aah I wish I lived in NYC... nice story. Wish I could have been there, despite being a goth among non-goths. It is still about having fun that matters the most.

The grass is always greener on the other side of the fence. You wish you lived in NYC. I wish I lived in Europe. Even Amsterdam would be cool with me. In fact, once I get my law degree, I'm going to see if I can do an expat program to live in Europe. Less work hours per week. Less stress. FIVE full paid weeks of vacation plus holidays. Europeans truly work to live, whereas Americans live to work.

Also if you ever visit nyc, there are a few goth clubs here, but the scene seems to be dying out. http://www.vamp.org/Gothic/clublist.html

What a great collection of pics there. You really know how to have fun. Thanks for documenting it for us all. Do you wear pantyhose with your stiletto pointy-toed pumps? It looks like it in some of the pics. It would be interesting to read any comments told to you by the girls about you wearing stilettos. Got any?
Cheers---

Well, I cut a strip about 1 inch wide from pantyhose that I wrap around my toes to prevent them from becoming sore, but thats all.

As far as getting comments from the girls, I brought up the subject just once and that was it. If the other women noticed (and they had to) they didn't mention anything about my heels and it certainly didn't stop us from having fun and enjoying each others company. I didn't capture a pic of the one girl I did discuss freestyling with, but her initial reaction was negative. So, I took her on a tour of historical Europe, explained that stilettos weren't invented until after WWII, and therefore its nothing but a socially constructed stereotype that the high heel is for woman only. By showing that kilt wearing is actually a "masculine" activity in Scotland, she then agreed with my position that these are socially constructed stereotypes and nothing more. But I was having alot of fun and didn't feel like going into an equally heavy discussion on the whole "men in heels = gay" thing, so I politely exited the conversation while I was ahead and never talked to her again for the rest of the night.

Thanks for the conversation up-date. Then, except for the inch wide piece of pantyhose, you wear your pumps barefoot. Very interesting.

Tue. night, Meatpacking District, Manhattan
Dinner and drinks at Jean Georges Spice Market, drinks at One, drinks at the Underbar Lounge at the W Hotel in Union Square with this girl
Of course, I'm in my knee high stiletto boots, Cloak military/safari shirt, and H and M pinstriped pants--like this

It was just me and her, hanging out for a night on the town. The New York Times food critic actually gave Spice Market a three star out of a four star rating. Being that only 7/19,500 restaurants received a four star rating and 40/19,500 restaurants received a three star rating, I thought this was going to be a good meal. The ambiance was good, but the service lackluster and the food overpriced for the quality/value we got. I won't be going back. Plus, the waiter didn't even say "good bye" when we left. A good server IMHO will always cross paths with you on the way out, maybe smile and make good eye contact, and say thanks.

From there we went to One for a drink. Then we walked to the L-train station at Eighth Avenue and took the L-train to Union Square. We decided to go to the Underbar Lounge at the W Hotel where we remained for the rest of the evening. What was nice is that I was wearing my stiletto pointy boots for our first time out together.

Eventually, I asked her what she thought of my shoes. So I held up my stiletto and aimed it towards her leg. She ran her fingers over the stiletto heel, massaged her hand across the side and then ran her fingers over my pointy toe. Then she said, "Yeah, I think they are cute."...a couple of hours before, she mentioned that people don't even really notice the heels. I think my non-chalance about the heels helped actually. She did ask me why? to which I replied, "It makes my legs appear longer and it adds height. Since I have short legs, the heels produce a good overall effect." She nodded her head up and down as I was talking, so I knew non-verbally that she was buying my explanation. After that, I never had to explain myself again. Somehow the topic of "metrosexuality" did come up. I asked her if she thought I was a "metrosexual" and she said this respectfully, "Ya. First of all, you wear womens shoes. And you like fashion and you like to go to nice places and you are well groomed. You are well mannered, easy to talk to....(ooops my attention was diverted to the hot blonde in black pumps so I pretended to listen but my head was elsewhere :)"

In stealth mode -- when she was in the bathroom -- I was able to catch these pics of this blonde beauty at the Underbar Lounge in the W HOTEL in Union Square. Thought you guys would like the view.

A great night over all. And for you single Freestylers, have you ever worn your heels on a first date? Its a blast... You really have very little to lose and alot to gain. This girl wants to hang out again, but I doubt I'll arrange the logistics to do that.

A very pretty girl and great night too!

Looking forward to going out for a nice evening meal and drink with my girlfriend at some point soon and both of us sporting some cute shoes or boots!

I'm not a lawyer yet...thats three years away. Thanks for the "thought" though. My current job doesn't make me penniless though either...I'm pushing molehills of paper now. When I'm a lawyer Im gonna move mountains! (probably as an insurance litigator, since in the U.S. they spend more time litigating and filing motions than any other type of lawyer).

I'm just going out alot now becuase I am on leave of absence from work. This last year, I will have worked just 28/52 weeks (remember I told you I don't like my job lol).

Going out tonight too!
