What are you wearing today?

[Fade to Black]

thanks for the words guys, 'preciate it

daniel - that might be worth a try. inspired by an old p-nod pic i tried wearin my dior suit w/ the c diems, it worked out quite well. Dunno how they'd fare w/ the baggy Y's...i tried wearing it w/ Aldens once and somehow it didn't flow as well as it does with this lower laceup, but a boot might work...

dammit, i'm saving lives!

and mona, you look fabulous. ditto F2B.

Kunk75, always love your pics but this last one offends me.......... because i look for better from you

[MikeN]

matthew, that's definitely my favorite look of yours thus far!

[Faust]

Well, you just broke my heart.

Why this opposition to feminine footwear? I mean of course in the ideal of femininity as something elegant, a bit fragile, and graceful. Do you equate it to something prissy? I am curious.

[Faust]

Off to scare postal workers. DRKSHDW gimp minidress. Julius commando pants. CDiem boots.

^ well you're gonna need an MA+ dog collar too

[Faust]

No real opposition, honestly, other than that I don't really dress up often, and so it's not practical for me to own heels that are too delicate. Additionally, a really beautiful black pump is going to cost hundreds of dollars. I can justify spending a lot of money on boots, but not on dressier heels.

Aside from that, I don't find them particularly fun or versatile.

That makes sense.

Good thinking. Can I borrow yours? Or maybe just cut up your belt and make three collars out of it?

I strongly sympathize with wanting to invest in boots. I think a sleek pointy boot with a thicker heel would look great with the second outfit. (A bit like junya's footwear in fall 07.) I think the shoes you are wearing are totally fine in the first pic, as the weight of the jacket balances their chunkiness.

Also, i have no wish--ever--to give off any impression of fragility, in either my footwear or clothes.

[Faust]

Too bad

[laika]

Too bad

for you.



ps. JJ, I am liking those light colored jeans on you a lot.

Leaving aside thoughts that you ARE fragile (human) high heels can also emanate sharpness and aggressiveness.

Right. I just don't seek to echo that fragility in my sartorial choices. It's apparent enough already, frankly.

hmmm, i wear high heels most of the time (esp. in winter) but not to seem aggressive or fragile. very interesting to hear these male interpretations of female footwear.
