My light grey suit. Short skirt, short button up jacket... It is quite the fitted outfit, and it makes the curves look great. Underneath, a black tank top that looks good when I leave the jacket open. Black stockings, and black five inch stilettos round out the outfit.

How do we deal with this... 2 simple things. 1 - A woman can always say no or excuse herself, if she has confidence in herself as a person. As women, we can walk away and be strong if we do not like something. 2 - And who cares what other people think? Do your own thing and be happy. If everyone is somewhat unique, just go about your life as you will, and you'll run into like minded people. If you compliment a woman and she does not like it, she can just refer to item #1! (this only works if a man is smart enough to have respect for other people and their opinions.)

I know this would be bad for many surfaces, but what about a custom heel tip, made of metal, but almost like a claw. Something that could dig in and offer the stability metal doesn't offer most of the time? It would sound strange, but would it work?

Way to go Vicki, and way to go, Chip! Yes Chip, 950 more to go. You can do it! Only a few days effort... I think Vicki will beat you to it.

Okay, fine Anagram, I am the hottest High Heeled Woman in Calgary. Is that better? I don't know if it's true, but if I believe it, then it can be. Right? Heehee

Thank you, everyone. I am glad people think I have good taste. I really think the leopard print stilettos a5re the find of that trip. I was going to get the style in black, but one of the girls pulled out the leopard and it was magic. I just kept saying "They're good, they're really good" but they're actually qicked cool. Once I find a blouse to compliment them, I will be the hottest high heeled women in Calgary. You wait and see!

What about the effect of environment on the sound? There is one place at work, in the restaurant area, where the echo is quite fun. I love to walk between the couches in this one spot just to create the echo. And since our building is open from ground to floor twelve (big skylights up there at the top) the sound of heels can resound quite well. Sometimes there are great sounds from ugly shoes, simple because the heel of that shoe has good material and goes well with the acoustics of the lobby. Go figure.

Oh yes, very funny. I am so amused... I'll just have to see to it that you open your own door.

I had a five inch black courts day today as well! What cosmic event is going on to have all of us in such synchronicity?

Another thing that I notice is this. There were a few occasions where my heel got stuck on the iron grills found at pavement drains or man-holes. The guys are very willing to help but not the girls. Strange though.

That's easy to understand, Nata. The jealous women who cannot wear heels are thinking "Ha! She deserves it for wearing those shoes!"

Jealousy prevents them from being civil. It is worse when the men rush to help you, as the female jealousy increases!

French Fry? Not even invented in France, and Twentieth Century Cowboys don't count, because they were from a different time frame than oppulent French Nobles who lived off the toil of lower classes. But good on those cowpokes and their well heeled boots.

Well, Yamyam, you should post a bit more, shake off the blues, and just go forward. We can never change the past, we can just try and find something new with our future.

I'll agree with the nobility, Slim, but Chivalry? It's always been more of an ideal and a dream than something practiced by so called nobles. Oh, how critical of me.

Way to go, Francis. Impressive shoes, and yes, it would be nice to own a pair that matches the rank. All in good time, I say...

Society is fickle! It's like this, and I hope this is the short version. Heels are a means of elevation, and they were required to be fashionable. Height was important for men and women in this time, for many reasons. Now the world changes, and the image of men becomes rugged. Men should be tall and strong, and not wear the feminine attire. We have a great division between men and women, and the high fashion is replaced by military looks. Essentially, the male fashions change in the age of the professional solider. Why? It is considered a good career. So kinds and princes and Dukes wear military uniforms, and are not so fashionable. The look is to be rugged and ready for military action. it says "I am a leader in these troubled political times" Women are continuing to be weak and dainty, even if not a choice but a requirement because of a male dominated society. So as fashion goes, men stay rugged into the 19th century with all of the war and politics, and women are made to be feminine, and with the independence we develop, we push the fashion in many directions. Men are still the hard workers, the soliders, the mechanics, and the emphasis is on them to work and provide. Women look nice. We're past that, now, and the social conventions can change. But until now, no one has viewed the change as acceptable. So give it time, because the social boundaries are breaking. But blame the rise of professional armies and political strife that generated the idea of solider as good, and the need for Nobility to dress in uniforms. Wow. I just threw that together. And that

Maybe someone has seen a commercial about sh9oes or featuring shoes that is cute. I have one to share. It is for Kentucky Fried Chicken. They have a contest for Mother's Day, win lots of money if you have the winning game piece after buying some big chicken meal. Like I really wish to fill myself with high fat, artery cloging pieced of deep fried death. And I am not a mother, so I don't think I can win. But, to the commercial. The couple are having dinner, and the sounds of a baby or babies can be heard. The wife leaves the table, and the husband is telling her "They're fine!" The woman opens the door and turns on the light. Inside, hundreds of pairs of shoes. And she waves to them before closing the door. And every time this commercial is on, my sister looks at me, and my mother keeps bringing it up. I have been stereotyped, ladies and gentlemen. This time, I don't mind. Just something fun to share.

It's warm! The weather is so nice! Today's outfit, now that I can be out and about again, consists of black capri pants with a cuff, a tight, pink stretch top with half length sleeves and a revealing neck line, and my new black strappy sandals with the 4 1/4 inch clear stiletto heel. Spring is here and I am thrilled!

Fox, if you like to do that sort of thing, great, but me, I like the look of the clear heel. And part of the sole is also clear lucite, but not any part that comes into contact with the ground. I love the look more and more every day, so I will wear them as is. Randy and the Boys: Thanks, and yes I am feeling better.

It doesn't work as well to get something out, but it is great for putting something away. Open drawer, drop in the item, and push it closed. Why not use feet, and thus shoes, if one can?

Shoe Shopping is one of the best parts in life! Unless a person does not like shoes. I live for the chance to try on shoes and then find that perfect pair.

Thanks for the pictures. That extra thick tip giving the extra quarter inch - and as you get used to the 5 1/4 inch the tip will be wearing down bringing you back to 5 inch - but hope that won't stop your progress

It won't wear all that much, and I can have the tips replaced often, or even changed to metal if I like. But it will provide a good bridge between five and five and a half inches. So I should be able to use these new shoes to transition upward and onward for the experiment as much as for my lifestyle in heels.

It's so exciting!

I make good use of shoes all the time! A heel or a pointy toe can be good for opening a drawer on a desk that has a loop handle. We have some of these at work. Why bend down when one does not have to? And in a shorter skirt, it's not a good idea. So shoes become tools to help out. I also use shoes to amuse me with sound. You can tap heels, toes, and generally make a nice rhythmic sound to occupy the brain in those tedious times.

Highluc, try before you buy is my motto! I'm glad you have a similar idea. Not that everyone is able to do this, for whatever reason.

Inga, why are the trees so green? OH, I know, warm weather. It's been missing for so long I cannot remember last summer. Certainly that looks to be a wonderful place for wearing heels. You are the lucky one.

More pictures are in my diary, posted in the ultra heels section. Go have a look, everyone!
