Thumbs up for very high-heeled platform shoes

I love wearing high heels and I love wearing dresses.

I actually gave up wearing dresses completely a few years ago, mostly because I never sit like a lady, always putting my feet on furniture or sitting on the floor, and it's hard to do that wearing a skirt. Sitting properly isn't very comfortable to me, so I'm really better off in pants.
I'm a bit different than everyone else, though, in that I also never wear make-up anymore, and haven't for like four or five years (less time than I've been out of skirts, but still a long time). Make-up is just so expensive, and I don't know how to put it on well anyway. . . and even if I wear it I'm not any more attractive, so why bother? *shrugs*
I do wear jewellery and hair accessories often enough, though, so I'm not a total butch yet. . . just getting there slowly. . . *laughs*

I, on the other hand, just wore a dress for the first time since July 2002. It was a surreal experience.

Haha....yes I wear jewelry and makeup nearly every time I leave the house (in case I run into Alexei Yagudin...his DUI notwithstanding.) . But I have very little body fat and get cold easily in my deep-freeze of an office (I know, what a predictament) so any dress typically induces goosebumps all over my legs. A real attractive sight, I'm sure!

But at your urging, ladies, I will wear a dress Monday to work! A 3/4-sleeve Parallel dress with a self-belt. How does that sound?!?!

Tina I bet you're lovely in heels and a dress. We already know Traci's a babe When do we get to see a pic?

You just wore a dress for the first time in over a year Lyris? That's amazing girl!
I don't think I have gone more than 3 days without wearing a skirt or a dress. Don't you like to wear dresses Lyris? You are so feminine too, you would look so great in a dress I'm sure!!!
You wear makeup and earrings don't you Lyris?

You are right Lyris. I'm a guy and it's not that way with us everyday if we are looking at woman dressed plain with: no makeup, plain clothes, messy hair and so on,- even if she is wearing heels.

But then again Lyris it depends how, (well how should I say this?), h o r n y we are that day.

Yeah, my feet are easy enough to hurt in completely flat shoes and sneakers, so heels for me are nearly intolerable to stand or walk in for any real length of time :-( . Maybe I need some of those arch support things I keep seeing on television?

Yeah Shinydome... isn't that funny?

I was wearing heels today with a very plain dress. No makeup, hair down, untouched...
And every male pair of eyes was watching me walk down the street! LOL

The song is "I Want You" by Savage Garden. I looove Savage Garden!

Right on!

I'm pushing 6' tall and apparently still going since I've grown out of half my wardrobe since last winter (I'm 17, going on 18). I do love heels though, even though I'm taller than all my friends even without them. Hey, it's useful in crowds and at concerts!

I am 5'9" and never really got into being tall. But then what are you going to do about it? My husband is really tall (6'4") so I don't ever tower over him and yes, I do love wearing really high heels. But I must say, I have always had trouble finding things that will fit properly especially pants and jeans. They are never long enough. Some companies now offer some pants/jeans in tall lengths but I have found that the cutest ones are never more than 31" inseam and that just isn't long enough for me. Oh well. I think people seem to be getting taller.
