Breasts & High Heels...

[amicus]

Over the past year, two daughters thought to mention that their daughters, both pre-teens, were wearing 'training bra's'

Both are some distance and I have not yet seen either and still remember them as very active young girls, almost boyish in behavior, and dare-devils each.

I often write opposite gender stories and have a lot of breasts fondled and massaged in the tales, nipples nibbled upon and such, standard fare not requiring a great deal of actual knowledge about how women and girls view, consider, carry or display their breasts.

Going out among the public one cannot help but observe women and breasts, large and small, how they are supported, or not, and displayed or covered.

I have read stories where young girls, upon budding, look upon those new bumps as an unwanted burden, or, conversely something to be proud or shy about.

The amount of exposure as girls grow into young ladies and then into womanhood, varies in all sorts of ways, but, I suggest, reflect the personality of the female in many ways.

High heels, as fashion, I have never understood...the link provided will probably tell you more about the history of high heels than you ever wanted to know, but...is educatiional and enlightening, have you never considered the origin of the shoe.

I am fascinated by women, to a point of considering them almost as a different species and thought perhaps those of you who write stories including females of all ages and sizes, might have some thoughts as you portray your characters and their accoutrements.

Formal Invention of High Heels as Fashion

The formal invention of high heels as fashion is typically attributed to the rather short-statured Catherine de Medici (1519-1589). At the age of 14, Catherine de Medici was engaged to the powerful Duke of Orleans, later the King of France. She was small (not quite five feet) relative to the Duke and hardly considered a beauty. She felt insecure in the arranged marriage knowing she would be the Queen of the French Court and in competition with the Duke’s favorite (and significantly taller) mistress, Diane de Poitiers. Looking for a way to dazzle the French nation and compensate for her perceived lack of aesthetic appeal, she donned heels two inches high that gave her a more towering physique and an alluring sway when she walked. Her heels were a wild success and soon high heels were associated with privilege. Mary Tudor, or “Bloody Mary,” another monarch seeking to appear larger than life, wore heels as high possible (McDowell 1989). By 1580, fashionable heels were popular for both sexes, and a person who had authority or wealth was often referred to as “well-heeled.”

um... I wear heels lol. I'm 5ft 2in, all my male friends are over 6ft. I wear 3 to 4 inch heels, the quirkier looking the better, my faveorite pair are black dominatrix heels that have buckles all the way to my knee. My work boots are heeled to so I can reach things on high shelves, thoes were costom so I could get them steel toed

No boobs or high heels here, but I sure do appreciate them on women.

I suppose it's my age, or the current fashions, or both, but young girls seem to dress more revealingly at younger ages than in times past. If I was a younger man today I think I'd demand to see some valid ID before making a move on some comely lass.

That little honey you're chatting up in the mall who's acting as if she has the hots for you is, in reality, life in jail with a car of her own.

 

[Miss_Pixie]

I wear heels, have worn them in some manner or another since I was 12, but, I never wore make up until I was 15, and I didn't wear anything revealing until a few years ago on Halloween when I went a pixie... I discovered I liked it but I don't dress that way everyday. Not even once a week. I wear tank tops and hip huggers, that's about as revealing as I get... and only then to show off my tattoos

I encountered three teen girls in the drugstore today all Gothed up. That's one seriously non-flattering style, but their youth and beauty shone through. I was looking for some things in the stationery aisle when they came along. We looked at each other, I smiled and they smilled, I checked 'em out and they checked me out. They asked me something about some pens and I answered them. They seemed nice.

When I left I saw them piling into a Toyo RAV4...probably Mom's.

Quite a high level of evolution, yes, indeed, but that fascination with the grand-girl- children bespeaks a dark, twisted obsession that will get ya into trouble some fine day......
Better stick with the hired help and the chattel to exercise those unholy desires upon.....
You and Roman Polanski.....just a coupla dudes......

Upon reflection, they could have been Emo, but they were lacking the christ awful makeup, chopped hair and were wearing too many buckles and chains...they weren't going biker either...not with black ankle boots and spike heels...could be a new fashion trend for all I know.

