Here's a picture that has more of the corset showing. I was just wearing a white tee shirt under it so the oils from my skin didn't get the corset lining dirty. Nothing fancy.

This slide show was on the Fox News website. It has some interesting heels.

My view point is the same as everyone else, as soon as possible is the best. My wife has always been very supportive, but has set some rules too. Open and honest communication has always been the foundation of our relationship. I don't remember how soon it was after we started dating, but I do remember telling her earily in the relationship.

I wear white cotton socks with my boots because my feet always sweat in them. Tights are OK, but after a while, I start to slip in the boot when walking. I'm beginning to think I need a new pair of boots.

Gallux, I don't know the model or brand. I purchased it at Target in the clearance section. I no longer have the heels because the strap broke on one shoe.

Gallux, yes I have a corset on.

I'm down to five pairs of women's shoes. One pair of knee high boots, one 3-inch t-strap pump, one 5-inch platform heel, and two pairs of flats that have a 1 inch heel. The pumps and one of the flats get the most use.

I realize Christmas was a month ago, but I haven't been able to heel and dress freely at home since my mother-in-law has extended her visit with us. My wife got me a skirt and heels as a gift and I was finally able to wear it while fixing up a condo we rent out. The skirt is from the Loft, and the heels are from Aerosoles. The pictures were taken using my cell phone camera in poor lighting. The condo doesn't have many over head lights in it. Just wanted to share.

My system isn't that impressive, just under the bed without the boxes.

I was given a name, but it didn't come from heeling. Many, many moons ago I was really into crossdressing. A female friend who was into the alternative lifestyle went by the name Miss V. The one and only time I went out dressed was when she made me up. At the event, I needed a name. The first letter of my name is D, so she started saying Miss D, which then turned into Misty. Today, my wife calls me by "Your alter ego" when she wants to know if I'm interested in checking out some heels.

I agree the sound of stilettos is a great thing to hear.

Love the graph. It's like a picture, worth more than a thousand words. Don't push it with your wife. Respect her concerns. Your very lucky to have a woman who accepts so much already.

If you're just interested in seeing what life is like with longer finger nails, I would suggest trying press-on nails first. They will give you the feeling, and not cost you much. One problem I've had with press-on's is the largest nails don't always cover my natural nails. As Mlroseplant said, acrylics damage your natural nails and I've never tried the gell nails. When I first used the press-on's I couldn't do a thing. I found it so hard to pick items because I was so use to doing it with short nails. After two days with nails, I was able to do most thing with ease. If you do try press-ons, don't get your hands constantly wet, like washing dishes. The water will cause the tape to dissolve. Also, get dressed first, then put on the nails. I ruined two pairs of nylons while attempting to get dressed the first time.

I've found the people working at adult stores to be the most helpful in selecting the correct shoe size. Granted, the majority of the heels they sell are not the most comfortable, but for one of those crazy nights out, they sure do have a great selection. The best experience my wife and I had was when we both got matching black 2-inch platform heels and we had a gay sales man show us how to correctly walk in them. They both had many laughs at my expense that night.

With Christmas next week, our section had a "white elephant" game after lunch today. The gifts had to be "clean" in nature given it was done at work and there was a $20 limit. I figured since no one would know who brought what in, I wrapped three pairs of trouser socks (black, gray and brown). The first person to pick the gift was a guy and he didn't have it for long. The gift was immediately taken by the woman who's turn was next. A few turns later the socks were swiped by an other woman. Both women wear some very nice heels to work everyday. I didn't think they would be that popular.

It's been a while since I visited this site. I know this post is an old one, but I felt the need to update you, or anyone reading it, where things stand today. I've found a job with a large public agency in the LA area. It's a bit different being on the other side of the table as they say. I'm not in any management position, have lower pay than when I ran my own company, but the hours are steady and the people I work with appear to be a good group. I've only been here for three months now. The wife and I were very close to leaving the LA area and move somewhere, anywhere, but things started to turn around. I got this job, and the company and I came to an understanding. For a while there, I wasn't wearing heels at all. Now I've gotten back into wearing a few things, and with Christmas approaching, the wife has told me she has an outfit in mind for me. She even asked me to start shaving my legs again. It takes getting "knocked down" to truly appreciate how lucky I am to have her in my life. Given what occured at my company, I will not wear anything that might be questionable at the agency, ....at least for now. May everyone have a wonder Christmas this year. HH

So here we are, about four weeks since I last posted anything about what is going on in my office. First I want to say Thanks to everyone for their comments.

