Laurieheels

Look for details about new shoes in this weeks diary, it will be #12, posted here under the fetish and extreme section, and of course, a copy will be on Jenny's board as well. And yes, I used the web camera for pictures today! So we can look forward to those as well. New shoes for Laurie. How wonderful!

Just some random thoughts about this. I think that any urban situation is suited to high heels. After all, we're in a city with paved roads, actual sidewalks, and buildings where at least we expect everything will be smooth and easy for a walk. And if there are some cracks or an obstacle to navigate, we can manage. Yes, cobblestones, and yes, ice and snow, but in a modern North American city, I would say heels can be worn all of the time, even extreme heels if the wearer is proficient. Just some thoughts on a snowy afternoon.

I can't say what I will wear going out in that last blast of winter snow, but at home, a burgandy stretch top with short sleeves and a high neck, and a short black stretch skirt. And black strappy sandals with a four inch heel. There, today's outfit. By next week I should have more interesting things to talk about, when I get back to work.

Rubber stockings, Vicki, you'll have to tell us about wearing them, since they are so uncommon. I would think rubber would be enough, but then a seam... is that a rubber molded seam, or is it another material?

You've done it now, Vicki. You're a trend setter! That's great news, interest means people may dabble in heels a bit, or a bit more, and in the end we all benefit. You're changing the shoe world for the better!

I have seen four pairs of heels today, two four inch and two five inch! They're new and in my bedroom! *TEASE* I think I'll save the details for diary day. Heeheehee, oh the torture.

The aspect of fetish as an object that allows focus, such as feathers used for old world magic spells, has been changed, sure. But so often, the strongest obsessions can involve sexual responses, and those are thoe ones society has a fetish for reporting. I cannot fathom why, but there is quite the media focus upon things that society cannot approve of. It's much like a car accident, where it is gruesome yet everyone looks.

aren't kids wonderful!

The whole idea is to allow them the freedom of expression so that they are not rebelling, just being themselves. I would think allowing the option for heels would help foster that.

Until I have some children, I cannot comment for certain, of course. But I think it is possible to raise children that have only minor rebellious aspects in them.

Nice jeans, Inga. I wish I could buy jeans that looked like that on me! My outfit today, a bit simple. Pink sweater with half sleeves, and a long black skirt with slit on the left. Black stockings, and black oxfords. I won't be outside much, granted, but looking good helps one feel good, and thus, recover.

That's true enough. Non sexual fetish, but one all the same. But if I have one for shoes, why not have more about other things? Having a fetish for the kitchen section of Ikea doesn't seem as healthy, somehow...

Way to go, Jo-jo! Okay, so they're not your style, but higher is better and you'll move up quick, don't worry! Congratulations on passing 100!

I am wearing my five inch stilettos at home. It must have a positive psychological effect, because I am feeling better and it has been half an hour now. I am not walking very well because of being sore, but my spirits are lifted, so it has to be good. Even injured I can still compete. OI like that.

Lets' face it, Inga, we're all obsessed with fashion, even if it is not with the trends. I know it is a stereotype, but it is so much fun! I know women who hate to shop, but I love it, especially when I have money!

Hello Maryanne, and welcome to the wonderful world of the HighHeel Meeting Place. Do post often and share as much as you'd like!

Okay, so there is no promotion involved, but this is #601. I would say, at the least, that I am doing well. And I am bored, not tired, and eager to type. Woo hoo, past 600. Only 150 until I reach a new style. Hey, not enough promotions happening around here, someone had to find a reason to celebrate!

This may have been discussed before, I don't know. I am bored, and Eva posting something about ternds for Tweenagers on Jenny's. Whatever inspires, I run with. Thanks Eva! So people, if you have kids, or when you have kids, will you encourage them to wear heels? Boys and girls included. Obviously you will let them wear heels, yes, but will you foster the fashion trend? And at what age would you allow your children to dress themselves and choose their own shoes? I know if I ever find a man and I have daughters, I will encourage them to wear heels. My mother helped me develop my love of heels, and I would hope to do the same for them. If I have boys, well, they can wear what they like. For either gender of children, the rule will be simple. You can wear whatever you like, provided it does not get you into trouble. If it does, save it for home. Sure a parent will need to take an active roll in a child's life and make sure things go okay, but I think well adjusted children are those treated like human beings and allowed to explore their individuality. That way, they don't have as many reasons to act rebellious because being a rebel is cool. And yes that is just my theory, I could be wrong, so don't attack that position. What say the rest of you?

Oh yes, certainly I will be great amongst shoe collectors. I dream of a walk in closet, or even a small room, with racks organizing by colour, style, height... And I thought it took a while to figure out what to wear every morning as it is. Imagine the moment I will have all of those shoes... This dream keeps me going, certainly.

I still prefer black stockings, and I cannot figure out why they appeal to me. Sure I have other colours now days, but black always seems to get my attention for an outfit. I am not sure what clear rubber stockings would do for my look. It's not something I could wear to work, certainly.

Pointy toes come in handy at times. They can be used to hook and open a desk drawer, they can be defensive, and they look good. I would say there is a pracitcal side to a pointy toed shoe for the person who is creative.

We're all different in what we like, it's very obvious. I think that it is wonderful, of course, because diversity is the key to society. Life would be boring if we were all the same. Here's to boots and infinite variety. (yes I am bored and not looking to nap today so I am just posting my rambling thoughts)

As usual, I don't notice people looking much. But I would say it is a fair mix between men and women. Five inch stiletto heels have to be an oddity in a cowboy town, so I am sure people are looking. Drag Queens in normal clothes seem to notice. But I cannot count them, because they just like the shoes, and not really the fact that I am wearing them in public. What a life I lead.

I never thought I could enjoy the presence of newbies, but for this forum, it means something different than an online game, I guess. Welcome newbies! Please register at the main reception and post like crazy!

Fox, you'd be broke before you landed! Me, I'd be fine, since as of today, I'd only bring four pairs total. In my own way, I am broke. Let's hope I can scrounge up 80 dollars for some feel good purchases! I could use it during this recovery. Then I, too, will know the horror of baggage charges!

Any shoe with a thin heel, and a shoe that accentuates my womanly curves, which are not the best but thus made all that much better by the shoes. Four or five inch heel, pointier toe, but not too pointy or the toe is too long, and certainly black is a wonderful colour. Slingbacks are great as well.

My sister cannot understand why I wear heels. She has been curious, and she tried my stilettos, and she thinks my feet must be damaged every day. Hey, they are not for her, but they work for me. But it is a bonding thing for myself and my mother, at least. Mom may think I need to go easy, but she understands why I wear the highest heels. She even talks about how she did that when she was younger, especially in Denmark.
