Maybe even 4" dead! Don't forget we have crossed posts about OTHER people exaggerating heel heights in their sightings and postings (it's so easy to indulge in wishful thinking!). Also, I'm addressing none other than the highly respected moderator who has proudly claimed on these forums to be able to judge all heel heights accurately up to 50 paces! Remember, in your defence, you can always tell me that the height:length ratio depends on her foot size which we don't know! And anyway, at the end of the day, what's a 1/4" between friends! Only pulling your leg of course, but you tease so very nicely! Cheerfully yours, Heelfan

A big 'Hello Maja' from Heelfan! Are you going to join us again and plunge back into this little chat? Can you tell us a little about yourself and your heel interests? Cheerfully yours, Heelfan

Those types can't be TRUE heel enthusiasts like us, that's all I can say! Cheerfully yours, Heelfan

Hi Bun! You can come and pose for me (in 6" stiletto courts) ANY day! Look forward to your postings! As said above, great to have another keen LADY member! Cheerfully yours, Heelfan

I think we should take this opportunity to thank Firefox, Jeff and all their great and hard-working colleagues on the administration and moderation of Megaforums for all their SPLENDID and MUCH APPRECIATED work in keeping such a wonderful forum going for all of us to indulge in! WONDERFUL JOB EVERYONE! Cheerfully yours, Heelfan

Laurie - I hope you lurk around enough to read all of these FOND postings of ours! In my case, I wrote you an "Au revoir" (rather than a farewell) eulogy on Jenny's Forum, but I would just like to add that since then I've discovered (for the first time) on the "Fetish" Megaforum your fascination 50 or so "Training Diaries" and your ten or so "Diaries". You've worked SO HARD to keep us all posted on everything, and doing an excellent moderator's job for us. You're a real GEM, and when you have recharged your batteries and perked-up, at the very least please make occasional contact and assure us that you're OK. OK? Cheers (but I hope not Farewell), Heelfan

Hi JayZee! Let me be the first to welcome you on to this incredible and multi-faceted high heel site - Megaforums! I hope you have many happy postings and also enjoy many happy readings of other people's postings! Just one thing - if you read ALL of the various previous postings very thoroughly (countless hours of blissful reading!), you will find other guys have recounted very similar experiences to your own. Their experiences might suggest that could be a bit too drastic (and maybe greedy) of you to plunge your girlfriend straight from 2" into 5" heels (or even into 4 1/2" heels and expect her to go straight outside in them). If she is willing and able, then fine, but if not, it might be a kinder to start with some intermediate heels of around 3 to 3 1/2" (7.5 to 8 cm) and work upwards from there. Good luck to you both! Cheerfully yours, Heelfan.

Hello All! I've just edited my above posting of 1st August by adding the domain name of yet another Street-Heel picture site to the bottom of my list, making a new total of seven streetheel sites in all! Not bad huh? Happy viewing! Cheerfully yours, Heelfan

Hello Mazun, For ALL of the heel-difficulties that you are seeking and much more, read LUCY'S STORY on these Megaforums under "For Everybody". Lucy, a London girl, is contributing instalments (21 so far) about her life in high heels from the stiletto boom of the late 1950s onwards. It not only deals with her own heel-wearing (including difficulties and problems), but she is so thorough that she includes many other accounts of girls wearing heels that are too high for them, slingbacks slipping under, twisted ankles, falling-over etc. in addition to the mainstream straightforward wearing of many great pairs of extremely high stiletto heels. Yes, and she even includes an instalment about being drunk in precarious heels and also about her friend Madeline being helped by a passer-by! ENJOY! Oh, and there's a separate heading "Replies for Lucy's Story" if you want to tell Lucy what you think of her high heel memoirs (I think they're FANTASTIC!). Cheerfully yours, Heelfan.

