    Magical shoes?

    in For Everybody

    Is there actually a scientific explanation for the attraction of high heels....

    There is... sort of.

    Desmond Morris described it in one of his "Watching" books (Body Watching or People Watching or Sex Watching... whichever)

    Basically, it's the effect of the heels on the female wearers' posture.

    She is made to stand on tip-toe, with her haunches (hips, buttocks, and upper thighs) raised and her posterior pushed outwards.

    This is a female primate mating signal which basically sends out a message to males - "i'm up for it lads, if you're interested!". #

    When combined with other body language and subliminal mating signals (bare flesh, revealing or tight clothing, red lips, long hair, etc.) the poor unsuspecting male can't help but be visually attracted.

    I think the *click-click* attraction of the heel sound is a pavlovian response. We automatically turn to look because we assume we'll get to see an attractive woman making those sounds. This can obviously lead to disappointment but, as our 'strike rate' on spying an attractive woman in heels is usually pretty high, we are unlikely to stop responding to it anytime soon.

    # That's Desmonds' theory not mine, of course.

    Some might say it's a primitive, sexist, chauvanistic one but that doesn't mean it's incorrect.

    High Heels to be Banned in the UK!

    in For Everybody

    It's surely only a matter of time before media scare stories like this one guilt-trip shoe manufacturers and stores out of making/promoting/supplying and stocking high heels at all! Perhaps they will be banned as part of some insane Health 'n Safety drive.

    Every podiatrist in the land seems to be speaking out about this at the moment for some reason. I saw one on the BBC local news a few days ago.

    Is there no proper news or what? :smile:

    Stiletto Sprint- Australia

    in Your Favourite High Heel Movies

    Posted

    Bit of an unfair way to do it - a girl in front wins the race because- A. she had the minimum height heels on (2.75 ") when others were wearing 3"+ heels B. she had fairly stable T-strap shoes on when others were wearing slingbacks, strappy sandals and courts C. she was in the front line to start with!!! They should have had heats. Maybe 10 runners per race only. Can't wait for this to hit the UK though!

    Shoes Ankle Calf Knee Thigh Boots?

    Knee boots are my choice, but having said that I tend to look more at ankle boots nowadays as they are more practical to get on & off (I always wear em under trousers). There always seems to be a better choice and range available in the knee-boot style though. And usually fit better too for some reason :smile:

    Sorry to see things turn kind of sour between FF and KH. You both offer such interesting stories and well thought out contributions to the forum and I hear you two have worked together to coordinate events and such. Hopefully, its just a temporary spat, I have not been around here long, but hate to see that happen due to a few poorly chosen words on the spur of the moment.

    Well said, that man. I share the same sentiment.

    I hope to hear that FF & KH have kissed & made-up before the next international heel meet :o

    Peep toe shoes

    Peeptoes - Nope, just do not like them at all. They are OK on women I suppose. High-heeled peeptoes will always be better than flats but I just don't like them for some reason. Same for mules (open or closed). Not my thing at all.

    Mini-Meet London this coming Sunday PM

    Executive summary:Well, bit of a mixed bag, verging on disaster really. :o

    Crikey. You paint a vivid and depressing picture. Our fellow heelers may never want to leave the safety of their armchairs now!

    Always look on the bright side, I say! Anyway, here’s some thoughts from my perspective.

    I too was totally under-whelmed by the Fetish Fair event itself.

    I thought it was pretty small - quite easy to look round the whole thing within 30 minutes - whereas I'd expected to find something 10 times the size.

    The 'demonstrations' that they were having appeared to be taking place in an underground carpark with a single-figure audience! (not that we were interested enough to check them out ourselves either!).

    Aside from one girl in a stretchy catsuit, a bloke in a leather skirt and a couple of TV's, the stallholders were all fairly plainly dressed.

    Not many visitors entered into the spirit either.

    Where was all the rubber, latex and PVC clothing that was supposed to be on show? Short-changed or what? I'd have definitely been happier if there were more fetish fashion / costume-wearing people in there other than ordinary ‘people off the street’. That said, I didn’t feel at all uncomfortable wearing heels there once I’d put them on - maybe the 3 pints of lager had something to do with it!

    As FastFreddy says, most of the punters in the place looked like middle-aged geezers out for a lech (as was I of course!). At least we gave them something to look at – probably not what they were hoping for though.

    The venue is definitely a good place for a private gathering though. Maybe it could provide an alternative to The Miller one year?

    The filming going on didn't phase me at all. I have no interest in appearing in the background of some late night perv-o-vision programme but in view of the 'tameness' of the venue, I didn't think it looked in any way dodgy. We were only sitting down having a beer - not licking strawberry milkshake off a dominatrix’s thigh boots (more’s the pity)

    Our flying visit to Camden didn’t add much to the day unfortunately. I have probably been there a bit too often now to find anything interesting about that place. Also, Sunday is the busiest day they have and wading through herds of people to look at exorbitantly-priced plastic shoes was never going to be too enjoyable.

    No time was left to get a proper meal either (noodles in a tin-foil tray does not cut it!). I’m sure if we had done that, we would have enjoyed the Camden visit much more - there would have been an opportunity for some people watching and a bit more indoor heel wearing for me.

    Yeah, there were loads of people ‘clocking’ the stiletto Mary Jane’s worn by Loveshiheels. I only ever saw looks of amusement and a few nudges & head-nodding going on though – there was no unwelcome attention or ‘negative’ reactions when I was there. At least, I didn’t see or hear any myself. Kudos to Loveshiheels for “going for it” anyway.

    In conclusion - Enjoyable but a bit of a disappointment. 5/10. Must try harder.
