We sure are. And we are not uniform, there is a large spektrum from the far (violent) left to the far (violent) right. We even have a large Jewish Community living in Germany despite what happened in the past. In fact my father grandfather was jewish, so my father was not drafted (he was called "not worth to serve") into the Wehrmacht. Instead he was pressed into forced labour, taken from school one day without even noticing my grandmother. He then build bunkers for the Atlantic Wall in France, living like a prisoner with no contact to the outer world. My Grandmother did not know he was alive until he showed up after the war. So if your father or grandfather stormed a bunker at Omaha Beach it was build by my father .....

But despite our widespread spektrum of hardliners most of us are kind of middle class, not to many poor people, not to many rich people, which makes living along quite easy in this country. I am not proud of being german, i did nothing to become one. But i consider myself lucky to be born in a country which is functioning quite well and in a climate which is not to extreme, but still has spring, summer, autumn and winter.

One of my grandfathers had to live under Japanese occupation in Indonesia, the other was pressed into forced labor by the Germans too, having to work in factories getting bombed by the Allies. Ironically he always spoke highly of his treatment at the hands of the Germans. He wasn't that pleased about the Allies that liberated him. Apparently they robbed him of some things.

In the end though the past, while it shapes us, is the past. Blaming people for what their grandfathers or great grandfathers did long ago is counterproductive. Unless they did something truly despicable that is still being glorified today. And I hope you got it that when I said that Germans are weird I meant in regards to WW2. Not wanting to wear certain clothes because they look 'militaristic' is 'weird'. And Germany's reluctance as the largest strongest European country and economy to build and maintain a proper military is causing a major European imbalance. No one is expecting the Germans to invade Poland or others again. But the lack of a strong German military at the heart of the EU is making the EU weak to other nations and over reliant on the US. And I think you guys deserve to be proud of modern day Germany. From the ashes of the Third Reich you guys built a nice country that half of the Middle East and Africa wants to live in, with strong democratic institutions, and a country that the entire EU looks up to for leadership. It could have gone a LOT worse. Look at the former countries of the USSR. Pride in your country or all forms of patriotism and nationalism =/= a return of national socialism.

Well, there is a constitution, which was influenced a lot by the allies after the war. That constitution limits our war efforts for a good reason. The Bundeswehr only has the right to defend the own country within its boundaries. The german parliament did a wide stretch and some strange wording  (armed conflict instead of war for example, or "protecting" Germany in Kundus) to enable the sorties in Afghanistan or Croatia or Africa. We, especially the generation born after WWII have been brainwashed to dislike any war effort. But now we are on our (slow) way to increase spending for the armed forces and reshaping them, because what we have was aimed at tank battles with the Warsaw Pact.

Well, I think the US and NATO have been quite keen to have that constitution changed for decades now. Just like the US would welcome a change to Japan's constitution for that same reason. Limiting what the Bundeswehr can do limits its usefulness to the US as an ally. Although it might have been a blessing in disguise preventing you guys to join into some of the US crazy military adventures like Iraq or Syria. Still, knowing that there is a strong capable Bundeswehr in their rear to back them up might make the Poles and the Baltics stop looking for Washington for military protection all the time. Which in turn might make the Russians less nervous.

Hi Folks

So instead of a "Legs and Heels" contest, this year I thought we could hold a "Best Dressed (In heels)" Member contest instead.

  • Max of 1 entry per-month of no more than 2 pictures.
  • No pictures in bedrooms/toilets! (Thats just creepy)
  • Bonus points for full body photo
  • More bonus points if photo is in public.
  • Competition open to all members.
  • No pics of just your feet.
  • Picture must have been taken in 2021.

In Jan 2022 the Winners will be announced.

Hopefully, if the world hasnt destroyed itself by then, I'll be able to send the winner and a runner up a little thank you gift.

Hello Tech, we're still here, who's the winner?

Thanks for that but I really can't compete with Mrs Isolathor (and that goes for the legs thread as well) 

Thank you so much for the compliment!

But i would like to see a male winning this and the other competition. Because you can find tons of pictures of beautiful women in heels on the internet, and it is no problem for them to dress classy and go outside and be seen in these outfits. But it is different for men and from my knowledge (from friends, also from forums like this one) much more difficult to do so. So a male winner would encourage these men.

Crumbs, I'd forgotten all about this due to health issues caused by recent events of the last 2 years...

Will have to go back over the entire thread and give it some careful consideration...

