Dawn HH Posted December 29, 2008 Posted December 29, 2008 And my hero also. Cheers--- Dawn HH High Heeled Boots Forever!
kneehighs Posted December 30, 2008 Author Posted December 30, 2008 Ah, for me a date wearing heels is becoming the "holy grail" of heeling for me. You are and continue to be my hero! I'm sure you'd have no real problem pulling off heels on a first date. Your comfortable enough in so many different situations and contexts, dating would just be like a new venue to try your heels in. It's quite a thrill when the flirting goes wild and the chemistry starts to sizzle! Feminine Style . Masculine Soul. Skin In The Game.
HappyFeat Posted December 30, 2008 Posted December 30, 2008 As soon as I find somebody who piques my interest enough and isn't already attached, I plan to give it a try. What is it with everybody being "coupled" these days? I know it will be great fun! Style is built from the ground up!
Dawn HH Posted January 1, 2009 Posted January 1, 2009 Happyfeat:-) I may have been "coupled" for 40 years, but I fully understand your angst to have a pardner once in a while to pal around with. After all, she may go for you wearing heels on a first date, who knows? Cheers--- Dawn HH High Heeled Boots Forever!
kneehighs Posted January 14, 2009 Author Posted January 14, 2009 Super busy right now, but here goes. Last night I was at a party, for the Sprouse book launch. Amazing party with Debbie Harry, Marc Jacobs, Fern Mallis (founder of New York Fashion Week), Fred Schneider (lead singer of B52's) and many other celebs. In case you don't know, Stephen Sprouse was the guy responsible for adding the neon hue colors to Louis Vuitton. Anyhow, I had been invited to take photos, so no heeling for me, not even block heels as I need maximum physical stability for fast moving. Besides spotting 4 other guys in heels (3 in the Rick Owens block heels and 1 in stiletto boots), some beautiful Swiss girl came up to me. She was flirting heavy, which is usual behavior among the fashion set. She was wearing an eye catching outfit which was the first thing I commented on. "nice outfit!" "thanks love, do you want to borrow it" and she took off her shawl thingy and asked if I wanted to wear it. "ahh, thats sweet of you, but I don't have any heels to go with it" "that's no problem, you can borrow those too" She was wearing a pair of 4" suede stiletto ankle boots, which sadly, I didn't get a good pic of. The story is still fun though. haha. It turns out she was good friends with Teri Toye, who was the first openly transgendered supermodel. I'm definitely thinking that women who are friends and supportive of TG's are definitely supportive of men in heels (seems like I'm stating the obvious really). Feminine Style . Masculine Soul.

kneehighs Posted January 15, 2009 Author Posted January 15, 2009 Name Dropper!!!!! hehe, I didn't say I knew them! Just that they were there...as a photographer, the reality is that I was on the lowest end of the social food chain...and learning who is who in the world of fashion/celebrity culture is important right now too...

HappyFeat Posted January 15, 2009 Posted January 15, 2009 You have the coolest life! Keep posting and I will continue to live vicariously. Style is built from the ground up!
Dawn HH Posted January 16, 2009 Posted January 16, 2009 Kneehighs:-) Name dropper or not, at least you are able to be in the company of famous people and sooner or later it will begin to rub off on you. Cudos, my friend and keep on as you are. There have been times in my life where I have been in company of famous people also and it definately does rub off to a certain extent. Cheers--- Dawn HH High Heeled Boots Forever!
kneehighs Posted January 19, 2009 Author Posted January 19, 2009 Date last night. Bottom line, this girl does not support men wearing high heels. She didn't mind that I was wearing my women's knee boots over jeans, a women's leather jacket, and she even shared some of her bracelets with me to keep. Even though we stayed out till 6 am and she invited me back to her place, this one is a dud--or maybe I'll see her one more time and just show up in block heels and take it from there. p.s. what was interesting is that she didn't rule out the possibility of dating a transgendered Male to Female. It's the grey areas in between that challenged her belief system about what was right and wrong. Feminine Style . Masculine Soul. Skin In The Game.
Guest Posted January 20, 2009 Posted January 20, 2009 Kneehighs Sometimes it may be just getting black and white from colour or swapping hands, the two sides are ok, the messy bit in the middle causes confusion. That lovely little word........WHY.........which on it's own has no answer gets used so often when someone will not accept the reasons. Both the girls were Beautiful, I feel a bit jealous I'd love to do a shoot at a venue like that (must get better) Good luck go for the second meet, fingers crossed, spoon in the cauldron, magic may happen.

