Shirl again (Garbage) check out the metallic red courts & back patent ankle boots (and I can't figure out what she did to him - very sinister)

Talking about Jamie Lee Curtis earlier up the thread, my memory is vague but I'm sure she is nicely shod in the Cleese 'Fish called Wanda' film too. How high not sure but the display was good.

(we could do with an emoticon with tongue hanging out much further )

Seem to recall when playing a hooker in 'Trading Places' she wore heels

Looking good TBG

That's three shout outs for the 420s, can we add them to the list?

Smart cars are surprisingly safe

Transformation.

As well as comfort and femininity. I feel transformed. Something happens. Physically , psychologically even spiritually. Sort of feeling authentic and genuine. The person I really am is revealed. And I'm complete. Healed.

Words don't seem to convey the effect. But it's a powerful feeling for sure.

Sorry for the incoherent chatter

Not incoherent at all. I get a sense of self fulfilment, placation & I also feel quite sexy.

Hi

I think stockings and heels compliment each other, they are a jaw dropping combination

tights can look good but its when you get above the thigh they suddenly go bad and can look actually quite ugly where as a nice lacy suspender belt and metal stocking clasps just adds to the beauty of the whole look

the problem with off the shelf suspenders is they usually only have 2 straps 4 or more is better to be more secure thats probably why some women dont wear them

But its the high heels that first get you noticed then the stockings,skirt etc

its really about the whole look

stockings and high heels my favorite combination!

Thinking of maybe going for a pair of 420s next in red

Yes that's me alright

Very succinctly put Cassie, really puts things in perspective

Sorry. Was still in the process of uploading. Here is the last set. The Jeans skirt !

You definitely got the legs for the denim skirt

Hello Murray. Think you need a few more posts before you can view the galleries but I'm fairly new here myself.

Quite taken with this ad that keeps popping up on the telly box

I'll just have to be careful with the next lot of pics in my album Chris, the last lot disappeared!

Thank you. Enjoyed your 'adventures', you're very brave.

Appears the mods thought my gallery was cheap as well, it appears to have been taken down Oh well, saved me the bother. I'll upload more appropriate content in the future.

Welcome to hhplace. Where about in England are you from? You have nice legs by the way.

Thank you but I'm sure you'll agree a decent pair of heels works wonders for most legs. I'm in the South East.

Black hose would look nice with those.

I always think black hose with light coloured shoes smacks a bit of Minnie Mouse

Virginia school district ponders banning cross-gender dress

Not easy being a teenager

Was going to go for red next time but these appeal, tan hose?

I went out in public in my heels again tonight. This time I wore my 4 inch slingbacks in stead of my 5.5 inch pumps. it was easier walking in them. I went to cvs and stop and shop. Cvs was a cake walk. Because they had carpets. Stop and shop a little harder due to their floors. but overall much easier. I wanted to stay out in them. but not much was open this late on a sat. And I drove in them also. Got a new lipstick which I'm wearing now.

Wish I had your courage but I'm still learning to walk in my 5" courts (pleasure doing so) but I doubt I'll ever go public in heels, at least in my current locale

Welcome to hhplace, StockingTop! It is very surprising how tranquilizing a nice pair of heels can be, isn't it?

You're not wrong bud

I haven't posted here for a while but I have been having plenty of adventures in heels. Here are some of the more memorable days/outfits from memory (sorry, no full outfit photos, my camera's been broken for a while):

1) My strappy black peeptoes ( black strappy.jpg ) with black opaque tights, a dark orange mini-skirt and black poloneck top under my denim jacket, with an orange scarf. This was my first time daring to wear a skirt, I only did it because I felt good about the whole outfit. It turned out I felt far more confident than I expected. and that evening I went back to the store where I'd bought the skirt and heels to say thanks to the shop assistant and show her the outfit.

2) My brown boots ( brown boots 2.jpg ) with black leggings and a light brown wool dress (really just looks like a long jumper) with my denim jacket. I noticed a few glances but nothing that made me feel at all uncomfortable, even exchanged a few smiles.

