JeffB Posted September 12, 2004 Posted September 12, 2004 I saw this shoe on the Frederick's of Hollywood website: I must say that I've never seen such an exotic looking shoe (called "The Asian Inspired Pump") before. I don't where or when you'd wear a shoe like this, but it certainly is intruiging! And VERY pretty! I don't want to LOOK like a woman, I just want to DRESS like a woman!
highheellover Posted September 12, 2004 Posted September 12, 2004 what a nice shoe. Girls and heels rock.
JeffB Posted September 12, 2004 Author Posted September 12, 2004 I agree! Upon further review, I'm of the opinion that a pump like that would work best at a party, a black tie function or any other sort of after five social setting. I doubt if even I could pull off wearing shoes like those at the office! I don't want to LOOK like a woman, I just want to DRESS like a woman!
Bubba136 Posted September 13, 2004 Posted September 13, 2004 they would be a bit over the top for wearing at the office....unless you were going out for wine, cheese and art shortly after work. But then you'd have to wear a dress appropriate for your evening social gathering. Being mentally comfortable in your own mind is the key to wearing heels in public.
unknown Posted September 13, 2004 Posted September 13, 2004 I have a pair of those in red. So beautiful. I guess I'll have to get a new skirt pic with those shoes.
unknown Posted September 13, 2004 Posted September 13, 2004 P.S. I have a pair of these on the way....
Dr. Shoe Posted September 13, 2004 Posted September 13, 2004 Achilles was selling those for £9.99 a pair about 2 years ago. Graduate footwear designer able to advise and assist on modification and shoe making projects.
JeffB Posted September 13, 2004 Author Posted September 13, 2004 P.S. I have a pair of these on the way.... WOW! Those are stunning! What sort of outfit would you wear with those shoes? I don't want to LOOK like a woman, I just want to DRESS like a woman!
highheellover Posted September 13, 2004 Posted September 13, 2004 I think those pumps would be nice for a party or to wear just around the house. Girls and heels rock.
JeffB Posted September 14, 2004 Author Posted September 14, 2004 I'd opt for a party. I mean, if I were to buy a pair of shoes like those, I'd like to be seen in 'em! I don't want to LOOK like a woman, I just want to DRESS like a woman!
Heelfan Posted September 14, 2004 Posted September 14, 2004 Ask Dr. Shoe if Achilles has any left for sale at nine quid! Cheerfully yours, Heelfan Onwards and upwards!
Dawn HH Posted September 14, 2004 Posted September 14, 2004 JeffB:-) O.K. Jeff, I'd like you to come up with an out-fit to go along with either pair of shoes to wear to the office. Seriously, they are definitely not for the office, (Jeff says, WHEW! Got out of that one, didn't I). Both pairs are really exotic and pretty if you would have an out-fit that would match. They are definitely not for me, that's for sure. But, if anyone likes them enough to order them, be my quest. Cheers--- Dawn HH High Heeled Boots Forever!
Jaral2 Posted September 14, 2004 Posted September 14, 2004 Probaly I would not buy them, but It could be a very nice present to get.
Bubba136 Posted September 14, 2004 Posted September 14, 2004 they are way too "girlie" (feminine) in my opinion. There isn't an outfit that a man could wear with them that wouldn't scream "crossdresser" and, perhaps, cast you in an entirely different light with co-workers. More importantly, with members of their families that mightn't be as familiar with you're unorthodox taste in footwear. Being mentally comfortable in your own mind is the key to wearing heels in public.
Dawn HH Posted September 15, 2004 Posted September 15, 2004 JeffB:-) Bubba136 has reinforced what I said in a previous post. DON'T wear them at the office. A party, clubbing, or for use around the house might be more prudent. By all means, preserve your reputation at the office. You can only rock the apple cart so much before disaster strikes. Cheers--- Dawn HH High Heeled Boots Forever!
unknown Posted September 15, 2004 Posted September 15, 2004 I'm sure Jeff could make it work. Too feminine? Sorry, but that's just :rofl: funny to me.
