Yes, those pictures are very nice. I must admit, I quite like cute feet, like yours And you've obviously gone to great lengths to look good, which I always appreciate.

My g/f knows about the heels and hose, and also knows that it is part of me and that it won't go away. I don't wear them outside as I am way to nervious.

However, since the birth of our first child, she has become a lot less tolerant, and even sees it as threatening. We have made a comprise, in that I will only wear them when she is not home, and if I want a "session", she can disappear for a while.

I had a similar experience with my (now ex-)wife. I can see why - this kind of thing isn't only about us parents, it's about the children as well, and that makes it hard. It's definitely hard for me right now, trying to balance the halves of my life.

I'll see what the future holds, and I hope that she will become more comfortable.

Does anyone else wear their heels and/or hose around their children ?

Not now. Perhaps later, when he's old enough for me to explain properly. I'm very lucky in that me and my little one have a very good relationship, and I think we always will. So I think it'll be relatively easy to tell him (but not easy).

Good luck with it all!

...Or your sister is the same size and you're buying her a present. (Doesn't work with size 12UK though!).

That'd be a big sister!

But yeah, I just say that they're for me, and no-one minds. As has been said elsewhere, you're paying for them, your money is as good as anyone's, and you should get the same service as anyone else.

The key to the whole thing is confidence. Once you can fake that, you're sorted

Congratulations! The first steps are always the hardest!

I think that a small platform can enhance the look of a shoe. Something like half an inch or so, perhaps. But anything much more than that looks out of proportion, and ugly. I've got a pair of 'Son of SQ' big platforms that I bought for the 7" heels, but I don't wear them often, as I'm not so keen on the platforms any more.

Hey! Welcome to here!

Well, perhaps they noticed, perhaps they didn't. I've noticed that most people don't look much beyond the end of their noses. I spent part of Saturday night playing around in a pair of 4" thin heel boots in a busy city centre pub. No-one apart from the few people around me seemed to notice anything at all. Of course, I'm saying this, I don't wear heels in my home town, as I wonder about possible reactions that'd affect my family. But when I'm away, I'm there! And at Christmas, you can go anywhere, buy anything, and do whatever you like in shops. Everyone else will either assume you're being marvellously creative with Christmas presents or won't notice as they're too busy shopping for Auntie Nellie. Go for it. Run free (well, after some practice, it isn't as easy as some people make it look )

For me, 6 and less so 2 work okay. Yes, they're odd, but isn't that what catwalk fashion is all about? Must admit, for 6, I might do something similar for a party or something. But I don't think I'd include the white skirt. Nice boots, tho'.

Damn, I wish I could do that. Tragically, I'm back to people saying 'wear what you want', but not meaning it. Oh well, what the hell.

Where's the back seat for the women?

oops! another secret out!

I'm never sitting on the back seat of your car again, Francis!!!!

(Does this mean you're back on-line?)

Lucky you! As I've said other places, my mother doesn't know, and I'm not sure if I should ever tell her! However, we seem to be getting on better now than ever before, so perhaps... But my Dad and Stepmom know, and they're cool about it. I don't think I want too much encouragement, so for me just knowing they're cool is what I want.

Does anyone have any possible remedies or similar experiences with 6 inch pumps?

Can I try them on and see what I think ?

Aren't there other things in life?

No

Very elegant !!

I wonder how would I feel wearing those slingbacks ??

Now you've said that, I'm wondering how I'd feel in them. Quite good, I think!

Hiya, Polly, and welcome!

Well, given that the whole of the West Midlands is on a slope one way or the other, there'll be plenty of slippery slopes this winter to practice on!

...and now the 5" spiky boots. Now these really are my style, and I'm going to enjoy wandering around the site in those! Hey - where's everyone else? Someone must have a new pair to celebrate!

I'm back !

New house, new phone line, so internet access resumed but on 0845

broadband being ordered soon then Yamyam can have sleepless night s again

Ouch Best get some sleep now, while I still can!

Oh, if 'Thanksgiving'=='Harvest Festival', it kind of makes sense here. What's Thanksgiving all about?

If you're doing something that makes you happy, then congratulations are in order. I can't remember if I've said this once or not, but if not, here goes!

I'd noticed things slowing a bit, but I see it as a chance for those of us who are a bit quieter to dip a (well-shod) toe into the waters. This is your chance, silent majority! Let's be hearing what you've got to say !

You'll need to find your own goddess for that, or buy a good number of Hot Rod magazines.

I'll just have to keep looking for another goddess, then. Darn

Oh, and ObOnTopicComment: "...when you wish that pictures on the Internet would load from the bottom upwards, rather than top down."