Quite often, after you get through the "getting to know you phase," attitudes are "adjusted" and issues that are at first gulf-building close and common ground becomes "continent" size. Being mentally comfortable in your own mind is the key to wearing heels in public.
Dawn HH Posted January 21, 2009 Posted January 21, 2009 Kneehighs:-) Go for the second meeting and see what happens when wearing heels. You might be surprised at the reaction that you may get. If things don't work out for you, then chalk it up to experience and move on. Cheers--- Dawn HH High Heeled Boots Forever!

Let's see, she didn't like guys in heels (you), but hung with you till 6 am and invited you back to her place. Hmmmm! If she did like guys in heels (you again), she might have ripped your clothes off right there..... (just kidding, but an interesting observation nonetheless)
kneehighs Posted January 21, 2009 Author Posted January 21, 2009 oooops, I didn't wear heels that night, just 1.75" heel flat knee boots over jeans, a grey t-shirt tunic from Zara, a black leather jacket from Kenneth Cole layered over the grey turtle neck t-shirt, and a red scarf. She said she'd wear it all. To tell you the truth though, I'm not really giving this situation that much thought. There are so many other attractive "fish" in my "fishbowl" it doesn't really matter how this process evolves itself. Feminine Style . Masculine Soul. Skin In The Game.
Guest Posted January 21, 2009 Posted January 21, 2009 Sounds like a case of none and now too many? Good fishing:smile: hook a good one (and not a hooker) Al
Dawn HH Posted January 22, 2009 Posted January 22, 2009 Kneehighs:-) That's good fishing. Some you throw back, some you spend time with. Some deserves a second time out with. Have fun, my friend. Cheers--- Dawn HH High Heeled Boots Forever!
RonC Posted January 22, 2009 Posted January 22, 2009 While not the best of pictures, from what I can see, I just might have to give up heeling for her! Wow!
kikepa Posted January 24, 2009 Posted January 24, 2009 Date last night. Cute! p.s. what was interesting is that she didn't rule out the possibility of dating a transgendered Male to Female. It's the grey areas in between that challenged her belief system about what was right and wrong. It's always the 'tweeners, isn't it? As long as people stay put within well-developed and accepted stereotypes, it's ok. But when the lines blur... It's time to let them blur! Those who really care about us don't make a fuss about what we wear. Those who make a fuss about what we wear really don't care about us.
kneehighs Posted January 24, 2009 Author Posted January 24, 2009 Well, just till breakfast! Yessss!!! That's a very valid compromise! Feminine Style . Masculine Soul. Skin In The Game.
kneehighs Posted March 14, 2009 Author Posted March 14, 2009 OK, it should be clear by now that my time here will soon dwindle to virtually nothing. I'm still in Paris recovering from a long fashion month, but have a few updates. First off, no one in fashion has a problem with the REALITY of a man in high heels. While on the internet or in conversation, they may have a problem with the IDEA of a man in heels, when presented with the reality right before their very eyes, it's a whole different phenomena. You can't just go by what someone says on a message board, blog, or news paper write up... At Paris Fashion Week for instance, I spotted 6 different guys wearing 4" heels. In every case the entire length of the heel was visible. No one batted an eye. This is at PARIS Fashion Week, which sets the standard for every other fashion week and reigns supreme as the foremost leader in setting the standard for every season. I did go on a date in my heels in Paris and partied with editors of well known fashion magazines from London who wanted me to wear my heels (but I was too tired to deal with it). Heck they even thought I looked sexy... In regards to my lack of presence here and follow through on the meet, I think that in life there are seasons and times for everything. Just as there is a time to plant, there is also a time to uproot. I believe I've hit a season where it's time for me to gradually disappear, as I mentioned previously. Feminine Style .

