Francis Posted August 26, 2002 Author Posted August 26, 2002 somehow, I don't think tinfoil will manage it :-) if I had the requisite knowledge, I would make you the shiny metal corset just for fun (and the photographic rights, of course!)
Bubba136 Posted August 26, 2002 Posted August 26, 2002 I once saw one that was made from pull tabs off of soft drink cans... woven together. Being mentally comfortable in your own mind is the key to wearing heels in public.
Laurieheels Posted August 27, 2002 Posted August 27, 2002 I am not using the pull tabs, but I have been cutting the aluminum of the cans and making some scales. It's not easy work but I try my best. We'll see if I get anything out of it or just revive my goth days for yet another year...
azraelle Posted August 27, 2002 Posted August 27, 2002 Who said that high heeled gothic is oxymoronic? Isn't being goth about self-expression?

Dexter23 Posted August 27, 2002 Posted August 27, 2002 Actually I think you should wear something like this Wouldn’t that be cool? Only You probaly look 1000 times better in it.
Francis Posted August 27, 2002 Author Posted August 27, 2002 the type that Munitia wears in Wild Wild West would be better picture will follow as soon as I get it
Laurieheels Posted August 28, 2002 Posted August 28, 2002 Actually I think you should wear something like this Wouldn’t that be cool? Only You probaly look 1000 times better in it. Dex, I don't think I would quite fill it out, but I guess it doesn't matter. Thank you for saying I would look better in it. I cannot afford something like that but it would be interesting. I think I might be sent home from work as well.
Dexter23 Posted August 28, 2002 Posted August 28, 2002 I think I might be sent home from work as well. Do you think so. Thank god I don't work in you company, with me wearing heels to work I would probaly get sent home a lot.
Laurieheels Posted August 29, 2002 Posted August 29, 2002 I can get away with a few things at work, I smooth talk when I must. But for the boys... a VP can joke about wearing heels with ease, but a male who wore them to work would be asked to go home and change, I am sure. Things have become a little bit more anal since the cuts earlier this year. But I wore my white five and a half inch stilettos today, which many people noticed. More on that will have to wait for the diary. Hallowe'en is when I push things as far as I can, of course. But I have started wearing sparkles on my eye lids and in my hair at least once every few weeks, and no one is saying anything. Push here and there and see what happens. If someone says something, then defend the freedom of expression. I try...
Dexter23 Posted August 29, 2002 Posted August 29, 2002 but a male who wore them to work would be asked to go home and change, I am sure. To bad society still works like this, but I understand. In my company the fired 14 people out of 45 last week, On those moments you don’t want to stand out in any way. Well back to topic, I found some costumes maybe you’ll like them. But anyway in the remote case you don't you can get some inspiration from them. http://www.buycostumes.com/images/Product/Product400/10260.jpg http://www.wildfree.com/hallowee/closeups/rub15553.jpg http://www.wildfree.com/hallowee/closeups/rub15527.jpg http://www.funfolly.com/g/c/cvik2rid.gif
Laurieheels Posted August 30, 2002 Posted August 30, 2002 Interesting costume choices, but they're.... generic, stale, and someone else's idea. You know that I have to be unique and an individual, right? Besides, NO HORNS! Vikings do not have horned helmets. We're smarter than that.
Francis Posted August 30, 2002 Author Posted August 30, 2002 as per an answer given to another thread- Valkyrie Goddess on a motorbike Laurie certainly has interesting choices I best stop myself otheriwse there may be an accident!
Francis Posted August 30, 2002 Author Posted August 30, 2002 in addition; this conjures up the image of Barb Wire with a Norse flavour! I shall finish drooling elsewhere
Laurieheels Posted August 31, 2002 Posted August 31, 2002 I have made the decision to take motorcycle riding lessons, likely in the spring since autumn is almost here and I know such classes can fill up in advance. Barb Wire, I know of the character, and I think I have more brains than that. Valkyrie high heeled goddess on a super sport bike, trying not to go down while riding amongst the cages. A more modern view, sure. I think Super Laurie will certainly ride a fancy super sport, probably a Suzuki.

You can wear a nice leather outfit in public and nobody thinks strange of it. I like it a lot, riding my Honda CBR-600 Next weekend I will probably go to the superbikes in Assen
Laurieheels Posted September 23, 2002 Posted September 23, 2002 I just wanted to revive the topic. I'm in such a great mood these days that I thought it would be fun!
Renee Posted September 23, 2002 Posted September 23, 2002 http://www.dolls-n-daggers.com/Valkyrietext.html Here is one site. Freyja from what little I know was a big one. Back in the days high priestesses were sometimes raided to a goddess level. I'll lok into it. Renee
Laurieheels Posted October 14, 2002 Posted October 14, 2002 Construction of the costume has begun. So far it is looking good. With a few hours here and there, I should be ready in time for the 31st!
Yamyam Posted October 16, 2002 Posted October 16, 2002 Are you planning to give us some more detail, or is that it? Might be unwise leaving this to our imaginations. Especially mine... Obsessed is such a strong word. I prefer to think of myself as "differently enthusiastic"
Laurieheels Posted October 17, 2002 Posted October 17, 2002 Aluminum cans were used in making scales, and these are being glued to a backing that will make a shirt. They overlap, to make a scale armour.
