Yamyam Posted June 30, 2003 Share Posted June 30, 2003 I'd wear those in my rank picture. Definitely. And I worked hard to get them, so I'd be pretty damn happy in them too!

Bubba136 Posted June 30, 2003 Share Posted June 30, 2003 What's wrong with Bert and HS's sandals? They're decent heels. I've a pair almost the same and I wear them.

Laurieheels Posted July 1, 2003 Share Posted July 1, 2003 There's some old quote about begging and not choosing. Well, the kitten heeled slings in the picture are nice enough that I would wear them. Just because I can be a stiletto goddess and the envy of other girls, doesn't mean I have to wear the highest heels I can handle all of the time. And anyone who says different, well, that threatens my freedom, so, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rockpup Posted July 3, 2003 Share Posted July 3, 2003 Not sure if I'd wear the kittens.. Just not my style I guess.. I'm more of a high heel pumps or boots kinda guy Of course the last times I've been out in public wearing heels includes doing wheelies on my bike with 3" chunky heel boots, and wearing my ballet boots to a club. *shrug* I may be willing to try the oxfords though.

Yamyam Posted July 4, 2003 Share Posted July 4, 2003 ...... Says Yamyam in with Debbie's 6 inch Oxfords as an avatar Well, uh, I'd wear them, certainly.

High Surprise Posted July 4, 2003 Share Posted July 4, 2003 I know Yamyam - I said what I said with a big smile on my face knowing how hard you have worked since comfy loafer days. I'm trying to keep up with your hard work too he he Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Heelfan Posted July 4, 2003 Share Posted July 4, 2003 I think I did the same as ALL of you: During my initial postings I was lumbered with the dreaded comfy loafer (I'd like to get hold of the sadist who cunningly chose THAT one!) without knowing I could lift myself on to better and higher things. In fact, I was just about to commit suicide due to the sheer shame of being associated with that DREADFUL monstrosity when luckily I happened upon a megaforum page (I forget where it is now) that gave a chart of our progress into higher and higher stuff and the real business! Very cunning indeed! There's method in the mind of that apparent sadist! So, all of us, ONWARDS AND UPWARDS! Cheers, Heelsfan. Onwards and upwards!

micha Posted July 4, 2003 Share Posted July 4, 2003 Hi to all, my second avatar is nearly an exact copy of my own beloved varnish stilettos. That's the reason why I choosed this pic as my personal avatar. I still remember the times when my forum avatar were those ugly "comfy loafers". Eeeehhh micha The best fashion is your own fashion!

Laurieheels Posted July 7, 2003 Share Posted July 7, 2003 Laurie - I've been meaning to ask for a while: Is that a picture of you in the avatar? Yes, that is me, although the shirt is not the most flattering. My sister has a really good picture of me somewhere... The picture was taken a long tiome ago (now) and the car belongs to Chris. He'll have that red Mustang for about three m,ore days before he trades for a convertible. Yes, black soft top, cruising around in style, my hair blowing in the wind... Since we're looking to borrow the web camrea, it might be time for a new rank picture. That picture was taken on the way to a place called Bragg Creek, in Alberta. I am wearing 5.5 inch white stilettos, naturally. I have no idea where the original picture is located right now, but maybe I can find it and make sure it is scaled for web viewing. And then post a follow up with the new car? We can only hope... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Firefox Posted July 7, 2003 Share Posted July 7, 2003 Yes that's it. Good work Racoon. I think I cut down the pictiure and resized it for the avatar, but the original is very nice . I think it is a flattering pic. Casual outfit, natural pose, pretty smile, nice car. All in all better than what I see 99.9% of the time so it has to be a winner.

Laurieheels Posted July 8, 2003 Share Posted July 8, 2003 The job hunt is awful. I am thinking about setting up a donation box somewhere. And it's not a tumor! Er, I mean avatar! It's my rank picture! But thank you, I do appreciate the compliment. I am hoping to get a new one very soon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bubba136 Posted July 8, 2003 Share Posted July 8, 2003 Laurie: While you're waiting to find a job, why not start your own business. Take stock of your strengths and marketable skills. Decide which would be most in demand, prepare a brochure and pass them out. I'm sure someone will hire you on a per job basis. A business acquaintance of mine was "downsized" as a result of his company's belt tightening. He had no luck landing another job and was really discouraged because he felt no one would hire him again because of his age (over 50). I worked with him for a couple of days and we developed a strategy for his own business. He passed his brochures out to about 100 different businesses in our area and after a few days, landed several commissions. Oh, the area he chose to concentrate was office and business administration. Records management, setting up filing systems, etc. (He never did find another job. He quit looking once his part time business grew into full time job.) Now, a couple of years later, he's hired book keepers, computer people, data entry clerks and several other skills that people occasionally use but either can't afford to hire or don't need on a full time basis. Perhaps you could do something like that while you continue looking for other work. Being mentally comfortable in your own mind is the key to wearing heels in public.

Laurieheels Posted July 8, 2003 Share Posted July 8, 2003 My skills... hrm. Cooking (catering industry is already filled with people) Typing (there are lots of positions for this, all offering very low pay) Writing (my goal, which I will work towards but it takes a few years. Wearing heels (what kind of hbusiness could I get into with that?) It would be wonderful to be able to put together my own business. But I have nothing to put into the business, and there will be some very lean times as I try to do whatever it is I will do before I can manage to make money. By then, things will be very bad. I am not trying to be negative, I am just pointing out that right now, I just need someone to hire me, treat me with respect, and pay me at least half of what I am worth. It still feels impossible.
