Hi,

Thought that the following website might be of interest:

There was a woman who worked as a dinnerlady at the secondary school that I attended. After parking her car she would change out of the shoes that she had worn whilst driving and put on a pair of black court shoes with heels that were possibly somewhere between 5 and 6 inches in height. She then walked the short distance to the school kitchen. She certainly gave me something to look at whilst waiting for morning asembly. Leo

Thank you, Leo

The following article - 'Raphael Young: Try walking in his shoes' - can be found in today's Independent newspaper, Monday 25 April 2011. Leo

The "housewife pin-up" - as could be seen in John Willie's 'Bizarre', for example. Leo

Am I alone in thinking that ballet heels - both shoes and boots - look absolutely awful? Leo

Thought you might be having a April fool wind up, I see it did exsist but never watched it. I remember when ITV came on air we had a large box that sat on top of the telly and you had to throw switches turn knobs so you could watch it, some form of frequency changer as I now know. 405 black and white of course.

No April Fools' joke. If you can, I would say that it's worth watching.

Sorry never heard of it and I have been watching telly since the late 1950's. Maybe a little more info might help, rough year itv, bbc etc. I don't know of anybody who can remember four feather falls or torchy the battery boy, and loads of others.

It was on the BBC in the mid '80s. I think the programme was parodying the "naughty" seaside postcards of the past.

In my opinion, good film to watch in order to see 1950s' fashion is 'Genevieve'.

How about the fashions of the 1930s?

Do any of the British members of this website remember a programme that was on the TV called 'Kisses On The Bottom'?

I once had an argument with an old flatmate about pornography after finding loads of his dodgy 'women vomiting salamis' stuff on my Mac.

I told him he had no taste and in my view porn should be hand drawn and from the 1940s 50s.

In my opinion, I think that there are also many well taken photographs in Bizarre.

I have an Eric Stanton drawing as a tattoo on my right arm :-)

I like the work of John Willie, but not quite that much.

I think that heels of between 5 and 6 inches looks nice on a pair of Oxfords; but, that said, I am expecting someone else to do the wearing of them.

I once briefly watched part of an Italian film - I think that it was from the 1970s. In the film a women stands up from a table she is sat at before then walking towards a car which she gets into. She is wearing a pair of high-heeled platform mules that I would guess had heels which were six inchs in height. The heels were thick and were either French or completely non-tapered in style. They were made possibly of either cork or wood. I was pleasantly surprised to see such shoes when not expecting to do so.

I am a fan and of those others mentioned too.

Though it is all more a fetish direction, right.

I guess so, but nothing too extreme.

No point to make; but yes, I think that the high-heeled leather Oxfords as seen in those photos from the 1950s were very nice.

Does anyone here at High Heel Place like the leather Oxford shoes as seen in photos from the 1950s?

I don't seem, as yet, to have any friends here at High Heel Place. Would anybody be willing to volunteer? Leo

No, unfortunately.

I can't speak for New Zealand, but there's definitely me here in the UK. Leo
