Yaaaay! A year! And I've been here for most of that. I feel like an old-timer
But certainly this year's been a big help for me sorting out what I'm about. So, thanks to everyone who's made this place what it is, and here's to many more successful years!

Hayway staff are very friendly and it's a factory unit so no other shoppers (they only allow 1 at a time in the showroom).
I can recommend going there - they're in Leicester
Hmmm... I'm not far from Leicester - where exactly are they.
I wonder if several members of HHPlace could claim to be one person and all sneak in at once?

I was wondering where to post this, either in the fetish section or the how-to, so I thought this would be best... I was interested in either making or purchasing some pony boots, that is shoes on a high incline, without a heel, so it kind of looks like a hoof. I am not interested in the animal roleplay or anything, I just thought the shoes were neat and would be fun to wear.
I'm attaching a picture from someone's personal website, I haven't done this before, so it may take a few tries to make it work...
(alt+p)
I know these were from Kayser's in Australia. I wondered if any other company made these boots as well? So far, I can only find them as a retailer..
It didn't, but this might:
Jezebel, make sure you only have the URL to the image enclosed between the url tags. If you quote this message, you'll see how I did it.

Sorry Bubba, I thought my English was good but here I've got to look it up in a dictionaire because I never heard those words before
Worry not, Highluc! I know what those words mean, but I doubt I could define them clearly in writing. And most of the people I know wouldn't know what they meant either, and they're native speakers of English!
Your English is excellent, and no end better than my command of foreign languages!

TallSwede, I suspect it may be a vision thing. I'm slightly long-sighted, and an optician suggested I buy some instant reading glasses. They didn't help much, but I must admit I nearly fell over when standing firmly on a floor wearing trainers (runners). Yikes! I haven't worn them since, and I think I'll just stand further away from things for the time being. That was the only time I've ever had anything like vertigo, and it was horrible.

I've often wondered. A (long-)ex girlfriend once treated me to a very painful two seconds with her silkepil hair plucker, but that was about it. No, I'm happy with my not particularly hairy legs, thanks.

I can't understand why these "band aids" aren't manufactured in more colors than those ugly caucasian "flesh" colored strips. After all, aren't they designed to hide blemishes?
I have a feeling that they just say 'there's no demand'. Hundreds of times a day, sometimes. Just like larger size shoes with heels on
[Currently being a smug 8-9UK]

Apparently, a fear of heights is pretty much built-in to humans. Babies old enough to crawl won't crawl off a fake drop, even though they'd crawl on to perspex and wouldn't fall.
I'm not scared of heights at all. I love open elevators, flying, leaning off tall buildings, anything. Bring it on, I say. For those who know Silbury Hill, in the West Country, UK, me and a couple of pals spent a happy hour leaning off the top of that into a very strong wind. Awesome!
(Silbury hill is an artificial hill, with about 45-degree sides. It's a great place to go, but I think it's all fenced off now).
And I must admit, I didn't like the extreme plats. They look far too heavy. Sorry
-
I must admit that I drive past two or three shoe shops on my way to the office. But it's a complete accident. Honest. ...but I do arrange customer trips to pass shoe shops. Off to Bluewater (err, Kent-based customer) next week
. Oh, and the boots are great, both of you.
-
Well, it almost works for me, but I'd rather a Jack Daniel's instead of a Martini.

Baldrick (OK, perhaps one for UK television watchers. Black Adder? No? Anyone? I'll just get my coat...)
-
Not me! No way, nohow! Just never really felt the urge. And, of course, having a non-standard complexion for the UK, I'm doubly disadvantaged. (Pet peeve - 'flesh-coloured sticky plasters'. They aren't, you know
)

Fishnets are so sexy !
Oh yes.
And I discovered on ebay that the ones with the big holes are called 'whale nets'. Kind of makes sense, really.

I'd use frames too. However, as a 'not quite so lazy programmer', I have before now knocked up a quick C program to maintain menu bars. But then, I have several UNIX machines around here, so it's a bit easier for me.
Frames are a pain in the butt, but then again, so is trying to do without them.
As for the Dreamweaver solution - wouldn't know. I use vim on Windows or UNIX

Why, thank you, Julietta! Yes, I like Brantano. Plenty of space, plus the 'wrong turn' alibi for us men:) Brantano and Schuh are my favourite places. But I can't afford Schuh often

Thanks Yamyam but it's thanks to having a digital camera really as you can retake the pics until you get the ones you like, and believe me I have had to erase quite a few rough ones
You should give it a go I'd love to see your collection and I'm sure so would everyone else.
I will watch this space......
Julietta xx
Oh, I have a digital camera. It's just that the only ones I take are rough ones
. More practice needed, I think. Some of my shoes are online at some borrowed space: they're at http://www.rhysw.pwp.blueyonder.co.uk/o4hsyy/ but I'll do some more photos when I can.

YamYam, um, no. I am not covering him in velvet. Chris will remain unmaligned in such a fashion.
Any other comments are censored on my part.
Oh well. It'd have made for an interesting diary entry, anyway. Oh, and also like Julietta, and many others, I enjoy your writings too. Another standard for me to aspire too
-
Julietta - how do you take such great pictures? I've never managed to take a decent photo of my own shoes, otherwise I'd have posted some.

A comment was made to me during the week, that the two words most brought up in my diary are Chris and velvet.
So, all we need to do is to cover Chris in velvet, and...
Actually, I'd quite like to try 5" as well, but not at the stupefyingly steep prices that I've seen them for so far
-
Yikes! Actually, I think this looks sort-of okay. I'm not going to be the first one to give that a try around here, tho'

Right now there's about a couple dozen bottles of fine wine that could use all that cork! :-D
I'm going to have to disagree with you there, JeffB. The best thing to do with bottles of wine is to remove the corks. Then pour into glasses, and check the quality of the wine. Sometimes, I find, you need a second opinon. And possibly a third. And so on. This works for me until somewhere near the end of the night, when I tend to have a 'thud' opinion, as I fall over

I quite agree, Stellah. I must admit, tho', while I love the challenge of walking in stiletto boots, I think they're quite 'dressy' for me. I'd wear chunkier hh boots more, if I could
and save the spikes for nights out. I've just bought a nice pair of boots from Barratts, in a UK9, with a nice chunky heel, for all-day wear (as and when!) As I may have mentioned elsewhere, I'd put wedges in the acceptable on men category, as they're a bit more stealthy. I also have a pair or two similar to your third example, and somehow they do seem 'girlier' but I'd never really thought about it before.

Nice photos, stellah!
