Wow, thanks for the information. I take a EUR 39.5, though size 40 is also OK from most manufacturers. Those are superb. Hmm, 11cm heel. It looks slightly higher then that.

... and then there was the famous advert, for car tyres I think it was, using a well known athlete who they somehow persuaded to stand as if for the start of a race, in starter blocks, on a racetrack, but whilst wearing bright red stiletto court shoes with 5 inch heels.

They used something like: Power is nothing without control as the text of the advert.

Does anybody know how depilation cremes work, and how lasting the effects are?

It dissolves the root of the hair making it fall out.

Spread the cream evenly, don't rub it in though. Leave it for a few minutes to do its work. Instructions are on the packet. Don't let the cream dry out on you. Don't get water on the skin while cream is working as the cream becomes inneffective. Test a small patch using the little plastic thing they give you to remove the hair to see if the time is up. Do NOT scrape at it, you will get a rash or worse. Gently use the plastic thing to remove all the hair, using water from the shower as well if you want to.

The effect lasts for many weeks.

The local Woolworths had a HUGE yellow banner with something like:

CD's, DVD's and videos

printed in half-metre high letters on it, hanging up outside.

I just had to go in and ask why they hadn't put an apostraphe on videos, 'cus then they could have had all three wrong.

>> Anyone ever seen any boots like these before? <<

I saw a pair quite like that in Faith in the UK, back in January. They were black, UK size 7, with a heel at least 4 inches high (though I think the toe was closed, not a sandal), and reduced from about GBP 85 to about GBP 40. I'm still kicking myself for not getting them. I went back a few days later and the sale had finished; and more to the point, all of the stock had been sent back to the warehouse. I wonder if they might reappear somewhere in the Summer sale in the next few weeks.

Don't forget they also have a lot of shops around the UK; well worth a visit,

Another wonderful installment. The mowing shoes are definately non-flattering though!! What a hectic life you lead. Thanks for sharing a bit if it with everyone though.

Nice heels, and well over 6 inches by the look of it.

The image in the very first post didn't come out, perhaps you could edit it again to get it in.

Images are easy to do. You need only do this:

The img tags go directly around the URL of the image.

Remove the * when you do it; this will make it work.

Wow! Black leather skirt, fishnet stockings, and spiky 7inch stiletto heel court shoes. Not an outfit for a long walk. Just right for lounging around in.

Shaving is too fiddly, a tube of Immac works wonders in just over ten minutes, and is best done just before having a shower.

I liked the jeans fabric stiletto mules a lot, but those white stiletto boots are just fantastic.

They look really high, and size 41 is just great. Superb.

I've also looked at the www.luichiny.es site before and they have some great stuff too.

Those are Superb mules with the stiletto heels. Very nice with jeans. Where did you get those, and at what sort of cost? What brand are they? Don't forget to add heel height and other useful information.

>> but it's generally the odd wife or girlfriend to be honest <<

You're gonna get another handbagging for calling the wife odd again.

Superb boots again. I prefer the vixen ones, if you were asking. Too much choice, not that I'm complaining.

I know of just the handbag for that, but finding an image on the web took some time:

<still looking>

I got distracted by false leads to:

Wow, when I said just an hour ago that I was really looking forward to the next instalment I didn't realise just how soon my wish would be fulfilled. Nice write up. Glad you had fun.

Superb pictures (as always) and a great write up of your day out and night in. It is hard work in heels that high, but I thinkyou can already see progress in just a few short days. Give it a month or two and it will probably seem quite easy. Looking forward to more instalments.

>> those heels are indeed 6 inches, and i'm an european size 37.5 <<

I find 6 inch heels difficult enough in Eur size 39.5 (UK size 6.5) but that is amazing in your size.

See also this other thread.

I observed the Beeb filming for a Science programme last year. They worked for nearly 7 hours getting over 5 hours of stuff on tape -- then edited it down to less than 4 minutes. Hmm.

Wow! Fantastic pix. I guess those stiletto heels are more for inside wear, than outside. Those heels look at least 6 inches, unless you have smaller feet than average. What size are you, and where did you get those shoes?

Maybe we all are living in a viritual word and we all are an illusion.

I'm still looking for the cracks in the Matrix. They're here somewhere.

That TLSB link http://www.thelittleshoebox.com/ just takes you to an announcement.

If you want the shop part of the site, you'll need instead: http://www.thelittleshoebox.com/frameset.htm Their site navigation has been messed up for nearly a year now.

I believe that (some of) the ArchEnemys shoes come from Leatherworks London, who have a shop about a mile from TLSB, also very near Islington.

Nice selection there. I like the J-Lo boots to have a slightly higher heel. Who made yours? I have seen them with heels from 3 to 5 inches in various places now.

Are those platform boots by Raid by any chance?

Wow! That is a tad extreme.

Oh no! Disaster. I can't believe you wrecked the heel. What a real shame. They were really nice. How did that happen?
