The Adventures of kneehighs...

[kneehighs]

Interesting how this story evolved. First, this girl and I met through Hot Or Not. Whats interesting is that she did not sign up for the hot or not account, a friend of hers uploaded the pics to the internet for her and activated an account for her as a surprise.

So one day she was clicking through the various pictures of the guys with her mum standing behind her. When she got to my picture, her mum immediately exclaimed, "Click YES on him! He looks like he'd be good for a barrel of fun."

While we were working our way through the tasting menu at Souk Medina, she told me that her mum was quite a conservative and old fashioned individual.

I wonder what her mum would think when she found out what her suggestion actually lead to? Very fun individual she was.

[NewfieGuyInHeels]

Very nice!!! all I have to ask is how you ended up in those vinyl/pvc tights?

[kneehighs]

^ we went to Torture Garden together. The outfit you see me in is the outfit that I wore to the club.

[Pumps]

Great Kneehighs. She is SOOOO cute. Some guys have all the luck:smile: Cool TG outfit. Love the red jacket. Where'd you get it ?

You bad man!!

Dude, sounds like an absolute blast! Fine (and naughty!) looking ladies as well!!

Do you have a picture of your full outfit? From what I've seen, it looks quite good!

Hope you have a good time in Ireland.

[canadianbeaver17]

I guess the forum is no longer G-Rated...haha! I love the pics, kneehigh. I hope she tests your limits!

[downloow]

I wish I´ve had the time to go there as well ( and the courage). Well done. See you next time, maybe. Heeled and laced Eric

[Thighbootguy]

Klunk (the sound of my chin hitting the ground) Sounds and looks like you had a grand time. Why are any of us surprised?

Heels in Dublin: Temple Bar

Check out the local? I don't know the exact temp that night, but it seemed to me that most of the local men would just go out with a t-shirt on!

Something fun happened last night in Barcelona. I went out to Club 13 in the heart of the Gothic Barrio. As I was tired from a long, long day of people watching and sight seeing, I didn't spruce up much for the night: red ruched side INC shirt, shiny Calvin Klein sport jacket, red Zara coat, Seven Jeans (bootcut--eeck!), and Nine West stiletto boots with a 4" heel.

Apparently, the manager of the club liked my shoes. As soon as I walked into the club, I went downstairs to the dance floor bar to get a drink. Then, the manager, who looked like the lead singer from Midnight Oil, came down to me and told me how much he liked my shoes. He held his thumb up and even gave me a little square card good for a free drink. As the bartender was already mixing my drink, he told her to add more liquor to my drink!

About another thirty minutes passed by when a girl with a camera came by and asked if she could take my picture for the Revive La Noche (bring back the night) web site. I said sure and you can see my "drab" outfit HERE.

After I finished my one cocktail, I went home, alone, and fell fast asleep. Barcelona is indeed a great city...

[BobHH]

Barcelona is indeed a beautiful and scenic place. Here's a photo of La Sagrada Familia I took in November 1999. Not quite as much finished as in your photo. That's the BW (Beautiful Wife, sob) under the umbrella at the right (not a good likeness).

[HeelD]

Sounds like you're having a great time in Barcelona KH. Cool about getting your picture taken and on the club's website - both top half and heels! I'd like to visit Barcelona and will consider this club for a drink or too when I visit (it looks quite laid back). I love the shoes on the first girl BTW - she looks cute too!

[kneehighs]

BobHH Sounds like you've done a fair share of traveling yourself too. Fortunately, it wasn't snowing when I was there. It was warm enough to rent a bike to ride around, which really sped up the learning curve for me.

HeelD Yeah, the crowd was laid back. For a Monday night I consider myself lucky to have even discovered that place though.

[kneehighs]

Great night out again. It seemed like everything was clicking in my favor tonight. The first thing I did was sit at the bar and order a pizza. Within a few minutes, this girl for whom this pic doesn't do justice, struck up a conversation with me. We didn't talk about heels, but we did have some good laughs.

