HHeeler Posted May 17, 2012 Posted May 17, 2012 (edited) I've been here as a guest for a few weeks, taking time to read the threads going back a number of years, actually, to get a feel for what the vibe and viewpoint of this site is. I'm mid forties, married, kids, mortgage, the works. Live in Los Angeles. A life of running and soccer have kept me and my legs in decent enough shape. Currently own about in the neighborhood of 50 pairs of heels. Over a life time I've owned maybe, 150, many which succumbed to the Great Purge of 2006. I own all types, you name it, I've own/owned it, with favorite types really depending upon my mood. For a limited number of hours I can comfortably navigate 6 inch heels stilettos with no platform and can likely run in 5 inch if needed, but never saw the need. Where I seem to differ slightly from the frequent posters I am reading is I am a full heels, short skirt and hose type (no crossdressing desires whatsoever, although I've done "comedy/Halloween" drag to get in some public heeling). The Mrs. knew, maybe knows, but doesn't approve and the issue has gone silent for a number of years. But, again, heels are one thing, the whole bottom half femmed out is another entirely. Add into the equation that I work for a highly conservative, public, business and the Mrs. owns (something like, for the sake of illustration, but not actually) a day care center where we are both known in our community and a whiff of the unusual would create massive financial hits for both of us, and the whole public skirt/heeling thing becomes tricky. I've done it, nevertheless, on occasion in super limited safe out of town, circumstance. I've been told I have decent gams, and I enjoy the confusion/shock created by that. I enjoy the attention as much as I dislike it. Knowing myself, however, the sheer act of joining this board, and the slowly increasing desire, tells me that I'm coming onto another public outing soon. Long winded? Yeah, I can do that from time to time. Any way, thanks for the welcome. Edited May 17, 2012 by HHeeler

Shafted Posted May 18, 2012 Posted May 18, 2012 Glad to see you have taken the time to learn what the forum is all about. As you can see it fits into a niche of heel wearing that no other site gets into. That's what makes it special. Shafted, the boots that is!

jmc Posted May 18, 2012 Posted May 18, 2012 That's not long-winded at all. In fact, your story has elements that a lot of us have lived -- myself included. Welcome Aboard! Have a happy time!
