WildPair88

Hiya, thanks all for the greetings. Gotta admit, it's the first I've ever held even somewhat of a conversation about this aspect of my life with others. Took only what, 20 or so years? It's something I've struggled with for awhile but I've come to accept, I just go with the flow now. As to Wild Pair, you know the funny thing is I've never owned a pair, yet. There's a pair of boots they made in the 80's that I really want, that I got outbid on TWICE on eBay by just a few bucks, in my size too. Next time... Thanks again for all the replies, and I apologize for not replying sooner. I've been working a lot of overtime trying to get some bills paid down. I'll be posting more often I hope.

Hiya: just thought I'd introduce myself, I'm a 27-year old dood from Pittsburgh (actually closer to Greensburg in Westmoreland County), AKA Steeler country. I'm a die-hard football fan (gridiron, for those outside the states), love to draw, write, hang out with my buds, camp, drink, work on my computer, and of course shoes. My case is a little peculiar because I'm really only into vintage shoes from the 80's era, like 9 West, Jazz, Sam & Libby, numerous off-beat brands, Wild Pair, etc etc, hence my username. I like heels but also I like flats a lot,.... but heels and boots get the extra nudge. My affection towards shoes started as early as 7 - 9 years old. My memory is a little hazy about actually how it started, but I do remember that my babysitter at the time used to give me her shoes to play with. My mom eventually fired her, though (different reason). Growing up I had a lot of free time, alone, after school since my mom was usually working two jobs to support my brother and I. When I wasn't out playing with my friends,.... yeah, you know where this is going. I still blame my babysitter though. Anyway, just thought I'd say hi, I don't know how often I'll post since I only have weekends and the ossacional late night to post (RL always gets in the way), but I'm sure I'll join in some conversations now and then Thanks all! - WildPair88
