My favorite part is the way the golf ball matches the shoes! I was an art student, after all! Jen

To 6inchspikes:

The stainless steel shoes are from OrientVisual, aka 6 Inch Heels Forever. There has been some debate as to their quality, though. They supposedly have a 6 inch heel and are wearable. Check out this topic, by the way.

What the heck is it made from, baby seals? Geez.

Some of you may know of Spook, the girl with the 14 inch waist. Well, she has a Yahoo group with a few videos, and one of them is of her lacing up one of her ballet boots. She is very used to lacing things, of course!

13cm of snow, huh? Wow, you got it easy. We had at least 20cm here in da Midwest, and Nebraska got hit REAL bad. 13cm don't even slow my VW down, man! My town is notorious for the salt, though. I think it was last winter, the weather report said that we might get snow. It rained instead, and they dumped the salt on anyway. It's a constant battle with rust, man. Jen

Charlie as in 'Creeping Charlie', aka moneywort, often found to replace the grass in less cared-for yards here in the midwest.

bb2000, Nice job on what appears to be a mock-up. I don't have the resources to do this myself, and I actually used to suck at rollerskating. I did pretty well ice skating recently, so maybe I'm improving. Anyway, it would be neat to see a more 'polished' version, though it's up to you what you wanna do with it. I'm not commissioning the work or anything. I might try it myself someday. Life imitates art, in this case. Jen

In case no one has seen this yet (I hadn't) I thought I'd point it out. The first and third videos are nice.

And to echo Trolldeg's sentiments:

interesting.

Or how about this:

Sort of a six inch wedge with a short rollerskate on it. A quick sketch I made. Anyone wanna try it? Heh heh...

Is there any way to stretch shiny patent leather shoes? My pumps are usually squishing my toes together to some degree. If so, what would be the best stretching device/method to use? Jen

Pussy Galore (James Bond) (How'd they ever get away with that one...)

Thanks everyone for your advice so far. It's nice to find helpful people like yourselves. So it seems to be either practice, practice, practice, or medieval torture device. Actually, I wanted to try the foot-stretcher thingy, so maybe when I get some cash and more free time I'll experiment with both methods. Jen

I know you've all likely been over this before, but I had trouble finding the answer. I'm wondering if there's a good way to get your ankles more flexible so they'll bend back more (towards the calf). I was trying to wear my Ellie 6" heels today and figured that if I could get my foot to bend back further at the ankle, I could straighten up my posture like normal. I have no trouble with the 5.5" 'Extreme" style, but I can't stand/walk in the 6" ones without being all bent up and clumsy. Ack... help, please. 'Jen'

Those are neat. Good choice. If I may ask... what size shoe and heel height do you normally wear/prefer? Jen

Rather extreme looking shoes, man! The 4" ankle boots are very classy, though. I definitely prefer the classic and understated look. About the 6" ones... just where am I supposed to put my toes? Well, it looks as though the ball of the foot wouldn't be on the ground. Just wondering how that works with such a short (though nice looking) toe box. Jen
