My Mood: Rep Power: 29  | Here are some pics bluetango posted of his first time out in stilettos. Not only did he post pics (a contribution in it of itself), but he also exposed his face (a courageous decision I applaud). I think he did a good job color coordinating the blue denim jacket with the black pants. click here Victoria's Secret snakeskin print bootie |

My Mood: Rep Power: 9  | Those boots are an awesome look on anyone. I saw a girl in my store the other day and she had on leopard print pumps. They looked tastefully done with her outfit. Now if only I have better luck shoe shopping...hehe. |

Hello everyone, my name is Geoffrey (Zero) and I'd like to share my creative idea. However, my inspiration sources have their own originality and I shall do my best to alter it to my image. My inspiration main source comes from a hard rock band Motley Crue. In the 80's they ruled and it never was weird to appear on heels wether you were a male or female. Alternative lifestyle people are very openminded and don't care much about mainsteam dressing codes. Do as you please, however some opinions among them varray. Some give green light to the color pink, some despise it.
Still from this position I shall gather all ideas I can match with the dark style I follow, as most oftenly called 'goth'. Not just because most of time my clothing is black only, but also the hobbies I have that fill this style, following up by my taste of music and movies.
In my campaign to sort of invade the stream with the look I have in mind, they rather be shocked then impressed. Gathering from their responds, I can tell wether they underestimate me or despise me, and some even gather the guts to interest in me and even talk to me. Yet I am a youngster who just past the start of the 20's and thus I cannot influence the fashionworld of older people, unless I really steal the show. This means I have to contact an old buddy of mine who took photo's of me on the Fantasy Fair I visited last year. I was wearing a black soft long coat (combination of matrix and pirates) but more likely the high hat I was wearing that drew his attention. He studies the arts of photography and life style and he really was interested in my 19th centure looks. After a chat, he showed me photoes of other goth types of people and I saw a couple of cybergoths who had incredible monstrous shoes. By all means, we have our own fashion line globally and of course a goth guy wearing high heels is more oftenly accepted by his own kind, rather than mainstream people who never really were interested in dark styles themselves.
Aside all that, I got a real american looking citizen coat, long (almost reaching my ankles) and black normal looking pants. I got long hair, still not long enough and it reaches my shoulders by now. So I can also look really regular in black clothing as well. In this position I'd also be glad to wear high heels for public display. Yet all I can do is contact people and do my display on the streets and down town.
You will be hearing from me soon enough and it will get more interesting once I can share pictures of me. Also I hope I can encourage other (cyber) goth boys to wear high heels as well. Since we have our own dutch goth movement, I observe and learn from them that they are always looking for something new within their styles of clothing and lately the goth style of Lolita cuteness (a wave from Japan) infected most of the girls in this movement, but the time has arrived for the boys to do something of their own. Then let me start to set the first fire...

A well thought out and co-ordinated outfit, and a face to go with the pic.
Congrats on both cases.

The white long sleeved tee is from Tescos, the T-Shirt I bought in Topman (great place for tees!), the jeans are my GAP ones again, and the zipped sweater/jacket is by Sixty (bought in USC Oxford).
Now you're thinking, "why is he getting all excited over his T-Shirt and Jeans?" Well, it's the first time I've seen a picture of myself and grin with delight on how good it looks on me with those shoes! :) I'm not over selling myself or loving myself too much here, it's just that I've just found an outfit I'd 100% be happy wearing in public without much doubt. (I'd wear the other ones too but this one really stands out for me!) | Heel-D, I think these outfits are amazing! The Tesco t-shirt design displays personality, the layering makes it look cool, the Sixty jacket/coat is great.
I would think these outfits (with a little higher heel showing) could easily pass in The Fashion Spot's What are you wearing today? thread. Good job, looks like hhplace has an up and coming fashion maven! |

My Mood: Rep Power: 9  | Great Outfits! Have you worn them outside? What response do you get?
I had no idea that flats can make an outfit look that good. Looking forward to meet in the next NY heelmet! |

Rep Power: 3  | I'm not here to post an entire article about the new style I've discovered but only a glimpse you may percept.
It is Kodona from Japan, or in other words Lolita Goth for men (streetwear). Of course the high heels suit perfectly ^^ http://i12.photobucket.com/albums/a2...kodonakids.jpg
I will post more about it in the goth topics I've posted on the other boards.

Those outfits look smashing on you. Have you tried them out in public yet? What was the reactions? I'm not much on flats, but you made them look good with those outfits.
