euchrid Posted May 1, 2009 Posted May 1, 2009 Anyone watch the 1st episode of Boy Meets Girl tonight? http://www.independent.co.uk/arts-entertainment/tv/features/boy-meets-girl--strangers-in-strange-skins-1669781.html as might have been expected, it contained an "hilarious" scene where the guy (now trapped in a womans body) walks like a drunken giraffe in high heels. Oh hee hee, how very amusing and oh so original!!! Later on, 'he' makes a remark about "how can women wear these instruments of torture?". sheesh, thanks ITV for giving us such modern thought-provoking comedy-drama. Always High-Heel Responsibly
crotchboots-m Posted May 2, 2009 Posted May 2, 2009 forgive them,for they know not what they do. this was a quote by a very famous person from long ago...anyone know how it is?
kikepa Posted May 2, 2009 Posted May 2, 2009 ...it contained an "hilarious" scene where the guy (now trapped in a womans body) walks like a drunken giraffe in high heels. Oh hee hee, how very amusing and oh so original!!! Sadly, I've seen many CD/TV/TS women who couldn't walk for squat in heels, either, which is a shame, as it's a fair giveaway. Those who really care about us don't make a fuss about what we wear. Those who make a fuss about what we wear really don't care about us.
Dr. Shoe Posted May 3, 2009 Posted May 3, 2009 That program was dire... had to watch Reggie Perrin instead... Graduate footwear designer able to advise and assist on modification and shoe making projects.
Bad_Robot Posted May 10, 2009 Posted May 10, 2009 What else would you expect from a programme made and show on itv? Its a sad indictment of rubbish served up to us by the media industry, all they really care about at "the ratings" and so it matters not a jot to them if they are reinforcing age old stereotypes that should be dead and buried....and may the BBC be forgiven for what they have done to Reggie Perrin they know not what crime they are commiting
johnieheel Posted May 11, 2009 Posted May 11, 2009 I don't watch tv or subscribe to it. I get all my info here real men wear heels
Dr. Shoe Posted May 11, 2009 Posted May 11, 2009 Sadly, I've seen many CD/TV/TS women who couldn't walk for squat in heels, either, which is a shame, as it's a fair giveaway. ...and real women. The only giveaway is the fact that the person can't wear heels. Graduate footwear designer able to advise and assist on modification and shoe making projects.
Rockpup Posted May 11, 2009 Posted May 11, 2009 Very true, two female friends of mine who shared my foot size could not walk in heels at all. One didnt care, the other would be annoyed at my ability to walk in boots she would love to wear (formerly known as "JimC")
brianinboots Posted July 26, 2009 Posted July 26, 2009 forgive them,for they know not what they do. this was a quote by a very famous person from long ago...anyone know how it is? 'til they walk a while, a country mile, in my hillbilly shoes montgomery gentry
ShockQueen Posted July 26, 2009 Posted July 26, 2009 Say what you will, but I rather enjoyed that clip. Then again, I've seen a lot of "body swap" type stories, but to me, this would be by far one of the funnier ones. SQ.....still busting societal molds with a smile...and a 50-ton sledge!
Histiletto Posted July 26, 2009 Posted July 26, 2009 Another example of guys trying to satisfy the stereotypical attitude of thinking real men can't show any outward symptoms or abilities that can be qualified as those of gals. Everyone has to have a time to become familiar with the things that are foreign to their abilities. Children up untill they first learned to walk on their own or speak their first sentence, struggle to acheive those skills. The idea of getting these younguns with the new found skill to orate a two minute dissertation on the similarities of men and women in heels, would be beyond their scope of life. Even though they are walking in daddy's heels like mommy does.
BoyLegs Posted July 27, 2009 Posted July 27, 2009 That program was dire... had to watch Reggie Perrin instead... As in Fall and Rise of ...? Or are there new stories?
PJ Posted August 14, 2009 Posted August 14, 2009 I really believe it depends on the writers intentions. If they want to emphasize that the character is obviously a male dressed as a woman or does not dress like this often, then they are presented as being clumsy or feeling awkward. But if the writers want to fool another character, as well as the audience, they present a very passable person who walks in heels like they have worn them all their lives. click .... click .... click .... The sensual sound of stiletto heels on a hard surface.
kikepa Posted August 18, 2009 Posted August 18, 2009 That's a very old, and often-repeated theme. My first impression (definately not the first on the silver screen) was of a switch between one of the brothers from Simon and Simon and some blond actress who had a wonderful ability to act like one of the guys. Jeremy Smits starred as a supporting actor. Circa 1980s. Those who really care about us don't make a fuss about what we wear. Those who make a fuss about what we wear really don't care about us.
