My view,stay with what you have.Your current avitar looks good.

Maybe the problem is that I have become the reality, and what people really want is the fantasy. the illusion. The hint that it could be so it can fire their dreams.

I think you are right Laurie,I bet some do want a "mystery girl", but that’s just too bad for them..

I've read most of your posts going back a number of years now and feel you have given me a small glimpse of who you are. Every time you post your thoughts and ideas on this forum, the mists that surround you roll back some, revealing a little more of the real person behind the avatar.

I believe it takes courage to show our inner selves Laurie, because to do so means we must lay ourselves open to a number of things, some good ( love & acceptance)and some not so good (ridicule & harassment).

By posting the way you have, you have given to all who care to receive it, a small piece of "who you are" and this is indeed a gift worth much!

Those who bleat because they want you as a high heeled fantasy or perhaps some exotic mystery women, look but don't see..

I feel these people have missed out on something rather special, but as for me, I like you just the way you are.

This is wonderful Dawn !!!

I know the feelings of elation and joy you are experiencing my friend and I am truly pleased for you both! Mickey is now back where she belongs and can get on with the job of recovering completely.I pray this happens quickly and with-out complication.

Shes home.... ...This is such good news..!!

As WH says...a very good heel shape for streetwear. Enjoy!

I agree,trying the shoes on before buying them is a prerequisite. Shopping for them is a load of fun and trying on different styles and sizes is just part of the whole experience. Besides, there is nothing worse than finding out the shoes you have just bought and paid for don't fit properly. jim

Love the slings Jeff..! Very cool indeed! Lots of style and class at very modest price. I don't own any sling backs but how can I not feel tempted by those beauties. Looking forward to seeing your pics of these when they arrive. jim Btw,what are you going to wear with them ?

Sprint!

And a wee bit of Bush Poetry to go with your Metamusal Bubba..

They were funny looking buildings, that were once a way of life,

If you couldn’t sprint the distance, then you really were in strife.

They were nailed, they were wired, but were mostly falling down,

There was one in every yard, in every house, in every town.

They were given many names, some were even funny,

But to most of us, we knew them as the outhouse or the dunny.

I’ve seen some of them all gussied up, with painted doors and all,

But it really made no difference, they were just a port of call.

Now my old man would take a bet, he’d lay an even pound,

That you wouldn’t make the dunny with them turkeys hangin’ round.

They had so many uses, these buildings out the back,

You could even hide from mother, so you wouldn’t get the strap.

That’s why we had good cricketers, or my name isn’t Crump,

We used the pathway for the wicket and the dunny door for stumps.

Now my old man would sit for hours, the smell would rot your socks,

He read the daily back to front in that good old thunderbox.

And if by chance that nature called sometime through the night,

You always sent the dog in first, for there was no flamin’ light.

And the dunny seemed to be the place where crawlies liked to hide,

But never ever showed themselves until you sat inside.

There was no such thing as Sorbent, no tissues there at all,

Just squares of well read newspaper, a hangin’ on the wall.

If you had some friendly neighbours, as neighbours sometimes are,

You could sit and chat to them, if you left the door ajar.

When suddenly you got the urge, and down the track you fled,

Then of course the magpies were there to pick you on your head.

Then the time there was a wet, the rain it never stopped,

If you had an urgent call, you ran between the drops.

The dunny man came twice a week, to these buildings out the back,

And he would leave an extra can, if you left for him a zac.

For those of you who’ve no idea what I mean by a zac,

Then your too young to have ever had, a dunny out the back.

For it seems today they call them the bathroom, or the loo,

If you’ve never had one out the back, then I feel sorry for you.

For it used to be a way of life, top race along the track,

To answer natures call, at these buildings out the back.

is that a new sitcom Bubba....?

Hi Calv.. My hairdresser has a Daihatsu Rugger 4x4 with a 2.8 turbo diesel and loves it.Not the fastest thing on four wheels but it has given her stirling service. Those 2.8's have a fine reputation for reliablity thats for sure. take care jim

If you have never listened to Cheech and Chong,heres your chance..

You could well be right Dawn...it was along time ago for sure and things were rather (very) hazy at the time.. jim Yup...you are correct Dawn....I shall make the changes and get the spelling right this time. regards jim

At this point in time I can think of only 3 words that can adequately do justice to the beautiful and wondrous photos posted in this thread. They were often spoken and made famous by the most influential orator of his time. This man did much to shape my thinking and how I saw the world in my early years....thankfully that stage has long since passed.

The fellow in question:

Cheech Marin

and the words he spoke so well......

"FAR OUT MAN !"

jim

But, so far, I've not seen anything to get overly excited about. Just shoes, legs and stockings -- can see the same on ebay.

Ouch.! you're a hard man Bubba......

Thank you for the pics Ellen-Jay they're lovely and y'all don't pay our Bubba no never mind....he's not had his coffee yet.

jim

Smooth legs,pretty feet and lovely red shoes....now that can't be bad! Thankyou for sharing Ellen-Jay jim btw,is that a Kiwi sheepskin your feet are on???

Sounds like you had a ball PJ.

fix !

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
