Fun for one person isn't as exciting for the next. For some reason I am not enthused about the corest idea, so who knows when it will happen. So long as I can breathe and bend and eat wearing it, then I might have fun... we'll see.

At the very least, I know that Jante makes shoes in a size that I can fit, and there are enough styles that I could order a size from any place and know it would fit. For me, I do notice I need some extra padding for the ball of my foot, which is okay, except that I have to use heel slip guards and cut them up, and the packages of those are expensive sometimes. But they are nice shoes. I wish I had a pair in red. Sometimes black needs a break.

I can see young men wearing such a style, with baggy denim shorts, loose shirts and ball caps. I think it would be appropriate for summer. After all, it is based on a clog design, and in Europe, aren't clogs a unisex style? My grandfather owns clogs, ones made in Denmark. So I am thinking that a more athletic style from Nike has to be just as acceptable.

Work has rules, and being seen by the public, especially narrow minded people, can lead to trouble. And let's not mention the drunks and elderly men who leer at young women! Sometimes, one has to dress with a bit of a defensive style. Funny, as this does pertain to the subject. At work, a few of us can bond over this issue as well. We are careful about not letting the drunks and perves see something they shouldn't, and in a way, it brings us together, making us better friends with shared experiences.

As a maid of honur for my mother, five inch heels. I should post that picture soon, now that I have it at home. I would hope I am wearing five inch heels on my wedding day, let's put it that way.

Way to go, Anagram! See how much fun it is to post a lot? You'll make 900 one day, that's for certain!

This is mainly for the girls, but I am sure men will reply. I think what would be best is this topic in the guys section as well, so guys, feel free to start it there to compliment the thread here.. Okay, here I go. Do you ever just sit there and look at your shoes? I mean, I do, and I think "wow, I can actually wear these" and I feel damn good about myself for it! It is like a crow and a shiny object, I suppose. I just can't help but look at what I am wearing and be impressed with myself. Does anyone else ever have this reaction, and what does it mean for you? Do you spend time admiring the shoes you are wearing? I seem to be doing this a lot in the past few days. So I am wondering what the other girls have to say about it.

no, no corsets. I've never tried one. I do have this idea that in four or five pounds I can show my belly button in public again, so I think I'd like to leave that area uncovered for wearing some slightly small tank top. I'll never be thin and perfect, but then I don't believe in it. I would not rule out a corset, but purely as a fashion accessory, or something fun to wear. Anything that restricts my breathing, eating, or mobility doesn't thrill me too much.

Thank you. I just try to say what needs to be said, and what we are all thinking. It's about time the world changed for the better, so why not encourage it?

Buffalo is, well... there was this one section, and as my University friends and I walked through it, we thought we were in 1950. And the sewers gave off a funny smell. To be fair, I was there so many years ago that I shouldn't be too critical. Maybe it is more like 1970 now! Europe... my mother would only move to Denmark, so if you have someone who will pay for everything, that's where we'll be.

How about a sweet potato and bacon tart? I think the contrast of flavours would be excellent. We could thin slice the sweet potato and make the outer layer of the tart with bacon. Some cooked and crumbled bacon could go between the sweet potato layers to really carry the flavour throught the dish, and uncooked bacon would be used for the frame. But twenty minutes is a very short time if making a large version of this, so it's not a great idea. Maybe a mashed sweet potato and bacon creation? In the last few minutes, the mixture could be shaped and put uner a broiler to give it a crispy golden finish. Like a crust, and the rye meal could be used to help that.

I prefer four straps, and the snaps can be plastic or metal, I have no preference there. Why four straps? It's less work in the morning! it's also the most common style to find in the lingerie stores where I live. I am happy with it.

Why? Because politicians, old men, and oil companies run the world. The real reason is fashion has become a money making industry and is not about self expression. They expect women to spend spend spend and men should be paying for it, I suppose. Of course, we don't care what the fashion world will dictate. Just find a store with larger sizes, by the boots you like, and wear them! Many so called feminine boots are far too masculine for me, so they should be easy to turn into a unisex style. Heel or not, the boots out there today can double up for the genders. We still have this men are manly men mentality in society that prohibits the freedom of expression. It will take people who are willing to break that stereotype to make the world a better place.

Off white stockings with black shoes can look good if the outfit is not black. For example, a green skirt and a white blouse can go well with linen stockings and black shoes. But a true white is too bright for anything but nursing.

I don't live in a city where a bra can be worn and show more than a bit of strap. It's too freakishly cold! But I suppose a bra covered by a sheer blouse might make it interesting, and I have done this before. I've been told not to wear that particular blouse to work. Ooops! Funny, my mother and I own the same style blouse for that, but in different colours. Okay, so there is another common bond

Tights can look nice, but I really hate how tights and hose can bunch up, and the fit is difficult for me. I am on the cusp between two sizes because of my height. So the fit is never so happy. I cut the panty part off of some tights, and I fold the top of each leg over so my garter belt can hook onto them. It is just more comfortable. The look of tights can be sexy, yes, especially for the opaque. I would imagine it looks better than the sheer of nylons for than panty section. But this only my experience from looking into the kirror back when I wore those styles. I'm exclusively stockings and garters these days.

At least as much, maybe even more. That debate could never be settled, however...

Changing a headlamp is no big deal, well, not for me and my old car. It's quite easy and low cost. Why pay a mechanic money to do a five minute job? The fact that it was done in heels is just something that makes me feel all warm and giggly inside. And to think, that comment, when posted on Jenny's board, had people start to think I wasn't a woman, just a troll fantasy poster. Riiiiiight. And for the record, I wore five inch stilettos all day, so nya nya heeheehee

Bras. I am sure my mother owns 40 of them, at least, and I am following her quite well. Going shopping for bras can be quite exciting!

Now, now, Driver8, no need for harsh comments about other women. We ultra fems are tough to find in a modern, comfort oriented world.

I like to be asked about my shoes, but it is so rare I feel quite frustrated. Some of you are really fortunate.

I would like to thank the Academy, my mother, God... Oh... OH! And by that, I mean thank you everyone, I will try to be a good moderator, and escape the hectic aspects of this position. And Inga, good luck, kick bottom and show the world you rule. 8 replies so far, wow. Well wishes indeed.

I recently saw some footage of Kylie in concert on a music channel here. Yay Much Music. It was an hour from a concert in Australia. Where else? She was wearing heels through the whoile thing, four inch, five inch, and wow, she runs across the stage in them! She even had a very nice pair of white stiletto heel oxfords for a few songs. Impressive, and certainly inspirational. If she can do it, I can, and the rest of us can. Right?

Maryanne: All it takes is practice and some stretching. I hope you do have a pair appear out of the blue, and then you can start wearing them! Go slow at first, and give your feet time to adjust to the new positions and pressures. Phuong: Thanks, I am glad you approve! They really are nice shoes. I'm glad you think I have great taste! Inga: Like, we all know you enjoy heels, so that's quite the obvious statement there! At least we're on the same wavelength for this style.

We all know the general rules for fashion. Stockings should never be darker than the colour of the shoes. But is there anyone who thinks different than this? Or is there anyone who likes the look? It comes up because when I was at Heelsonline, I wore black stockings, and I had to try on the white baby doll pumps. I said "Lock the door, the fashion police might show up". Personally, I like to stick to the rule, but maybe others have different opinions on this. So? What do you have to say about the colour of stockings and the colour of shoes?
