I believe you may have to sign in, but you'll be pleased.

even after signing in, it tells me i don't have permission!

my wife absolutely LOVES her ped-egg. easy to use, and very effective.

if clothing from the 70s is vintage, then what does that make an active crossdresser from the late 50s? dead? jeez!

well of course we're gay.

as a matter of fact, the moment i tried on a pair of women's shoes i noticed that i could no longer STAND women (let alone have sex with them).

my rectum developed a yearning itch for something to fill it, and women's curves turned me off immediately, like a "stop" sign to an indy driver.

this was a serious problem for my wives, whom i had not even met yet. and my parents were very confused by the sudden transformation from an obvious alpha-type male to the simpering pansy i had become right before their eyes.

you see, my first pair of heels was for a halloween costume as a teenager. my mother had suggested them as the finishing touch for going as a hooker, and when i suddenly became gay right in front of their eyes my parents were very shocked. then they realized that they had put women's shoes on me, and my sudden homosexuality was understandable. they had done this to me!

my many girlfriends and my 2 subsequent marriages were all just camoflage, and my children were obviously fathered by somebody else who could stand the touch of a woman.

thank god for those heels! otherwise i might never have known the joy of homosexuality, and stayed a boring hetero guy.

SQ... i whole-heartedly agree, but i have to admit that i've stopped wearing acrylic nails. my reasons all boil down to the fact that you can't remove them if the situation demands. i can wash off cosmetics, remove clothing, etc... but acrylics are pretty permanent. i miss them, and my natural nails won't keep nail polish on for more than a couple of days before it starts chipping/peeling. definitely NOT a perfect world:mecry:

Had something similar happen to me. I don't usually buy shoes, but these looked like they were streetwear as they have a completely covered toe area.

Maybe next time ....

GODDAMN! those are beautiful!

sorry, jarl. i can't find these ANYWHERE else. even on torrid/hot topic's site (the stores that carry tripp brand). i've found similar styles, but not these.

once again: GO EBAY! GO EBAY!

thanks for the kudos, guys! i'm really psyched about these. they are the first real pumps i've found interesting enough to buy!

hope i've done this right here's a pair of shoes JUST purchased on ebay. looking forward to wearing to work

that skirt and reasonable price...

i think you may be looking in the wrong universe.

of course, it does matter what you think is a reasonable price! i think you'd be very lucky to find it under $300 in a decent quality.

i'm not sure what the intended purpose would be, but i think an open channel like that would seriously compromise the strength of the shoe.

i'm hoping somebody here will have some input for me.

my wife & i are spending our 20th anniversary in florida from the 17th to the 23rd of august, partly in orlando and partly in/by the keys.

we're doing this on a fairly shoestring budget, and i was hoping some of our members would have ideas of cheap but decent lodgings in the area (yeah, i know, cheap in the keys?), and interesting places to visit that aren't part of the usual tourist havens.

she's never been to florida, and i've only been there on business trips that didn't allow for much sight-seeing.

thanks for any ideas and info guys!

neh, i pluck. tried waxing a few times. they accomplished the same thing i did, and i didn't have to tip myself. plus, i feel more in control.

i've had damage to a pair of boots that was unrepairable, but otherwise i have to say no. i usually get tired of a particular style/pair or just decide to discard to make more room.

ja! just imagine creating your own color scheme for your heels. great individuality!

i think they look cool, in a retro sci-fi kind of way. if they were comfortable, i'd own a pair

yeah... todays thigh-high boots all seem to look like something for strippers & hookers. (not that i have anything AGAINST strippers & hookers, mind you ) and they all look ALIKE! like all those suburban tract houses built in the '50s & '60s. those thigh highs in your link would gather positive attention in any crowd (cloistered nuns not included). again, BRING ON THE HEDGE-HOG!

i'd have sex with a hedge-hog for those black ones! wow!

all my skirts are earth-tones, and the overwhelming majority are black or dark grey. i have OFTEN been referred to as "the man in black". for a johny cash fan, this is a wonderful compliment.

yesyesyes WHERE? too cool, congrats on finding them!

now before you call me crazy, i HAVE seen an ad for these. unfortunately, it was a fairly old ('70s-'80s) oriental ad, possibly japanese. they were advertising stockings with individual toes (like toe socks). sheer, fleshtones hosiery with little pockets for the individual toes to fit into. has anybody any clue to where these could be found? a brand name, a website, anything? thanks for any info!

How far could a man go in feminising himself (plucking eye-brows - clean shaven - manicure - spray tan) before the looking good "wow", would turn into something ghastly?

For example; adding ......

False eye-lashes?

Lots of bright eye-shadow?

Skirt?

Heels?

I think the query was to find out what feminine attributes a man might get away with, and you still find him attractive?

Where is your line on good/bad taste or style?

<end of portion pertaining to my comments>

....

this question is one i think only answerable by either hetero women or gay men.

i know that i am my own worst enemy & critic when it comes to my clothes, especially my shoes.

good lookin' shoes! i'd wear the black, with the right skirt.

sounds interesting, SQ! i got mine filled on thursday. had lost 2 due to hands in water too much, so tina (my tech) had to replace them. got them done in my usual "under the radar" american manicure, short square cut. then she drops the bombshell on me: she's leaving my area to open her own shop! AAAAARRRGGH!!!!! i might POSSIBLY be able to go to her new shop, but it would be during my work week. this would mean she would see me dressed as i do for work, which is a bit less... masculine than when i go for my nail work. i wear skirts heels and make-up to work, and she's NEVER seen me like that! even though i'm getting my nails done, i'm always dressed in pants and the rest of "male drab". this is gonna take some thinking...

I HAVE A NEW TOPIC!

it's here somewhere <i swear i put it in this bag>...

here we go:

DEAD LESBIAN BIKER NUNS FROM HELL, IN DRAG, AND THE MIDGET WRESTLERS WHO LOVE THEM!

<or is that something i saw on "springer". now why can't i find my license?!?>

anyway, THAT'S my $.02 worth!

<hope that's what they needed.>