Oh I don't know dawn - maybe that is too pessimisitic and even a bit of of turn-off for keen young budding streetheelers. I was only twelve years old when I went started streetheeling in my Mother's shoes. I am now just turned 59 and it still gives me a HELL of a buzz!!! In my case the excitement has never lessened - heaven forbid that it should! Cheerfully yours, Heelfan.

This thread (Jenny's High Stiletto Heel Web-site) seems to be running in parallel with a identical thread (Problems with Jenny's High Stiletto Heel Site) just below under "Requests/Proposals". Can I suggest that further postings re these identical concerns are all posted under the latter site, which would consolidate them all on to one cohesive and more effective thread? Constructively yours, Heelfan

Well, maybe I'm the odd man out on these forums, but at least I care about knowing, if possible, each poster's gender! Let's face it, whether or not some members choose to admit it, the whole fascination or admiring or wearing high heels (or both) is driven in one way or another by the fundamental human drive of SEX in its myrids of different forms and connotations. I am fully aware (being a heelwearing guy myself) that the minds of many people can float (as you put it) between them being male and female and vice-versa. However, when I'm reading the various members' postings, to me it makes a HUGE difference to know the sex (or shall at least say the original or 'starting-out' sex of the person posting). If I am deprived of knowing this, much of the material posted loses virtually all of its interest for me. Perhaps you will understand my point better if you will allow me to take as an example your own case (seeing that you have already posted it internationally with the backup of many excellent photographs): Having enjoyed your website, your excellent stories, the abundant shots of your impressive heel collection, and pictures of your wearing them etc., a big turning-point came fro me when you started publishing full-length pictures of you fully dressed as a woman. Although not being a TV myself (except for the high heel thing!), I found those shots of you to be incredible convincing and impressive, and (I must admit) even exciting! An amazing and very convincing transformation, as I've already posted! Now, my whole point is, that I (and maybe other viewers) would probably not have found those pictures to be exciting/remarkable/interesting etc. if you had registered here as a woman from the start. I for one would probably simply have looked at the pictures as 'One of countless other pleasant women who will blend in with the crowd'. I am saying that the whole guys-in-heels, cross-dressing, freestyling thing is so closely bound up with genders and cross-genders etc. that if people omit (or are untruthful) about their original gender (even if maybe for very understandable or personal reasons), then to me, those postings (and maybe all of them if I lose trust in everyone's honesty) become meaningless and devoid of the very core that made them so fascinating, intriguing and totally addictive. I would be interested in your reaction to this point Highluc, and also in whether any other members agree with me, or whether they will feel feel that each poster's gender is quite irrelevant to the postings and maybe need never be mentioned at all. Cheerfully yours, Heelfan.

Well, thank you from a disappointed Highluc - our reporter in Belgium! We understand your woes! From the above UK reports, things seem to be going that same way here However, fashion usually follows a twenty years cycle and there were still some great heels around in the 1980s before the heel-gloom of about 1988 to 1998 descended. Therefore by my calculations, we SHOULD be able to enjoy about another five years before things again go totally pear-shaped around 2008. If that's the case, this irritating fashion for flat 'Ali Baba' shoes etc. might be one of those temporary glitches that the international shoe movers and shakers sometimes throw into the middle of a high-heel boom just to break it up a little bit. I hope this is the case, rather than me being over-optimistic. Come on world-wide members - your international reports and sightings please! Cheerfully yours, Heelfan

Yes Alex! Doggonnit! I missed-out JOAK'S GUEST GALLERY NUMBER TEN! The shame of a master heelspotter such as myself missing number 10! Will I ever live it down! A knockout collection as you say, particularly the red high ultra high stiletto mules with the very low-set toe straps. Would love to see a lass walking in those! Cheerfully yours, Heelfan

Thank you Dr. Shoe! I've just learned something further from you that is most interesting. Look forward to seeing you at at least one of the three forthcoming Heel-Meets! Cheerfully yours, Heelfan

