Well done, Shockqueen! Now that you're in 5" heels, you'll probably not want to let them go, but the inevitable will happen after another 250 postings! Look at me for proof! Nearly there myself! :-)

nowt of any importance, just jeans and jumper

feels great to be going up, doesn't it?

One step in ballets, a giant leap to stop myself from falling! I can manage to stand up in my ballets now, still can't straighten my legs, but I can stand unsupported. I may try a few steps when I can stand a bit better. How is everyone else getting on with their training?

that could be arranged oops! did I really say that out loud?

Welcome to the fray

and, technically, Buxton is in Derbyshire

I'm in Macclesfield as of tuesday to friday and I'll be wearing my 4" boots as normal. If you're in the area, give me a call. 07884135072

You claim Star Trek is predictable. Well aren't all TV shows. We all know that they're going to get out of whatever scrape they got into otherwise that would be the end of the series. Different shows appeal to different people. So don't knock one just because you don't like it because someone will knock the one you like.

be different from the norm Resistance is Futile

just push your way in! most people don't want there cars dented or scratched so they'll hang back if you're not bothered about getting yours scratched.

I couldn't give a flying f*** what the media have to say on fashion issues as most of the critics who write the stuff have been paid by whatever fashion house to be nice to them. Their payment canbe cash or merchandise, either way they've been bought off and as such have no rights to print anything. Normal? Huh! Who wants to be Normal? I don't !!

Either that or send Xaphod out to look

Giddy up there, little dawgy! Great stuff, you're getting the hang of it now Look forward to seeing your next advancement!

one super power could be that she zaps ultra high heels onto the feet of her enemies stopping them from running These shoes would be irremovable except by Laurie anyone fancy getting caught in her heels? Red rotch high lace up leather 6" stiletto boots, Black PVC ultra micro skirt, Red PVC teddy with deep plunge neckline, black PVC open face hood complete with long ponytail enamating from the crown of her head and ending level with the bottom of her skirt. I like the idea, but then I'm just a perv!

Lynx Java or Apollo for body deodorant (if needed). Rapport aftershave (if going out on the razz!)

Beavis and Butthead were great for a bit of mindless fun. I never got into Dark Angel, only saw it twice and couldn't understand the plot or premise. Witchblade is as much a mystery, but I suppose I will get subjected to it at some point. Sorry if I'm not much help

Well, now that Laurie has proclaimed her position as a high heel goddess, she wants to know how we would like to view her as a super-hero! So be creative. We want details on outfit design, super powers, etc. Anything you can think of. If you have a picture in mind then post it (smutty types will be destroyed by Laurie's directed energy weapons):-)

now that I'm the owner of a small car again, it made me think back to when I owned a Skoda and all the jokes associated with them, so here goes! What's a Skoda full of groceries called? A Lada. How do you double the value of a Skoda? Fill it with petrol. How do you increase it's value further? Replace the petrol cap. What do you call a Skoda on top of a hill? A miracle. Why do Skoda's have heated rear windows? To keep your hands warm when pushing. What do you call a convertible Skoda? A skip. What do you call a convertible Skoda with twin exhausts? A wheelbarrow. What's the difference between a Skoda and a tampon? You get a free tow rope with a tampon.

if anyone has ballets related info, please post it, as it all helps! especially for those wishing to get themselves a pair!

Is anyone predicting an England - Germany match again? If so, what result? I reckon 2-1

excellent stuff, Vanessa! keep 'em coming

I wouldn't say that 7" on a long time basis is impossible, more like impractical. You can wear any height with training. Example; 2 years I couldn't stand in 5" never mind walk in them, now I can without any detriment. All you need is a little time and patience and the rewards will come. Build up slowly and you'll do well, rush it and you'll hurt yourself and I don't wish to see anyone do that. My feet are slowly adjusting to wearing higher heels (more than 5") and will eventually stretch the tendons and muscles to make them flexible enough to cope with extreme heels like ballets. My arches are also flexing further so I may be able to stand up straight in my ballets some day soon (3 months more like). In the meantime I simply stretch them a little everyday to their limits and not beyond. Doing it this way you'll gradually increase your range and flexibility. It all takes time. If it didn't there'd be no fun!

Black! Blue, a close second. Gold, bringing up the rear!

I still get the odd comments and mickey takes, a few wolf whistles from the girls and the occasional idiot, but generally no problems. Most people couldn't give a monkey's what you have on your feet, but some do get intrigued or outraged by a difference to their perceived 'norm', but that's their problem. Wear your heels with pride and sod anyone that doesn't agree!
