dr1819 Posted May 7, 2006 Share Posted May 7, 2006 Check out this refreshing fashion-industry article (and no, I'm not Bianca Zen, but it's obvious she's done at least some of her homework here and on other sites we frequent): http://www.designtaxi.com/features.jsp?id=162 Sound familiar?

kneehighs Posted May 7, 2006 Share Posted May 7, 2006 dr1819, great find! Like you said, you are good at researching! I voted somewhat familiar, as there needs to be more evidence (at least for me) that the information came from "our" pages. The site that this article is hosted on is creative and artistic, leading me to consider the possibility she may have uncovered the information through the fashion spot, wikipedia, or another forum. Googling Bianca Zen brought these results, "Bianca Zen writes for Ad Planet Group and ISH Magazine. She has recently won an award by SPH for the best advertising campaign for April 2005." I am writing a pm to her at a blog station for networking to see if I can establish further contact. Feminine Style . Masculine Soul. Skin In The Game.

dr1819 Posted May 8, 2006 Author Share Posted May 8, 2006 Too cool! Who knows we might see men in heels more mainstream in our lifetime. That would be nice! At the very least it would cause manufacturers to increase their selection of styles, including many that most of us who're normally adverse to wearing heels to work would accept enough to be part of the "trend," even though we've been doing it for years.

kneehighs Posted May 8, 2006 Share Posted May 8, 2006 Bianca who is the editor of Taxi just emailed me. She is willing to post pics and says she finds heels on men sexy. So, I've sent her a few pics of myself (face included), in both pointy and block heels for her review. Anyone else game to share a pic? Besides jim? Feminine Style . Masculine Soul. Skin In The Game.

Shafted Posted May 8, 2006 Share Posted May 8, 2006 I'll have to decline for now as my pics are really not that great in my opinion. Not that I'll unhappy with my appearance, but I somehow always look better in the mirror than I do in photos. Hm, maybe I need to get a full length mirror and shoot myself that way.

Guy N. Heels Posted May 11, 2006 Share Posted May 11, 2006 I find that many women are quite open minded and matter-of-fact about a wide range of fashion articles including men wearing high heels and earrings. On the other hand, many highly fashion conscious women who consider certain articles to be exclusively feminine domain are often so narrow-minded that they can look through a keyhole with both eyes. Based upon the information presented, it is entirely possible that the author, Bianca, is simply an open-minded woman who has done her own research without necessarily "mining" her ideas from any particular place. Don't forget that like minds often trod the same paths. In general, the sooner we dispell the notion that a particular style of footwear implies a certain gender, the better off we will all be. After all, they is just shooz... Keep on stepping, Guy N. Heels Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
