I'd rather ban the following:

1. Any further reference to Pleaser's repellant fire hazard offerings.

2. Any more photos of blokes in baggy tee shirts, jeans and heels partnered with 'What do you think of my new look?'

3. Any form of footwear with zips.

4. Inane jokes typed by inebriated interior designers at 1am.

5. Pointless polls.

6. Hairy legs.

7. Any reference to shoes costing less than £50. Unless they are truly exceptional or 2nd hand.

Regards,

Ben

Kneehighs in Clichys, Do it. You know you wanna. Thanks, Ben

I worked for someone that owned a few islands in SL and got paid in real money to design clothes, makeup and architecture. I wouldn't have been there otherwise. Second Life is inhabited with real people and you can have meaningful conversations with them. I just found it a little shocking that grown men play the Sims, which is aimed at children, and use it to make unrealistic pneumatic lesbians in porn actress clothes. If you find it strange that I find that strange then I will keep out of this thread. As you were. Thanks, Ben

I think you lot need to go outside more often. There's a whole world of real people out there.

Or maybe that's the problem.

If you really want to have an online experience then you must check out Second Life.

I actually worked within SL, designing buildings, faces/makeup and clothes and it's quite fun. I guess that you lot would cream yourselves over it.

Cheers,

Ben

There's nothing wrong with the height of the heels. I was only commenting on the styles of the shoes. What does your wife think is so suitable about any of the shoes you posted? Thanks, Ben

What's with the revolvers in the bottom corner?

Hi Sarah Lou.

If you'd do anything for the dark red pumps then I'd settle for... A gravel prepared Audi Quattro Sport S1 or Lancia Stratos rally car and a private forest track in East Sussex near to my flat.

Oh go on then I'll tell you where they are from.

6 inch Heels Forever (link) Scroll halfway down the page.

The style is called P16SA and they are only $150.

I have heard horror stories regarding delivery times and customer service.

If you really would do anything for them then now you have no excuse.

Best wishes,

Ben

I must have misread the original post. I'm sure it said shoes of your dreams! Most of the shoes posted are from the internet's typical mass market shoe merchants or the high street. Hardly the stuff of dreams. Attached are my dream style of shoes that are unobtainable today. If someone would make this style again then they would probably make a killing.

None of them are anything special. But if your wife approves then that's special.

Love Angel Music Baby. Very Gwen. Unlike Paris I get the feeling that Gwen actually cares about the shoes she sells. She even wears them herself.

Now you need the trousers to go with them Scot. Good on you for buying some decent heels. Cheers, Ben

In no particular order of loveliness. Thanks, Ben p.s. They were the best I could scavenge from my hard drive in 5 mins.

Serves her right for buying cheap heels from Dolcis!

I think the Asda at the Marina is pretty grim. It's a battle ground for yachting snobs and working class heroes. I do like to think that there must be thousands of posh women around the world that bought clothes from Asda and then tell their friends that they bought them in England from a lovely little boutique. Working class women probably wear heels more often than middleclass women. I blame all the celebs in magazines/papers that are aimed at robbing poor people of their dignity and cash. As an example: how many posh mums do you see wearing stilettos pushing baby buggies? Please show me a pair of shoes from New Look that actually look nice. I went to the new spangly Brighton New Look and scoured the shop from top to bottom. There wasn't one item in the whole shop that didn't look cheap and nasty, I will never go in there again. I don't get why anyone would shop in New Look/Primark/MarkOne/Peacocks when H&M is there on most high streets. The only things my girlfriend buys from cheap shops is the occasional brightly coloured boob tube to wear as a skirt on a heavy night out as they are around £5 for three.

I just had a quick look at her line of heels. I think they are all pretty nasty and cheap looking. I'd maybe have a pair of the wedge ankle straps if I was given them for free (but in another colour, why only silver or gold?), but the rest are way overpriced. And her logo is horrible.

I love this quote taken from her myspace page:

I personally chose the styling, design, materials and colors for the line.

Wow she must need a lie down after all that work!

Why can't she just be happy being a stupid billionaire air head with a dog in her handbag?

Cheers,

Ben

Congratuations Johnie! It's great having someone to share with. Warmest regards, Ben

Can this not be moved to the fetish section? I expected to read something of general interest to men, not about wading about the water in thigh highs.

Argh, I was gonna guess they were Jimmy Choos because they look similar to a pair I've got, but I didn't want to guess and embarrass myself, lol. Thanks

I can't believe how steep her feet are considering they're only 4.5" heels.

She's only 5'2" so that explains why her shoes seem high for 4.5" heels.

If you want to move into another job I would advise that you go to an area with a laid back attitude and hit town wearing heels. Go to all your job interviews wearing heels and eventually you will find somewhere that is cool with it. How about alternative clothing shops and cafes somewhere like SanFrancisco? Go and check them out before you decide what to do. You'll be happier in the long run if you make the jump with both feet. Regards, Ben

But to wear them onstage and perform a concert, you've got to respect that!

My girlfriend (and millions of other women) often wears higher heels all day, running about at work and scurrying up to London and back.

I have worn much higher heels for close to 24 hours before.

Regards,

Ben

Day two, and no celebrities spotted in great heels today, so today I've raided the archive!

4th July 2008

Stacey 'Fergie' Ferguson in red high heeled sandals

Pictures from the Sex and the City premiere on 27th July 2008, Fergie is spotted wearing red high heeled sandals - can anyone ID these shoes? One full length portrait, and the others are closeups.

Jimmy Choo Ode sandals. Available on sale here.

Ben

All she does is look like mutton dressed as lamb and sing her own misguided praises. And don't get me started on her frightful hair.

They are badly copied knockoffs by Steve Madden, the king of all things sly. Isn't he in prison anyway? The originals by Balenciaga were nasty enough. Surely you can find some nicer heels to start your new addiction.

Cheap, wrong shoes.

From the little I have seen of her I can only come to the conclusion that she is truly repellent. A classic case of a vacuous brain saying nothing very loudly. I'd love to lock her in a room with Germaine Greer for two weeks.
