Stephen Posted January 3, 2003 Share Posted January 3, 2003 I'm 43 and I love it. I do like the idea of being avant garde, but I accept that I'm not really. There's certainly nothing avant garde about wearing high heels. Mind you, I hope I'm not a geezer either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Van Posted January 6, 2003 Author Share Posted January 6, 2003 Highluc, if I remember in one of your recent posting you mentionned that you had encountered recently some , may i write hostility ? or lack of acceptance of your free style because of your age. Could you elaborate ? Vanessa Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Highluc Posted January 6, 2003 Share Posted January 6, 2003 Hi Vanessa, this was mainly from members of my family. Although they accepted a litlle bit the idea of androgynous clothing or shoes they only saw it for the youth to experiment and show their rebelion on traditional values. They thought a man of my age should dress conservatively as the rest of the western world does. Same old stuff again. Be youself, enjoy any footwear you like and don't care about what others think about it, it's your life, not theirs.

Van Posted January 12, 2003 Author Share Posted January 12, 2003 You have all my sympathy Highluc. I 've been thru that myself. It seems that because we are middle-aged men, we should dress and behave like "Bom' Pa". Not for me ! The funny thing is that i find a lot of young people very conservative, not adventurous at all. I'm quite happy to belong to a generation which still believed everything was possible (we probably got it wrong, so what ?). I always lived the life I loved and loved the life I lived and ain't gonna change now. Too old for that. I guess thec same goes for you. Cheers, Vanessa Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Highluc Posted January 12, 2003 Share Posted January 12, 2003 Completely my way of thinking as well, it looks like we have adopted (as opposed to being thought) similar values in life. I'm proud to be Bompa (3 times) but sure don't dress the part. Enjoy your life as well, Luc Be youself, enjoy any footwear you like and don't care about what others think about it, it's your life, not theirs.

Bubba136 Posted October 8, 2003 Share Posted October 8, 2003 At 47, that's great to hear, ChrisC Being mentally comfortable in your own mind is the key to wearing heels in public. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dawn HH Posted January 24, 2004 Share Posted January 24, 2004 I'm 69 so I guess I am a geezer. I have only been into street-heeling for a month, so I guess you CAN teach an old dog NEW tricks although I don't consider myself old. I'm just nicely SEASONED. Dawn HH High Heeled Boots Forever!

chris100575 Posted January 25, 2004 Share Posted January 25, 2004 I'm 28, but I'm feeling very old this morning. Bah! I hate working on Sunday. Chris Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dawn HH Posted January 26, 2004 Share Posted January 26, 2004 I used to attend antique car rallies, or go to train shows on Sundays, but I can't anymore. I have worked every Sunday for the past 9 years and I don't mind it a bit. My job is running a large train display in a museum and I get paid for it. People tell me I have the best job in the world.

Anita C. Posted January 26, 2004 Share Posted January 26, 2004 I'm 54 and I really don't care what is hot, current & happening. I've survived the mini, the maxi, peasant looks, tie-dieing, bellbottoms, hiphuggers, baggies and chunky heels clik-clik-cliking along in my 5" Stilettos. I dress conservatively for the most part because the styles are timeless, classic & elegant. I don't care what Brittney, J-Lo or whoever are wearing because it would look stupid & dated in 6 months. I'm over 50 . . I like where I am and WHO I am. It's taken me a long time to get here. Ciao! Anita C. "Spike Heels . . a Pork-pie hat . . Have on the mend in no time flat . .
