    That's it .... default mode is skirt and heels.

    in For the guys

    Posted

    I thought I would give you a bit of an update.

    OK, I've not been wearing a skirt every day .... there are some days when I just have had enough of the negativity which I sometimes sense.

    For example, in the supermarket, the checkout woman laid particular emphasis on 'that will be £10.25 sir'. When I received my change, I said 'thank you madam'. OK, there are some days when I can just do without this.

    On the other hand, I find humour helpful in breaking the ice. One guy in a newsagents seemed a bit embarassed as he said 'thank you sir', so I replied 'even though I'm wearing skirt and heels, sir works fine'. This sortof relieved the tension.

    I was at the 'Fox and Hounds' TV group last evening and I met a 'girl' who was more outgoing than me. In real life he works as a fire alarm engineer and has just changed jobs. There was some introduction meeting for new employees, so he sat in the front row, with handbag, pink pencil and girly shoes, in addition to his normal work attire. He works on the idea that the way to ease people's mindset into the idea that he dresses as a girl when he gets the chance, is to give them not-so-subtle clues that he has a different dress sense than most. Nail varnish, a girly-ish hairstyle (I don't have problems with that one ! ) and plucked eyebrows drop the hint.

    About nail varnish. Putting the stuff on neatly is a real pain .... the only way I've found is to do as good a job as you can, but there will be inevitably some go onto your cuticles and finger ends. The only way to remove this is to allow it to wear off the skin (which it does fairly rapidly), while remaining on the nails. This means that you have to wear polished nails at the times when you might have to do heavy-duty masculine stuff. When I stopped hedgetrimming yesterday to talk to the tractor driver working in the field next door, I kept my work gloves on. He looked at my hands a couple of times while we talked, but bright purple fingernails would have clashed somewhat with this rural scenario.

    Having done the skirt thing, I suppose every other day for a month or so, I think I would sum up the reaction of the general public to me as 'begrudging tolerance'

    London heelmeet Sat 19th Nov

    in Real Life Meetings

    Posted

    This is a cut-and-paste from the old board. --------------------------------------------------------- Posted by xaphod on October 22, 2005, 10:37:39 Now, Doc S was talking about a heelmeet in London in November. Just because the hhplace is playing silly b.s doesn't mean that we can't keep the idea active here. Time is getting closer and to avoid a last-minute rush (and people not being able to organise holiday at short notice ... see I havn't forgotten you Daz), it might be an idea to start the ball rolling here. I suggest we make it a Saturday this time. -------------------------------------------------------------- Posted by Calv on October 25, 2005, 17:45:42, in reply to "London heelmeet in November ?" Hi Xaphod Great idea, would be able to do November 19 or 26. Whats happened to hhplace? Calv ------------------------------------------------------------ Posted by Heelfan on October 25, 2005, 20:02:39, in reply to "Re: London heelmeet in November ?" Count me in on either date - the sooner the better! Regarding HH Place, in the longish thread below, I've asked Firefox if he can find out from Jeff what's happening. Cheers, Heelfan ------------------------------------------------------------------ Posted by xaphod on October 26, 2005, 8:07:18, in reply to "Re: London heelmeet in November ?" OK, guys. Usual place usual time, 1100. Starbucks opposite Centre Point, Tottenham Ct Rd. I'll send Daz a text to say what we're up to. Xa --------------------------------------------------------------- Unfortunately the Garbage System for Mobiles bounced Daz's text back, but hopefully he finds this here. Xa

    I'm impressed, a3 .... you're a true fetish afficianado and, IMHO, have rocketed to the premier rank at the fetish end of the board. Yes, I have a few fetishy shoes (about 4 pairs), but these are only a small fraction of my collection. Welcome, and best wishes, Xa

    .....

    Nevertheless, I'm not ready to present me as canon-fodder for commercial tv stations. Not that I'm afraid to present me frankly on heels in public. I'm doing it daily. It's my deep distrust to commercial tv stations and the fear to be pulled down on their low intellectual level. My fear to be confrontated with the stupidest turkish guy of Germany, who has never learned how to discuss. Insulting me as faggot, pansey etc. It's sufficient to make this experience sometimes on the street. I'm not interested in such exchanges of blows. Even if I'm sure that I would win the fight by far in spite of my crazy outfit. But that's exactly the style of "Oliver Geissen's Talkshow" in RTL and that's not my thing.

    When I was a child, my father and I were walking along the bank of a fast, deep river with lots of swirls and eddies. At the time I was learning to swim and I asked my dad, a good swimmer, if he could swim in that river. He said it was too dangerous and added, 'water is a good servant, but a bad master'.

