Thoughts from the World Heel Meet on May 13 2006

I went to London for the World Heel Meet

With my trusty wedges upon my feet

I arrived there rather late

As to Heathrow Airport I had to deviate.

We all met up near Oxford Street

No finer people could I meet

Heelers from Britain, Germany, Netherlands were all there

More heelers from USA and Argentina sat in the square

Kneehighs used his camera to capture the moment

When we 20 all met for the first instant

20 heelers upon the town

Trying to wear those prejudices down

After meeting we decided to shop

Thence to Topshop, our first stop

Loads of heels to be savoured

Sadly nothing would be favoured

Time for dinner we finally agree

So to Restaurant Paradiso we all flee

All you can eat for six pounds fifty

We decide that’s rather nifty

We all soon feel rather jolly

Although no-one can beat the appetite of Polly

Three trips to the buffet she is able

To eat the rest of us under the table

After coffee we all depart

Tearful farewells and kisses as we part

The heel meeters go their separate ways

Thoughts enriched for future days

At kneehighs’ Novotel, we all cheer

But the champagne looks rather queer

Red champagne, surely not

Sorry folks, that’s all they’ve got

At the end of the night we received a thrill

When Louis came back, dressed to kill

Tight pants, corset, silver heels, O what a sight

He’s really hitting the town tonight

All too soon we must leave

We’ll meet again soon I believe

So here’s to the next heel meet

Wearing those boots upon the street

As it's creative writing, couldn't I be creative and pretend I went and write about that to try to win the prize? Love the poetry Calv

[peachyshoes]

Excellent start Calv! red champagne? surely not? Shyguy Im sorry but I think we will have to limit the competition to those who we all met at the heel meet, as it seems only fair to those who came from Holland, America, Argentina etc, especially for the occasion. x x Mwah x The Peach

Now who's copying my idea?

[a3]

hallo, thanks to a offer a price at the shop Mel and Heelfan. I guesing a lot of member who show up, told there story in the other capitel of this heelmeet. A few of us are more creative in how to put every thing in wordts than others and light up there story with there picture. It's a shame when everyting is copied from one capitel to the other. The main this is; is was a great succes to meet the members from different countrise and even to talk to. And the support of the hole group while walking in publick. The take from some of us to put there experience to the rest is nice. Even when you both put is a stimulation price as a promtion of the shop, many thanks. I hope a few contributions are still coming and will you make it differcult to toughe from who gets the price. Good luck in finding a winner and we hope to know who will be the lucky one. good luck and go well on you heels a3

Here's my entry. This was originally in the other thread: I went up to the London meet; We all met up in Oxford Street; There were twenty heelers there; You should've seen the public stare; Heelfan of course was wearing heels; And brought Jo and Peachy in his wheels; Xaphod turned up rather late; 'cos he'd gone to meet Kneehighs, his mate; Euchrid, Shakedown, Dougal and Si; Helped make the time fly swiftly by; Heelius made the gang complete; Like us he was wearing heels on his feet; We looked for Micha and A3; But they had gone quite wrong you see; Along with Jan they'd got lost; And had to wait, that was their cost; First we met in a certain caff; And sat around and had a laugh; After which we got some grub; Then sat outside a local pub; We tried to pull out all the stops; And went around the local shops: I tried on heels and here's the news; I bought nothing, not even shoes! Fogborkenvy brought his missus; And introduced her to all of us; They had met Xa at Waterloo; Then came along to join us too: While the rest were getting their heely fix; Firefox did some magic tricks; Calv then found himself in luck; And found a place to park his truck; Can't remember the names of the rest; But for being great guys they were the best; We had some laughs, we had some food; And magic tricks, (some almost good); Then it came time to say goodbye; With heavy heart I had to fly; All the way home I was feeling bad; 'Cos to leave so soon was really sad!

