Susan, a very special high-heeled lady.

Susan was a long time poster on Jenny's forum and holds a place in many of our hearts. In this thread you can talk about Susan and her unique achievements. I know there are very many people who would like to celebrate her dedicated lifestyle, so please feel free... <font size=-1>[ This Message was edited by: Firefox on 2002-02-06 23:47 ]</font>

I would like to say how much I respect Susan. What she has achieved is quite amazing. I can quite understand that she does not feel happy to make regular posts, or appear in the chat room, given some of postings that have happened over the years. This is a great pity, as she has so much to contribute. She is also an excellent writer. Perhaps one day she will write a book of her life. Another option would for her to have her own web site. Please come back Susan. Cheers Fred

Well, if she is not into making websites, I'm sure someone would help out, so she could tell it just like it is, and we would gladly link it for you.

Susan is very tallent writer. I hope she will someday write a book about her life. She cares and she shares.

Apparently, there have been doubts expressed regarding Susan's authenticity. Perhaps I can shed some light on this issue. Since I am a stranger to most of you who will read this post, a brief background is in order. I've been an active participant in Jenny's chatroom but for the mostpart have refrained from participating in posting on the forums. I was among the first to meet Susan in Jenny's chatroom some 5 years ago. Most would agree that whenever a "new" chatter enters, there's always some buzz amongst the regulars, speculating as to whether or not the newbie has represented themself as they truly are, or might they have "invented" what they portray in the chat. Susan's first few excursions into the chat were greeted by the same degree of skepticism as any of the others. "No one wears high heels exclusively." Or, "She can't possibly wear heels that high ALL of the time." Or, "I can't believe that anyone would do that to themselves." (Regarding loss of ankle flexibility, thereby being "locked into" high heels for good.) "No one could be that dedicated to high heels." And so it went. And yes, I shared in the skepticism. It's only natural to harbor doubts about anyone or anything which appears to be outside of the box. There are not a lot of women who purposefully submit to full-time wearing of ultra-tall heels. By her own hand, Susan submitted for posting the story of how she became a full-time wearer of heels. This was followed by shock and more skepticism. In my own case I recall seeing what I felt were a few inconsistancies in her writings. In every case, when asked about whatever didn't seem "right", Susan had answers that were completely satisfactory. Anything that had appeared as an inconsistancy was merely the result of hasty writing which had not fully explained things initially. I might add here, too, that as Susan's participation continued, so did her writing abilities improve. She learned the hard way that her writing needed to be very clear in order to be understood as she intended. As time went on I came to regard Susan as a friend to be cherished for the unique person she is. I still do, and have every hope that will continue into the future. I witnessed her winning over the respect and admiration of many who came to know her as a charming and pleasant woman. I witnessed her being badgered by others for reasons that I could only guess at. I witnessed her agony as she defended herself and her husband from attacks that seemed to come from nowhere and from anywhere. I saw her talk about dedication to her family and all that they meant to her. I saw her shaken badly when she learned that her husband had cancer. I saw her stand resolute with him as he battled that dreadful disease; she never faultered in answering his needs. And at the awful conclusion of that battle I saw her recover, comforted by the memory of a loving husband and by the continuing support of his extended family. Susan proved herself to be made of the "right stuff". And she did it all with class. Now I suppose that anyone who "happened in" on any, or even several of Susan's postings or chatroom conversations could afterwards be left with that nagging doubt of authenticity which was discussed earlier. After all, it's only natural to doubt that which is outside the norm. But, and pay attention here, when you've had ongoing chatroom discussion, seen the various postings and exchanged emails for a period of no less than 5 years, you then have had opportunity to develop a sense of what that person is about. I will state unequivocally that Susan is for real. She is what she says she is. If you're looking for a porn queen or a cyber-sex symbol, then Susan isn't it. She is an everyday American housewife, taking care of her family. And she's learned how to enjoy life along the way. She has friends and interests that contribute to her unique way of life. She's thankful for being born a woman. Further proof of her authenticity is the pictures she's sent to me. There's one of her as a delightfully young woman along with her soon-to-be husband that would have been taken some 30 years ago. There's a family portrait showing Susan, her husband and their children. There are also several close-ups featuring her shoes/feet/ankles/legs in a variety of high heels. Very high heels, I might add. :-) I suspect that Susan has made more friends through her participation in Jenny's than she realizes. There are many who from time-to-time quietly ask for news of her. And they cherish the memory of her active participation in the chatroom. She was a jewel; one who's sorely missed. So, when you add up all that's transpired between Susan and myself over the past 5 years, there can be no doubt that she is for real. Of course there will still be those who doubt. But then, there were those who never believed that Hitler could have really slaughtered all those millions of innocent people. For those of you who don't believe in Susan's story by now, you probably never will. But that doesn't mean that it's not the truth. Susan's Friend, raincat

Since I'm new here I can't say I've ever had a chat with Susan. I've read her posts here and the one's at Jenny's site, that's the extent of my Susan knowledge. There isn't an archive for Jenny's site is there? I'd like to read more of her posts, especially on how she became a hh woman.

Well said, raincat. Like rc, I, too, am a longtime friend of Susan’s. Also, like raincat, I've witnessed the events he’s recounted in his comments. I also became acquainted with her husband before his untimely demise. Chatting and exchanging emails with him over several years, I believe I earned his respect, as he earned mine, despite our differing views on men in high heels. We've spent many very enjoyable sessions in Jenny's chat room, with Jenny, Debbie, Susan, LisaT, Jane and a bunch of guys, wisecracking and joking, telling stories and experiencing Susan's humor and reliving her experiences. And, in more private moments, we've managed to help each other over some of life's speed bumps and more difficult hurdles. There's no need for me to recount the events leading to my being convinced that she is real. rc has already posted those. Leave it said that the route to my being convinced is almost identical. And, I truly believe she is a most gracious and caring person. A person with courage of her convictions, steadfastly moral and beliefs anchored in a strong religious belief. Her presence here has contributed much more than can ever be recounted. And, for that, we're thankful. We miss her here and in the chat room as we miss Jenny, Debbie, Jane and so many other highly admired women we've had the pleasure of meeting on this website over the past 5 years. And, like rc, I sincerely hope she finds time to return to our midst. I hope they all manage to find the time to come here again. Thank you Susan. The pleasure has been all mine!

Being new, my initial impression of Ms. Susan is very positive. She's passionate and genuine regarding her passions and opinions. And I think her and I are close to the same age.
