Every girl in the world that wants to be a member of Girls Aloud has some Aldo Atlantic Citys. I'd go for the round toe ones instead.

What a fun question!

If you can understand the words they are using, you are better than me. (I picked a video that wouldn't be deleted by the You Tube moderators).

and http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_wPGMe4eRxg. Covenant is from Sweden. You think if I tell all the Swedish girls I meet that I like Covenant, that I'll then attract into my life the Swedish Super Model I someday hope to meet?

Kneehighs my dearest. How about The Ubiquitous Mr Lovegrove? Love it so much. Reminds me of being 21 and in Berlin.

Warmest regards,

Ben

I love a Brazillian band called CSS (CSS is an acronym for Cansei de Ser Sexy which translates as 'I got tired of being sexy'). Got to love anyone that's makes a track called 'Let's Make Love and Listen to Death From Above'. Check them out on myspace.

Lots of modern electro rock like New Young Pony Club (listen to 'The Get Go') and The Sounds too.

Playgroup were the stand out electro band of the last few years especially tracks like Overflow and Number One. I liked a review of their 1st album that simply said 'Madonna, are you listening?'

Check out Discodust. lots of free tracks. Some golden ones in there. Love this remix by Fred Falke of Erlend Oye's new band called The Whitest Boy Alive

I have been spammed to death with fake 'Happy 4th of July' emails offering replica Rolex watches and Viagra. What has the world come to? Happy 4th of July to our American members! Regards, Ben

Office always makes well constructed shoes.

They are not a bad price though I prefer Aldo's 'Tabera' shoe. Aldo's colours are better and the soles look like real leather, which for an extra fiver is a bargain. And they go up to UK size 9 which maybe good for you.

Cheap shoes are a false economy. Do you think that will impress a future wife?

Hi Bubba, 9 dollars is not a fortune. Watch it and If you agree with me then sell it on ebay and you don't lose much. It's worth watching to pass the time if you are stuck on a flight or in prison. It's more of a TV (the telly not tranny) comedy/drama that's half an hour too long. Cheers, Ben

Cool. I will watch it when it goes online. She was wearing YSL Tribute sandals on Wednesday's program.

Hey Kennard. Have you got a good photo of the shoes in your Avatar? I really like the look of them... Where are they from? Regards, Ben

Was the program Wednesday or Thursday?

Can't remember if I've answered this one yet. So I'll answer here. I see myself as a man wearing clothes and shoes. I do wear female clothes when I feel like it, but never ever pretend to be anything other than a man. I feel that if you wear heels then they need to be part of an outfit that goes with them. I have not seen any photos anywhere on this forum of a man in traditional mens clothing paired with heels that didn't look ridiculous. Cheers, Ben

Shoe size conversion table linked below.

I recommend finding out your size in Euro size and then using that when getting US womens sized shoes. If not you have to go back and forth between UK to US mens and womens and it can cause a mess.

Try La Piazza. They do very similar custom made boots/shoes.

Good luck they will be super expensive.

Hi Roz,

Here's some more Louboutins.

The fetish ones are from a collaboration between Louboutin and David Lynch (Twin Peaks creator). They are all totally out there and will never be made again. I love the really exaggerated arch black patent ones.

I liked the shoe shaped montage that I found.

How about the Anemone version of the Pigalle? I like it but can see that it's very OTT.

Also found a good photo of the knotted Lady Gres you asked about.

How sweet are the Moonbows!? I love them.

If you want 500+ pages of Louboutin forum go here.

Regards,

Ben

I think the real tragedy is the state of the mainstream British Film industry. I was waiting for Billy Elliot to come dancing onto the screen and do a tap dance medley with the cast of the Full Monty and East is East. Why are all mainstream English films the same old feelgood rubbish with sub East Enders plot lines and actors? If I had paid £7 to go and see Kinky Boots at the cinema I would have felt robbed. Oh and there was not one pair of attractive heels in the whole film. I want my hour and a half back.

Ninanoora, Is it because of my vomitous outfit or the danger of death? I don't think you'd need any sort of GPS. Just look for the trail of burnt out petrol stations and run in the other direction. Judging from your avatar photo you are ready to run off anyway.

My favourites are in the 2nd pic (gwynethpaltrow02.jpg) - can anyone ID these please, I beg of you!

I'm pretty sure they are by Giuseppe Zanotti. I've looked but can't find them. Maybe they are very special order only and he will release them to us groundlings in a year or so.

The attached photo has the following caption on the Daily Mirror's website

'Gwyneth Paltrow in her seven-inch, £450 Giuseppe Zanotti killer heels.'

Cheers,

Benji

I love the gold knotted shoes (evalongoria03.jpg), if anyone can ID these in particular I would appreciate it!

Monsier Louboutin from a couple of seasons back.

Thanks! Actually, yes, those silver shoes are defo Loubies, looked at some other pics and the red soles are as clear as day. Well spotted.

Louboutin Pigalles to be exact.

Hi Shock Queen. How about the attached Chloe wedges?

Yep it really is me. With a wig on!

You can get a refund in the UK if the product is broken and you don't even need to have a receipt. I have also had full refunds on online sale shoes simply because I didn't like them.

The main thing to bear in mind is that most (all?) women would not wear those Scream heels in public. If you want to wear heels in public as a man I would say first start with the clothes to go with the shoes. If you wear clothes that lend themselves naturally to go with heels then you are off to a good start. People will notice a well dressed daring man first and your great shoes will just seem right.

u lucky b'stard! Only have about 40 prs myself and soulmate will only let me have hers when she's bored with them, same size too...

If you have the same size feet why not share shoes? I find it a bit like having your own knife and fork set each and not just using whatever is in the drawer.

Too many to count. Being a size 7 UK is a blessing and a curse because I know that any shoes I see on the high st will definitely fit me. Probably well over 100 pairs between my girlfriend and I (we both have the same size feet). There are shoes everywhere in our flat. Cheers, Ben

I have looked far worse than that. Here's a photo of me (I'm on the left) and my girlfriend dressed as matching Thai Ladyboys for a fancy dress 'Bangkokney' themed party. It was a Do for a Thai girl who loved East London and was leaving to go back home to Bangkok. Sorry about the size. It's the biggest I have as it was cropped from a montage. Cheers, Ben

I did a little digging on google and I liked one of the comments someone left on a blog type thing. It was along the lines of 'If Kanye West or Pharrell Williams wore them, they would look hot!' The shoes were designed to integrate with a specific look which should be playful and fun, with a warped nod to classic menswear. Speaking of which. Have fun. Regards, Ben

Lol, I'm really not sure whether to take that as a compliment or not.

I do like fancy dress parties though.

It was most definitely a compliment.