Just as there is a time to plant, there is also a time to uproot. I believe I've hit a season where it's time for me to gradually disappear, as I mentioned previously. While I know that what you say is true, I know that the entire membership of hhplace will miss your smiling face and positive attitude. I, for one, am already lamenting your departure. We can only hope that you will look in from time to time and let us know you are still alive, well and making your mark in a profession in which you seek to excel. Perhaps you might also keep your blog up to date so we can follow your progress. In any case, it's been great knowing you and perhaps, at some point, our cyberspace paths will cross again....that would, indeed, be my great pleasure. May good timing, fast shutter speed, good lighting and clear views follow you where ever you go. Being mentally comfortable in your own mind is the key to wearing heels in public.
kneehighs Posted April 12, 2009 Author Posted April 12, 2009 Beatrice Inn in New York City closes down.... People start flocking to new venues.... kneehighs heads to Spring street in Soho and befriends the former FORD model now working the "guestlist". Is told to come back at any time and to bring whoever I want. She even tells head bouncer same. this was all accomplished while I was wearing black stiletto patent pumps, no socks, black skinny jeans, a Marc by Marc Jacobs top, and a Calvin Klein satin blazer. next weekend rolls around. kneehighs accomplishes the impossible. I was doing my rounds in the club. Walking from one set of girls to another set of girls to another set of girls to another, etc. etc. Black skinny jeans, 4" patent stiletto pumps, no socks, grey turtleneck mini dress that looks like a long t-shirt, and a black Kenneth Cole leather jacket. find my way back to a Swedish girl and her brunette friend. It was my third talk with them. Swedish girl decides to give me a lap dance. Then a kiss. And her friend joins in on the kiss too! Line of men standing there in awe, dumbfounded at the guy in stiletto pumps "scoring" with two beautiful girls. Leaving the club, I stood at the sidewalk for a moment to check my belongings. Some alpha guy with his 5 man entourage comes up to me asks, "are you trying to invade our territory?" haha, I laughed all the way to the yellow cab and into the night with my new company.

Some alpha guy with his 5 man entourage comes up to me asks, "are you trying to invade our territory?" My how quickly some quy's "insecurity with their own sexual attractiveness" reveals itself. And, to be threatened by competition from guy wearing high heels and a mixture of feminine/masculine attire, to "boot." What ever is our society coming to? (They can't guess it's more than just the clothing!) (Nice to see that you're still around- ) Being mentally comfortable in your own mind is the key to wearing heels in public.
HappyFeat Posted April 13, 2009 Posted April 13, 2009 Kneehighs...you are still my hero! Not because you have such a great rapport with women, not because you have such a great style, not because you serve as an inspiration to me (and many other I am sure), but because you have the confidence to be yourself. The alpha dogs have nothing on you! I have learned that women are attracted to guys who have confidence to be who they are and do as they please. A guy in heels personifies that to the largest degree. It is almost by definition sacramental...an outward expression of your inner being. Guys who follow the herd never stand out from it and therefor never reap the rewards of being genuine. There only recourse is machismo, which quite frankly I feel is a turn off to modern women. I am glad you are still posting, being true, and having fun! Style is built from the ground up!
Arctic Posted April 15, 2009 Posted April 15, 2009 Great story KH. PS is there any other social network you can be contacted on - if you decide not to frequent this place any longer. thanks! What's all the fuss about?
kneehighs Posted April 15, 2009 Author Posted April 15, 2009 A Small World...dot net EDIT: regarding my last story, I did try to take photos, but no camera's were allowed inside the club. All I had was my massive DSLR. I whipped it out once and literally within a minute, the bouncer and the door girl both approached me and asked me to put it away. sigh Feminine Style . Masculine Soul.