Hello High Surprise! You've got us totally confused about your gender! On the "Let's Get To Know Each Other" you registered yourself as "Male", and suddenly in your last few postings on a couple of threads you have begun calling yourself female. Be a sport, tell us your REAL gender! It's so much nicer for us all when reading these postings to know whether the contributor is a male or a female. Whichever you are, I've enjoyed your previous postings and sightings! Cheerfully yours, Heelfan (male heel admirer and wearer)

Hello again Monkio! It's over a week since you asked our advice and some of us have been posting away to try and help you. Are you going to acknowledge our suggestions and sat whether they've been helpful? Best wishes, Cheerfully yours, Heelfan

Sorry Highluc, I hope I didn't do you a disservice by perpetrating the erroneous notion that you were a La Piazza wearer! Thinking back, I think my error arose from having associated you with La Piazza Shoes because I now seem to recall that you included a photograph of La Piazza's amazingly high, wedge mules (highly coloured pink if I remember) in one of your stories. Anyway, with apologies for the unfounded connection with you actually wearing them, I think they do a most exciting range although I haven't ordered any for myself yet. Whilst we are communicating, if you look in Megaforum's under "For Everybody" and under "Worldwide High Heels Reports", I've left a message there asking if you would be kind enough to contribute a short report to give the viewers the current state of play re high heels in Belgium. I hope you can oblige, and Iook forward to meeting you on the Paris Euro Heel-Meet! Cheerfully yours, Heelfan

Hello again Joak! Sorry I didn't particularly like your 4 latest aquisitions, but thank you for the opportunity to comment on your others: Your Gallery: 6,12,24,30,36 (all knockouts!) Guest Gallery: 15,19,45,47,58,61 (all knockouts!) Whilst posting to you now, can I please ask you: a) If you'd be kind enough to contribute a short report under my new Megaforums thread (under "For Everybody") "Worldwide Reports on High Heels" to let readers know the current high heel situation in your part of Europe? What about joining us for the Euro Heel-Meet planned for Paris in February 2004 (see Megaforums "Real Life Shopping and Fun Meetings"? Cheerfully yours, Heelfan

Hello Joak! First can I say you've got a GREAT site and many GREAT pictures on it (including the animations!). However, with all those wonderful sexy, beautiful shoes to shoes from, I'm puzzled as to why you should choose these particular shoes to post on this forum for our comments. To me, none of them are nearly as good as others on your own site: Number 1. Awkwardly conceived. I'm usually turned-on by any stilettos this high, but the heel has no flowing lines and has an unconvincing shape, as does the rest of the shoe. Numbers 2 & 3. Both look too amateurish, rustic and home-made. Nothing stunning about them whatsoever. Number 4. This La Piazza wedge would be a good option for guys' streetheeling if they didn't want an identifiable heel to give them away to much, whilst still giving a great heel-lift to the foot. However, the high-cut upper and the adjacent expanse of wedge heel add up to an over-solid mass of black leather like a 'surgical boot'. It would look much more sleek and sexy with a very low cut upper (exposing the foot down to the toe cleavage), but then this would be a lot less discreet as a street-heeling-shoe. Keep up the good work with your site! Cheerfully yours, Heelfan

Hello! Why not email Joak or Highluc? By the look of their spectacular sites and the pictures of the shoes they're wearing, they've bought half of La Piazza's entire stocks! Come to think of it, probably they wouldn't have kept going back and spending those prices if they weren't getting value-for-money, would they?. Cheerfully yours, Heelfan

- "Being fortunate enough to be a woman, I hear what you see and I am sympahetic towards you men"

Hello High Surprise! I've enjoyed all your postings (particularly re. the young Oriental girl adrift in ultra-heels in Barnet), but you've now got me totally confused! Ever since your 'Let's Get to Know Each Other!' posting where you entered yourself as 'Male', I've pictured you as such when reading your many contributions, but now I find you above posting as a woman! Have I missed some momentous event somewhere along the line?

Cheerfully yours, Heelfan
