Embarassing moments

I was at a party this festive season.
After having crouched down to pick a wayward profiterole off the floor.
I then rose only to find that I while crouching I had stood the hem of my longish skirt with my heels.
The heels ripped through the hem of my skirt and I found myself launched directly into the guys arms who I had been giving the brush off.

I left covered in his wine with a huge tear in the back of my skirt.
Lol, I must have a thousand such stories.

What have your worst heel moments been?.

I was lounging on my bed and studying for a presentation I was to give. Since I wasn't expecting anyone to drop by, I had put on a pair of black patent high stiletto heeled pumps. Well, you guessed it. Not only did someone drop by, they came in unannounced and to top it off they were my supervisors, who were obviously amused at the sight. I was so surprised and embarrassed I nearly blacked out as I quickly rose to greet them. They didn't know, nor did I want them to know of my heeling desires at that paticular time. Now that I look back at this situation, there went another opportunity to break out of my secret world and I was so socially interverted I couldn't see it.

Gosh I suppose male heel wearers would be able to outstrip any of my embarrasing moments.
Did you explain it to them?.

I'm sure everyone has moments of extreme embarrassments. Life has a way of delving them out.

I didn't exlpain anything to them. At that time I was in the secretive mode of heeling and not yet ready to defend my desires, so I coward down, put my heels away, and said nothing about what they had caused. I never saw them again, but have often wondered what I would say to them now. Who knows maybe I opened a window of enlightenment and they are now on this forum expressing their heeling experiences.

Just over this chrismas break, my Mum and Dad went out shopping and so I wore my 7" platforms heels with straps. Will I know how long they go out for and they never come back straight into the house any way so I can hear them open the the front door which give me time to tale my heels off.
After about 10 mimutes I heard the front door open and had to dash back into my bed room and started to take my heels off behind my bed and My Auntie came straight into the hallway outside my bedroom and started talking to me while I was taking my heels of. Luckly for me my Auntie didn,t see me wearing my heels, but that was I bit to close. That could of been embarassing

OMG!

I hope you were able to convert that launch into a headbutt... I hope he got the dry cleaning / repair bill for his carelessness!

Cant say I have had many moments other than lounging around watching tv or on PC or something when my brother decided to get a DVD from my room. To that day, I discovered wardrobe doors make good dressing screens, a bit like those boudoir screens but in MDF!

When I was living outside of London, I bought a new pair of boots for a night out the following evening.

The next day I travelled up to London and was wandering around to grab a bite to eat before going into the club when my right heel snapped in half.

There was no way I could repair it, nowhere open I could buy an alternative emergency pair of shoes and no way I could get home to grab another pair.

I survived the night without walking like a lame horse and even managed to get some dancing in, but it was embarassing having to explain my mishap to the people who noticed.

Needless to say, those boots went straight back to the shop the next day for a refund.

There's nothing more annoying than bad workmanship to ruin an otherwise good thing. Interesting to know if it was a big name shop allegedly! Almost as bad as a bad cobbler!

I bought them from an independant retailer, but they were made by Shelly's.

I had the same thing happen twice now but the heel came right off.
The 1st time I was hopping off a gently moving bus in Stoke Newington.
I fell and wrecked my tights, cut my knee too.
Thankfully?,I was too overcome by pain to be embarassed.

I stayed well away from cheap shoes since then. It could have been much worse.