    He also said that fire is the same, it can heat the room and cook your food, but if you let it get out of control it can burn your house down.

    I would also add, in modern context, 'the media are a good servant, but a bad master'.

    London Heelmeet anyone?

    in Real Life Meetings

    Posted

    I'm thinking of an impromptu trip up to London on Fri 7th. I suspect that Selfridges will feature on the agenda, as they have an exhibition associated with the 'Kinky Boots' cinema release from Thurs onwards. If there is interest, I suggest the usual meeting place ..... upstairs in Starbucks cafe, opposite Centre Point at Tottenham Ct Rd tube at 1100. Xa

    ....... She has the latest round-toed heels on, though. UM-UM!!!

    ..... Christian Louboutin 'Clichy' style. If you go to a C-L shop though, you'll only be able to buy the 4" variety of them which are downright boring by comparison. I supect that J-Lo threw a hissy fit to get the 5" versions.

    There has been quite a lot of discussion of Clichys on www.thefashionspot.com

    PS where is this pub?

    The Fox and Hounds at Little Bromley, near Manningtree.

    I used to go there in the 90s when I was doing a work assignment in Essex. Surprised the hell out of them when I turned up again, best part of 10 years later.

    The place is now a 50 mile drive from me, but worth it for an occasional evening.

    A bit of news from yesterday .... I took my first shopping trip to Norwich as a break from the tedium of organising the house. The shops, as you would expect, are much the same as any UK high street. I was wearing a pinstripe long skirt, red Aldo boots (with matching Tula handbag), white t-shirt and guys leather jacket. It was expected to rain .... and did so with a vengeance later !

    OK, I got shouted at by a group of young guys in a car that was stuck in traffic .... but only after they started moving again, so I couldn't tell them they were a bunch of pillocks.

    The best incident was in River Island, where they have some pretty spectacular stiletto knee boots this Autumn .... A young girl, with her b/f, was trying on a pair of the spiky knee-highs. She struck me as a fairly shy girl for whom such a pair of boots she might think too sexy. b/f appeared as a 'good egg', not too flash .... together they made the impression of a respectable middle-aged couple 20 years down the line. Now, hell, even for potential respectable middle-aged couples, there needs to be some spice in life which might be improved by her wearing a pair of nice boots, so, in my slightly louder voice, I said 'Young lady, they're sex on legs, buy them' !

    She didn't seem to know where the voice came from, but b/f looked me straight in the eye and smiled. The sales girl cast me a filthy look as if my interjection might cost her a sale, but a couple of seconds later she was seen ringing up the sale.

    I had a chat with the girl later, saying that I had moved to the area, but she wouldn't see me in the shops until the sales .... yes you can make some profit out of me, but not at full price. She seemed a bit downhearted until I told her that my collection has now exceeded 100 pairs. Heck, there's the same profit in shifting two pairs at markdown prices than one pair at top price.

    I was out a couple of days ago wearing 4" stils, skirt and a white t-shirt. I don't know why, but it just felt a heck more comfortable than sticky old trouser legs in warm weather. I've been out in knee boots too when it was cooler in the evening .... wearing trousers over boots would just have been way too warm around the legs. So, I've decided that I shall go to the wardrobe in the morning and select a skirt to wear, unless there is an over-riding reason why I should not. For example, this morning I'm looking for some propagator boxes at the nursery for some fuschia cuttings from my old house. It's got to be 5" fuss courts with black pinstripe skirt and white t-shirt. Unfortunately I'm going to be reassembling a gearbox this afternoon, so boo-hoo, I'm going to have to ditch the skirt, wear mucky trousers and my workboots. I will get to play this eve, though, ..... it's tranny night at a pub I know, so the blue knee-highs will get their first outing in public. Xa

    ....snip.... Before hhplace, my high heel street heeling was really, really limited.

    I have to credit firefox and xaphod with being my initial primary inspiration. ......

    Aw, shucks ..... I've come shy all over :wink:

    Hi, Magic, I keep seeing the seeds of some good advice here. GREAT that your g/f likes heels and is happy to indulge your passion ..... BUT a relationship is a pretty poor thing if you have only one interest in common. Xa

    Hi, Adorn,

    Nice to have another member of the club, especially one with an enthusiastic wife. Thanks for the comment about defending to the death the right of a guy to wear what he wants, even if, by your standards, it's outrageous.

    If you do want some nice heels in size 47Eu (not the usual red plastic 6" spikes fetish stuff) then look at my perennial favourites, www.fuss-schuhe.de
