Yep, I notes the same in Rush Hour II yesterday. One moment a very nice shot of a chinese girl with some nice highheeled boots (about 5") and the other moment she was doing a 'jump' from lying flat on het back to standing position on flats. Well, seems a bit difficult to me to do that in 5" heels.. But the director could try harder not to show the change of shoes in the movie.

I'd go for the camera... Or in my case (since I already have one) for some nice shoes..

I just can't imagine a man not likeing a high heeled woman..

Hi Robert, I ment the ones in Dexter's sig...

Well, here's one good thing about the Dutch team not making it to the worldcup this year. Nobody's talking about football around here these days because they don't want to be reminded to often that 'we' are not there this time, so no orange stadiums..

I think I have a similar pair in the closet. Are they from Bristol?

Terayon, what's your problem..? Some people like piercings, other like heels.. We all have our thing..

For me "Gulpener beer" is still the best. It's brewn in the most southern part of Holland (in Gulpen). This is also the part of the country where you are most likely to find it in the pubs. A Bacardi-coke once in a while is also very nice.

I noted a young girl (I guess around sixteen) the other day while driving my car through the centre of Eindhoven. She was wearing very nice tan boots with a very thin blade heel about 4,5" high (I think they where Bronx boots). Don't see that height much on young girls around here.

Hmmmm, if you take of the 600+ posts in the Word association game topic (which is cheating imho.) we only have 9400 messages left..

Read the FAQ again more carefull and see what you did wrong.

It's

:eek:

Ah, so you're a Taurus too.. (I had mine three days ago... 30 was the magic number.) Anyway, happy birthday Laurie. I wish you many years with many heels to come..

Moved to the Another pet hate topic in the Rant forum.

Posted on behalf of shyguy: We all have our own particular likes discussed here in the forum, but what about your pet hates? I hate seeing a pair of heels which are badly scuffed at the tip. And also those people lucky enough to have heels which are left discarded in a cupboard with everything else crushing them. One other is feet too big or small for the backless open toe shoes they are in. UUUGGHH

I think it al depends on the person. For some it is easy to hide things for their s/o for years and years, for other not. I couldn't do it, that's for sure.

If I ever find that special person in my life she'll have to at least accept the fact that I wear heels, like would be better ofcourse, but I'll settle for acceptance. Without mutual acceptance I see no solid base for a relationship.

I've contacted a few shoe manufacturers and the reply is generally "Thanks for your suggestion, we will pass it on to our buyers." Put yourself in a buyers postion. Will you lay your job on the line, investing in stock or incurring tooling costs for a line which you can only sell to 5-10% of the market. That's the real problem you face, one of economics.

Hmmm, I'd say that 5-10% of the market is not that bad (if it's really that much..). I think if you look at the complete picture the number for the women highheel-market is probably not so very much higher.

Some shoeshops here you actualy have to look very hard to even find some highheels (>6cm). Most women shoes are lower.

Also looking in the streets here in my surroundings I'd say about 3 out of 10 women wear somewhat higher heels (>8cm).

I think the biggest hope would be the music industry. Mostly new trends are set by popular artists. Long hair, earrings, piercings, the baggy pants and cap.. All things at first seen with artists in video's which then became more or less mainstream fashion.

Ah, another namesake on the board, and from Holland too... Be welcomed Geoffrey.

This should be #200.. Up to the sandels now, I hope I can get them before summer's over..

Nice pictures Calv.. At first I thought you where standing in a walk-in closet, but then I read the text..

There will always be us!! No matter what the fashion-guru's tell us to do..

SQ, I think that now that they are used to you being in stiletto boots/pumps and the platform sandels you showed us, you can get away with anything without people looking strange at you. I would guess they don't expect anything else from you now. You could do the test by wearing boring mens shoes again for a day, that probably gives you more reaction then the red pumps. _________________ Greetz, Jeff --- "She's going shopping, shopping for shoe-oe-oe-oes She wants them in magenta and Caribbean blue-ue-ue-ue" - Imelda, Mark Knopfler <font size=-1>[ This Message was edited by: Jeff on 2002-05-09 17:29 ]</font>

he was right wing

Is this what you call a political view? Only left and right, as in black and white, right and wrong?

We have in Holland about 20 political parties or so (if not more) and they range from ultra left to not so ultra right. We had one extreme right party in the past, butthey were never elected, thank god.. They where really racists in every sence of the word.

Now, the man who's murdered was someone who dared to express the opinions as they lived among the 'normal' people in the street. Opinions that where until now 'politicaly incorrect' to be expressed by a politician.

Was he a racists? Absolutely no. Did he say that the foreigner policy in our country s*cks? Yes, and he was right about that.

His party is actualy quite multicultural, I don't know al the people, but there are at least some black and some Islamic people in his party afaik.

One of the other things he stood for were reorganisation of our health-care system. As it is now, our government gives more and more money to the health-care organisation while the list of people waiting for care still gets longer, the upper management richer and the nurses m/f have to work way to hard because there are not enough of them.

Last thing I'd like to mention is that he also noted that safety in the streets in our country is getting worse and worse. Boy, was he right....

Jeff.

Terayon, you are so wrong! He was not at all an extreme right wing politician.. The media and the left wing politicians liked putting him in that corner though. Problably the reason why someone freaked out and shot him tonight. _________________ Greetz, Jeff --- "She's going shopping, shopping for shoe-oe-oe-oes She wants them in magenta and Caribbean blue-ue-ue-ue" - Imelda, Mark Knopfler <font size=-1>[ This Message was edited by: Jeff on 2002-05-06 21:58 ]</font>

Today the right wing Dutch politician Pim Fortuyn - according to the latest polls not unlikely to be our next prime minister - was murdered. I'm so shocked... What is the world coming to... Jeff.
