Anyway, I just discovered the blog of an Austrian girl writing about &lt;i&gt;her&lt;/i&gt; passion for high heels. Being of the opposite sex, she has of course the advantage of actually being able to wear them. And so she shows pictures of herself in her high heels, both equally beautiful. Her heels all seem to fall into the slim, elegant, pointy stiletto range of high heels - really sexy shoes, so (see &lt;a href="http://higherheel.blogspot.com/2006/12/my-high-heels.html"&gt;this post&lt;/a&gt; for example). She has long hair, and I personally much prefer short hair on a woman - it is very nice long hair though, I give her that! ;-)&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;a href="http://higherheel.blogspot.com/2006/12/my-high-heels.html"&gt;&lt;img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_IFjX6ExlBsQ/RXNzpwgm83I/AAAAAAAAAAs/L_JaHi5AqJ0/s320/white_highheels01.jpg" border="0" alt="" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Amazingly, she also has an obsession with corsets, and &lt;a href="http://corsetgirl.blogspot.com/"&gt;another blog&lt;/a&gt; dedicated to those! How much better can it get? :-)&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/19363585-116551575468497276?l=shoelirium.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://shoelirium.blogspot.com/feeds/116551575468497276/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=19363585&amp;postID=116551575468497276' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/19363585/posts/default/116551575468497276'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/19363585/posts/default/116551575468497276'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://shoelirium.blogspot.com/2006/12/high-heels-blog.html' title='High Heels Blog'/><author><name>Worshiper of Shoes</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_IFjX6ExlBsQ/RXNzpwgm83I/AAAAAAAAAAs/L_JaHi5AqJ0/s72-c/white_highheels01.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19363585.post-115823905616628505</id><published>2006-09-14T13:55:00.000+01:00</published><updated>2006-09-14T14:09:56.166+01:00</updated><title type='text'>Elegant Grey Open Toes</title><content type='html'>&lt;a href="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/3496/954/1600/a9_1.JPG.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/3496/954/320/a9_1.JPG.jpg" border="0" alt="Grey Gucci Open Toes" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;
&lt;p&gt;These are a beautiful pair from Gucci I saw on ebay recently. When the toes are pretty, I think open toed high heels are very sexy. This pair here also has a number of other virtues that I adore: they are slim, elegant and simple. They don't scream "footballer's wive" or "binge drinking idiot" in your face. Instead, they look smart, success- and powerful! Wow. And somehow, the fact that I know they are luxurious, expensive Guccis only adds to their sexiness.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;The second pair for today is also from &lt;a href="http://www.shoewawa.com/2006/07/buy_rochas_now_.html"&gt;Shoewawa&lt;/a&gt; (who, as I just found out, turned of their track back linking. What a pity). With this one I contradict what I had just said about loving shoes that don't look too fragile. Well, these ones do look somewhat fragile, with their stiletto heels and no platforms at all. However, I think shoes as elegant looking as these can be very empowering as well. Also, the combination of patent leather and texturing is very smart, I think. And that's really all I can say.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/19363585-115334842905332257?l=shoelirium.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://shoelirium.blogspot.com/feeds/115334842905332257/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=19363585&amp;postID=115334842905332257' title='2 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/19363585/posts/default/115334842905332257'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/19363585/posts/default/115334842905332257'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://shoelirium.blogspot.com/2006/07/no-platform-at-all.html' title='No Platform at all'/><author><name>Worshiper of Shoes</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>2</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19363585.post-115334748714445909</id><published>2006-07-19T23:07:00.000+01:00</published><updated>2006-07-19T23:20:47.553+01:00</updated><title type='text'>Patent Courts, slightly platform</title><content type='html'>&lt;p&gt;Ok, so I havn't posted anything here for months.

