Bubba136 Posted November 5, 2003 Posted November 5, 2003 As someone once remarked to me....."there's over 40 and then there's over 40 -- like 100 -- 60 years over 40." While only 47 myself, I've seen some really "washed-out" people my age -- saying this as I feel the same as I did when I was 20 or 25. Being mentally comfortable in your own mind is the key to wearing heels in public.
Anita C. Posted November 5, 2003 Author Posted November 5, 2003 So TRUE, Bubba! Age should be a point of reference only! I'm WAY over 40 and to be honest I have NO DESIRE WHATSOEVER to be 25 again! Unless I could take my experienced mind with me. I dated a 25 y/o "Hottie" for about 2 weeks. While easy on the eye, there was no common ground. In the end we parted as friends but admit that a relationship would have been a mistake. After the sex, you gotta be able to talk about something! Consequently, I don't date anyone under 40. 'Tis fun to look, tho! "Spike Heels . . a Pork-pie hat . . Have on the mend in no time flat . . Ten Minutes 'Till The Savages Come by Manhatten Transfer.
Dawn HH Posted June 15, 2004 Posted June 15, 2004 AnitaC.:-) I'm w-a-a-a-y over 40 and I sure wouldn't want to be 25 again, experience or not. As a matter of fact---I would not want to return to 40 again. That was the age that my parts started to fail. (Appendix). I'm quite happy where I am in life at the present time and will let someone else invent a time machine, not me. Cheers--- Dawn HH High Heeled Boots Forever!

Well, I'm nowhere near Bubba and DawnHH, but at 41, I'm definately in that "close to 'ya" range you mentioned. Problem is, this is the "For the gals" thread, so why the hell are only guys answering????????????????????????????????????????????
Dr. Shoe Posted June 15, 2004 Posted June 15, 2004 Same here. Graduate footwear designer able to advise and assist on modification and shoe making projects.
WarrenB Posted June 16, 2004 Posted June 16, 2004 51 here and will be 52 in Sept. Men are from Mars, Women are from Venus, I'm from the Earth.Now wearing HH Penny Loafers full time.
Dawn HH Posted June 17, 2004 Posted June 17, 2004 WarrenB.:-) Your a "Young-Buck". I think Emery and I are the oldest posters here. He is already 70, and I will be starting my new decade in October at 70. Yeh! Where are the girls? Anita C. isn't afraid to tell her age, and Lucy has mentioned hers before. Maybe the girls don't want anyone to know theirs. Age is a relative thing. I get up in the morning and if I don't see my name in the "Obits", then I eat a hardy breakfast and go to work. Tee-Hee!

Lucy Posted June 17, 2004 Posted June 17, 2004 Yes Dawn, to re-iterate my age, I am now 59 and still enjoying regularly wearing stiletto heels of 5" and over, and Mummy is in her eighties and often wearing heels between 3" and 4". Unlike me (see my Story in the "Stories on a Heely Theme" thread), Mummy has never gone above 4", even when she was younger. But don't just take our instance - look at Tina Turner, Lulu, Cher, Sophia Loren, Margaret Thatcher, Queen Elizabeth the Queen Mother, Barbara Windsor etc. etc. You're never too old to stay glamorous and to wear high heels! Love, Lucy Life is not a rehearsal. Why not use it to present ourselves as smartly and attractively as possible?
Dawn HH Posted June 18, 2004 Posted June 18, 2004 Lucy:-) Fabulous! You and your Mummy certainly are a part of a very elite and famous group of women who wear high heels. I have been wearing heels for 58 years and like your Mummy I haven't gone above 4" not even when I was young. Mickey68 and I applaud you for being able to wear 5" and above daily. More power to you. I am woman---watch me roar! Cheers--- Dawn HH High Heeled Boots Forever!
