awesome... mind you i'd probably still enjoy watching it if she wasn't on the high wire

as much as i too worried about being caught wearing high heels by people I know... somehow I'm not that concern by security cameras (video phone, personal digital cameras etc by strangers is a different matter).... I kinda see security camera as another way of ensuring a safer place for me to go public in hgih heels as i hope they deter strangers from reacting (too) negatively if they saw me in heels.... i suppose i place soe misguided trust that the security footage will not be used irresponsibly.... this is a big assumption but i guess better this then in fear of anywhere with cameras (and thus making me more suspicious lurking around in my heels....)

very nice..... classic....

hight4 - all the very best with your heeling.... i don't really have any advice except to do whatever you feel comfortable and confident in doing...... with the benefit of hindsight - i do wish i was more adventurous with wearing heels to college/university..... there's just so many more open minded people at that age (at the same time, some really closed minded ones too.....) it's probably a time where i could try more things than later on in life.... but who knows... i think zaphod is on point.... androgyneous is probably the best way to go so you can go either way once you feel comfortable in the new environment..... it's a generally kinda accepted mode of dress without completely in your face and obvious as wearing clothing that are normally designated to the opposite sex (yes - i tried to not use the term cross dress....) all the best and i look forward to see/read how you go....

welcome another Aussie on the forum..... enjoy and catch you around..... (here and maybe on the streets)

wish i had a swapsie friend too

slightly OT..... my heel wearing have cause marks on my floorboards at home..... i always wonder when my wife will start questioning where all the stilettos heels marks are coming from..... and whether she would assume i'm having an affair

well said everyone.... if only more of the population in the world have the same believe, we (at least I definitely will) be living in a much happier and friendlier place....

what!! u r a pommie..... i'm not going to chat to you or listen to your advice again lol..... thanks.... yeah... i suppose it's a trade off with me..... i much rather go out in heels a little bit incognito (and hide it abit under my jeans and all) rather not go out in heels at all....

hahaaaa.... aussie pride eh yeah... love the highest ones.... but they are also the ones i'm most likely going to chicken out on.... so might go a little conservative so as to actually go through with it....

oh yes... go the red.... love red heels with jeans......

good for you heelguy..... with the rate you are going... i'm sure you won't chicken out.... i have to say i love the gladiator heels with the jeans..... it goes really well together.... the blue of the other heel is a little too blue to go with the jeans for my personal taste..... (but that's just me)

i've worked with quite a fair few models for various reasons (styling, catwalk, shoots etc)... and they generally don't lie about their shoe size.... however, the stylist or walldrobe normally have a selection of items and models are expected to fit into whatever's available on the day..... i guess it a little bit of a catch 22... they may lie so that they can get booked (if the shoe walldrobe is limited to a certain size) but then it's in their interest not to lie so that the stylist can provide the correct fitting shoes for them..... height - on the other hand - is something all models lie about.... both over and under quoting their true height

heelguy... love the look with the jeans..... i love wearing my heels with skinny jeans too.... but i tend to wear straight leg jeans if i go out as it cover a bit more of the heel......

thanks dawn.... we Aussies will do everyone proud hmmmm need petrol again for my car... which heels should I wear to the petrol station tonight ;p

congrats heelguy.... wish my wife is as understanding......

Boots4Me - I' in Sydney as well..... I wouldn't consider me brave..... let's put it this way, I've had the intend to go out in heels and chicken out last minute way more than actually going through with it.... even if I have prepare/planned and ready to go..... was hoping it gets easier after the first time..... Heelguy - mate.... you are way braver than me.... i can't even dream about walking around town in the city with pubs and clubs around like you have..... I suppose out mind set is probably a little different.... i prefer getting petrol, supermarket, train and walk home probably because I feel that they are specific task I'm doing and somehow, I feel that I can control the situation..... Whereas, what you have done, I think would freak me out as it is not something I do often and thus i feel the amount of variables that I may encounter and have to deal with is too much for me to handle..... even though (rationally) none of those scenario will actually eventuate..... DesTheMan - i know what you mean, like you I think my biggest fear is running into someone I know or recognise me...... as much as I'm worried about people reaction or being laughed at etc.... what would really absolutely alter my life (which I'm not prepare for) is that if someone I know see me in heels and it gets back to other acquaintance and then to my close family and friends..... it really shouldn't be that big a deal for just wearing a nice pair of heels but that's my biggest fear....