&lt;p&gt;Number one is about some shoes that I saw on &lt;a href="http://www.shoewawa.com/2006/07/could_you_pull_.html"&gt;Shoewawa&lt;/a&gt; recently. They play this game where you are given (well, presented) a pair of shoes and have to find a fitting outfit. To be honest, I'm not so interested in the outfits, but this particular pair of shoes I think is very sexy. Not fragile at all, very dominant, and the sort of hidden platform makes them very kinky. Shoewawa show the grey version on their site, but I personally prefer the black ones shown here.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/19363585-115334748714445909?l=shoelirium.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://shoelirium.blogspot.com/feeds/115334748714445909/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=19363585&amp;postID=115334748714445909' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/19363585/posts/default/115334748714445909'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/19363585/posts/default/115334748714445909'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://shoelirium.blogspot.com/2006/07/patent-courts-slightly-platform.html' title='Patent Courts, slightly platform'/><author><name>Worshiper of Shoes</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19363585.post-113891305856803476</id><published>2006-02-02T20:40:00.000Z</published><updated>2006-02-02T21:13:27.786Z</updated><title type='text'>Equal parts hooker heel and retro pump</title><content type='html'>&lt;a href="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/3496/954/1600/1104627020_exlg.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/3496/954/320/1104627020_exlg.jpg" border="0" alt="Killer Retro Pumps from Schuh" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;
&lt;a href="http://www.shoewawa.com/2006/02/killer_patent_p.html"&gt;Shoewawa&lt;/a&gt; have a post about what they call "Killer Patent Pumps". They are available at &lt;a href="http://www.schuhstore.co.uk/"&gt;Schuh&lt;/a&gt;, and quite kinky. I love this one sentence that Ms Shoewawa uses to describe the shoe: &lt;i&gt;"Quite how you'd walk in them is beyond me, but with the Gucci-esque detail on the back of the heel and the rounded pointy toe, they're equal parts hooker heel and retro pump, and epitomise the idea of a f*ck me pump"&lt;/i&gt;. What a wonderful combination! Showawa actually show the shiny version of the pump, but I like the more dull version shown here.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/19363585-113891305856803476?l=shoelirium.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://shoelirium.blogspot.com/feeds/113891305856803476/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=19363585&amp;postID=113891305856803476' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/19363585/posts/default/113891305856803476'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/19363585/posts/default/113891305856803476'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://shoelirium.blogspot.com/2006/02/equal-parts-hooker-heel-and-retro-pump.html' title='Equal parts hooker heel and retro pump'/><author><name>Worshiper of Shoes</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19363585.post-113770600016406232</id><published>2006-01-19T21:12:00.000Z</published><updated>2006-01-19T22:18:25.556Z</updated><title type='text'>Stacked Platforms</title><content type='html'>&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/3496/954/1600/louboutinStackedHeel.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="float:right; margin:0 0 10px 10px;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/3496/954/320/louboutinStackedHeel.jpg" border="0" alt="Christian Louboutin peep-toe stacked platform" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;Christmas is over, New Year has passed, and I can babble on about sexy shoes. A while ago I expressed my admiration for a pair of &lt;a href="http://shoelirium.blogspot.com/2005/11/black-louboutin-platforms.html#links"&gt;black Louboutin heels&lt;/a&gt;. Thanks to  &lt;a href="http://www.shoewawa.com"&gt;Shoewawa&lt;/a&gt; I have now learned that these kinds of shoes are called &lt;i&gt;stacked platforms&lt;/i&gt; and are highly fashionable at the moment. Only recently, Showawa featured two new pairs of a similar design, one of the peep-toe variety by &lt;a href="http://www.shoewawa.com/2006/01/higher_and_high.html"&gt;Christian Louboutin&lt;/a&gt; and one by &lt;a href="http://www.shoewawa.com/2006/01/stacked_platfor.html"&gt;Stuart Weitzman&lt;/a&gt;. I think both are stunning, if somewhat expensive.&lt;/p&gt;

I have to say I agree 100%, and that's what makes them so irresistible! It's the same as with the &lt;a href="http://shoelirium.blogspot.com/2005/12/block-and-semi-block-heel.html"&gt;block heels&lt;/a&gt; I wrote about earlier.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/19363585-113770600016406232?l=shoelirium.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://shoelirium.blogspot.com/feeds/113770600016406232/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=19363585&amp;postID=113770600016406232' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/19363585/posts/default/113770600016406232'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/19363585/posts/default/113770600016406232'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://shoelirium.blogspot.com/2006/01/stacked-platforms.html' title='Stacked Platforms'/><author><name>Worshiper of Shoes</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19363585.post-113414679946040255</id><published>2005-12-09T16:42:00.000Z</published><updated>2005-12-09T17:57:18.550Z</updated><title type='text'>Amazing Louboutin Ankle Strap Heels</title><content type='html'>&lt;a href="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/3496/954/1600/louboutinStrap01.png"&gt;&lt;img style="float:right; margin:0 