Re: Kilty
[quote="Since1982"]Kilty, I truely believe you ARE Jermaine. You make all the identical type comments he made on IMFF. You seem to have either cropped and saved all HIS posts and MY posts to HIM for some unfathomable reason. Your picture of yourself when compared to the picture of himself that Jermaine posted on IMFF are nearly identical, (different skirts).quote]
Oh, Skip, Skip... ease up, mate. This is a typical comment that you make when you don't like something people say. I've no idea who this Jermaine guy is, just when I was investigating MIS, I stumbled upon IMFF.
I'm quite sure you're not saying 'all black guys look the same, so I guess its the same person', or are you? I havent threatened violence on you, nor do I plan to. I don't know if IMFF will be back in future, then I'd look at these allegations you're making (if they are still online by then).
Black people don't all look the same, perhaps you don't see many apart from TV in your neck of the woods.
Like Jeff (not to draw him into this childish strop of yours against me) we are all individuals with choices. Though I may not choose some of the areas of freestyling (as has previously been mentioned in earlier posts), I didn't say it was WRONG, just it's not for me.
Some people wear skirts as fashion freedom or as an alternative (I'd love to see kilt suits come down in price and be more mainstream one day),
where upon looking on your picture, I don't know if it is because they don't do trousers (you might know these as PANTS) in your size, so the skirt is the next best thing
I'm not going to make any personal attacks on you but if I were you, I'd think before you type if I were you. I'm going to end this before this erupts and perhaps this thread will be locked. Lets not use the forum as a vehicle to attack each other.
All I said was in jest, and if I was this Jermaine character, I would request to Bob when I joined this forum to enter my name as Jermaine. I don't hide who I am, I just tell it how it is.
Just so you know, my real name is Simon Hyland, I live in London SW16, my other hobby is a Railway Enthusiast. I go up and down the UK in my kilt (as said before, some family members don't like it.) Don't be throwing around accusations you cannot back up.
Where are YOUR pictures? Are you just here to lurk and make snide remarks in the hope that you can get people chucked out of forums? You need to get a life, sunshine

No sniping.
Gentlemen, please don't make the administrators reach for their "mod hats". They've likely got better things to do than ride herd on bad behaviour.
Inter-personal sniping in an on-line forum is both indecorous and discourteous. If you wish to "have at it" between yourselves, that's what e-mail is for; spare the rest of us.

Oh yes please. And then I can stop wearing my men's shirt with my woman's skirt, my bisexual boots, my female tights and my male jacket!Pushing forward, I'd like to see a stop to the usage of the terms "mens'" and "womens'" clothing; call the garment what it is -- if it's a skirt, call it a skirt; if it's legwear, call it legwear. Just be honest, and don't assign gender to a piece of cloth.
Instead, I can just wear my clothes.

I thought high-heels were invented, purely and simply, to make the wearer a couple of inches taller(?). In general, women are shorter than men, which is why they are (still) more likely to wear them. Apart from which, a woman's natural posture is better suited to wearing them. Men's body posture is quite different, which is why, aesthetically, they generally (99.9%) look 'wrong' wearing high-heels. I, for one, would just love to 'break the (perceived) link' between skirts and high-heels. I've heard too many women complain that they'd prefer to wear skirts, but don't like wearing high-heels. The look of astonishment when one replies, "So don't wear the heels, then!" is always most amusing...............!jamie001 wrote:I forget to add that all of the fashion items that we argue about like high heels were invented for men. George Washington even wore high-heels to his inaugural ball.

This is where us men have a new slate to write on. The things that women get tied into with regards to fashion are pretty complex. I personally think heels are the stupidest form of footgear next to flipflops. I know a lady in her 60's that suffers from terribly deformed feet from years of high heels, very painful, and could not conceive of just chucking them and wearing regular wide and comfortable walking shoes. Go figure...
Call me a naturalist...
btw: my computer got electrocuted last night, and I'm just now up and running with a new/used system. Darn lightning storm...

