Shafted, Having had coffee with you I can see that happening. Thanks for sharing. Henri

My favorites are the two first ones. That's my style.

I agree with Steve. Try out a Mani/Pedi. I am diabetic and my Dr. has recommended a Pedi to take care of feet. It's AWESOME. Henri

So yesterday was a fun and interesting day. I've been wanting to debut my blue suedette courts (5" heel, 1½" hidden platform) with a matching blue blouse and tailored black jacket. I couldn't decide between the jacket's matching black trousers (tailored but quite a slim fit with a bootcut which givs them quite a funky look) or a black pencil skirt. In the end I went for the skirt as it'll be plenty cold enough for trousers as the winter sets in, plus I really wanted to show off the shoes (worn with sheer tights) and not just have them peeping out from under trousers I accessorised with some inexpensive silver jewelry - a watch, bracelet, necklace and a couple of rings, and a black satchel-style handbag.

I was passing through Kings Cross train station and had a couple of pleasant encounters. The first was a young lady who came up to me and asked if I work there (I was carrying a folder and I guess I looked quite business like). At first I thought maybe she didn't notice I'm a guy, at least until she'd already started talking to me. On reflection it was probably pretty obvious I'm a guy but what with equal opportunities employment she didn't seem at all phased about approaching me - sure she was a bit embarassed when I told her I don't work there, but I've had that happen when I'm wearing regular guy clothes and she reacted much the same.

The second encounter was near a prominent statue in the station, which features a kissing couple with the woman wearing some rather lovely heels. As I was looking to take a photo of the statue a young lady approached me to ask for directions. As she went to leave I asked her if she wouldn't mind taking a photo of me with the statue. I specifically asked her to make sure she got my heels and the statue's heels. I explained that I have some friends who don't believe I go out dressed like this so I need a photo. She said I looked fabulous which totally made my day. I thanked her and said "so do you" as she turned to leave (she had the most beautiful eyes)... and I have a cool photo.

I agree with JeffB. You look terrific. Thanks for sharing.

Today I went for a more androgynous look (no heels I'm afraid), my dark brown flat knee-high boots with black leggings and a black turtleneck top under a petrol blue loose-knit jumper. It certainly felt like I got noticed a lot less than the previous day, but the few strangers who did notice seemed less inhibited about showing it with a smile.

Congratulations. It just gets easier from here. Henri

I love the Oxords from Payless. Going to have to get a pair of those. Thanks for sharing. Henri

I drive so much in heels that the plastic cover on the floor has a hole in it and needs replacement. I drive approximately 40K miles pere year. Happy Heeling. Henri

I carry luggage and bags when checking into Hotel. Alway in 4.5" or higher pumps. No problems. Practice improves the ability to perform regular tasks in heels. Henri

I always wear hosery. Either Thigh High Stockings or Pantihose. I have not worn socks in over 12 years. Even when wearing male type shoes; I wear hosery. Henri

HI NH Heels, Welcome Back. We've all missed you. Henri (Goffstown NH)

AWESOME, Very nice thanks for the pics. Henri

Jeff Congrats on the new purchases. I agree they will look good with jeans but better with a skirt. Wish I could see the sandals. Henri

I finally pulled together the courage to do pumps with shorts. It started with dinner, traversed to a nearby club, to cabbing on Houston, to the meat packing district.

I'll have to do this again to see if it's really "me" because admittedly, it's stretching my boundaries more than I'm used to doing. In other words, pumps with shorts attracts ALOT more attention than pumps with pants, which isn't an issue for me to wear anymore. I want to carefully weigh the risks vs. rewards and almost want to consult a publicity expert on the matter to see how it might potentially affect my career trajectory.

For more stories, be sure to go to The hhplace 10th Anniversary World Heel Meet in London, where I can share all sorts of details.

I have worn heels with shorts. Last week I arrived at the hotel I normally stay in Shorts and heels. Stayed dressed that way thru dinner and at the lounge till 1030 PM. I had a lady asked where I bought my shoes and I told her "ALDO". That was the only comment from mid-afternoon.

I think that if you are comfortable - Go for it. I enjoy it.

Henri.

Thanks for the Welcome. It is nice to be back. Henri

Good Afternoon All, After the change in the Website; I could not sign back on. Try as I might, it just would not work. Part of that maybe due to my account at Yahoo got comprimised and I had to stop using it. I still need to set up my profile and will do so soon. Anyway, I am back and it feels nice to finally be able to sign on. Henri
