I'm thinking of using DCC for my american HO layout. I have ideas of modelling a fictitious roundhouse with a single running line passing the site. Maybe if I use a freeway as a background I might be able to get away with not modelling any residential or Industrial buildings and just restrict it all to railroad only

just hope you can do the splits!

just changed motors from a Renault 5TR to a Ford Fiesta

you're right! they are twin heeled ! looks like the stiletto heels are side by side

:bday: :bday: :bday: :bday: party time, board YAY!!

while it's true that heel height is measured form floor to the meeting pint of heel and sole, it doesn't really give a good indication of the angle. A person wearing a size 5 shoe with a 7" heel is going to have a far greater angle (more on the toes) than a person wearing size 8 with a 7" heel. someone has to come up with a fairly good sum to work out just what that angle is or even have it regarded as a severity level. Anyone got a formula worked out?

if men adopt the wearing of 'strap on baps' then it's going to make looking for female company in a nightclub next to impossible it might work, you never now. I mean, men are always trying to get into womens underwear and quite usually have a breast fixation, well now they can have it all ways. They can wear them! I would probably only be seen with breasts if I was on hormones (unlikely), going to do a charity collection (and they want me dressed as a woman) or it's playtime in the bedroom. It may be a long time before I adopt it as everyday wear.

well, there are a few of us lucky enough to own a pair of ballets, fewer still are lucky enough to be able to stand in them let alone walk in them. I'm afraid I'm in the standing (bent legs) and manage a few steps before gravity gets the upper hand I'm a size UK7.5 and was lucky enough to purchase a used pair from Onyourtoes (thanks, mate!) There are more ballet wearers out there, so come on people. Even if you just thought about trying a pair or have tried and failed, air your thoughts! Even failure can be informative, ie learning how not to do it, etc.

Hiya Big D, glad that you found you're way here! (I'm the one who first spoke to you if you hadn't guessed by the name) Hope you enjoy it! Respect!!!

Hi to all It's great to see that we're attracting (or is that coaxing) newcomers to the board. I sincerely hope you will continue to enjoy the wonders that have drawn you here for many years Welcome!

hehe. Pretty much. You think you got it bad...try being the one behind the lens. I gotta hold that thing steady for those shots.

so do you have a mini-tripod for the 'on-the-floor' heel shots?

we ain't dreaming and we ain't in Kansas, but you are Welcome to the board !! I know you'll enjoy your time here!

Do you have to tease me like this?

cool down, Dr.Shoe ! else you'll end up frying everything in the next consignment admittedly, I wouldn't kick her out of my house (or bed) so maybe I'll need to go sit in the freezer for a while

Nicely styled! And it's true! Nobody has said it better!

1. Lose weight 2. Get waist back down to under 30" (currently 35") 3. Learn to stand and walk in my ballets (or a pair, at least!) 4. Spend more time on my railways (I haven't touched my layouts for 7 months and one's due for exhibition in April !) !!eek!! 5. Get the car serviced and the cat to the vet's Anyway, a great and prosperous New Year to All !!

If Barratts sold ballet boots, I'd never be out of their shop. Come to think of it, neither would Dr.Shoe

Just go in, be yourself and don't be embarrassed toadmit to the sales people that they are for you. Failing that, just use the old line line of "I lost the bet" Have fun. You only hurt yourself by denying the truth!

Well done! I hope you managed to dispel a few of your own own myths with your outing ps. love the boots!

Where's the back seat for the women? oops! another secret out!