0 10px 10px;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/3496/954/320/louboutinStrap01.jpg" border="0" alt="Black Louboutin Ankle Strap Heels" width="275" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Oh my god... A few days ago, I saw the most amazing shoes &lt;a href="http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&amp;rd=1&amp;item=7730272409"&gt;on eBay&lt;/a&gt;. This is the kind of stuff I would gladly get down on my knees for. You can have beautiful shoes in all kinds of colors and textures, but this kind of elegant black leather is probably unbeatable. These shoes add to it a really slim ankle strap, round toes and leave the sides of the feet almost bare. Finally a beautifully shaped, slim and very high heel and the bright-red sole, which prevents the shoes from looking overly timid. All in all this shoe is of such an amazingly fragile beauty, that I could just sit and stare, if I was to encounter someone wearing them in real life. Probably with my mouth open.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;a href="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/3496/954/1600/louboutinStrap03.0.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="float:right; margin:0 0 10px 10px;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/3496/954/320/louboutinStrap03.0.jpg" border="0" alt="Black Louboutin Ankle Strap Heels" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Oh, did I mention they are ridicoulously expensive? They sell for $500 - $600... But I guess that is the price you have to pay for divine beauty, shoe-wise.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;(there are two other eBay auctions for the same kind of shoes open at the moment:
&lt;ul&gt;
    &lt;li&gt;&lt;a href="http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&amp;rd=1&amp;item=7730252044"&gt;here&lt;/a&gt;...&lt;/li&gt;

But in fact, thicker heels like block heels or semi block heels (such a term probably doesn't exist, but so what) can sometimes look just as amazing. Also, I imagine they are a bit easier to wear than stilettos.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/3496/954/1600/blockPrada01.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="float:right; margin:0 0 10px 10px;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/3496/954/320/blockPrada01.jpg" border="0" alt="Yellow Prada Block Heel Platforms" width="300"/&gt;&lt;/a&gt;This style makes for a very different kind of look. It's hard to pinpoint - maybe block heels look a tad bit more vulgar, especially if combined with platforms. That could be perceived as a bad thing, but if found on a shoe that is really elegant at the same time, it's a killer combination. Vulgar elegance - mmhhh.... I have included three examples here, which I particularly like. They all appeared on ebay at some stage. In fact, the black Gucci one is &lt;a href="http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&amp;item=8357583825"&gt;currently on auction there&lt;/a&gt;. That one is made of croc leather, which is a very nice detail.&lt;/p&gt;

The best of two worlds, in other words. The black ones (or is it dark blue?) are sequined - very glamorous - and have ankle straps. I don't know, but ankle straps are ridiculously sexy...&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/19363585-113386844641709719?l=shoelirium.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://shoelirium.blogspot.com/feeds/113386844641709719/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=19363585&amp;postID=113386844641709719' title='1 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/19363585/posts/default/113386844641709719'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/19363585/posts/default/113386844641709719'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://shoelirium.blogspot.com/2005/12/block-and-semi-block-heel.html' title='Block and Semi-Block Heel'/><author><name>Worshiper of Shoes</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>1</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19363585.post-113338352057978635</id><published>2005-11-30T20:41:00.000Z</published><updated>2005-12-06T12:20:35.090Z</updated><title type='text'>Vintage Boots by Sergio Rossi</title><content type='html'>&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/3496/954/1600/ai8724-nero-3.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="float:right; margin:0 0 10px 10px;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/3496/954/320/ai8724-nero-3.jpg" border="0" alt="Sergio Rossi vintage style stiletto boots" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;Sofar I havn't included any boots in my list of really sexy shoes, but boots can of course be extremely sexy. Today I saw these ones by Sergio Rossi &lt;a href="http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&amp;item=8359000030"&gt;on ebay&lt;/a&gt;. The vintage lace-up style will probably put off a lot of people. I would agree insofar as this kind of style can easily look quite tacky (not sure if that's the right word). However, in this case I think it has been executed perfectly! I very much like the black and white contrast, and of course the pointy toe and stiletto heel (face it: stiletto heels are simply the sexiest of heels) - overall, these boots have a feeling of weirdness about them, but the kind of weirdness which is very, very sexy.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/19363585-113338352057978635?l=shoelirium.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://shoelirium.blogspot.com/feeds/113338352057978635/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=19363585&amp;postID=113338352057978635' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/19363585/posts/default/113338352057978635'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/19363585/posts/default/113338352057978635'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://shoelirium.blogspot.com/2005/11/vintage-boots-by-sergio-rossi.html' title='Vintage Boots by Sergio Rossi'/><author><name>Worshiper of Shoes</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19363585.post-113320228372727667</id><published>2005-11-28T18:21:00.000Z</published><updated>2005-12-06T12:32:51.830Z</updated><title type='text'>More Buffalos</title><content type='html'>&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/3496/954/1600/buffBlackWhite2.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/3496/954/320/buffBlackWhite2.jpg" border="0" alt="Black Buffalo pointy toe stiletto heels" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;
