OK, OK,

but HTML is the good old thing which is easy to write (for me), so I hoped to spare this BBCode stuff!

best wishes

Joak

Couldn't agree with you more, Joak!

Unfortunately, BBCODE apparently is a required part of using the PHPBB 2.0x software, so "When in Rome, Ya gotta go with the flow"

(or words to that effect). At least there is a helpful set of codes above, on the "post a reply" page incase you get lost, as I almost always do...

Or, with BBCODE enabled, thusly

Joak's High Heels Page

If you want it displayed WHILE you type, just mouse over the <u>URL</u> box, then mouse horizontally right so that the pointer doesn't mouse over the Close Tags "button" which turns the URL example banner off.

You have to convert it into "BBCODE", thusly

Joak's High Heels Page

I actually never thought about this before, but it probably is the actresses wearing the heels, and their stunt doubles wearing the flats/lower heeled shoes.

Sometimes I amaze even myself!! :drinking: :drinking:

I thought I'd share a paragraph from today's editorial of (black American) columnist Thomas Sowell that seemed particularly relevant and profound:

The great curse of the 20th century was the inability of decent poeple to realize that what was unthinkable to them was both thinkable and doable by others--like Hitler, Stalin, Mao and Pol Pot. Are we to wait until Saddam Hussein has weapons of mass destruction and we wake up one morning to find a couple of American cities obliterated?

Any thoughts??

They DWARF you!

In other words, THEY IZ AWESOME!

If you can wear those....then its time to bow and scrape (to : SuperLaurie).

Cotton-lycra t-shirt style bodysuit, rayon hawaiian shirt, my lace-up jeans and these self-modified LEI summer clogs (yeah I know, they only have about 1-1/2 inch effective heel height, but that is 1-1/2" more than on ANY men's thong type sandals, and I neeed the thong to pull my big toes back into place). These pants pictured elsewhere, but I figured I'd post them here too.

Laurie

Another great post. Thursday was a long day especially after walking to lunch your feet must have been aching, did that mean some time in the bathroom with your shoes off.

Good luck with 5.5" inch shoes, cant wait to here your reports on you wearing them at work.

After reading Laurie's posts, and yours for several months now, I have concluded that Laurie's feet don't ache at the end of the day, much, if at all, if for no other reason than the fact that she is not the masochist that you keep hoping she is....

<echo Laurie>

It's muscle and tendon strain from areas that only get used when wearing high heels, spraining one's ankle, or other such activities...

Try it sometime--then you'll know!! (asked and answered...more than once)

Not a very nice song (if you really listen to the words) about a guy essentially stalking a girl that doesn't apparently care much for him:

Overload from the movie Dirty Dancing

"..Hear your heels, clicking on the sidewalk, beating to the rhythm of my heart..."

I found this pix the other day (which I cropped a bit) of Stevie Nicks in a pair of nice tan suede boots that come pretty close to my ideal:

Girls who obviously are just dying to know, but don't have the courage to come up and ask me why a guy would want to wear high heeled boots. Because I don't have the courage to start up a conversation either.

I did go to Debbie's site--esp like the black cheungsam. This topic needs some rescucitation. A few other things that haven't come back (yet) that I like to wear and see worn: From the Womens' fashions: Puff-sleeve (both at the shoulders and at the cuffs) blouses ("and see worn") and dresses. Above the elbow gloves. Amelia Erhardt style flying breeches. Corsets in general use. And the long black pencil dress that the Adams Family mother always wore! From the Mens' fashions: Revolutionary War era "suit coats" with lots of buttons, bright colors, exaggerated collars, long tails, etc. Also the capri-length breeches. Ghillie tie or buckle shoes. Above-the-knee riding boots with cuffs, circa 16th century France. Pointy toe suede forrester's or yeoman's ankle boots, circa 12th and 13th century England. Harlequin minstrel's clothing!

...a lot of Bull Pucky... :argue:

Get Off Of It Already, Driver-8

Oh all right:

The guy that masquerades as "azraelle", a somewhat feminized spelling of the Semite name for the "Angel of Death!", e.g., my twisted opinion of self, right after my divorce after 22 yrs of marriage, as "King Midas in Reverse", referring to a Hollies song of the same name.

Hey, it actually works!!! Is "BB Code" somehow related to the Apple-specific "BBEdit" html text editor by Bare Bones Software??

JustMySize brand, or possibly AroundTheClock works well for the larger people here, not as many colors available as L'EGGS though.

7" heels, no problem for Wilt the Stilt Chamberlain (were he so inclined!) with size 15 (or is it 16?) male foot. Big problem for size 6 female foot. Not necessarily impossible, but the shape of the shoe for given heel height is VERY dependent on the size of the shoe.

How the bloody he** do you make use of the new search function to find the last posted posts???? :x The new look IS nice, tho.

From "Minority Report" (aproximately):

"Where is the Minority Report?"

<center>"In the mind of the Precog."</center>

"Which Precog?"

<center>"The one with the most talent."</center>

"Which one is that?"

<center>"Why, the female of course!!"

</center>

I edited my post, Bijan was the french one whose bottle was shaped like a doughnut that I couldn't remember the name of! And that makes 250, a good place to stay for awhile.

Why so many scents? It was the only thing open to me that I could wear in the way of makeup without undo embarrassment to my family.

And Laurie, if you like vanilla scents, you would love Shalimar! Give it a try when you're in a well-heeled (!) mood.

...NO BOOK WOULD HAVE SURVIVED THE CRITICISM OVER THE CENTURIES IF IT WASNT INSPIRED BY GOD.

Can't quite swallow that last point. Many other books have survived quite nicely, thank you, and been proven dead wrong. Galen's medical anatomy of the human body comes immediately to mind. Others have survived, and are considered either non-Christian, or even anti-Christian, by most Christians, particularly of the Born-again ilk (the Koran, Popul Vuh, Kama Sutra, Tibetan Book of the Dead, etc.).

I don't have a problem with the Bible (or the Book of Mormon, for that matter) being accepted as "inspired by God"; but it stands on its own merit--your argument in and of itself holds no water, and is worse than useless in attempting to convince a non-believer of the truthfulness of the Bible.

But there was no plot development, no continuity, from issue to issue (each issue, heck each story within each issue, stood on its own)! That was my point. Besides, I couldn't think of any others at the time. Yeah I liked Veronica's clothes too.
