Fred,
Can't really comment on numbers, but why should attendees wear heels just because it is a heel meet, surely its about meeting the faces and personalities being the handle rather than look at what I am brave enough to wear. Also remember the fear of being spotted and associated with a mean wearing high heels however remote a chance it is. You said back in March this year "
I do have something to fear if my whole social circle found out about my interest in wearing heels." So why should it be any different for anyone else. But I think this was before you followed my reasoning on the style of heel and having taken to wedges and block heels that you are now wearing heels. You see the prejudices still exist and I quote another of your posts from February "
However, I go out most nights, walking quieter streets. If I go out early, I usually go with a 'lady-friend' who enjoys the walks, but doesn't want her friends to meet us, as she'd rather not have to explain what's going on." this time its your walking partner who is afraid of the prejudices of being with a man in stiletto heels.
You have come a long way since you joined the board, and now wear sensible heels all over the place, but do you do this whereever you please? Have you put your past years behind you and now see heels as part of your fashion statement? I believe from your writings that you have. Bravo.
Would more of the members focus on the fashion aspect and less on their desires to wear stiletto heels they would also break free of the mould.
Simon.
