some size 5(US) before, because they looked so beautiful! So even though those white pumps in the desert lot that i talked about may be too small, i might still take them home, IF they are in good condition.

It is kinda nerve-racking when you're in the ladies' shoe aisle/department and people galore are walking by. You happen to pick up a shoe, and check it out, and they're looking at you like you're nuts. I did that friday, at a local thrift shop. They were $3.99, and a pointy-toe black pump with pink detailing. They also have a strap, like a Mary Jane, that goes over the foot. Pretty little shoes and i got them for a song. I've NEVER told any salesperson at any store that the pumps are for me. I've always told them, whenever they've asked, that it's for someone else. 99% of the time, they don't ask. As i mentioned on this site before in one of the forums, someone at a thrift store asked me, "What are you buying those pumps for? Are you re-selling them?" I just replied, "you might say that." And i left it at that. I must have bought 20 or 30 pair from that store, easy, so they probably believe it.

Does anyone know of any websites that may give a history lesson in high heels, from the first designs, to modern day pointy toe stilettos?

it's an acronym for "Flip Over, Read Directions", or "First On Race Days", or "For Off Road Driving", Or "Found On Road, Dead", or.....etc...

Great story but what is a ford?

I guess it is better than Chevrolet..

Cracked Heads, Every Valve Rotten, Oil Leaks Every Time

a woman wobbling while wearing heels is a turn-off. It's nice that she's going to such lengths to impress a guy, because she knows that heels are sexy, and provocative. Still, she needs to walk in them beautifully, with such skill that it turns a guy on. She needs to practice before going out in public with them on her feet. To me, a real sexy woman would be RUNNING in 6" pumps. LOL

i agree with your post! I guess i feel sexy and naughty. It's kinda taboo for a guy to wear what are for women. I am not a cross-dresser, or a TV, and never will be. Wearing women's clothes will never get me excited. Women's Shoes/boots, on the other hand, give me such a beautiful feeling. I buy a lot of shoes and boots from thrift stores, swap meets, garage sales, online auctions, etc. When i know that women have owned them, and i'm now owning them, walking around in them, gives me such a nice feeling. It's attractive because it's taboo. The women have no idea i am wearing the shoes they used to own. That's a great feeling. One more thing.. Maybe what i've heard before is true. Maybe the guys have a tiny bit of a feminine side, as women have a tiny bit of a masculine side. Maybe that's part of the reason why women's shoes are such a turn-on for us guys to wear.

a couple hours, max. I've worn some to bed for 7 hours, but i wasn't walking around in them, unless i was sleepwalking. I've never walked around in them in public. I am not that gutsy. LOL

I've been hearing about toe cleavage for a few years now. I never really paid attention to it before then. Do you prefer the toes being seen while wearing pumps, or not? I prefer the toes hidden, myself. I think the pump appears to be welded to the foot when there are no toes showing, which is a nice sight. I don't like toes seen, because to me, it just doesn't seem like the pump is on the foot. Something looks odd, IMHO. Lots of women are going through surgery these days, to shorten their toes, JUST so they can fit into a nice pair of Jimmy Choo's. I would rather get a shoe stretcher and see if i could stretch the pump a bit, just so it's a nice fit and not too cramped. (I know with certain shoes, you can't use a shoe stretcher, like on patent leather. It might ruin the shoe.) I've worn shoes that were TOO tight, where it was like pullilng teeth to get the shoes on my feet. After wearing the shoes in more and more by walking around in them, the pain gradually went away. Conversly, i've worn shoes that were a size too big, and of course the shoe didn't have the snug fit, where it wanted to slide off my feet at times. I just bought a pair of pumps last night from a local thrift store. Very nice Caressa black leather pumps, in great shape. They are a bit tight, but nothing walking around in them won't cure. So, is toe cleavage a good thing to anyone reading these forums? Let's see your opinions.

Yeah...I continunally chicken out when trying to buy shoes at a Macy's type place because of that very reason.

I personally am very at ease in going into women's shoe departments and stores. I used to be really apprehensive, thinking "what if someone i know sees me buying pumps?" Now i don't care. I had a great saleslady helping me out at Macy's the other night. Unfortunately, they didn't have the Jessica Simpson pumps i was looking for, but they had some beautiful Steve Madden Mary Jane style pumps that caught my eye. Black patent, with the typical Mary Jane strap over the foot, and the vamp was very rounded, like a Mary Jane shoe. Very sexy and beautiful, so that's on my list of shoes to get!

here's a pic, by the way..

It would be an INCREDIBLE job! Al Bundy was a buffoon, but think of all the beautiful women that he touched the feet of.. The beautiful pumps placed on their feet. The flirting! It would get quite arousing. Plus, think of all the pumps you were trying on in the back room. Seeing the latest styles coming in would be a plus, too. I'm sure that's why a lot of men run women's shoe stores and departments of Macy's, Dillards, etc..

Thousands of women in that auditorium. That means beautiful heels galore! What i would give to be an usher there!!!!! WOW!

I think it's harmless fun rummaging through a girl's closet, looking for heels to try on! It's not like he's going through her personal information, purse looking for money, or jewelry. It's just shoes/boots. It's no big deal, and like was said in this topic, creates such a high heart rate. It's exhillerating!