 

[Miss_Pixie]

oh god... Emo and Goth had a bastard child...

Three actually. Cute little bastards they were.

lol I meant the trend... I'm scared for my closet now....

I have always been curious as to why women wore high heels....to increase height, I guess, but why?

The link gives a history explaining why high heels for both men and women were to be able to cross the muddy and horse poo streets with getting the actural shoe tarnished...but modern day heels...not a clue...

I only wear heels that are 4 inches or better, and at this point, seem to have some trouble wearing anything lower. I like being taller, I'm a towering 5'4". Plus heels just make you feel sexy--they are frivolous, you can wear them if you weigh 98 lbs or 300 lbs, and they make your legs and ass look better.

That is about as honest a commentary as one might expect and thank you. It is part of the 'attitude' women have when wearing heels, that I wanted to hear first hand.

Ami

edited to add: another thought about 'hip hugger' jeans...in a recent film, a gal was wearing the high waist apparel and I found it quite attractive, much better than the 'butt crack boogie' that far too many display....

There's a sexy feel that just goes with it. I'm not sure if you've tried walking in them (hey, I don't judge) but from toes on up, they tighten most of the muscles in calves, thighs, ass, and torso. The balancing act required is almost impossible to pull off correctly without a little sway to the hips to maintain a flowing center of balance and erect posture. The higher the heel, the more sway.

You stand taller (pun not intended), throw your shoulders back, chest forward, chin up, ass lifted, and put a little strut to the step, knowing you look good.

If you're looking for realistic illustration, though, please keep time-frame in mind. I can wear heels all day long if I'll be sitting most of that time. The more time on my feet, that time is reduced considerably. The higher those heels become, the more drastic that difference becomes. In addition to aching toes and soles, the aforementioned muscles all the way up start to strain if significant walking is involved. The only exception is kitten heels; they're a much more natural height while still giving that boost and lift. Of my shoe collection, about 50% are kitten, 49% are higher for events or special nights, with two pair of shoes in the entire assortment with no heel at all (running and crosstraining shoes). The kitten heels get the most daily wear.

Thank you innocenscribbles, again a perspective that this mere male could never experience...although to one of my sometimes emotional daughters, when she is about to venture out into a new job or has a presentation to prepare for, I always advise, "chin up, tits out, girl, go get em", so now I can say that with more than just philosophical meaning, I can add, 'weare your sexiest pair of heels!" and at least know what I am talking about.

lol I meant the trend... I'm scared for my closet now....

The latest craze is a new kind of emo. Kids call it "Scene". Look it up. It's kind of Goth meets Hello Kitty.

Or maybe they don't call it that anymore. It might already be sooooo 2009, gosh. What do an old fart like I know?

 

[TheeGoatPig]

But I like shorter women...

"I think all women should be placed upon a pedestal, so we men can look up their dresses." Steve Martin

High heels. The image of a woman in high heels and a skirt or dress with nylon encased legs, striding down the street evokes passion and lust. Pert, bouncing breast, swaying with that stride will get to me every time. And if, perchance, her nipples should be erect I actually swoon at her loveliness.

Women, breasts, high heels, legs a delight to the male eye at all times.

Unless she's 7ft tall and shapely, the thought of a 300 lb woman scares the sh1t out of me, high heels or not. It would be like a Barrage balloon trying to look fashionable.

In relation to the bra thing, this may amuse: I regularly went through my mother's underwear draw when I was small (from about aged eight, nine, maybe) because her knickers were so pretty and mine were white and boring. I used to "borrow" lots of things.

It only occurred to me a couple of years ago that the silky black crop top that fit a little bit weirdly was actually crotchless knickers. I was using the crotchless bit as a headhole and the gussets as straps. I felt like a dunce for days.

Well there is that, but I didn't want to mention it, although I haven't seen any 300 lb women on high heels.

Hellom Firebrain, that is worth a wry smile to many, including yours truly, girls going through their mother's udnerwear draw may also show up in more than a few stories around here...well done....and thank you!