As you can see, the scenery was excellent Not too much later on in the night, I started to get impatient standing at one spot talking with just one female. So I started to walk around a bit. Up by the entrance, I met some girl who was doing work on her cell phone. I challenged her with the usual "my shoes are pointier than yours line." Of course she looked down and agreed. All she said was ,"your wearing some really pointy shoes then" When I realized that she failed to see the 4" stiletto heel on my boot, I pointed it out to her. Her reaction was the classic shock, "Oh my god." as she bent her face down to within inches of my heels. "you're wearing stilettos!" I said, "Yeah, what are you wearing?" And she volunteered her shoe up against mine and showed me her kitten heels to which I playfully replied, "you're cheating".

"But why stilettos??" she asked. I said, "Why not? Why should women have all the fun. Go into any shoe store for women and its like heaven with three or four different walls of selection to choose from. Go into a mans shoe store, typically the range of choice goes down and they are boring" Then she asked again later on in the conversation, "but why stilettos?" So I fed her some other lines, "they make my otherwise short legs appear longer, they make me walk more elegantly, they make my posture better...why? Does the entire outfit look okay??" To which she said, "Yes!" "So you would have never noticed unless I had pointed it out to you then?" She said, "yeah, I wouldn't have noticed it!" And with that, we ended our conversation as her friends returned from coat check with her coat to leave.

Passing time between conversation was eye candy for any stiletto lover. Soon, I saw this beauty dancing next to the DJ. She must have been from Europe and stood at least 6' tall. True beauty at its finest. For the moment though, I'll refer to her later.

I did wind up talking in depth to two other women this evening. One was from Slovakia. We wound up doing more than talking and she totally loved my boots. Funny thing is that the friend she came with was into fetish stuff. She told me her friend was married, a swinger, and made special trips to the UK and Germany for fetish parties. In fact, she told me her friend had a special room built into her house to cater to her fetish interests. This surprised me a bit...I guess you never know who is into the scene. The Slovakian became a bit too clingy for me and within an hour I was finding myself feeling trapped and a bit impatient. Argghh.. time to move to more fun.

So I went and stood by the dance floor. Within a few minutes, a German girl started to give my non verbal signals she was interested in meeting me. The first? She danced right in front of me. The second? She looked at me out of the side of her eyes and when I looked at her, she would smile and look down. The third? When she made eye contact with me, she started to caress and comb her hair. It was like this just fell into my lap. We talked a bit and within about 20 minutes, she had to leave. She asked if she could stay with me for the night...I said not today (I don't reallly believe in one night stands in NYC...its easy enough to meet new women, but you never know what kind of psycho, weirdo, or stranger you might be letting into your house).

Back to the tall 6' beauty. At the coat check on my way out, she came up right behind me. So I looked at her shoes(on the left) and said, "finally, someone with shoes as pointy as mine!"

She looked at my shoes and said, "Yeah, but mine are much higher!"

(I almost choked laughing) to which I replied, "Oh really" as I held up my 4" stiletto heel she held up her heel naturally to compare. "Ha!" she replied...it was classic as she totally laughed about it.

The Meat Packing District on weekends is really a stiletto lovers paradise.

Yo, kneehighs! You certainly do get around, AND meet the most fascinating people! For a hopeless couch potato who never leaves the house at night (the lure of my HDTV is simply too irresistable! Heh!), reading your exploits is definitely entertaining. And the conversations you have with girls about shoes and heels is priceless! As for the blonde in the first pic, she kinda looks like Kirsten Dunst from the Spider-Man movies. Kinda. But maybe it's just my imagination. Anyhoo, more mpower to you, my friend!

[canadianbeaver17]

Another crazy night and some sweet pics! How do you do it without a wingman? lol (like the movie Swingers)

[kneehighs]

^ Hmm, maybe I should look into working with admirer5577 on this?

Here are a few more pics from last night:

And here, here, here,

here, and here.