Now to give some back ground information which should answer some questions. The firm I worked at is an engineering firm that helps local cities augment their staffing needs. The firm was started by three of us, myself, Mike and Tom. For the record I am not using their real names. Tom was the brains of the group at the beginning. He was older than Mike and I by about 15 years, and had started a few companies before. Mike was a guy Tom knew from a previous job. I got to know Tom when I was a construction manager at a small shopping development. So the three of us pooled our money together and started off building the firm. Now Tom did not have the most healthy life. He loved his beer and smokes. After a few years of being in business together, I realized there was going to be a day when Tom would leave us. That day came, and Mike and I had to settle Toms share of the company with his wife. Since I knew this was going to happen, I had started saving any bit of money I could to buy more shares of the company. Mike and I would discuss this situation many times, but when it was time to pony up, he didn't have the resources to even purchase a quarter of Tom's shares. By this point, we had added a few more partners to the firm. I was lucky enough I had the means to purchase the majority of Tom's shares from his wife. The remaining shares were purchased by other partners. From that day forward, Mike always had a chip on his shoulder about the percentages of ownership in the firm.

So with that history we now get to what's been going on in the office. I stated earlier I didn't think the rest of the partners could gather enough money to buy me out. Well, I was wrong. It appears Mike finally learned his lesson and started saving. He and two other partners came up with the cash to buy me out. I also found out the female partner, I'll call her Tina, was fine with my heel wearing. I'm still not sure who told whom what. The secretary unfortunately left the firm. The only information I received was an email saying "Sorry". My wife stopped thinking it was her fault. She never really like Mike, and this move by him has her blood boiling. We've had many sleepless nights talking about should we take the buyout offer, and ultimately concluded taking the offer is the best thing for us right now. We don't have the resources to purchase the shares of the other partners in an attempt to maintain a majority ownership in the firm. Also, why would I want to do that when Mike and the other two are making the place a hostile environment.

So what's the silver lining in all of this? I would say the most important thing is our marriage is stronger now than before. The payout has allowed us to pay off the majority of our debt and have enough to live off of for about 10 months. Also, I'm having too much fun taking the kids to school every day. I know I will have to get back into the corporate world again soon, but just really enjoying the "now". So without getting too philosophical, I'm going to just end this post with that.

Well, the last two weeks were pure hell. Turns out the secretary told one of the female partners about my heel wearing. That partner then spread it to the other partners. So not only is the work beginning to pick up, I now have to deal with all the other partners wanting to buy me out because of my "lack of professionalism" and "introducing a lifestyle that isn't representative of the companies core values". If I could, I would fire all of them and build up a new staff, but I can't. I don't have the funds to buy enough of them out to gain complete control of the company, and I do need some of them around to keep the clients happy. The really sad thing is my wife is really depressed right now because she thinks it is all her fault. We've had many sleepless nights talking about what we would have done differently, how will we go forward, etc. Regardless of the path forward, I have told my wife it isn't her fault. I reminded her she was supportative in the past, and there is no reason she shouldn't be supportative going forward. If I was really worried about the others finding out, I wouldn't have done it. I guess the only good news out of all of this is I don't think the other partners can gather enough cash to buy me out, and if they were able, I would take several of the large accounts with me, so that would almost destroy the firm. I think they know that too. I wonder what this week will bring.

So it's been a week since I last said anything. Wish I had some great details to report, but I don't. No pictures of her friends yet, work is beginning to pick up so my mind is focused on that, not heeling, and with my leg hair returning (a subject of a different thread), I haven't worn any tights or trouser socks to the office. I'm hoping the work pace will even out a bit and give me a friday when most of the staff is out again.

I just realized I made a mistake on the brand name. They are made by Gloria Vanderbilt. I think the reason I wrote Jesica London is my wife has a pair of pants by that name.

I agree Costco got some nice jeans at a good price but I never bought a pair.

Since a (women's) jeans much fit perfectly, how can you buy a pair without trying them first ?

Costco has a great return policy. When my wife likes something they have, she will get several different sizes to try on at home and return the ones that don't fit. For us, this works because we are always there. With three growing kids, we need the larger servings.

While at Costco the other weekend, I noticed some 5 pocket female stretch jeans by Jesica London. The only thing that really gave them away was the sign. The cut was slimmer than my regular jeans, but nothing to outlandish. When I got home, my wife said they looked good, and really showed off my back side real well. I didn't notice at first, but the zipper was cut the same way as mens jeans. Just an other example of the lines disappearing between traditional mens and womens clothing.

ilikekicks, I'm hoping she is willing to share some pictures too. I don't want to push the issue since this is a work environment, but I have to wonder if she made it up in fear of losing her job. I am the most senior partner in the company with 46% ownership and when it come to employee issues, I'm usually the who has to deal with it. I'm going to give it a few more days before I bring it up again. A concern I have, however, is how to handle the other partners if she spoke to them. I guess I will just have to wait and see.

UPDATE #7 Here we are near the end of February. I reached my goal and have had a great time doing it. I spoke with my wife about the idea of me going hairless full time. She admitted she enjoyed the smooth feeling, but to her, I am more masculine with the hairly legs and chest. That is what attracted her to me, and it is what she would like me to return to. Not wanting to upset her, I agreed to let my hair grow out. I hope next winter she will be as understanding as this time. I think I need to work on the idea of being hairless over several years. This time it was from mid-November to February. This coming winter, I think I will start in October and go to April. I've always wanted to dress in drag on Halloween, which will be a wonderful reason to start shaving again.