wow.... it's great to see so many active Aussie on the boards here...... destheman - I too, like you, haven't been brave enough to really do too much public heeling..... like you (again), I've put petrol in and walked in the petrol station to pay a few times but this is done usually in strange hours of the night (after 11pm at the earliest)..... have walked into the supermarket (24 hrs Coles) a few time after midnight to pick up a few things in heels too.... the most adventurous I've been is a few times after working later on a weekday (say after 9ish), I would change into a pair of heels (stilettos a few times) to be worn with my suit on the train ride home... The station I get off is pretty quiet but there's always at least a dozen or so other people getting off..... and I would walk home in the heels from the train station..... the walk is not a long one (10-15 minutes or so in high heels) but it does require crossing quite a busy road via a well lit zebra crossing and also walk past a well frequent pub..... the feeling is amazing each time I get to do this..... that is if I don't chicken out from it on the train..... even though I've done the above outing a fair few times, I'm still no where near comfortable or confident enough to do it all the time..... there are loads of time when I'm prepare to do something (eg on the train with the heels or at the petrol station or supermarket) and then chicken out the last minute, eventhough i haven't had any negative reaction so far (that said, haven't really had any positive reaction either)..... it all depends on how strongly I feel on the day..... Heelguy - just had a good read of your other thread.... mate, you are a true inspiration.....

agreed crazyewok.... well said Bubba... i think you hit the nail on the head re: the reason why we are constantly on high alert looking for people reaction.... i look forward to a day when either society allows or my confidence increase or my care factor decrease where i'm not on high alert for reaction when i'm on heels... basically, when most of us are not on high alert as to our choice of footwear is when we are accepted as social norm (whatever that means)..... thanks Bubba... somehow, i've never linked the 2 together even though now, to me, it so obvious....

hey Crazyewok..... i understand where you are coming from but in making your point, you also (to me anyway) somehow at the same time contradicted your point....

But It the thought of being labled a deviant that hurts........

I can also asure that I'm happy being a man and have no intrest in being a woman. And this can probbaly be said for most guys on here (yes there are probbaly a few bad apples like any where).

you say that being classed as a deviant hurts (which I agree it does).... but then went on to prove you are not a deviant by listing a few example... however, these example demostrate your prejudice as to what a deviant is and i can assure you that there will be people who are in those groups you used as example... (eg men interested in being a woman) who may feel the same and wonder why they are classed as a deviant in your mind..... based on your earlier decription... they are not hurting anyone else or endanger anyone else... in fact they are not that different to us who want to wear heels as male in society... one might argue that they are pushing the boundary further but realistically aren't we all in the same boat.....

sorry to be prudentic about this, and i admit I struggle with this internally (in fact, ironically, i "think" I'm prejudice against other male besides myself wearing heels or othere feminine clothing but that's a separate discussion)... so in no way am i having a go at you but more of a general commentary of my internal conflict which I think alot of us may have....

great heels/boots in the show.... and i absolutely love Eliza-Dushku.....

pussyinboots - i love your attitude... i wish more people (male and female) have your attitude to life..... kikepa - i hear you.... and know exactly what you are saying...... i often tried to imagine if one of my friend came to me and told me something about themself that I find absolutely disgusting (this is different for different people, just think of whatever thing that is a friendship breaker for you)..... would I be able to stay friends with them.... yeah i know and obviously don't think men wearing heels is disgusting... but somehow for some people it is...... i don't think it is up to me to convert them or dictate to them what they have to accept or not...... i suppose, you can say it was my fault not being honest and upfront about this to them to begin with when the friendship was formed..... so i suppose, i don't blame friends that decide not to hang round once they know this part about me.... i would be sad loosing them but i can kinda understand their side too....

i don't think you'll have much issue heeling in Sydney or Melb.... As Ben in AU said.... probably stay clear of some of the rougher pubs.... The main reason I'm afraid of wearing heels out in Sydney is that I'll run into people.... but if that was not an issue, I would feel quite comfortable around most parts in heels....

awesome heels... wish i had them all...... i like the first outfit the best.... also, (hope it's not taken the wrong way)... your wife have great legs and an awesome body.....

welcome from another Aussie .... catch you on the forums some times
