My Stripper Shoes
With an alcohol-befuddled brain in charge of me, I agreed to take part in a charitable fund raiser for the benefit of an abused women's shelter. The charity was called "Walk A Mile In Her Shoes". Men were encouraged to walk a mile in women's high heeled shoes after drumming up monetary pledges of support from whatever suckers they could coerce into sponsorships. The charity provided the shoes - all red shoes with heels of about 10cm (not those silly stripper platforms, thank the gods). Our walk took place in a hockey arena between periods of a game - 8 laps around the concourse. One guy showed up in a ballerina's tutu, another in a kilt (that son of a bitch even went commando and flashed his hairy arse a couple of times). I wore my psychedelic Hawaiian beach attire. And, we all wore these ridiculous red high heeled shoes. A hilarious sight - we provided more entertainment for the crowd than did the hockey game. I hit up a few of my deep-pocketed oil patch buddies and called in a few markers from other guys and came up with a total of $61,800 for the charity - BIG smiles from the shelter's board of directors.
I now have much more respect for the dancers that we all love so much - their strutting, prancing, and dancing in those silly shoes that they all wear.
Stiletto25 and all you other ladies: How the hell do you do it?
Another observation. My shoe size is 11 EEEEE and the charity had a pair of heels to fit me! So somewhere in this world there is a woman with feet the size of mine. Please, lord, don't let me meet her in a SC.

Wow Farmerart, you really got the charity some funds. I don't know of any guys that would be willing to do such a thing. All the kids I knew when I was younger would have been kicked out of their homes after getting their butts whipped and smacked big time if they did anything even a fraction as girly as something like wearing high heels.
"Please, lord, don't let me meet her in a SC." Art installed as the early frontrunner for best line for 2012!!!
Pics of me? Unhappily, the answer is yes. I will NOT be posting them. I avoided the publicity photos but one of the boys from the local watering hole where this all started around a table of pitchers of draft beer got me on his cell phone. Haven't decided yet what to do with that bugger.