Like i said before, I'd love to be a telephone repairman, cable guy, butler, or even a person in charge of a lost-and-found at a hotel. I don't care, ANYWHERE where i have access to a woman's shoes/boots and purse. I would never take any money from her purse, or credit cards, or anything! I just have a purse fetish, a very big one.

You'd better not come to my house! AND don't even think of trying on Mrs. F's shoes if you don't mind. As he rushes back to the Guns thread! I'm going to keep a close eye on any repair men from now on.

Yeah, you better not let me in, even if i huff and puff and blow your house in! (in big, bad wolf voice).

That wouldn't be as fun, if she knows that you have a thing for wearing her heels. If she finds out later that you have been wearing her heels, and then starts letting you wear them, the thrill is gone. One thing that would be cool is to have a female roommate that sometimes goes shoe shopping, and to somehow wear her brand new heels before she even has a chance to try them on.

Guy: "I saw them FIRST! They're MINE! It's the LAST pair they have. Come back next week, and they'll have more in." Girl: "They're women's shoes, dude! You're a guy! Get those pumps off your feet. They're mine! We should have dibs on any shoe in this department! See that sign over there? It says MEN'S shoe department! Go over there and buy yourself a cool pair of Vans or something! Leave our heels ALONE, or i'll whip out my camera phone and take a video of you wearing them, and send it to Youtube!" And a shoebomber like Richard Reid is all any of us would have to worry about!

As one person said, if the shoes were once tight, or felt a certain way, and then one day, she puts them on, and they feel loose, she would be able to tell that SOMEONE had her shoes on. If there's just a man and a woman living in the house, then the man's fetish would be found out. If there's more than one female living in the house, then it would be more difficult to figure out who's been wearing her shoes, but all she would have to do is ask the other female(s) if they have. Shoe size would matter, of course. If the woman knows that the other females have a smaller or larger foot, then the secret would be out, as well. Sorta like "Goldielocks and the Three Bears", eh? Nevertheless, I am sure she is excited, or the least bit surprised, that a man's foot has been in them. Can you imagine her playing along, buying more and more pumps, getting the guy to wear her shoes in for her? As many times as i've gone to thrift stores and bought a beautiful pair of pumps, i wonder how many women who have donated shoes to the store have thought, "well i'm giving these shoes away to charity. I wonder what MAN will buy them and parade around in them?" I also wonder how many women have gotten envious, thinking "damn! that guy bought those beautiful pumps. I wish i would have found them first!" There's a thought! A man and a woman fighting over a pair of pumps in a thrift store. Wouldn't that be classic? I have a fantasy of being a telephone repairman, or a cable guy, and having access to a woman's bedroom. Then i'd make a b-line to her closet, hoping i'd strike it rich! Since i also have a purse fetish, i'd be in purse and shoe heaven! I'm sure that everyone who loves what we do, secretly wearing a woman's heels, gets a definite high pulse rate from such an experience. It's innocent, it doesn't cause anyone harm, and it's exciting for both parties involved.

I love the higher-end designer shoes! They are handcrafted so much nicer than the everyday run-of-the-mill shoes. They put better workmanship into them, making them last longer. THAT'S why you get a heftier price tag. I can't believe that some medium-end shoe designers are taking the high road to China these days. Nine West shoes used to make a beautiful, sturdy, fashionable pump back in the 80's and 90's. They were made in Brazil, and you could tell how nice the leather was. These days, they're made in China, and selling for the same price, or even higher! What kind of quality can you get from a pump made in China, with sweat shops galore!

don't remember if i answered this question yet, but i would love a smaller foot size. Heels look SOOO much better on a smaller foot, not all big and bulky like some size 10 and up. We're all into fashion, and that's what a small heel on a small foot is.

In my opinion, and experience, secretly trying on a woman's heels, that a woman currently owns, has been the ultimate in pleasure. She has no idea that someone elses feet, not to mention a man's feet, has been in her shoes. That's the ultimate in pleasure, IMHO! An aunt, sister, mother, cousin, grandmother, friend, whoever! Some women out there are forever in the dark to the fact that some guy has been parading around in their heels. I've done this! It gets the heart pumping, right when the roommate leaves the apartment, I rummage through her closet, getting out a pair of her stilettos, and slipping those babies on my feet. It gives me the ultimate rush! Anyone else wanna comment?

I wanted to add something that i found interesting. Last night, I went to a local Macy's and bought the Nine West "Freda" pump. The male cashier asked me "is this a gift for someone?" Maybe there ARE a lot of men who buy women's shoes for themselves out there, and maybe Macy's (and other department stores) are aware of that? I don't know, if i were ever working in a lady's shoe department (I would LOVE to do that!) that i would ever ask a man, "are the shoes a gift for someone?" unless the store requested that i ask that. Anyway, i am disappointed in the color I got. I got the brown patent, because in the light they looked red. I should have just got the black patent ones. Anyway, they are beautiful pumps and i would recommend them to anyone!

well, i guess that means your date doesn't know you have a women's shoe fetish, eh? Maybe you should explain that to her, talk to her. If she is a date, and not a keeper, then what do you care what she thinks? if she is a keeper, then please explain to her your fetish and talk things out.

I think the floffy part is okay, but i would rather have them without. I found some HOT ones on the Macy's website. Check these out from Nine West!

Well, according to shoes.com, they go up to a size 10M (US). That would be 41 Euro. I want some in black patent!
