Henri Posted February 23, 2010 Posted February 23, 2010 Many of you know that I travel weekly on business and I always travel in heels. I just got to the Hotel and was informed that they are having a Manager's Reception tonight and the Manager has asked that I attend. I am here without any flats. Therefore I have to attend in Heels. OH THAT'S TOO BAD !!! Henry If you haven't learned something new today; you have wasted the day.
loswabs Posted February 23, 2010 Posted February 23, 2010 Have fun, and do let us know what happened!!! It's my opinion, no more, no less
Bootking Posted February 23, 2010 Posted February 23, 2010 Nice heels Henri, have fun! It's all about the heel!
HappyFeat Posted February 23, 2010 Posted February 23, 2010 I can see you are all broken up about having to attend the reception in heels. Good thing those heels are worthy of a party! Hope you have fun and please share how things went.... Style is built from the ground up!
jojo Posted February 23, 2010 Posted February 23, 2010 Enjoy Henri..........and I just love your ankle-chain!
kfsteve391 Posted February 23, 2010 Posted February 23, 2010 Nice heels. I'm sure you will be a big hit at the reception.
bluejay Posted February 24, 2010 Posted February 24, 2010 Your heels look great. I like the ankle chain as I wear them also. Hope you had fun at the reception!
roniheels Posted February 24, 2010 Posted February 24, 2010 Those are great looking high heels. I hope you have fun and please report to us how the event went.
ShockQueen Posted February 24, 2010 Posted February 24, 2010 Awesome heels, Henri! As the others have said, we'd love to hear how things went! Hope all goes well! SQ.....still busting societal molds with a smile...and a 50-ton sledge!
Henri Posted February 24, 2010 Author Posted February 24, 2010 The Manager's Reception went quite well. It started at 5:00 PM and lasted till past 11:00 PM. I stayed for the entire event. The lounge was almost full to capacity and everyone had a Great time. I received only two positive comments and one lady even had to touch my shoes to make sure she wasn't dreaming. She stuck around for the whole night. The Hotel Manager and her Assistant never said anything but then I am a frequent traveler to this property. The evening went very well. Thank You all for the nice comments. And HAPPY HEELING everyone. Henri If you haven't learned something new today; you have wasted the day.
Bubba136 Posted February 24, 2010 Posted February 24, 2010 Was the reception given by the hotel management or the management of your company ? (the company that you work for?) If it was given by the hotel, I can understand why you were not overly concerned about showing up wearing your heels. Glad that it was a success and that things went well for you....... Being mentally comfortable in your own mind is the key to wearing heels in public.
BCBG Posted February 24, 2010 Posted February 24, 2010 Sounds like a great time. With people from all over the country attending, I think it will open some minds to wearing of heels. The shoes looked great!
HappyFeat Posted February 24, 2010 Posted February 24, 2010 Glad to hear the manager's reception went well and that you had fun. It is always nice to receive female attention while wearing heels isn't it. I am quite jealous that you got to spend over six hours in heels! Don't know the last time I was able to have such an extended outing. Style is built from the ground up!

OH THAT'S TOO BAD !!! Henry Well done Henri - a star for us to look up to. Glad that it went well Gingers Rogers did everything Fred Astair did .. but backwards and in heels
Steve63130 Posted February 26, 2010 Posted February 26, 2010 Very inspiring, Henri. Would you mind telling us what hotel and what city? A lot of us travel a bit and would love to meet you if we're there when you are. And if not, well, the manager has seen it once - he'll see it again on another guy! That's a trend, isn't it? Anyway, well done! Steve
Henri Posted February 26, 2010 Author Posted February 26, 2010 The Hilton Garden Inn in Freeport Maine. The Manager has been seeing me in heels every week for the last 20 months. She wears Stiletoes also. Thanks Henri If you haven't learned something new today; you have wasted the day.
Henri Posted February 26, 2010 Author Posted February 26, 2010 It was a Reception by the Hotel. But we had others from my Company there also. It definitely was an interesting evening. Thanks Henri If you haven't learned something new today; you have wasted the day.
roniheels Posted February 26, 2010 Posted February 26, 2010 Henri ... Congratulations on a very successful evening. Those are very pretty high heels and I am so happy that you received positive feedback. You said you received two positive comments. Were there any negative comments made to you? Or did you just get "the look" and whispers?
danielp6406 Posted February 27, 2010 Posted February 27, 2010 Well done Henri ! Shoes are very nice. The light blue jeans with the black shoes is a perfect match.
johnieheel Posted February 27, 2010 Posted February 27, 2010 Great looking heels! The 2 positive comments are worth a million to most, if not all of us. Thanks for sharing Henri. real men wear heels
Gary Posted February 27, 2010 Posted February 27, 2010 Henri, Excellent experience! Beautiful heels! Thank you for sharing! Gary
Dawn HH Posted February 28, 2010 Posted February 28, 2010 Henri:-) Glad that your event went so well for you. That is a great pair of heels that you wore. Did you wear hose with them or did you go barefoot? I would think that an affair such as that would demand the wearing of hose with such a lucious pair of heels. Of course the hotel manager and assistant manager wouldn't say anything about your heels as you are such a frequent flyer on their property. Cheers--- Dawn HH High Heeled Boots Forever!
Henri Posted February 28, 2010 Author Posted February 28, 2010 I did not receive any negative comments and I did not pick up on any looks or snickers. I travel there weekly and never wear male shoes, I am always in High Heels for the entire hotel stay. Thanks to all for the positive comments. Henri If you haven't learned something new today; you have wasted the day.
Dawn HH Posted March 1, 2010 Posted March 1, 2010 Henri:-) You really know how to travel in style. Congrats. Your heels look magnico on you. Wouldn't mind a pair in my collection. Cheers--- Dawn HH High Heeled Boots Forever!
HappyinHeels Posted March 6, 2010 Posted March 6, 2010 Henri, That's cool to see that this establishment has treated you so well-perhaps a caring open-minded woman that wants to make others feel accepted and apprecaited or perhaps just good business sense. A place that charges two C-notes or more per night HAD BETTER be working to earn your continued business. HappyinHeels
Henri Posted March 7, 2010 Author Posted March 7, 2010 The Manager gives me a HIGH HEEL Discount. I only pay 1 C-note. Henri If you haven't learned something new today; you have wasted the day.
Bernheels Posted March 7, 2010 Posted March 7, 2010 Henri: I travel too and always have my heels with me. I have not had the courage to wear them out in the open like you do. I do sales and have to meet a lot of customers. Not sure that would go well if they saw me in high heels? How did you get past this feeling? Bernheels
Henri Posted March 9, 2010 Author Posted March 9, 2010 I have a new experience facing me tonight. You all know that I travel weekly and stay at the same hotel. Well the Owner of this porperty and a few others has asked that I do a Presentation of Energy Saving Lights. I do have some in my van and will do the Presentation tonight. In attendance he pland on having management from the six properties and himself. I only brought two pairs of shoes ( I wore one into the hotel and the other in my suitcase.) see below. I I have selected the Peep Toe Pumps with Black Slacks and Company Shirt. I will update tomorrow. Henri If you haven't learned something new today; you have wasted the day.
Smudgeur Posted March 9, 2010 Posted March 9, 2010 They look great Henri - congratulation both on your choice of shoes and your courage to wear them in public
whynotheels Posted March 9, 2010 Posted March 9, 2010 Henri: I hope my legs look that good at 67! So what is your job? Do you see clients on these weekly trips? Do the people at your company know about your heels?