Dear Kneehighs, in my opinion You or Heelfan should win the award! Because of your engagement for the common meeting in reality and in the internet I didn't write my contributions because of hoping to win a pair of heels. I'm convinced that we all are thinking in the same way. We have written our reports only because we are simply conscientious offenders cheers micha

Hi all there! Sorry for turning up so late but , as some of you know, I was travelling to Southamerica for serious family reasons and just came back home last weekend. So here is the report of the german jury: The day started very well and quiet till I reached the airport and walking through the metal detector heard the alarm. The security guy tolme to stand and open my arms and started to check me. THen he went down to my brown 10cm heeled boots and was a little surprised. He asked me in a very educated manner to take them off and as he stood with them he smiled but said nothing. And I took this whole thing for normal and only smiled back with a "thank you" when he returned them to me. So I was in form for a nice heel-weekend. Coming into town was much easier than I thought. I had been only onde to London, it was for work and only for one night, and I had not a good memory of it, almost geting lost in the subway and almost geting mad when I got trapped with a non- working ticket, trying to get out of the victoria line to get in the train in the middle of the rush hour with noone near to ask for help... This time everything was fine and I reached the Novotel on time. (Room was exellent! Thanks Kneehighs! From there to Starbucks and a cup of tea. I found the group very heterogenic and that was nice: different ages, countries and taste. Was a pleasure to listen to heelfan. He has such a wonderfull english accent. I chatted with Tara and with Robert. I needed a little bit af warming cause I did not now anyone, After ages of trying to get contact to the lost ones we finally went down Oxford Street and met them. Well others have already told about our wanderings so I will not go deeper on that. I had fun talking to the Holland guys Robert and a3 and was much pleased to finally meet Kneehighs and Calv. You guys are great. On our italian lunch we were talking about everything from politics to fashion and I had a great time chatting with fogborkenvv and wife. Hope to see you again! After a while we went back to the hotel. I was up since 4 in the morning and needed some sleep. Then smashed the group who was waiting on the Lobby with my evening "dres to kill" attire as seen in the picture (thanks kneehighs). Well that evening was a great one. Kneehighs, heel-D an me (pity we were only us three) went to soho and had some drinks and went dancing. It was a nice warm nicht and lots of peple were on the streets. I received some good comments and actually a guy standing in the street started to applaud and told me how great I was looking! I could not believe it! Kneehighs got a date with a girl for next day also. The painly way back home was the funniest thing cause we were yelling OUTCH! with each step. Heel D wanted some food so we had to walk some blocks more. I was dying! Finally went to bet at 4AM. The next day as the others were still sleeping I decided to take a morning walk to check if I still could walk on heels and I have to say : it was edgy. My feet were still sour. A guy who was standing next to me at a red light, suddenly asked me: Excuse me sir, can I ask you a question? Are those high heels? Can I see them? I showed him my white boots and he told me: great! How can you walk on those? Aren't your feet sour? I lied of course! Back to the hotel I put on some flats and we all thre went to see the usual turistic London. Thanks Heel-D for being our tour guide. We had some english breakfast and went all around enjoying the lovely mild wheather. It was a great weekend indeed.

[HeelD]

Determination.

Dedication.

Liberation.

These are the three elements I’ve discovered this weekend. I’ve overcome obstacles that have been of my own creation. Sure I have streetheeled before but only this weekend have I realised that nothing bad happens when you wear heels or women’s shoes. Nothing bad happens when you look at yourself in the mirror and think to yourself “I look good”.

I have also learnt that men from all corners of life, like heels and wearing women’s shoes. They can all get together, and enjoy a great afternoon, in their heels without any worries. Sure there were the odd looks, but generally people really don’t notice a group of guys in heels. Weird, huh? If most people don’t notice a large group of guys wearing heels, then one person surely can get away with it even more.

This is my message to you all, heel wearing is liberating!