Dawn HH Posted September 15, 2004 Posted September 15, 2004 Unknown:-) The issue of whether Jeff could do it or not would be totally up to him as he knows full well how far he can or can not push the envelope. If "Too Feminine" tickles your funny-bone, how about the new phrase that ARNAULD has coined recently---"Girlie Man". Cheers--- Dawn HH High Heeled Boots Forever!
JeffB Posted September 15, 2004 Author Posted September 15, 2004 The issue of whether Jeff could do it or not would be totally up to him as he knows full well how far he can or can not push the envelope. Well, there are boundaries even I won't cross! Besides, pumps as pretty as those are made for after hours and fancy parties where I can kick up my (high) heels and dance until dawn, not the dull, boring surroundings of the office! I don't want to LOOK like a woman, I just want to DRESS like a woman!
Dawn HH Posted September 16, 2004 Posted September 16, 2004 JeffB:-) I'm sure you are wise enough to know when to "Zig" and when to "Zag" when it comes to those boundaries. You have been wearing heels to the office for what now---2 years? I'm with you, those shoes are for dancing the night away, not office work. Have you ever danced in heels? I have, quite a few times. I enjoyed being able to do that. Cheers--- Dawn HH High Heeled Boots Forever!
JeffB Posted September 16, 2004 Author Posted September 16, 2004 JeffB:-) Have you ever danced in heels? I have, quite a few times. I enjoyed being able to do that. Cheers--- Dawn HH Well, not in public, only in private, but it is fun. Perhaps if I ever stop being a couch potato and go out, I'll do that in public! I don't want to LOOK like a woman, I just want to DRESS like a woman!
Aly Posted September 16, 2004 Posted September 16, 2004 If "Too Feminine" tickles your funny-bone, how about the new phrase that ARNAULD has coined recently---"Girlie Man". Cheers--- Dawn HH Actually, Dawn, Arnold didn't coin that phrase; he "borrowed" it from a Dana Carvey skit on SNL Aly Wealth is not measured by how much you have, but rather how little you need.

Even so, it makes the later comments that much more amusing.
Dawn HH Posted September 17, 2004 Posted September 17, 2004 JeffB:-) Women dance in heels all of the time. Try it some time in public. It is great fun and shows everybody that you have the command to control wearing heels just as good as any woman. Aly:-) I stand corrected as I had forgotten that fact. Thanks. Unknown:-) My posting was meant to be in a jockular mood and I am glad that you found it amusing. Thanks. Cheers--- Dawn HH High Heeled Boots Forever!

Well, if I can ever get over being a total couch potato and go out at night, I might just try that sometime! :rofl: I don't want to LOOK like a woman, I just want to DRESS like a woman!
Dawn HH Posted September 19, 2004 Posted September 19, 2004 JeffB:-) Couch-potatoe, Smouwch-potatoe. Get off of you *** and get yourself out in public and.....MINGLE. Cheers--- Dawn HH High Heeled Boots Forever!
JeffB Posted September 19, 2004 Author Posted September 19, 2004 JeffB:-) Couch-potatoe, Smouwch-potatoe. Get off of you *** and get yourself out in public and.....MINGLE. Cheers--- Dawn HH As you command! :rofl: I don't want to LOOK like a woman, I just want to DRESS like a woman!
Dawn HH Posted September 20, 2004 Posted September 20, 2004 JeffB:-) Not a command. Im just trying to spur you forward so you can broaden your horizons. Cheers--- Dawn HH High Heeled Boots Forever!
highheellover Posted September 20, 2004 Posted September 20, 2004 yea Jeff you can do it. Girls and heels rock.
JeffB Posted September 20, 2004 Author Posted September 20, 2004 Then I will do the very best that I can. And provide a pic to display! I don't want to LOOK like a woman, I just want to DRESS like a woman!
