Confessions of a random pervert

As sad as it is, Pleaser has put an end to the GLITZY line of shoes some time ago. Recently I was interested in ordering some GLITZY-509 for my new partner, and it seems they're all out of stock and no longer produced.

The point about GLITZY is that they are relatively comfortable to wear (no pressure on the toes, ...) but still are quite high and wearable. Like an ideal compromise, to be worn fur more extended periods of time than other much more uncomfortable shoes.

Now, due to a friendly hint, it was pointed out to me that there is one German webshop that still had GLITZY-509 in her size in stock. I immediately ordered them yesterday and they arrived today. Thanks :)

When receiving my latest pleaser order, they included the new catalogue for the upcoming helloween 2009 product line. You can also check it out online at this link. They really have some amazing new products.

I personally am pretty excited about ARENA-2018, ARENA-2012, PATTY-02G, EXOTICA-1050, GANGSTER-15, EXOTICA-2030, EXOTICA-60.

All those new models are an acceptable apology for discontinuing really great older models such as the GLITZY-line (GLITZY-509 was my favorite).

So now the only problem is that the new styles are not yet available. I can't wait until they're available to place my order :)

Today, I went to the local Buffalo shoe outlet with my current/recent/new girlfriend and "playmate". Unfortunately (or fortunately for my wallet), a lot of great designs were not available in her size, or were not a good fit. Finally we settled for this great satin/glitter peep toe platform pump, at 13cm it is slightly higher than the magical 5" level :)

About two years ago I first wrote about high heels in this blog. As always, my taste and fetishes have developed further since, mostly due to more exposure to different types of high heels (and their advantages and disadvantages).

So unlike that original posting, I have started to appreciate stiletto heels, particularly plateau stiletto - combining the best of both worlds: The sturdiness and slutty look of plateau shoes, plus the added difficulty and sophistication of a stiletto heel.

I've also started to like open toe designs, at least if the shape of the foot is suitable for this type of design, and if the foot is not naked but clad in real nylons, or stay-ups or pantyhose of some sort. Visibility of naked feet is to be avoided at any given time, since it represents something bare and unsophisticated....

What I still don't like at all are shoes with a too pointy tip (toe section). The rounder the shape, the more attractive the shoe gets. I wonder if that will change during the next two years ;)

I still remember the days, especially during my childhood and maybe even up to the age of 19/20, when I still considered high heels as most disgusting items of footwear.

The careful reader of this blog will have noticed the overlap in time frames. Yes, I already had my lycra and latex fetish, and I was used to various fetish stories and photographs. Still I didn't like high heels.

But over time, my taste has evolved. I still consider a number of high heeled shoes repulsive, but on the other hand there is a whole set of designs that I *love*.

For those interested where I draw the line: Foremost, I like anything that has a platform. Independent whether it's pumps, boots, or whatever. Platform is always good. Second, I almost never like shoes where the toes are still visible. Third, knee-high boots are preferred over shoee with lower bootleg, or even over thigh-high boots. When it comes to the actual shape of the heel, I prefer heels with a larger diameter, not the stiletto type. Why is all that? I can't tell you, but it really is like that :) All the details matter somehow.

So what is the magic of the high heel? And what does it mean to a dominant/sadistic male? Aren't high heels usually associated with the dominant female? The heels that are to be licked by the submissive slave? The footwear that makes the woman taller than the man, expressing physical superiority? To a number of people this is obviously true.

To me, high heels fit into the picture of a submissive woman. How? To a certain part because of their restrictive nature, much like a corset. The high-heeled woman is restricted in the speed of walking, in the height of stairs she can walk, in the duration she can stay on her feet in general, etc. So once again it's self-restriction (or restriction by her master) for the mere purpose of looking sexier / more attractive. I like this kind masochistic vanity :)

To another part, I like high heels because they are often (at least for me) associated with the slut/whore, the sexually available woman. As I like my submissive partner to be sexually available, and as I like her to show this availability [at least to me], I thus like her in high heels.

Also, once again very similar to what I like about corsets, is the trainig aspect. The submissive partner can be trained to get used to high heels, to endure them for longer and longer periods of time, to be able to wear higher and higher heels. Again, this is "to be able to" and not that I would demand her always to wear the highest heels available.

Now, some of you might ask yourself: And what about those bizarre ballet boots/shoes? Yes, after a couple of years in disgust, I can appreciate them, too. Appreciate them as the ultimate goal of high heel training. I haven't ever had the chance to be with a partner who was interested in achieving that goal, though.

But it's not all just male phantaasy. Yes, I know at least one women who would love to [learn/train to] wear them, and who actually finds them very beatiful. Unfortunately they don't seem to be available where she lives... but she's planning to visit me in Germany at some time, and I'm quite sure she's in for some ballet boot shopping.
