las Posted September 22, 2010 Posted September 22, 2010 Hi all! I've been actively browsing the site for a couple of years now and got to know a few of you through trading and another at a small meet we held in London last summer for a day. (organised through here, of course) I never really seem to have spoken out much or posted images.... I'm going to slightly fail on that count again today as there isn't a large mirror in this rented place - I'll get by without. Anyway... I finished uni up north and have ended up in Guildford. My love for heels and boots is still with me I bought a couple of pairs via eBay lately; namely some 5" pink (!) metal stiletto boots, the "cheap" pvc kind with laces - aside from my large calves they're quite good. The second pair that arrived last week is the ones you see in the image below - for now it's one of the seller's images. 5.5" heel at the back and 2" platform - probably the best quality shoes I've ever bought. They're in fantastic condition, and synthetic... not shiny. (also a first, hehe) Whilst the seller's description was perfect, it seems my left leg's calf muscle is a whole inch larger than my right! I was quite annoyed to discover this, so as a result the left boot doesn't zip up all the way If anyone has any tips or solutions, that would be cool! I guess the other point of this post is to make it known that I would love to try some more heeling out, London is very accessible over the weekend... hopefully I could last longer than a 10 min walk around a car park! (@LovesHiHeels) Another topic that seems to frequent these lovely boards is the subject of tights! To go with these new boots of mine, I did buy a pair of fishnets and a regular black pair - my first time with something like this and it works really well for boots; got them in the post just today. (I have 3 pairs of boots now and 2 other heels) "" Whilst I think I'd probably enjoy an event linked to us by Cinnamon in the "meetings" subforum, I think the Festival of Sins might be too much of a... challenge I guess. The other point of this thread I guess is to see how many folks may be up for a meet in the near future or could recommend anywhere to go where heeling would be more accepted. And if anyone could provide a suggestion for my dilemma as described above Thanks for reading, and happy heeling always! I really enjoy the enthusiasm and positive attitudes conveyed on these boards, so let's keep it up.
Mr. X Posted September 22, 2010 Posted September 22, 2010 Thanks for reading, and happy heeling always! I really enjoy the enthusiasm and positive attitudes conveyed on these boards, so let's keep it up. Welcome Las. You are right about the positiveness here, generally. I think that is because we are all fighting the same fight. And we all have a common goal. I will enjoy reading about another mans adventure in the world of heeling. As far as your boots go. I am not much of a platform fan myself. But don't let that stop you. As long as you like em that's all that really matters. But again, welcome.
LovesHiHeels Posted September 23, 2010 Posted September 23, 2010 Well Las, you only live 20 miles away me and I'm sure we could sort a heel meet in the near future. I was thinking of going to that club Cinnamon gave us the link to but not sure if I want to go on my own.
acesecret Posted October 5, 2010 Posted October 5, 2010 Heya Las, Im usually up for a meet when i can, i was at the 2009 heelmeet (couldnt make the 2010 one). Especially to meet those around the same age range. I dont know what you meant by the Festival of Sins being a challenge, do you mean confidence wise or distance or so? I only check here once a week or so, but had the idea in my head for anime conventions or a few clubs in camden but open to other ideas. It just depends on how you want to spend your time since youre out in Guildford.
las Posted October 6, 2010 Author Posted October 6, 2010 Yeah confidence-wise for the festival... and I wouldn't know what to wear etc... being 6"2 and wanting to wear nice heels makes me 6"6+ which I think might stick out quite a bit. Am open to try stuff with other people certainly, travel's not a huge issue but I can't drive so would have to use public transport or stay over if it was a further place away over the weekend.
xaphod Posted October 6, 2010 Posted October 6, 2010 Hi, I used to live around that part of the world. Guildford was good for heels (there's a posh shop at the top of the hill near the civic centre which had some quality, but expensive stuff). The only grief was that damn hill and the cobblestones ! I think I'm up for a wander back down to the old stamping ground in the next month or two, so I'll keep an eye out for any heelmeets. Xa
las Posted October 8, 2010 Author Posted October 8, 2010 Hehe yup, damn the cobbles Does anyone have any advice about the calf problem stated in my opening post? Cheers.
