How to walk in high heels (New video)

Ok. I have made another "How to walk in high heels" video. This one is in two parts, so far. It includes stretches, exercises, and techniques that should help you hone your high heel abilities to a stiletto point. Please leave comments so I can continue to expand and improve it. I have tried to address the issues and questions that have been presented to me. But, of course, as soon as I was done, I was thinking of other things I should have included. Some good information from the first video was left out, such as how to put on or stretch shoes. I will get back to that in Pt. III.

Personally, I think this is a much better version, and I hope you will find it so too. However, THE AUDIO ABSOLUTELY SUCKS!!! Sorry! But, if you turn it up and can stand the "noise," it is possible to hear at least 90% of it.

Now. this may seem like a terrible thing (and, really, it is a damn shame). But, I urge you to look at it this way: You are that much closer to experiencing me in person! Yes, I am not proud to have to admit that fading away as I speak is something that I have been accused of all my life. I am working on it and have made lots of progress, but it is just one of the many vestiges of the extreme shyness that characterized much of my life. Soooo,....that's the best spin I could think of. I will do better next time, since I am now more aware of the limitations of my equipment. (Hopefully, my other "equipment" will be able to distract you from the pain.)

Actual Heel Heights: What they are calling 6" heels

When I am in the market for a pair of 6" heels, I find that I am repeatedly frustrated by inaccurate representations. What I mean is, when a shoe is presented as having a 6" heel, it is actually infrequently the case that the heel of the shoe I order is actually 6". I wear a size 7.5 US. 6" heels in this size are usually anywhere from 5.5" to 5.75". I feel betrayed when I get this shoe that I have undoubtedly been waiting for with great anticipation. I can tell instantly when the heel is even .25" off the beloved 6".

So, I decided to record the actual heel heights of the different shoes I have that were sold as 6" heels. Then...I decided that y'all might be interested too. Keep in mind however, that at a different size, probably size 8 US, the heel of a particular model shoe may very well be 6". That is because some shoe companies (most, it seems) scale the heel according to the shoe size, while other companies (few, it seems) have a set heel height for each shoe model. I think one should be able to get accurate information about heel heights ... easily. Wouldn't that be cool? Because these things are important to some of us ... right?

Chicks66' Flickr Photostream

I have added a cool Cooliris 3D photo wall at the bottom of this page. It includes my whole Flickr photostream. It has my art (such as it is) and photos and some of my collected pics. I happen to love Cooliris. It is a free download and it is just the best way to view pics on the web, and now it even works to view pics on your own computer. It makes image searches load really fast and the pics are super clear. Anyway, I hope you can enjoy my art (comments welcome, please). I have never shared it before. So, I am a little nervous about that. But, I just wanted to share another dimension of myself.

Oh, yeah. You can see goofy me the night before Easter, getting my daughter's Easter stuff ready and sewing my latest corset (my second) in a pair of bunny ears, my first corset and a pair of... you guessed it!...6" heels! Wow! Who is this woman?!

New pics

Here are a few new pics grabbed from videos soon to be found here and on You Tube...

You want a piece of this?

I have added a new feature to my page. You can now download a picture of me or my shoes or my art as desktop wallpaper. (Presently, there is only one picture available as I am still working out how to make it happen so it is easy for you and streamlined for the page.)

Each picture will be 11" x 8" at 300 pixels per inch. That is, unless I find out that there is a better size. Please feel free to clue me in or to let me know if that is not a size that works for you.

I am going to charge a little bit for each picture and collect the funds for a project I have in mind. More on that at a later date.

You may note that it is not even a shoe related picture. True. Hmmm. Well, I have no excuse. More will come soon. I would be interested in your opinions as to what kinds of pictures you would like to see. Do tell! Please!!