My understanding of high heels is the were actually meant for more positive engagement in riding stirrups on horses, and really came about for knights.

Brother Tailor,
You made an interesting point about high heels:
I know a lady in her 60's that suffers from terribly deformed feet from years of high heels, very painful, and could not conceive of just chucking them and wearing regular wide and comfortable walking shoes
The answer to your question is the same answer to why men find it difficult to go out in public in skirts: social pressure.
While there is utility to high heels as others have pointed out, the main reason for high heels is sexual attraction.
Heels put the body into a posture that sends out signals of sexuality and availablitity. Some even call them "F*ck me" shoes
After wearing heels for many years, I too have deformities in my feet. Even finding flat shoes that do not cause considerable pain is difficulty.
On Monday when I attended the hearing at the State House, I did wear heels, but they had chunky heels, round toe and a deep toe box.. I almost didn't make it back to my car after the hearing I couldn't walk for two days.

Interesting discussion about heels, and pumps. When wearing skirts other than again the example, Utilikilts, men's shoes don't always look right, and without wanting to look like the hooker on the corner, it's damned difficult to find other shoes which have some fine lines, and just look good.
Of course I'm talking about women's shoes because there just aren't any men's shoes that are suitable. All too large, dominant. Nothing wrong with that, but when wanting finer shoes to match your skirt, you must have women's STYLE shoes. Here is where a market is for makers of shoes to fill in. Think of it like Italian design shoes and a suit, worker's boots with a Utilikilt.
When the feminine extras are removed from various shoes they are really nice shoes. Take the high heel off others, replace it with a sturdy low heel and you have good wearable fine shoes which you can't do the New York marathon in, but you can enjoy wearing. It's about looking good. Men wearing skirts are not always working in the timber trade or whatever, but also go golfing, can go to the office, to shows etc. And therefore neat shoes are appropriate and I think that skirts give more opportunities to adjust your clothing to your wishes than pants will ever do.
As just wearing only pants is the easy way out, once you start wearing skirts, you may awaken to new possibilitys you saw but never before thought would be for you also.
Having other shoes than there are now for men will expand the possibilities very much and make more clothing combinations possible.
Once you begin to see the possibilities there are, you begin to understand why women have so many different pieces of clothing and shoes to match. It's fun.
Ok this may not be super masculine, but are men in Italian suits masculine? So when you get dressed up for the theater, put on a neat skirt, even pantys to give your legs that nice even colour, and those men's pumps, and you'll steel the show. That's being masculine but dressed up.

A man is the same man in a pair of pants or a skirt. It is only the way people look at him that makes the difference.
I find the shoe discussion kinda funny.
I presented several examples of my stylings, and one of the more frequent knocks were my footwear.
ALL of the shoes and boots I wore were designated male shoes, bought in the men's section, as were the shirts, and a couple of pair of hose.
The footwear is a major sticking point.
One time I wore men's dress shoes with a my long shiny black broomstick skirt. One of the ladies (in baggy ugly jeans and t shirt, thank you very much) stated that that skirt demanded heels, or pumps. My flat heeled men's shoes "just didn't work".
My current view is of course it "just doesn't work". That is because it is uncommon, therefore it looks odd, or even wrong. Just like baggy pants, or bare legs under business skirts.
It needs to gain traction, which is impossibly if good ideas are not presented.

Pythos,
Why not try some women's low-heel flat pumps? They are feminine and look very good with a skirt. The problem with men's shoes is that they are all clod-hoppers. By genetics, the male foot is larger than the female foot. I don't understand why the hell shoe manufacturers design men's footwear to make the foot appear even larger!! It just doesn't make sense when the shoe could be designed to make the foot look smaller and sleek as is the case with women's shoes. Male shoes are totally utilitarian and have no aesthetic value.

I have also heard there is a phallic size connection to the size of one's feet. I don't believe it, but have heard it. One fellow I knew had a funny thing he said.
"you know what they say about a guy with big feet"
the listeners wait for some vulgar statement concerning penis size.
"They wear big shoes"
true, very true.