Another pair of Buffalos (cf. &lt;a href="http://shoelirium.blogspot.com/2005/11/my-favourite-buffalos.html"&gt;this post&lt;/a&gt;) I discovered on ebay some time last year. Just like the first pair, I find these are rather simple and classy in their basic form - black pointy stilettos -, yet extremely sexy. What makes these shoes special are the white details near the toe (you shoe ladies out there - help me out with a better word for this). Also, if you look really closely, you'll find that the seam around the shoe is white as well.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/3496/954/1600/buffBlackWhite1.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="float:right; margin:0 0 10px 10px;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/3496/954/320/buffBlackWhite1.jpg" border="0" alt="Black Buffalo pointy toe stiletto heels" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;I know that round toes are probably more fashionable at the moment (and I actually quite like a lot of them), but I think a beautiful pair of pointy heels like these here can still take a man's breath away. Mine, at least. And especially on a pair of beautiful feet like these.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/19363585-113320228372727667?l=shoelirium.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://shoelirium.blogspot.com/feeds/113320228372727667/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=19363585&amp;postID=113320228372727667' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/19363585/posts/default/113320228372727667'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/19363585/posts/default/113320228372727667'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://shoelirium.blogspot.com/2005/11/more-buffalos.html' title='More Buffalos'/><author><name>Worshiper of Shoes</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19363585.post-113318068901750291</id><published>2005-11-28T12:23:00.000Z</published><updated>2005-12-06T12:25:08.060Z</updated><title type='text'>My Favourite Buffalos</title><content type='html'>&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/3496/954/1600/stil009.0.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="float:right; margin:0 0 10px 10px;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/3496/954/320/stil009.0.jpg" border="0" alt="Black Buffalo pointy toe stiletto heels with ankle straps" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.buffalo-boots.com/start.html"&gt;Buffalo&lt;/a&gt; are widely known for their horrible platform trainers worn by annoying teenagers, but they also make a range of really nice high heels, which are even quite affordable. These here, which I have seen on ebay alot last year, are my absolute favorites. Simple, very classy and &lt;i&gt;very&lt;/i&gt; sexy. The double ankle straps are simply kinky (not in a cheap way, but in a gorgeous, divine kind of way), and I love the fact that they are open on the sides, so that you can see the red insoles. Very stylish. And, as I have been told by reliable sources, for heels that high they are actually rather comfortable to wear.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/19363585-113318068901750291?l=shoelirium.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://shoelirium.blogspot.com/feeds/113318068901750291/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=19363585&amp;postID=113318068901750291' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/19363585/posts/default/113318068901750291'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/19363585/posts/default/113318068901750291'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://shoelirium.blogspot.com/2005/11/my-favourite-buffalos.html' title='My Favourite Buffalos'/><author><name>Worshiper of Shoes</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19363585.post-113312526734318913</id><published>2005-11-27T21:00:00.000Z</published><updated>2005-12-06T12:29:38.320Z</updated><title type='text'>Red Gucci Platforms</title><content type='html'>&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/3496/954/1600/aa_1.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 0 10px;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/3496/954/320/aa_1.jpg" border="0" alt="Red Gucci pointy toe stiletto heels with rivets" width="200"/&gt;&lt;/a&gt;
Another pair of platforms (found on &lt;a href="http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&amp;item=7727848913"&gt;eBay&lt;/a&gt;), this one actually dangerously close to the world of fetish bondage. However, worn by the right kind of women with the right style, these would be sublime. And who could resist a little classy bondage play, anyways (ok, a lot of people could...).&lt;/p&gt;

OK, that's a little old in fashion terms, but being up-to-date is really not one of my concerns. I saw the same shoes &lt;a href="http://cgi.ebay.de/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&amp;item=8357586826"&gt;in black&lt;/a&gt; somewhere else on eBay.

I saw these on &lt;a href="http://www.shoewawa.com/2005/11/the_olsen_twins.html"&gt;Showawa&lt;/a&gt;. A lot of platform heels look pretty trashy, but these are fabulous.
