Sao Paulo metropolitan area has almost 13 milion people and I keep an eye open to avoid meeting people I don't want to see me in heels...

Kneehighs you're da man! Meet a girl 2.5 years later and she remembers your eyes and heels!!! What did you do to her that time?

I agree with Flavio. That's some kind of style and presense to have a women remember you like that.

Tonight I found myself at a club at 100 Lafayette. Upon entering, I was wearing a Kenneth Cole creme colored tunic, a Cloak vest, dark indigo blue Urban Outfitters Straight Leg jeans, 4" Nine West pumps, and TO PERSONALIZE my look, I added 2 necklaces, which gave the look a bohemian feel. The bouncer at the door said, "I like your outfit," which had to include my pumps, since they were blatantly within view.

At the beginning of the night, I was scrolling through my text messages and stumbled upon an old text message from a girl who I met on the sidewalks of New York. We had a date at Pylos at 9:00 and she texted, "Running late...broken heel, sure you understand" Ha! What a memory.

Anyway, the night got really interesting when I approached a girl in gladiator sandals and opened with ,"It's just not fair..." "Just not fair what?" she replied. "Compare my shoes with yours" and I did the obligatory toe box comparison. She started to laugh out loud -- literally. Then she bent down to look at the heels and asked me how high they were. Immediately thereafter, she motioned her male friend over.

At this point I didn't know what to expect, but this is where the story really gets juicy. He asked me, "How the hell can you wear those heels? I've worn heels before...." "Really, for Halloween or just for Business As Usual social stuff?" I asked.

"On a regular night out. It's 2008 man...we only live once and I might as well have fun living my life the way I want to..."

Very cool. Another man who has worn high heels! The girl soon went on to discuss heels with me, warning me against trying certain brands, lest I become addicted. He was also really cool about my Nine West 4" black pumps. He said not a lot of guys can pull of the look as they might wind up looking like a rhino on toothpicks....but that's besides the point.

Hopefully this guy is inspired to wear heels again as result of meeting me tonight.

Can't wait to explore the London nightlife in September when I'm there. It's ALWAYS a ball!

Kneehighs...

What a great night for you. And to meet another man who wears high heels and talks openly to you about them. You are lucky to have met this couple and their openess about wearing high heels. Congratulations on your evening.

Kneehighs:-)

Another inspiring story from you. Congrats again. You certainly are an amazing heel wearing and dashing fellow who continues to inspire both male and females on wearing heels. Hopefully you have awakened the desire in that one male to start wearing heels again.

Cheers---

I think I have the phrase that fits kneehighs well :D

"the streets, the great unknown, these are the continuing stories of kneehighs, his everyday mission, to meet unusual new women, seek out new parteners and more heels, and to boldly heel where no man has heeled before"

trekkieish but hey it works :P

i swear it's going to be sigged :P

needs a tv show we can call "heel trek"

Good prologue. I would, however, take out the word "strange." To me, it would mean that kneehighs has an attraction for "strange" women....meaning "different" or "unusual" -- "different from normal." While we all know that kh does tend toward "unusual" women

, we'd prefer to think his attraction is universal the "entire" female population of the earth and not just a few...
Let's type cast him.

I generally find it somewhat tedious to recount all my adventures over and over, so I keep the posts to a minimum here to present you with the more interesting adventures I've had.

Last night definitely qualified as interesting. I decided to go out wearing a grey French Connection top with a neck bow, a black Zara ruffled vest worn over the French Connection top, black shorts, and black 4" Nine West pumps. Yes, you read that right, shorts with pumps--it was a kneehighs first. HERE is picture some random girl took for me on the street.

Since wearing shorts and stilettos is quite risque, I decided to experiment with this look in an environment where safety was my primary concern. I figured I first started wearing heels openly at goth clubs, so I would revisit the environment that nurtured the commencement of my public freestyling way back in 2002. I jumped in a cab and off I went.

I soon discovered that not much really changes even when you are wearing stilettos with shorts. In that picture, you saw my bare leg and the 5" pump clad foot of the promoter of last night's party. She said I looked "really pretty" which isn't exactly the response I necessarily seek, but a positive response nonetheless and really, what should I expect wearing pumps and shorts?

The first girl I approached for the evening was a blonde standing by a pillar. We chatted for about one nano-second before she decided to go somewhere else. At first I didn't know what to think about her sudden departure, but being the persistent individual that I am, I re-approached her later on in the evening. I opened with ,"we had such a deep conversation last time we talked, I can't believe I didn't even get your name..." and the from thereon, I had a buddy for the night. The obligatory shoe comparison was done too and within minutes, we both were laughing in stitches over all sorts of fun things we talked about. My heels oddly never became a topic of conversation.

While at the bar I noticed a damsel in distress. She was trying to get a drink, but being overlooked by the bartender. I cracked some conversation with her too. Turns out she was a promoter too, but for another night. I said, "How dare she make you wait so long for a drink?" and that got a laugh from her. After about five minutes she was still waiting for her drink, and since I didn't share her problem with the bartender, I motioned the bartender over and ordered her drink for her. That set her free, but not without doing the obligatory shoe comparison..

By the way, I never opened with the usual line, "my shoes are pointier than yours," last night. It was strictly ad lib introductions last night. Here is the last shoe comparison test I did last night. I have several photos of my myself with the girls, but I look terrible in them (my neck looks like a wrinkled Shar-Pei and it's not really).

So I decided to leave Tribeca, but not without first jumping in a cab to quickly check out the scene in the Meat Packing District. The scene there is so old and over now, but its always good for some weekend night sight seeing. Wow! 95% of the girls must have been wearing stilettos. It was fun walking up Greenwich Street past a group of 5 girls. The girl at the front of the group smiled at me as I approached. Two guys approached me and asked me which way to "the p[expletive term deleted by kneehighs]?" Good thing to know that guys still presumably thought I was straight despite being in stilettos and shorts.

Overall, it was a good night. Will I wear shorts and stiletto pumps again? Maybe. It was a lot of fun to be honest. Truthfully, I did it because it's seasonally justified in summer time. It's a "summery" look and one that I can't really see myself wearing any other season. Wearing shorts and stilettos is by no means necessary to amp up my freestyling experience.

p.s. One note. For those that think the only time I wear stilettos is at night, there are plenty of posts in this thread about my wearing stilettos during daylight too...it's just these night life posts are more "sexy" and memorable and thus easier to recall.
