hoverfly Posted May 21, 2003 Posted May 21, 2003 Being short on ideas I picked this one because I have done this a few times my self and I am sure a few others has as well. Before I had my own high heels, my ex wife had a pair of black 5" T strap pumps. A couple of times I had put them one and walked around in them drunk. Need less to say I could not walk in them, I ended up wobbling around. Luckily I did not twist or brake any thing. Any body else have this kind of experience? Hello, my name is Hoverfly. I’m a high heel addict…. Weeeeeeeeeee! 👠1998 to 2022!

Firefox Posted May 21, 2003 Posted May 21, 2003 Nope. I can walk in heels drunk as well as normal shoes, as it's something I'm used to doing. But there comes a point where I suppose I would keel over whatever I was wearing but I've never reached that as I don't drink to excess.
mk4625 Posted May 21, 2003 Posted May 21, 2003 One time I tried walking in my thigh boots (6 in heels, no platforms) with a couple of shots of Jack Daniels in me. Luckily there was a couch nearby for me to collapse into. Michael
Yamyam Posted May 21, 2003 Posted May 21, 2003 I've wobbled back from pubs in heels several times. The worst occasion I've had was missing my seat in a taxi and ending up rolling about on the floor... Never broken anything either! Obsessed is such a strong word. I prefer to think of myself as "differently enthusiastic"
Laurieheels Posted May 22, 2003 Posted May 22, 2003 Yes, I did that well over a year ago, in a sports bar, during an after work function. Five inch stilettos, wood floor, and cheap drink specials for happy hor. I was still training up at that point, I may have been a month at only five inch heels then. It was an interesting walk to the bathroom, and an even more interesting game of mini golf. I've never had a problem with just a few drinks, of course, and I have been in heels and having a drink or two quite a few times. But this night was, well, it went a bit further than it should have. No, I did not end up sick, just smiling.
Francis Posted May 22, 2003 Posted May 22, 2003 been there, got the t-shirt! lucikly, I didn't suffer too much. I'm told the worst of it was dancing and spinning round on my heels, but didn't fall! I dunno about that part! Picked a fight on the way home and won, although a bruise on my face told me that someone had managed to get one in! If I can walk in them sober, I can walk in them drunk!!
High Surprise Posted May 22, 2003 Posted May 22, 2003 Ahh - what a GREAT subject. Also been there done that. More recently than anyone can imagine.... 2 nights ago I ended up in a local bar drinking rum and Cokes (for no reason other than celebrating the fact that summer was nearly here). Unfortunately after one or two drinks too many, I stood up, realising how wasted I really was. I attempted to walk home (which was fortuantely not too far away, although felt a lifetime away). Stupidly I was in my 5 inch white stilletoes which not only got scuffed to shreds but even worse, I broke the heel - getting it caught in between pavement (sidewalk) slabs of concrete. :-( I am so upset! Moral of the story: Don't do it!
texasbumpkin Posted May 23, 2003 Posted May 23, 2003 In reponce to Hoverfly, I was in the Old Port, in Portland Maine, and for those of you that have never been there, the streets near the bars are cobble stone. And all I have to say is: Alcohol + cobble stone + heels = sprained ankle

Yamyam Posted May 24, 2003 Posted May 24, 2003 He told me too, but I had to e-mail him a drink first Obsessed is such a strong word. I prefer to think of myself as "differently enthusiastic"
jim Posted May 24, 2003 Posted May 24, 2003 Tiddled...yup for sure and I manage heels with out a problem. I enjoy a few drinks and party up at times, but getting drunk...the pissed rotten,fall down, puke all over your shirt drunk does nothing for me at all. I don't get that way, haven't for 20 yrs and I don't plan on doing it any time soon.

Yamyam Posted May 26, 2003 Posted May 26, 2003 Oops Looks like we may have caused Hoverfly to get a bit of a handbagging Obsessed is such a strong word. I prefer to think of myself as "differently enthusiastic"

Perhaps he meant "headbanging." Was it a typeo? Being mentally comfortable in your own mind is the key to wearing heels in public.
xaphod Posted May 27, 2003 Posted May 27, 2003 Handbagging is a throwback to the days we had a female Prime-Minister, aka Margaret Thatcher. To get to that job you need to be a bit of a control freak. Thatcher immortalised this, but our latest PM, Blair, has perfected the art into a cynical science. His once arch-henchman, Peter Mandelson, in my opinion, has more than a touch of the Goebbels about him. Back to the plot..... when one of the cabinet strayed from the Margaret Thatcher line, he would be rebuked. It was alleged that this would take the form of a clout around the head from the large handbag which Thatcher habitually carried.
stilettos Posted May 27, 2003 Posted May 27, 2003 Handbagging, I believe, is when one gets swiped at a number of times with one or more handbags. The term is normally used in a humourous context. Of course I could be wrong...
Bubba136 Posted May 27, 2003 Posted May 27, 2003 Hmmm! Wasn't Maggie called "old Iron pants (drawers)?) I would thing they would call it "drawerbanging" :rofl: Thanks XP Being mentally comfortable in your own mind is the key to wearing heels in public.
stilettos Posted May 27, 2003 Posted May 27, 2003 I recall Maggie being known as the Iron Lady on this side of the pond, of course now I remember the handbag etc...

The term is normally used in a humourous context. Of course I could be wrong... This is precisely how I intended it! As I'm from the UK, the old Maggie Thatcher 'handbagging' thing has become a figure of speech. Now, at least where I grew up, the word means any kind of gentle and humourous rebuke from a lady to a man. In fact I'd forgotten the whole "Iron Lady" Thatcher thing, although as I type, I'm reminded of an occasion where she cancelled part of a foreign tour. The Guardian newspaper (fondly known as the "Grauniad" because of its typos) reported this under a headline along the lines of "Thatcher suffers metal fatigue" rather than 'mental fatigue' Obsessed is such a strong word.
