Hi Xa..

I still like those boots! very nice indeed. Don't own a pair of thigh highs yet and that's a shame. Never seen any for sale down here, at least not ones made of leather.

Thanks for showing us what a "machine that digs up spuds" looks like Fellas...I feel most enlightened. (it's something only the Poms could love)

Glad to see you've sorted the gearbox troubles and have your truck back on the road Xa.That would have been quite a job. Those things are so damn heavy....and awkward to boot. Btw what kind of donk are you running in your 4x4 ?...is she diesel or petrol?

I sold off my Nissan Safari 4.2 Turbo Diesel last year and bought into a Mitzi Double Cab V6.Although the V6 costs an arm and a leg to fill, the extra response from the gas engine sure is nice to have. Tows my double horse float (2.5 ton loaded) as if it were empty.

You mentioned a desire to buy a Ferrit, lol….if you get one you could team up will a Cocky (farmer) down south whose wife bought him a Centurian tank for his birthday. He gets afew buddies around on week-ends to help man the thing and they blast about the local farms and forest tracks in it. Heres a link http://www.ross.org.nz/Tank.htm

Hmmmm…you know, there could be something in the water down there Xapod.There is also a bloke not far from him who has built a full size Trebuchet and flings bundles of burning hay bales and other interesting stuff ( like dead cows) all round his farm.A local TV station picked up on him and showed a clip of this fearsome monster hurling a RollsRoyce a hundred & fifty meters or so down range.

Talk about big boys toys!!

When I was in my teen's I used all sorts of excuses, but when ever I did, I never felt comfortable about it. Judging by the reactions I received from the sales girls, neither did they. The clerks always saw through the story and treated me accordingly. They didn't believe the shoes were for "my sister” or the "Halloween party" nor the other excuses I used on them. Nobody enjoys being lied to and I was usually treated with distain. By the time I was 20 my confidence and self worth were rising dramatically as I pushed boundaries and tested limits in other areas of my life. I quickly realized I had nothing to fear from being honest in regard to "who I was" or for that matter, my unusual choice in shoes…. and neither should you. It has been said here by other experienced street heelers, that we have nothing to fear but fear itself. It’s an old adage but it sure is true. May I suggest, when next you walk into a shoe store and find a pair of heels that takes your fancy, ask one of the sales girls for help. No excuses will be necessary, just tell her they are for you and she will I'm sure, be more than happy to help. I bet she will do it with a twinkle in her eye and a smile on her lips and if her service to you is as professional and courteous as I have experienced here, tell her so and thank her for it. I guarantee she will remember you next time…and for all the right reasons. Goodluck jim

oooops! You are right Dr Shoe,my apologies for the exclusion jim

Thanks for sharing a very interesting pic Richie

I think Nigella has shown in that photo,a mature beauty that I believe would draw men like moths to a candle.

How can most of us not find her stance and the way she dresses provocative, but I feel she blew it with her choice in shoes....those ballet heels are just plain ugly.

I can see why you are taken with the woman Xa, her beauty is rather striking. There wouldn't be to many guys who would object to having her as a dinner date, me included. As for your photo being pornographic....well Mate,I don't think it is,not by any stretch of my imagination, but as Anne_Louise mentioned, there are definitely erotic overtones. I would much rather look at her natural, unspoilt beauty, than some photo in Time Magazine showing a 6year old girl with half her skin burnt off by white phosphorous....or for that matter, the pic that was posted here a week or so ago showing a guy with his dick in a jam jar. jim

I hope this pic shows......

I look forward to seeing the pic Xa....sounds rather "cutting edge" to me. jim

I pray Mickey recovers well my friend. Take care.. jim

Nice shoes,but those yellow stockings....aargh! (Cut the girl some slack Jim....perhaps she's colour blind.) jim

Shoot Laurie,seven inches.!! Now that must take some doing.

Thanks for sharing..

jim

btw, the fall colours in your pic are spectacular.Where I live we just don’t get that kind of autumn display. Mind you, I’m not up to my derriere in winter snow either..

I think your "Aldos" are great.I especialy like the tall boots on the far right. You've got the boots,the tie and the bag....but what trousers and shirt are you going to team them up with Xa.?? jim

There's something very special about stilettos that were made in the 50's and 60's.They had a more graceful appearance and a flowing style that is seldom seen these days. Modern manufacturers can not seem to capture the finesse and poise that is so evident in their design, nor for that matter, the "Kama" that radiates from these wonderful shoes. I really hope Anita,that you can find a maker who has incorporated all of the things that really make these shoes so amazingly special. Good luck on your quest… jim.

Love your boots Chris !! Very cool indeed jim

Hi.! I'm glad you found this forum,it's a great place, filled with great people.Just as you found the HHP,you will I'm sure, find another special Gal. (Hopefuly with a passion for shoes that will match your own.) jim
