Actually, the posts would suggest a male fetishist. On the internet it is easy to say you're a girl when you aren't just as it's easy to say you're male when you are in fact a certified female!

Ya noticed that too, eh?

In south Florida we don't really get winter, so my choices are the same year round. Not that I always wear practical shoes in cold weather

I agree with Shafted, although, you often get what you pay for. Find the point on the price/comfort bell curve that you are happy with (depends on shoe size, mens 7? nine west/cole haan, mens 18? good luck)

good to see that every once in a while this post comes back...

by the way i am wondering if anybody has bought that sort of platform converse style wedge sneaker...i would be curious to read some feedback

Not sure if you mean the wedge Converse, or another brand but I have a pair from ASH that I love to wear everywhere. 

While I've recently been obsessed with trying Louboutin 120mm heels, but cannot afford them, I decided to go ahead and get a leather pair of Pleaser Domina 2020s. I've had the ankle boots for a while, and I can already tell I will enjoy these. Slept till 4:30am wearing them this morning

Might also help some of us are not in England, and even in America we do not get taught all of our own history. For example, I was out of school before I learned we put Japanese descended Americans into concentration camps for WW2. 

If you don't want to enlighten us, then forgive us for ignoring this thread.

Megan: I'm not quite 100yrs old yet. I may have forgotten? Not sure what you are referencing.

Saks has a pair of So Kate 100 boots $1000 off, and the fit my legs. Not sure I can pull off purple suede though.

Will update.

Let's go live blogging!

Neiman Marcus: nothing left I want on sale. Pigalle 100 red patent in 40 is way too tight in the toes, Simple 100 black leather in 40.5 fits perfect, but I suspect will become too loose after a couple wears. Moving on.

Oh well. Second trip through Saks (where I parked) I had a very large sales associate shadowing me (security?) He gave very short answers to other customers and always stayed where he could see me

Decided the purple suede is not happening, and some size 40 Jimmy Choo ankle boots are not only a half size too small, but too similar to others I have.

Might hit an outlet before going home, but I am not driving an hour to hit the Miami Louboutin Boutique. Came to my senses about spending that much right now.

Made a couple stops today, will wait till school is back in session. Ugh

Hhboots: so far I really like them. It warned up again and I can tell they will be my winter go too boots At least when I don't want the attention I get from moonboots.

Amanda: their site seems a bit stripped down for sizing, and a couple retailers are thinning out their selection so I suspect either Holliday buyers or season shift. Besides, gotta find out what size to watch for, right?

I set a goal, after I pay off the high interest credit card I will again go shopping, with cash this time and not risk 29% interest if I find shoes/boots I really love. The fifi 120 boots were more comfortable then other 5" heels I have worn, and I'd find occasions to wear them if I got them.

I wear clothes.

This and a pleasant attitude seems to go far. Just find what you want, ask for it in what you think your size might be, and if they ask if they are for a significant other just say "Actually, these are for me, can I try them on?" and I've never had an issue. Wish I'd known 20 years ago. Oh well.

After my adventure trying Louboutin's this week I decided I can't afford to put $1300 on a credit card (duh), so instead got a pair of Sorel Joan Of Arctic wedges that I can wear anywhere and in all conditions

Majo: read again, the last three pairs were at a Christian Louboutin store

I was interested in trying the 120s to see if their 5" heels are comfortable compared, and I think I got my answer with the Fifi 120 bootys. I liked them, but not $1200 liked them.

Hhboots: Neiman Marcus and the Louboutin site both have the Fifi 100s in 40.5 too. I'd like to try the 120mm (5") heels in leather

I'll follow too. Don't expect too many of my tweets to be heel related. I know very few friends into them, and they get bored of discussing em fast

Estar: Thought I'd wimp out again? 

*clears throat*

Ok, so was stuck on the East Coast of Florida (between Boca Raton and Miami) again today, and decided that I was going to finally find my size in Louboutins, and hopefully find a pair I really like, that was hopefully less then a months mortgage payment 

So, in total, I hit 5 stores, and asked for my size in 4 of them, the other didnt have what I was looking for so did not bother. I wore a button down semi casual shirt from Penguin and my lighter color Levis 511's with my Ash wedge sneakers (Converse All Stars style), so for anyone actually looking they can tell I was wearing 3.5" heels. A few customers noticed on my journey.

In Neiman Marcus Boca Raton I tried on a total of three pairs. 

