Act your age, not your shoe fetish.
I’ve recently noticed that I have a shoe fetish. Ok... that's a lie. I've long known that I have a shoe fetish. But I've recently been reminded of that fact. Add that to my miniskirt fetish, and any woman with the mind to do so would realize just how easy it is to manipulate me.
In particular, I love high, high heels. Stilettos, block heels, doesn't really matter. I also like open toe sandals of most heights, preferably 1” or taller though – not so much affected by flats.
But nothing gets my attention more than 3” or 4” heels.
Even a homely looking woman that I had never taken notice of can suddenly grab my attention with the right shoes or skirt length -- or better yet, a combination of both.
On one hand, I’m ashamed of this weakness, but on the other hand, I realize that if I accept it as part of me, I can actually take advantage of it as a tool to affect my mood.
Here’s an example of what I’m talking about…
At my office there are 3 girls in my department. They are all very, very plain looking, at best. One might even venture so far as to call all three of them ugly.
But one of them caught my attention. She has a gaunt, thin face, thin lips and old, droopy eyes. She wears clothes that are generally very plain, and she is extremely thin.
But what caught my attention were her shoes! The most gorgeous, sexy shoes, apparently four-inch heels or more, peek out from under the legs of her slacks (she actually wore a nice looking slit pencil skirt today) every day.
Add to that, the one of the three that I would have considered the least attractive wore high heels of a similar type the other day, and I suddenly took notice of HER. I mean, come on, she has tiny, beady eyes that are too-close together, and big ears sticking out of the side of her head. Not attractive. But when she wore the right shoes, she was somehow magically transformed in my mind.
How can something that’s not a part of a woman’s personality, face or body affect me so much? I must be an idiot. But it does affect me. Always has.
Medeleine never wore the tallest of shoes, but the taller her shoes, or the more sandal-like they were (or the higher the boots), the more I was enamored. And the day Jackie put on those black boots she bought at I.T. was the day I fell in love with her, after such a long time of not really noticing her as an attractive woman (I’m not saying she’s not attractive or wasn’t worthy of my love, just that before the boots I honestly hadn’t noticed her).
Now I’m fortunate that Fanny has no objection to wearing tall shoes and short skirts… because I’ve got to admit that I like being happy. And when I’m physically attracted to the woman that I’m with, I’m happy! Yeah, I know, I’m petty. What a stupid criteria to base love on.
Like I said, I’m an idiot. But a lucky one. I’m also lucky that Fanny is more than a pair of shoes and a short skirt. She’s really got a soul that I love more than anything.

Well, it's been a nagging thing for a long time. I don't know what the fuss is, but I'd like to try it just to say I did. But hopefully between Manila and LA, Fanny and I will add another form of transport to our naughty experiences. The seat would be preferable, for the excitement and bragging factor, but as the plane will probably be full, that's not very likely. Looks like cramped toilet, which is the usual MO for high flyers. Of course we'll definitely be playing under the blankets in less obvious ways even if we can't go all the way. Of course, judging by the number of purported pilots on AFF chasing my girlfriend, the "club" is most likely not a very exclusive one. Ah, but how many of them have done it on a bus? You can read all about the bus on my AFF blog.
I found it finally!!! 
It's been a blast watching these again. The best series ever on television. Better than Six Feet Under. Better than Nip|Tuck. Teen angst, demons, sex, kung fu, and serious sociological issues like dealing with the death of a family member, homosexuality, loneliness, cheating lovers... it's all there, and it's so well written it makes you want to watch the combined 262 total episodes in a single sitting. Oh, and then there's Firefly...
