ilikekicks Posted December 25, 2012 Share Posted December 25, 2012 ( to the theme of jingle bells.. ) Jingle bells, Santa smells.. I punched my brother law in the face. Was the wrong thing to do.. in putting him in his place.. I should record that.. Naw As mentioned in another thread, I didnt make it to the dinner tables at the inlaws as their ' Doctor ' son was being a bit of a problem. I swear, the cock on him to believe hes so much smarter and over intellectually developed then anyone he is forced to ' share the planet with ' ( his comment ). Needless to say, I told the wife to stay and I ( tried ) to split. I could find better company in a trash dumpster then with Darians brother. Unfortunately, the ' Simply walking out option ' was taken away from me. Today, the mother in law ( Janice ) stops by and apologized for her sons behavior. I explained I hold nothing against her or her husband and they have always been kind to me. Her sons short fallings arent due to her nor her husbands influence/upbringings. A while back, when she first met me, we had that interesting discussion on what I was wearing and what was on my feet. She is an avid footware fanatic and has LOTS of shoes. She MIGHT have more then those Kardasians ( spelling of name? ) girls. Maybe not top name brands but quantity wise. A while back when I walked through her ' Shoe Room ' ( no way a 20x30foot room should be called a closet ) to look at the cracks in the walls ( plaster ) that she was looking to have fixed, I was marveling at what all she had and some of the individual items she had.. When I was looking at her ' collection ' she had some AWESOME Vintage 80's style heels that I could REALLY appreciate! What made the appreciation grow even more was this is a woman whom wore all of these shoes. She took notice that I liked the Metal Heeled ' big hair 80's types '. Yep, thats my genre! So.. she came berring a gift for me today that I wasnt even expecting! The 80's porn star shoes! They were all made by Wild Pair and Fredericks of hollywood. These are in almost NEAR MINT condition. I dont have the ankle straps in the pictures but I do have them. The problem is, they havent been worn in over 20 years and they are a bit tight. Im worried about having a cobbler try to stretch 25+yr old patent leather. Sound? I have natural board 1/2 inch oiled/waxed ( semi-unfinished ) floors in my upstairs with real plaster walls and all natural wood surround work thats just oiled and waxed NOT polyurethaned. Sound tends to naturally reverberate. I might try and do a recording later this evening. I have NEVER heard a pair of heels SOUND this good! Merry Christmas to me -Ilk PS: Mother in law just called. Im F-ing STOKED! She has a pair in black ( exact same ) that reads size 11 and I could have those as she doesnt see herself wearing them again! SCORE! REPEATEDLY ARGUMENTATIVE, INSULTING AND RUDE. BANNED FOR LIFE. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted December 25, 2012 Share Posted December 25, 2012 (edited) ILK They are gorgeous! Peace offering? nope, you have a BIG seal of approval there. The son may be an ass and more, she certainly knows it and likes the new boy cos he's got the balls to speak out. I'd say you're winning with two people that count. Good on you. Al Ps Ask her to walk together and listen to the music before she hands them over, one last time. Edited December 25, 2012 by Alsheels Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jimnj3 Posted December 25, 2012 Share Posted December 25, 2012 ILK, That's one heck of a mother in law!!! Too bad about the son's! You'll have to attach a sound clip. Those are some beauties! Enjoy! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yozz Posted December 26, 2012 Share Posted December 26, 2012 When you first posted about this 'fight' I was worried that you had words with Darian. Fortunately it is not that and the outcome sounds very positive. There are always people who think they are the smartest in the world. Quite a few in my profession. One day we had a discussion about it at lunch and one person summed it up very well: "That is very dumb of them because they should know that it is me". Congratulations with a very nice mother in law. Y. Raise your voice. Put on some heels. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ilikekicks Posted December 26, 2012 Author Share Posted December 26, 2012 When you first posted about this 'fight' I was worried that you had words with Darian. Fortunately it is not that and the outcome sounds very positive. I normally wouldnt say this in public.. Darian would kick my ass. I would go as far to say she could beat 3/4ths of the men out there is a fair 1 on 1 matchup with MMA rules. She performed Kata as a young girl and followed on in her 29 years on the planet in other studies. Shes not strong physically, but knows how to throw people around IE: Jujitsu. There are always people who think they are the smartest in the world. Quite a few in my profession. I dont mind people whom know certain things. Theres always someone out there that are smarter then ourselves. Its the individuals whom at every point in conversation feel they just have to appear to be the super-intellectual type and they arent even smart enough to realize the way in which they speak to others is demeaning. They dont even have the dignity to realize that when someone just abruptly gets up to leave without saying anything, that the person leaving is just being polite and not wanting a confrontation. One day we had a discussion about it at lunch and one person summed it up very well: "That is very dumb of them because they should know that it is me". Congratulations with a very nice mother in law. Y. Were taking Janice to dinner today at a small dive. All the crazy drivers are out right now returning things at the stores and a storm is supposed to be heading in. Might have to cancel -Ilk ILK, That's one heck of a mother in law!!! Too bad about the son's! You'll have to attach a sound clip. Those are some beauties! Enjoy! Im looking for a longer XLR cable for my sennheiser mics and stands. Going to record it as ambient sound with room/hallway reverb. REPEATEDLY ARGUMENTATIVE, INSULTING AND RUDE. BANNED FOR LIFE. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr. Shoe Posted December 28, 2012 Share Posted December 28, 2012 So nearly bought a pair of those in 1989. Just couldn't persuade Fredericks to ship them to the UK...