Oh my Goth, this purple shirt is gorgeous! I hope I'll get a simmilar one soon, because I really love the colour. Especially if it had French cuffs and a stand-up collar .

[-dp-]

hey kneehighs, it's been a long time since i've logged back on here and i never grow tired of your stories in the city. glad to see you're still doing your thing...

[bob2hh]

Dear KH,

Greetings from a street-heeler from Barcelona. Original.

I happen to live not too far to Sagrada Familia, so I got quite shocked to realize you were here so close, and the next answer with a view I see every day when I wake up !!!

Take for granted that I would not have missed to at least try to meet you in person, we would have had a very funny time.

This is what happens when you read this excellent forum too much from time to time.

This city is very tolerant; I am just coming back from shopping in the city centre and almost nobody gives a toss about heeling. I took the underground and the bus back home; I am quite sure that only one lady noticed and she gave me a beautiful smile. Usual boots: Wedge-style boots (solid as rocks, you can walk on every floor on these) 5 inch heel. Good leather quality, they fit fine and are a pleasure to be worn.

Normality is the key attitude. Somebody will think you have a peculiar taste in footwear, but absolutely nothing more than this.

Again, it would have been very nice meeting you.

Hasta la proxima ! (Till next time)

Regards,

^ It would have been a pleasure to meet you! Perhaps you will be able to make it to our next Annual World Heel Meet 2008 though? It will be in London and should be relatively easy for you to make it.

[kneehighs]

He, he this afternoon was fun.

I spent part of the afternoon shopping in SOHO. Stopped at French Connection, DKNY, Ben Sherman and a few other retailers. While I was walking up Greene street, I was daydreaming about my goals: how one day I would like my picture to be taken for a streetstyle section in a paper, magazine, or online site.

Anyhow, the first thing I did when I turned right on Prince was walk into Ben Sherman. As I was walking out, I saw This beauty walk in. Wow! She looked amazing!

I had to stop and wait for her outside so I could get a chance to talk to her. Anyhow, while I was standing on a stoop waiting for her to come out of Ben Sherman, an Asian girl with a camera, alot of lenses, and a notebook came up to me. She said, "excuse me, but do you mind if I take your picture? I'm taking pictures for a Japanese magazine."

Wow...how about that for fulfilling your goals--the law of attraction kicked in right away this time. I said, "Sure, go ahead!" The only thing that made me feel uncomfortable is that other people on the sidewalk had to stop and watch what she was taking a picture of. She took a couple of pictures, asked me where I bought my clothes, and took down my email address. Hopefully, it winds up in a streetstyle section of a magazine somewhere in Japan.

Sadly, I was only wearing flat Nine West knee high boots with my pants tucked into them (no heels). Anyhow, when the first beauty walked out of Ben Sherman, I ran up to her and started to chat with her. She said that she noticed my boots when she was walking in the door and told herself, "He has an Awesome pair of boots!"

After talking with this really friendly beauty, I decided to get some lunch at the Mercer Kitchen. As I was being hosted to my table, the guy was walking me to my table downstairs said, "nice boots, where did you get them?"

He, he...granted I was just wearing flats, but I was surely on a roll today.

My next goal will be to specify that I get my picture taken while wearing heels. I really think I can get it done.

[kneehighs]

Another Saturday passed in Manhattan and many fun things happened. First off, I met some old friends for dinner. We met at a Philipino restaurant for dinner and it was delicious.

Then the fun in stiletto pumps began. I wore a pair of black shiny straight leg trousers from French Connection, a grey shirt with a neck tie ribbon from French Connection, and a pair of 4" black stiletto pumps from Nine West:

Can you guess which shoes are mine in the picture above?

If not, what about the picture below?

Here is another picture of what it looked like at the club. Here is a candid picture of me. I look awful in this picture, but you can get a feel for what I looked like this evening.

