Rep Power: 5  | Re: World Heel Meet 2007: Testimonials Hallo,
a special thanks voor kneehights and all the afford he has put in to make this happen.
Indead he had dinner on the friday evening. On the start it was only my wondering was this Alfreds restaurant where there was a table resevated. With Pumps we waited to get the table and soon pick from the street other members. With 7 of us talking start eating becouse some of them want to get to a show of ..... After they where left, kneehights and 3 others filled up the gap after shopping for the TG party and join eating and a lot talking. And after some walking throu the centre looking at a lot of heels and we had a glance from the roof of kneehight appartment to the Soho-bar. Very nice.
From that time I went to my bed in the Winrose hotel. All time walking in black boots with a solled 3" heel. A good exercise for the saterday to meet all of the group.
On saterday morning met Robert at the breakfast table and went on later to the Starbucks in the same black boots. As the group expent there it was nice to get at the Miller. Free space, low musicklevel, good food and people to talk to. Many thanks to Tara and ...... had found this place and talk to them to get open for us.
After the pictures went back to my hotel for a beauty sleep and give my feed a rest. And to be prepared for the heavy duty that follows on the TG party.
But for dinner I had to meet up others at the Astor Court Hotel. And there I ask frindly to the young lady behind the desk if she could help my finding the adress map of the party. Finally comming to the side of TG there it was. But her eyes went open as her mouth when she saw the opening page here. I don't know if she went later on looking to that or not. By me she got a eye opener.
At the TG, Robert and I met others in the walking line to collect the ticket (from internet buying). All that was good laid out and easy going in. Perhaps it was still early say 23:15 and not many where in but after us the stream of people continues on and on. There was the hole spectrum from almost naked to full dressed uniforms in lack,latex, leder etc. Heels from flat to 8" with or without platform. And for my (Maria) black knee ballet boots had a lot of positive reactions. That kept her going as she was pride that she was able to walk in thies boots arround in here. I hope to get a few pictures from the photographers at this place to let you all know how it looks there.
But on every thing comes an end so this wonderful weekend too meet other heel loving people. On sunday back to home and the work that has to be done there.
Perhaps see others at the next meeting, enjoy your heels

BTW FF, you should have said I could have easily have loaned/given you something. | Hey thanks Dr Shoe
I do have one or two things at home which would probably get by and I could do thigh boots and an innovative top half. If anyone wants to do TG again sometime, I'd be up for it. |

My Mood: Rep Power: 0  | Re: World Heel Meet 2007: Testimonials Wow! What a great group of people! I enjoyed meeting all and especially witnessing their evolution in the enjoyment of wearing heels. I was thrilled to be a part of some of the first time experiences such as wearing heels in public.
I believe we all need to be who ever it is that we truly are. To find a group that is working toward truly being themselves is just the coolest.
And to get the feed back that they did from some of the public and other members is priceless.
iloveboots and I were there for a whirlwind of 5 days with the high point being TG or Torture Gardens. To see the plethora of human expression was unbeatable.
I was especially impressed with the efforts of kneehighs to make this trip a reality and to ensure that all were comfortable. The extra effort he personally made to see that each and every member was enjoying him/her self was commendable.
As I'm not sure of the handles of the members I met I just want to say that I thought you all were really great people. I would definitely want to be a part of any group endeavor you undertake again.

Congratulations Kneehighs and helpers for a record attendance (Firefox
and Dr Shoe have said 29 and 27 respectively by telephone).
So sorry I had to drop-out due to jazz band dates Fri/Sat/Sun!
Kneehighs - can you edit your photographs posting to add a left-to-right
legend under the pics to let us all know who is who?
Congrats again! Cheers, Heelfan

Rep Power: 7  | Re: World Heel Meet 2007: Testimonials It sounds as though a good time was had by all and I found the individual accounts interesting. No doubt there will be some more pictures to see shortly.
May I congratulate admirer5577 on his detailed account of the weekend, all expressed in excellent English. I liked his comment about Camden Town being '... an area I loved from the first moment I sat my foot there.'. Not quite the correct idiom (better to say 'set foot there' or 'set foot in it') but we certainly get the picture! [I'm rather reminded of the remote part of Africa described by an explorer as being a place 'where the hand of man has never set foot.' Quite!] |

Heelfan I can get to that soon, I promise...I'm still in Europe for another week and a half on holidays though and am trying to stay offline...visiting castles in the hills of Ireland etc.
