  1. If what we are saying here is disrespectful to women, then the real issue is about over sensitivity. This is not about being crticial and seeing something ad disgusting, this is our respect for the human body shining through. Susan, when you say you wear short toed pointy shoes, this just reaffirms the idea of this topic. We don't think women should change their bodies in a drastic way in order to wear a certain style of shoe, and you prove that it is not a requirement. I am not offended by anything on this board, and everyone is being good here. If anything, you and what you have been through prove that there is no need to modify a foot to wear shoes. At the risk of being told I made you feel unwelcome, which I am not doing by the way, I have to say, you need to turn down your sensitivity level. No one here is disrespecting women, in fact, at times, it is a real celebration! We are happy that you share your opinion, but we will always keep in mind that it is your opinion. Sometimes it doesn't come across that way. I like strappy sandals, you don't, well that's just a difference then. It makes us unique and more interesting.

  2. The main goal is to crate an active environment for the discussion of high heels. If we bleed through the categories, that's fine. If it is an extreme difference between topic and forum, then the topic can be moved. We cannot sacrifice the sense of community and well being because someone posted an everyone topic in the Girl's section. And we never know what the person posting the topic is thinking at the outset. Let things go, and fix them only as needed. Leave the rules as guildelines, and enforce them if need be.

  3. I like the two pedal system, it forces a driver to be aware, alert and develop good reflexes. Sometimes we need to teach saftey as a habit to be formed, a way of driving, and not perform a quick fix with technology. If I am wearing heels that day, I am driving in them, and no designer will be allowed to get in the way! :smile:

  4. Anonymous, I have little advice save for this. Go slow and keep your feet on the soft, snowy parts as much as you can. If the ice is sheer with no protection, then try and find a wall or railing and use it to pull your balance. The last time I fell in the winter I slipped on ice while wearing my Reeboks. I had quite the bruise, and no one cared that I slipped and landed like I did. But that was two years ago. I go slow and weave a great deal. I would mention the moving fast over ice method, but that is tricky, even for me, so don't try it unless you are good at finding a soft path.

  5. A white shirt, very revealing with three quarter sleeves, a dark green wrap around skirt with white/grey/brown flowers on it, subtle and classy. Linen stockings and black patent shoes.

  6. Fox: An ideal is something a person creates. Ideal, meaning, a perfect setting, the right condition to suit that person. An ideal should be personal. it is only a mental block when it has been ascribed on the person by someone else. Ideals are great, if they are the one we create for ourselves in an attempt to aspire to something greater. They are bad when someone else sets the ideal and forces us to live up to it. Charlie: Thank you for your summary of what I was trying to say. Guilty by association. Exactly the point. And only a small loss, as you say. Such people we do not need in our lives. :smile:

  7. The conflict goes back over a thousand years, and let's face it, the Crusades did not help any. Christianity, Islam, and Judaism all find the same place holy. And of course, everyone would like to control that one place. I did not like seeing pictures of tanks purposely driving over parked cars, and of course, this occupation of military vehicles is not ging to end anything. The problem is so old that someone has to go back, find the common roots, and as mentioned above, cultural integration must occur. After all, we have three religions with very similar foundations (they all share, no one can dispute it) and maybe it is like three sisters who are so alike they cannot stand it. It's like a family fued between cousins, and they're not calling names anymore. This one will be tough to stop.

  8. I saw the new No Doubt video today. Hella Good. Now, I am quite pleased, because I think the song is great. A little bit techno, a bit industrial, some good alternative rock beats, maybe a tiny bit of retro pop to it. The point! Gwen Stefani. She seems to have developed a thing for heels. In the last video for Hey Baby she was wearing some pretty high heeled shoes and boots. Stiletto heels, up to five inches. This video continues the trend. I think she was in a jet ski race with the other band members and in a few shots, you guessed it, five inch stiletto boots. They are shown really well in a scene where she is lying down and the camera is above her. Check it out. Hella Good. If you don't know the slang, apparently hella means a whole lot of. That is what my source on slang tells me. And the song really lives up to the name.

    Great profiles thus far, come on everyone....

    Yes, I quite agree, and we do need many more people to join in and share with us. How can we be a functional community if people don't even share a few of the surface details?

  10. I am much more like #2 than #3. Many women who work in the same uilding as me are much like #3, and they all seem to have their perfect lives. Maybe men see me as unapproachable because I am not like everyone else? #3 is nice, but I think if the pants are going to stand out with the colour and material, the sweater should not have as many attention getting details. it is a bit busy. A red skirt might be a better option for that outfit, to bring the focus up more to a proper blend of the sweater and a short skirt. As it is, a frumpy sweater and tigh pants seem out of place. part fetish, part waife. Nice boots, of course

  11. Boots and more boots. Many three and four inch thin blade heels are showing up in the building. I have to be a bit envious, even if I wear higher heels. I wish I had the money to spend on fancy clothes and knee high leather boots. They are quite the trend.

  12. Liberation is required in this situation... Make a cheap copy and replace it. Since you mention other clothing being resized and damaged, who will notice? As for what to make with a shoe motif, charms for a charm bracelet, earrings, a pendtant for a necklace, charms for a chain belt, that could be nice. I would suggest ankle bracelet ideas, but that is so close to the actual shoes that it may overpower everything. Talk about too much of a hint.

  13. My car is too dirty from the winter blues, I could never take off my shoes to drive without ruining my stockings. I just about cry if I get a snag, so you can imagine what happens if I have a run or big hole in any given stocking...