3) My blue peeptoes ( blue-peeptoes.jpg ) with a matching poloneck jumper and black trouser-suit. At lunchtime the sales assistant in the sandwich shop said "looking good!" which really took me by surprise so all I could manage was a brief "Thanks". (Note to self, compliments are rare, I'll make more of an effort to be more appreciative in future).

4) The same brown boots as #2 above but with blue skinny jeans and a cream top under a smart tweed jacket. Previously I'd tried the same look with my tall flat-heeled brown boots and felt practically invisible all day. The high-heeled boots definitely sharpened up the outfit and got a few discrete glances.

5) My grey court stilettos ( grey courts.jpg ) with black bootcut jeans and a white shirt under a grey v-neck jumper. I changed into my flat shoes to go to a concert in the evening, but waiting for the doors to open I saw a few women looking good in their heels so, feeling a little envious, I talked myself into changing back into my heels for the rest of the evening, which was fine and uneventful but exciting to be in heels.

6) Brown ankle boots ( brown ankle boots.jpg ) with blue skinny jeans and a dark brown ribbed poloneck jumper. This was my first time wearing high-heeled ankle boots without the cover of bootcut jeans and felt quite daring, perhaps even moreso than when I wore my leggings/skinny-jeans tucked into my taller boots. Despite my apprehension beforehand I felt pretty confident as the day went on, definitely a feel-good look for me.

Then I wanted to explore the boundaries a bit more so I tried:

7) My tall grey boots ( greyboots.jpg ) with black fishnet tights, a black skirt (just above the knee) and white shirt under a grey v-neck jumper. Outdoors I wore my 3/4-length black coat. I generally felt good but with an undercurrent of self-consciousness throughout the day.

8 ) My tall green boots ( Wallis boots.jpg ), the same black skirt as #7 above but with sheer black tights instead of the fishnets, and a black poloneck top under a green knitted jumper. Again outdoors I wore my 3/4-length black coat. The day included a visit to the cafe, and a bus ride to a concert in the evening, all of which were great. I got a bit carried away and stayed in the outfit for the journey home in the evening, which was uneventful but reminded me of the horrible way men look at women sometimes.

I must admit those last two outfits must've presented the image of a guy trying to be a woman, rather than just a guy in heels, though I didn't wear any make-up or change my way of speaking to anyone (and I was still addressed as "sir" which was fine). I'll probably revert to a more causal guy-in-heels look most of the time, but it was fun to feel a bit more glamorous and in the right surroundings I'll occasionally do that again too.

I'm sorry I'll need to see actual pictures of you in the outfits before I pass comment (especially the fishnets )

For those that did not see the Superbowl commercials, and I am sure there are many because this is almost exclusively American, check out the Pepsi commercial. Now those are some bold heels on Elton John's part!

One word 'Glamrock', probably an old pair of Gary Glitters

OK, a longer intro (as promised) ... Recall slipping on a pair of powder blue stilletos when I was about 10 (there was an old sideboard in my bedroom which still had some of Mum's old shoes in) also a pair of white peep toe high heels. Soon after that I was left to my own devices through the school holidays and had a lot of fun discovering tights & stockings in all their forms & colours (which, to an extent, excluded heels). I 'rediscovered' heels when I had a long term relationship with a typical Essex girl who liked her thigh boots and stilletos and can recall buying her very high heels (which sometimes were reserved just for the bedroom). She was only a size 5 so I couldn't 'borrow' her shoes ( except for one pair of heeled sandals that had a fair degree of adjustment). She knew of my proclivity for wearing tights, stockings and other associated lingerie but perhaps wasn't entirely comfortable with it maybe because at the time it was her underwear I was stretching! Still very into my nylon but these days I've rediscovered heels & the pair I'm wearing in my avatar are the first that haven't been 'borrowed' - they're all mine!. It's weird but since I've been wearing heels on a more regular basis (only around the house, don't think I'd ever have the courage to wear them in public) my mood has calmed. I used to get stressed about many things. Was loading the car after a Tescos run tonight & the handle broke on the wine carrier just as I was putting it in the boot costing me two bottles of Merlot & a very good Shiraz, pre heels I would have lost it big time but I remained totally calm & just considered myself lucky the other three bottles hadn't broken. Getting a nice high red pair next.
