NikkiHH Posted March 23, 2004 Share Posted March 23, 2004 Well after reading all these messages about going out in heels in public and how good it is, I went and did it yesterday. I got on the train up to London and when no-one was looking and when going through a tunnel, I pulled off my trainers and pulled on my three inch block heel knee length boots under my rather long trousers (which you can only see perhaps the bottom inch of heel whilst walking), and braced myself for going for a walk round town. I got off at Charing Cross, very self conscious about the noise of my heels, and walked through the fairly busy concourse (it was nearly rush hour) all the while looking to see if anyone was pointing and gawping, but nothing. I went off behind St. Martins, along to Covent Garden (I had no clue how akward walking on those cobbles are) all around there past groups of teenagers - still nothing. Ok, along and through Soho, occasionally running across roads into the odd shop. Zip. Down to Leicester Square along the Charing Cross Road down to Embankment over the river. (For those of you who know where I'm talking about, those steps are very noisy in heels). By now my feet were a bit sore so I popped into the South Bank Centre and into the loos to change back, and as soon as I walked out I saw a woman wearing what looked like exactly the same pair of boots I had just taken off! I It was a remarkable day all in all. Even more so as when I met up with my girlfriend later on, we were talking about individuality and non-conforming but to cut a long story short - I came out to her. I beared my soul. Told her all about my crossdressing past and going out in public wearing heels and no-one noticing or caring. Her response was amazing - she said she wished she could have spotted something was up sooner (we have been going out 2 years), admittidly it did come as somewhat of a shock but we talked it all through till the wee small hours she seems OK with it all and is glad that I told her. I showed her by boots too, to which she replied "All this time I've been looking for tall boots and you already had a pair!" It goes to show that if people are true friends then thay can see beyond appearance to what really matters - the person that they are.

Robert Posted March 23, 2004 Share Posted March 23, 2004 Congratulations! :drinking: You see? It's no big deal. The traffic makes more noise than your heels. I'm Dutch, but I know where you've been, and it's quite a long walk. I stayed in a hotel near Piccadilly Circus last year and I did a walk from Piccadilly Circus to Leicester Square, to Charing Cross Road, I did Oxford Street twice because I had to go back to the hotel. Later I went to Madame Tussaud's in heels and no one said anything! And I have to say you have a wonderful girlfriend!

new_look Posted March 23, 2004 Share Posted March 23, 2004 the reason why i like london so much. its so busy that noone cares enough to notice anyone else, and you can go about your heeling as much as you want without a care in the world, as i recently have done on a weekend trip. congrats mate by the way. glad your girlfriend accepts it. i remember my own joy when jade wasnt bothered. ps, the board does help and encourage a great deal, illustrating everyone elses escapades and experiences, but im sure youve figured out, its your own determination to do what you want that you have to thank for breaking the ice, more so than us members! daz Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NikkiHH Posted March 23, 2004 Author Share Posted March 23, 2004 I can't believe I lived in London for three years and didn't do this earlier! Its true that when you are in London no-one gives a monkeys, Daz! Determination and only a small blister later - well worth it, but maybe I'll try lower heels for a while.......nah.

Dawn HH Posted April 2, 2004 Share Posted April 2, 2004 NikkiHH:-) Congratulations on your first heeling adventure on the streets of your town as it sounds like you had a long and enjoyable walk. It is good that you told your girlfriend about being a CD and wearing heels. It seems that she will go along with it and who knows---she may borrow your boots instead of getting her own pair. Cheers--- Dawn HH High Heeled Boots Forever! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Heelfan Posted April 2, 2004 Share Posted April 2, 2004 Hello Nikki, and WELL DONE! It's a glorious and liberating feeling isn't it? Hope we can look forward to seeing you on our future UK Heel-Meets - see under "Real Life Meetings". Hello FGWJON! Hope to read a report of your new experiences collecting train tickets in heels at Pewsey. Your report of your conversation with the lady passenger last time you were there was hilarious! Fraid I won't be there myself, because as I posted on "Real Life Meetings", I'm having to put my heely adventures on hold until the end of June because we're currently concentrating on the closing-down sale of our large shop. After that I'll be hyper-heel-active again! Anyway - have a good one! Cheerfully yours, Heelfan Onwards and upwards! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
verngentleheels Posted April 8, 2004 Share Posted April 8, 2004 Its all a matter of confidence and location. Tonight I was at a bar with karioke and I had the highest heels in the place - male or female. No second looks - just part of the scene. Wheeeee!

Firefox Posted April 8, 2004 Share Posted April 8, 2004 For London substitute the UK. London is one of the best places, but in reality you don't get much reaction anywhere. I'm glad you did it anyway, Nikki ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