The Fifi Booty 100 in size 39.5 (Too small) These are close to what I was really hoping to find. But I really wanted to try the 120mm heel.

Since that did not work, the sales lady was kind enough to point out that a few other options were available in 40 (also too small).

The Attroupee booty with some sort of leopard print between the buckles. Meh.. Saks has an all black version but none in my size.

They also had the Ditassima pump. This was close to 120mm heel but with a slight platform. Even with a rounded toe these pinched and I did not bother wearing both of them. Oh well. Not a bad design though, would be an easy option for those who step out of plain pumps.

Ok, since that store was between my last jobsite and where I was staying I cleaned myself up and made the long shot straight to the Christian Louboutin store in Miami's design district. Which I did not know about till a few days ago. 

I'd actually driven past it between jobs but did not have time to stop

Ok, so I go in and one of the sales guys is trying to convince a sales girl that the fashion awards are the gay equivalent to the superbowl. I cannot dispute this as I do not care about either. *shrug* But.. this gave me hope since if I got a cold reception I could say I'm looking for something dressy to wear when I do wedding vows with my husband. Ok, I'd like to do that, but this party will be for our parents to attend, as well as my co-workers. I'm starting to get off track..

Ok, so I poke around the store for a bit. I see a couple options, I even the Fifi booty's in both 100 and 120mm heel. The 100 is suede (ugh) and the 120 is a leopard print (UGH) Oh well. I ask if they have them in black leather. The sales guy comes out with the Ishtar Booty in 120mm in black leather, saying they are the only leather booty they have in stock. Again, a size 40. As I start to pass on them he says "You're already here, might as well try them on"

Ok. If you insist. 

Again, 40, too tight in the toes.

I then notice they have the Fifi pump in 120, but not in black. They had them in a grey leather that I cannot find a picture of. Again 40 (Grr!) again too tight. But still fun to try on

So, fine, even though I am not a fan of the leopard print, I asked if they had the fifi booty 120's in a larger size. He did have them in 40.5. Much better They were a bit snug around the ball of the foot, but he said they break in nicely. I think he could tell I liked the style since he had me walk around the store to different mirrors to check out the look under different lighting. He also asked if the 120 was too high. I figure, these will be special occasion only, not for long distances, so I figure why not make them special? hehe

Alas, no sale, and I cannot find the fifi booty 120's in black leather online in my size, or not yet. 

Oh yea, a pic. 

So, I left there, hit another Neiman Marcus for a bust, a Saks, bust, and a Nordstroms I know carries Louboutins, bust. 

Hrmf. Oh well. My credit card got really worried. I wonder if they have the Pigalle 120's in my size in Miami....

There is no justification for looting. Considering the way certain media outlets lean I can see why people get upset, on both sides. MSNBC/CNN cover the story with one slant, which gets one side aggravated, and fox news covers it with another slant, annoying the other side. 

We are being played by the media for their profit. We no longer get news, we get commentary. No one seems to give out facts without a slant anymore.

This is one reason I liked XM radio's foreign news station before elections. I suspect the Polish news service cared who had the majority in Congress or Senate

I only wore them for a couple minutes. They were at least a half size too small so my toes were squished, but I was curious how easy it was to walk in the 100s (they are fine). Will hit a Louboutin store in Miami Tuesday to see what they have

Trying on Pigalles, should have hiked my jeans up more

Fair enough. The Bootylili boots I tried in 40 were a little snug, and the Pigalle in 40 pinched my toes, but 40.5 seemed fine. I want to try round toe pumps out, and really want to see what 120s feel like. Maybe even the new 130s

Looks like I will be near their store Tuesday. Looking to try the Simple, fifi 100/120, or Decolette 868

I'm curious, there is a Louboutin store in Miami and I am considering going. How did you dress for your visit? I am thinking sorta casual, decent jeans and a nice tshirt since miami is a bit casual, but am pondering a button down shirt with cole haan booties to indicate I am looking for quality.

Found Louboutin Bootylili 100s at a Neiman Marcus Last Call yesterday. I'll admit, I didn't buy em yet, but I am heading back to try them again with tights rather then trouser socks. They were a bit too snug last night.

I keep chIckening out as far as trying Louboutin's in either Saks fifth ave or Neiman Marcus

I really want to try a pair of 120s, but if I am going to spend that much I don't want patent or really pointy toes (just my preference).

In Florida we assume someone spilled a kilo of coke ok the ground