Whats interesting is that I chatted up a guy from London. There is no way he could have talked with me for an hour without seeing my stilettos, as I took trips to the bathroom and he could see my full body image from afar. My point is that since I acted like my stilettos were normal, he did too. Guys can even be accepting, depending on our own level of confidence and non-chalant self awareness.

I really hit it off with two girls tonight. One girl I met while I was asking her to take my picture. After discovering that she had just spent four weeks in Argentina and was about to spend a month in Guatemala, we discovered that we liked each other alot more than just through shared travel interests. Mind you, I was wearing stiletto pumps just as shown above. We are supposed to keep in touch, whether that happens doesn't really matter to me, but she does seem like a really cool girl who really likes to travel...and doesn't mind "swapping spit" with a guy in stilettos. (for lack of a more refined way of puttting it).

The second girl I hit it off with was standing outside another club in the Meatpacking District. Turns out she was from Argentina and that instantly opened the door for more conversation. She was 5' 11" tall without heels too! Anyhow, she was standing alone on a stoop and I approached her and went in for the close. We talked, and a few minutes later, she was trying on my stilettos and I was trying on her sandals. Sadly, she was a size 10, but my size 11 pumps fit her like a glove. She was excited that she could instantly double the size of her shoe wardrobe. She called my cell and told me to call her tomorrow so we could do dinner....again, if it does happen, great! Because I will be wearing stiletto pumps to a One Star Michelin restaurant for dinner....ahh yessss....that would be the life.

Whats even more interesting is that while we were swapping heels, we were standing right at the exit to the bar. Everyone was passing by and yet despite sharing pumps with a man, she did not seem to care what the other people thought. That is why I ADORE Manhattan women sooo much...they are so independent minded, they usually just want to have a great time with a guy, independent of what he wears on his feet.

Below is what it looked like on the street:

Kneehighs: A fabulous account of your outing. Before clicking on the link to your pic, I guessed that you were sporting the pointy toed pumps, figuring that was your style, if not your trademark. And I was right! Heh! Your ability to chat up people, of both genders and make friends with folks while wearing women's shoes is remarkable, I know I could never be a fraction as good at that as you are. More power to you, my friend! And keep those adventures coming!

[FreeMannWorld]

Hope you get what i mean! kneehighs You are a inspration for me, and you HAVE gif me alot of gots to 1/2 step furter THANKS!

[kneehighs]

JeffB Thanks for the compliments. I'm sure you have some great qualities that we can't discern from mere text here too , qualities which I hope to discover some day in person. That's why heel meets are such a great thing...hopefully you'll get a chance to come to next years Annual World Heel Meet 2008, the dates are set and we will be posting an announcement soon.

FreeMannWorld Thanks. That's a very nice thing to say. You seem to be making some great strides yourself based on the pictures you shared and perhaps you are inspiring others too, right now.

[flavio]

I keep on checking how much are the tickets from Brazil to NYC. Great weekend you had my friend! Better ones should come!

[canadianbeaver17]

That-a-boy, kneehighs! Way to go! Too bad those sandals never fit. Speaking of which, why haven't you ventured into sandals or a peep toe?

[kneehighs]

That-a-boy, kneehighs! Way to go! Too bad those sandals never fit. Speaking of which, why haven't you ventured into sandals or a peep toe?

Sandals and peep toes just don't appeal to my taste...Pointy stiletto shoes is about as far as I will ever take it, with the rare exception of tucking my pants into knee high stiletto boots (which is another combo that doesn't appeal to me either).

EDIT: I've been in touch with both girls from Saturday night. One girl I met at the club suggested to meet up for dinner...the other girl I met on the stoop just called me to meet up for drinks. I'll possibly meet up with one of them for dinner, but not both. Time will tell as I'm in no rush.

[ShockQueen]

Kneehighs, your posts never cease to amaze me. You take your heeling travels in good stride, and never seem to have any problem, no matter where you go. If people didn't know you better, they would say it's too good to be true. Thanks for making such things wonderous reality for us!