ilikekicks Posted December 29, 2012 Author Share Posted December 29, 2012 So nearly bought a pair of those in 1989. Just couldn't persuade Fredericks to ship them to the UK... What size do you wear? Onwards : So.. I went by the In-Laws and Janice was there to give me the grand tour of her ' shoe store '. It was like walking into a bakers store in the 80's. WildPair, Bakers, Rush Hour, Candies.. You name a brand from the 80's and she has at least 3 of them. Theres Shoe-Store like shelves, 8 of them, and they are all PACKED! There was EASILY 500 pairs of shoes! While trying to find the black pair of Fredericks, I came across a pair of White Shoes. They are made by ' Femme Fetiche '. V-throat, 5.25inch heel with a bronze/metal heel tip. They are absolutely amazing! Im not into the whole ankle strap or monster heels ( be it platforms or heels over 4.5 inches ) but there was just something about this pair of shoes.. She laughed and told me to knock myself out and try on anything so long as it fits.. The sound, on her recently finished hardwood floors.. echoing through her halls.. I think she knew at that moment, she wasnt getting them back. " What will ya give me for em? ". ' How about I fix all the walls in this room? '. " DEAL! ". So.. Saturday, Im picking up a former employee and he and I are going to re-do ALL the walls in the room starting with fresh lath board and new electrical wiring. It took about an hour and we found the black pair of Fredericks. Im kinda heartbroken as they are in.. ' not too good ' shape. They were stored in their box under another box.. The Patent leather has dulled or faded. Maybe someone can help me out on a solution to get the luster back onto these? The Bottoms are in excellent shape and the straps are quite well!. I had to wear the white pair home though! On my way down her front stairs and to my car.. on the dry cement.. that metal heel clacking rang loud as a sound system. A neighbor 3 or 4 houses away stopped and looked in my direction. They werent hard to drive in either! For such a high heel.. they werent hard to walk in! Black pair--> ( any suggestions on how to re-shine these would be most appreciated! ) White pair --> I love the metal tips on these! Janice said they were ' too tall ' for her and she only wore them once, indoors for a very brief time. The bottoms were still ' Store perfect ' till I walked on the pavement today.

AZShoeNut Posted December 29, 2012 Share Posted December 29, 2012 Yes, I agree, your mother in law is awesome. I spent a couple years trying to find a pair like the white ones in the 1990s. Great score for you. :-) Larry Life is short... Wear the bleeping shoes! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ilikekicks Posted December 29, 2012 Author Share Posted December 29, 2012 Update : Scored another pair today while knocking out the walls. Pics later. REPEATEDLY ARGUMENTATIVE, INSULTING AND RUDE. BANNED FOR LIFE. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Puffer Posted December 31, 2012 Share Posted December 31, 2012 Nice shoes. They (or something very similar) are still available today, surely? How high are the heels on the black pair? As to revitalising patent leather, the usual recommendation (with real leather) is to rub in some Vaseline (petroleum jelly). It might not work so well with imitation (PU) patent but will do no harm.