Good entry. Cant tell when it was taken as its been linked to from Reddit as a webp image, so no proof of date taken. (Upload the jpeg here to the thread and the Meta/EXIF info should stay intact)

Still working on my outdoor camera angles.  Today was the second time back at work since last March, been virtual.  Only there for only  a very few minutes to drop something off.  As I was getting back into my car a young male told me "those are some really nice boots, I mean I got my mother boots like that for Christmas - but not as nice, so I know those are really nice". I thanked him and got back into my car and drove off.

Liking this entry. Simply because it looks "Doable" by most, and seems well co-ordinated. Almost like setting a good example 🙂

Totally agree! Knee high boots and higher should be on full show!

A strong candidate here... Good entry. Shame its a "Camera on the floor" view...

Still in the get the logistics/ ankles right, but a wet cold day here, so my leather Nine West Kimy boots and sherpa for today's ZOOM meetings.

Leopard Print... Nope... C'mon, your better than Leopard Print...

Tech : With respect, For this contest The picture here in is the best attire I own .

To qualify for entry I would have to simply have to take the same photo in a different location . So I will leave it here anyway with out expecting to win anything . Leather outfit only . DSCF5379.thumb.JPG.beb7144fb024715d8cf26ff569b65507.JPG

Another great entry... I like this one because its a total dose of "Nothing to see here, everything's fine..... Wait, What??? WTF!" lol... Completely sane with a side order of totally bonkers...

On 2/11/2021 at 2:23 PM, p1ng74 said:

One thing I do like about these overalls is that I can zip up the legs to show a little more of the boots :)

Almost completely hidden. Does anybody ever even notice the footwear? Its good, for being so bland, but also bad for the same reason...

If this photos wins then I'd have to give him a Wheelbarrow to carry his nuts around in... Takes big balls to pull this off 🙂

Hmm, i´m a member, my wife is not. I guess her pictures will not qualify for this challenge?

This could have been a winner if she had posted it herself... Almost just because of the photography and composition...

It's April, and starting to feel like summer here:

Argh, cowboy boots without a horse in sight... That and bare legs with knee high boots... Not sure...

Reapply under a new name and different email address? Its usually faster anyway.

Thats actually the worst thing you can do. I'll see both entries and then have more cleaning up to do. Thats a rapid way to get an instant ban too.

Just the feet. Nope, doesnt count. This could be anybody, anywhere...

If I had to pick a female winner, this one is right up there... The composition, the colours, framing, colour co-ordination, its like a photo-shoot quality image.

I'm not sure what it is exaclty, but a really slim chap in really baggy outfits always looks odd. The bigger the clothes, the more unusual it looks. I'm not saying thats bad or good, just unusual. Especially with the belt too, it kind of amplifies how baggy the overalls really are. You've got a great shape, but seem to keep hiding it away under blankets...

HeleninHeels suggested I post this image photo here . The picture was taken at a doctors office . Surprise, I get a lot of reaction from those places . securedownload_old.thumb.jpg.a030c4fa6821d23c9a23549a99abee9d.jpg

Is it the camera angle or my eyesight, but you look like you cant stand straight in those? Looks uncomfortable / dare I say, unnatural?

lol, the thumbnail of this looks like Jeremy Clarkson... Spray on jeans? Good entry, but lets see something no "Indoors, hidden away"... Go take that picture down the local high street?

And i thought trench coat season died many, many years ago. I haven´t seen a trench coat around here in ages, only in old black and white movies.

Me neither. I think the "Flashers" (People who expose themselves) kinda killed them off...

FYI Tech, whenever I wore my leopard print sherpa pre-pandemic I would have 3-4 males ask where I got it and 2-3 females ask too. It is very warm and cozy. Wore it today in fact.

Cat, I give in! You win! You look great! Plus you are out and about dressed and in heels!

 

Plus I see my picture is gone so perhaps a bit too much! Hell, I was wearing heels!

You posted these pics in the gallery and not into the competition. Maybe Tech will add them to the competition to have more choices.

I did wonder why you hadnt submitted any entries at all last year... Probably would have won hands down, but an entry post-closing date is sadly not allowed.

Imagine how many people will try to then enter again if 1 was allowed to do it... Not a can of worms I want to open... Bloody shame too, 1 of these would have won...

I know EXIF data can be tampered with easily, but we're working on the basis that people here are honest. Am recovering slowly. I can now sit at a computer for a bit now too...

I'm thinking:

Male: SpikesMike

Female: Isolathor's wife, as she is now a member too.

Thoughts / Feedback anybody?
