Interesting.

Hmmm, just found this: http://www.femalefirst.co.uk/board/about12380-0-asc-195.html

... and the link to the story, or website, is... ?

Can someone please fix the thread stretch?

URL in this format: this short link text here will do it.

Fantastic! I want! (but can't afford)

Get well soon !!

A bloody shame that no backups were kept. I came back to the forum after 5 weeks away to find it offline. When it came back online many thousands of posts had been lost and hundreds of new members ceased to exist. All my PMs were gone too. I really hope someone is backing things up regularly now. This site runs on its content. The content is priceless. Leaving it vulnerable to deletion seems insane.

She does have some pages with ballet boot pictures. I am having trouble finding them again, though.

How did it go? I wanted to get to that, and I was in London last week and this week, but had to be back home at the Weekend. Darn.

What happened to the backups that the site owners were taking (I don't mean the ISP, I mean the forum Admins)?

After "the virus" and "the hack" and "the random corruption" problems earlier in the year, I really believed that someone would be taking a daily or weekly backup in case of further problems.... You didn't? I am speechless......

The red-sole court shoes that Gwen wears are by Christian Louboutin. They have pointy-toe, with slim set-back 5 inch heel. They are a 2004 model. I don't know the model/style name. The 2005 version has a rounded toe, the same heel, and is available with either a 4 or 5 inch heel. The model name is "Clichy" and they cost USD ~495.

There's an "ugly shoe" thread over at thefashiospot.com in the shoes, shoes, shoes forum.

Worth a look too.

In one post he hinted that he wears that sort of stuff at work, and that work was maybe something in the fashion industry, and that he interacts with "customers". Could mean a shop or boutique? Another post mentioned going to a party in that attire.

Did you scroll right down to the very bottom of the target page? There is a big empty box at the top of the page, then an advert, then the image you want is below that. Had me fooled for a while too.

I looked into a branch of Faith soon after Christmas, or early in the New Year. There were about 5 or 6 customers in the store as I went in, and a couple more followed me in. I had hoped to try a few things, and was hoping it would stay quiet. I looked round and another group were already coming in the door. I looked at one rack then realised that the shop was more crowded. Within another 3 minutes there were forty-bloody-eight people in the shop, and it was nose to nose. Not a hope of trying anything on in peace, in a quiet corner; so I left. Maybe another day.

One of the staff in that shop has those same boots, above, wears them to work sometimes, and looks very fine in them.

You need to chop this part off the end of the published link:

to make it work. It should be:

Nigel, If you tell the staff what you need, they can contact other stores, or get someone to look up on the computer which branch has them in stock... same for many other stores too. Saves a lot of travelling.

Another trick is to use a large mirror when taking the image. No arms length or timers required. The mirror needs to be very clean though.

Nice collection; I guess that they are all for indoor use. Those are all very high. What size do you take? Shame on the zips. I guess that a boot with only laces would be stronger, but would be much longer to put on and take off.

The original design that they are all copying is a Christian Louboutin piece from last year. Those cost a lot of money.

Copying happens all the time. The Manolo Blahnik "Stiletto Timberwolf" or "J.Lo" boots were copied to death by Steve Madden, Spot On, Pure, Bronx, Shoe Zone and a hundred others, at a fraction of the cost (a shop near me has them for 5 quid in their sale now).

The Manolo Blahnik clear sided court shoes with patent heel cup and patent toe cap have been copied by Faith, Bronx, and a multitude of others too. I spoke to a lady wearing those the other day, and she had the "real deal" Blahnik version on. Looked really nice, and were quite a bit higher than most of the copies are.

>> real nice, would be nicer if she went on a diet for awhile tho <<

I really don't like dissin' people in public view, but that was one of the most tactless things I have seen, anywhere, in a long time. Just what were you smokin' at the time?

If you haven't got something nice to say, then please STFU.

Was it you, or someone else, that told Ellen-Jay that she had fat ankles a few months back. That was tactless too.

Nice shoes; I see that some buyers find them a little high from that maker; see the reviews at http://www.zappos.com/n/p/p/7130085.html for example (scroll down).

Excuse my ignorance but that is a film, a website, or what?
