It's still heels for long skirts and flats (or low heels) for short, right?

is there a rule about that kind of thing?
haha, thx E! (tho i'm not sure i'm gonna do drag this year again -- i may just re-use my dionysos costume from this summer)

Don't tell me, this is yet another of the rules that I was raised on that everyone else stopped going by years before I was born.

fwiw Abbott is correct re: sizing difference
― tangelo amour (elmo argonaut), Tuesday, 14 September 2010 17:17 (thirteen years ago) link
Off-topic, sorry, re flats v heels etc: There's no rule anymore really, it's harder than that, cos it's about proportion and your body and overall image, ie with something tight and oh say '50s sex-kitten-ish, some pointy little heels (maybe even dainty?) will probably go better than flats. Yr skin-tight American Apparel hipster leggings probably look kinda slutty with heels, better w flats.
Otoh it's true that no one get-up needs all the va-va-voom while other outfits get none, so sort of...pick one or maybe two "hot" item(s) per outfit and adjust everything else to accentuate/contrast.

I had a friend who went to SF in high school with the goal of getting some stripper heels to fit his size 11 feet. He did not know the +2 size difference and bought some size 11W when he should have bought some size 13W. They looked like these:
http://www.fantasiawear.com/ImagesShoe/pssky309z-black-shoe.jpg
I had the first Elric novel, he wanted & he convinced me to trade the shoes for them. I went over to his house & we were going to play video games together but he said I had to wear the shoes while I did. This was a highly socially awkward night.
Now my sister wears the shoes when she vacuums her apartment...she is 5'11" top begin with so this is some serious Amazon vacuuming.

I should say, he was going to SF for some school thing, and his secondary goal was to attain stripper heels.

xp - what? how is that amazonian? i can see if you had to lift the vacuum over your head or something - or if you were converting the vacuum into a rocket - but just pushing the thing around the rooms of your standard tract home - does not require much effort at all.
― sarahel, Wednesday, 15 September 2010 09:30 (thirteen years ago) link
No it's just that in the heels she'd like 6'6". I am sorry I did not mean she was literally doing vicious one-breasted warrioress activities.

The gape would not be invisible, it's not as discrete as you'd think.

the jet in the Lynda Carter tv series confused me as a kid because you could still see her -

What really confused me was how this character that could bend metal bars and lift trucks somehow managed to get tied up every episode.

Fifteen years ago, the fetish communities were the Internet's best source of original fiction, and the transformation people were at the top of the list. I don't know how much of it has survived, though.

I wish I had more occasions to cross dress, I honestly do. It's not that it has to be Halloween, or that I need a particular excuse, I just hate the feeling of being all dressed up and having nowhere to go.

Try Seche Vite top coat next time. And clean your nails with nail polish remover first to make sure there's no oil on your nails. That will help the color stick longer.

SV goes on like the nectar of the gods, but it shrinks back from the edges on the 2nd or 3rd day, depending on the exact formulas of the polishes underneath. The Hard as Nails is almost as glossy as SV but seems less inclined to pull away.

I bought the most adorable little dress for $5 that I'm going to wear out tonight! I'm gonna have to wear the girl jeans I already have (or maybe my skintight black men's skinny jeans?) under it cause it's too short/sheer to wear without something under and I don't have anything else suitable. Also gonna paint my nails again & wear lip gloss. It'll be so cute.
