Seen out and About

[Cali]

I just returned from our spring state-wide convention in a swanky hotel in southern California. One night, last time we where down here, there was a special Bogadi park zone outside that hotel where the convention was held. And there were several cars parked in it. This Friday I saw 50 to 60 4" stilettoes, at least  30 4" block heels, many many tall wedges.  Late teens to old ladies.  High heels are not dead in this area. Many more high heels at the convention than in past years.  More in Cali World later.

I have been seeing more and more heels at work. Mostly 3+inch block heels, but heels none the less.

Still very few along the towpath, although I’m in a town now - about 15,000 population - so perhaps …

Several (4) more tall stilettos at a meeting today, one with spikes.  Only 30 people at the meeting. Been seeing at least 2 tall stilettos every day this week.

Does this mean we are officially in a recession?

I need to see an average of 6 stilettos a day for a recession.  But we are on the way.

I took the day off so I could take care of some things. While I was in the grocery store, I saw an older lady (by older, I mean at least as old as me) wearing OTK snakeskin boots with 3 1/2" block heels and a demin miniskirt. I have no idea who she is, but I have this feeling I've seen her before. I was in no mood for unnecessary interaction on that occasion, so I passed up the opportunity to learn more, despite the fact that I was wearing heels myself.

Sounds like an interesting person! I like her sense of style

Out and about - silly photographer in heels (me). I went out in the evening with my camera and, given the dry weather, and not too rough state of the towpath thought I might just risk wearing heels - in this case ankle boots with 3.5” block heels. The walking wasn’t too bad although complicated by carrying a tripod and with a heavy camera bag slug over one shoulder. The funny part came when I was changing lenses, standing in rough ground in 3.5” heels and bending over to pick out lenses from my bag, on the grass. Especially with a dodgy back. And trying to be quick with the light changing rapidly.

Next time I’ll stay with my low heeled knee boots!

Sometimes I wonder if I ever got the chance to wear heels to work whether I'd regret it or not. I've come to the realization that they're not practical in all situations.

[Shyheels]

Definitely not!

I walked the Avebury Henge and Stone Circles outer henge in ankle boots back in 2019. I also had a damaged peroneal tendon at the time. It was not fun.

[Shyheels]

I'm quite familiar with Avebury and the henge - its a beautiful walk, as is the one out to Silbury Hill but not one that would be advisable in heeled ankle boots!

At least they were block heels, not stilettos.😀
