Blouse's highlights of the weekend.
Davros's fantastic wedding jacket which he wore out in the evening.

Labia and Nostrobor in kilts.

Jennymemonic's drinking game.

The chippy near my hotel which served ace chips and which I partook of after each night's festivities whether I was hungry or not.

Tourette's seeing a balloon she wanted in the park and chasing it like a mong so she could hold it.

The ocd waiter in the Italian restaurant.

Not being sick in the morning.

Tulip and Beekers dressed as lesbians.

Was a lovely evening - and I liked being dressed as a lesbian!

Be out and be proud : )

@Beekers - you are the handsomest lesbian I've ever seen.

Ooh drinking game!
What were the rules?

And what was OCD about the waiter?

I read that as "does hairy legs".

Somehow I like my version better.

It was Jennymemonic's vagina drinking game. Too complicated to write down but lots of fun.

The waiter took bloody ages to straighten our cutlery and napkins when he came over with them.

He also was the spitting image of the priest in Father Ted who was really boring and they were trying to get rid off.

I wants some of them. I wants now!

Also, of course the chips were good;

Chips = unhealthy

Scots = good at being unhealthy

Ergo, Scots = good at making chips.

Well Tulip
I spent most of Saturday night throwing up, then couldn't really breathe, then got a fun trip to hospital, then couldn't sleep that night, or the next day, and haven't really slept since.

Is that a decent excuse?
(PenguinOfDeath is Scottish, and most likely angry, Mon 13 Apr 2009, 19:59, Reply)

I would be daft enough to buy them but I don't like being stared at.
( girlinthehole, Mon 13 Apr 2009, 19:59, Reply)

yes
yes it is.

*send feelbetters and hugs*

Are you feeling better now though?
(happylittletulip helpless and delicious, Mon 13 Apr 2009, 20:01, Reply)

This is Britain
People won't be caught staring.

I haven't worn them since the end of summer but with nice days coming up I shall be getting them out again.
( The Light in Chains don't touch the Pope's boner, Mon 13 Apr 2009, 20:02, Reply)

I like them
I would definitely consider buying some at some point. How secure are they on your feet?

And not so much Tulip. Tried some toast this morning, regretted it this afternoon. Was meant to be going out this evening, but I'm back in bed instead. STUPID MISSING BASH!

Pretty secure - that thing on the back is a pull tab for drawstrings that run around the open part.

Colin's blog has a sizing guide too.

EDIT: TRL - those are mental even by women's shoes standards.

Loon - how the hell could anybody wear THEM?

Where are the heels?

Are they for a girrafe, or possibly a tapir?
( The Disappointed Caravanner of the year, Mon 13 Apr 2009, 20:30, Reply)

I found those linked elsewhere.
I really know little about them- but they look feasible enough to me. As I understand it, the key to walking in ridiculously tall and thin stiletto heels is to walk on the balls of your feet and not put any weight on the heels themselves. These shoes just take it to the next logical step.

Also, if you draw a line from the center point of the model's leg straight down, it passes through the flat part of the sole where it meets the ground. They're stable enough.
( The Resident Loon Not a demographic. Do not measure., Mon 13 Apr 2009, 20:33, Reply)

I didn't think
That you'd have been sizing them up for yourself, but surely they'll need a LOT of thigh muscle to make them work.

When you walk, you lean back and with every stride you effectively power off your heels because that's the straight route off your calves.

Then again, I'm not a fashion model so how would I know?
( The Disappointed Caravanner of the year, Mon 13 Apr 2009, 20:42, Reply)

Ah, the science of shoes
Work is making my brain sad on a Monday night. I wants to be out having the funs :(
(PenguinOfDeath is Scottish, and most likely angry, Mon 13 Apr 2009, 20:45, Reply)

Ever walk on tiptoes?
That's basically what she's doing in that pic, only she can rest her heel against that thin sliver on the back of the shoe for balance. All of her weight would be on the balls of her feet, and almost none at all on her heels.

I would think that those shoes are meant to be seen as you walk or stand for a few moments between long spells of sitting.

Or at the weekend.