My evening with Kneehighs and Heeluis was most fun. Heeluis’ outfit was might I say eye-popping!! Think Rocky Horror Picture Show meets the Proms and you get the idea. He made mine and kneehigh’s outfits look like church outfits - to make extreme comparisons. The reactions Heeluis drew were 2 a penny, I remember one cute girl walking past us giving Heeluis a compliment. We were in for a great evening!

My eveninf outfit was this:

Along with a jacket and bag, I drew no attention, apart from the drag queen that was serving at the entrance of Too2Much! “So, why are you all wearing heels?” she exclaims. “Erm, it’s a long story!” says Kneehighs looking at me thinking about what to say. I quickly looked at her heels. (Hey, it was subject of the conversation). She was wearing white (IIRC) thigh high boots if you wanna know. She was so impressed by outfits, she let us all in for a fiver each. The club was good. Nice fair mix of people – a sort of anything goes type of club. And I felt welcome in my heels

As the night draw to a close, we left for the hotel sometime between 2 and 3am. We grabbed some pizza in Leicester Square before getting the bus back. I incidentally had to run for the bus as we would have missed it. Running in stilettos while drunk was easy – kneehighs and Heeluis can back me up there! I’ll see if I can run in stilettos while sober some time!

Sunday involved nursing a large hangover all day – with a full English Breakfast in the morning, followed by a Chinese Takeaway in the evening when I got home. I wore this non-heeled outfit around Camden and Central London:

I had all but one reaction. A male shop assistant in Office in Camden. He was transfixed by shoes! Funny! I guess it was interesting to him and he was intreged.

I’ve spent the last couple of days thinking of what fun I had - socialising and wearing heels, and wanting to do it again soon. Streetheel that is! The next available opportunity I’m going to streetheel again – but this time with more confidence than ever!!!

Thanks guys!

(Apologies for the poor picture quality! Camera phone!)

Peachy I may be mistaken, but I don't see a "testimonial"

Is she allowed to enter being one of the judges and all?!

[a3]

hallo, I think it will be a good thing as Peachy is a part of the judges. From her shop the price is coming. And see should be have a good feeling about it who has become the winner. And perhaps hand over the price (personal). And having a judges of 3 voits there will become always a winner normaly. and perhaps a female has a differnet looks to surtain point as we have men. Besides we were almost al men wearing a female stylise shoe. And who should has a good knolledge of that as a female her self. I hope you understand my point of few and we will hear sometimes what kind of dissision has made. Lover your heels A3

[jo]

I've been away for some holiday and some heeling, and right after that my computer died. Eventually, here I am back online. Had a quick look from a public terminal a couple of times over the last few days, but scarcely time to post. Should be back to normal now...

[Dr. Shoe]

Hi Dr. Shoe,

Great point on the Conflict of Interests.

Nonetheless, both Heelfan and I put our "testimonial" in anyway. Its just because we had such a good time meeting others and making new friends--the original purpose behind the testimonial contest to show others how we had such a good time. I liked making friends with Si, talking with euchrid, chatting with shakedown, learning more about Mrs. Fogborkenvv, talking with Firefox, learning new words from Xaphod, drinking the beer fogborkenvv bought me...

I wouldn't vote for myself and I don't think Heelfan or Peachy would either

Oh for sure, but I thought that this was the competition thread...

[HeelD]

Congratulations Calv!

[euchrid]

yeah, nice one Calv. don't forget to post a pic of your chosen prize once you've taken delivery (so the rest of us can see what we missed out on)

[Calv]

I am highly honoured and flattered that you thought my lines were worthy of the prize, and would like to say a big thank you to Kneehighs, Heelfan and Peachy for organising the contest and supplying the prize. Thanks must also go to Dr Shoe who's poem provided the original inspiration and the local pub for providing the "thinking juice" I think the last time I wrote any verse was when I was at school - a long long time ago!! Now, about that trip to Bristol - got a good reason to visit now,!! Regards Calv

[Pam]

congratulations ... rock those new heels!
