Leather Masks – Home Crafts with Suzanzi

Hey there, Been wondering what a possessed maker of shoes does when she can’t make shoes? Answer: She starts making animal faces out of formed leather. I have been asked to do a tutorial, but really don’t have the time right now – I’m not planning on selling them or making them for other people, […]

Red Polish Heels – Quick View

  highs.heels.latex.shoes - Seller at ebay.  These were $53AUD with free post.  Like their black sisters, they are a nice shoe, vamp could be lower but the higher vamp makes for easier wearing to be honest.  They are leather.  Maybe the finish could be a little better but again, for $50?  There are worse shoes in […]

Upcycling and Recycling shoes

Heelo I’ve been treating this journal like a bad ex boyfriend, basically offering not a lot of new stuff, just things that have already appeared at other sites I belong to. The really good NSFW content is available through me, if you are game enough to email me and request it.  :-P I notice it’s […]

Ballet Heels, Steel Heel Boots, Latex and Corset

Well, that pretty much sums it up to be honest. Apart from almost being blown away, it was kind of fun. We got very little film as the wind was stuffing around with the audio.  However, there’s hundreds of still shots of me walking around  Hilarity plus. Anyway I put my corset on while standing […]

Christian Louboutin Fake saga

Hello there, and how are you? I’m not sure if you are aware that I purchased three pair of “pigalle” from an online store purporting to be selling last year’s stock of authentic Christian Louboutin (CL) shoes. Example 1. Example 2. Example 3.   Anyway, as I knew nothing about CL shoes prior to this episode […]

Introducing the Multi-Loop Busk

….exclusive to Green Fairy Corset’s Fairy Boss Mother line. There’s been little development in modern corseting apart from steel bones in preference to whale bone or reed/bamboo combinations.  There are experiments with different types of fabric, however, we always return to coutil if we want a sturdy garment that won’t stretch. There’s been the burgeoning […]

Shoe Elf: Ballet Boots – Wedge Heels

Hello,  I’ve been spending a little time chatting away to like minded folk about the styles of ballet heels.  I did the wander in the heel-less boots (HERE) and the conversation shifted to wedge shaped heels for ballet boots.  The above ballet heel was made by a person I do not know, but formed the inspiration […]

Dr Martens???

On my neverending search for interesting footwear, I came across these! Definitely on my covet list. They’re Dr Martens.  With heels. Well placed ones.  :-D Not so high, but high enough not to be too low.  Priced like Dr Martens are, but there are nothing comparative on the market due to the air cushioned sole. […]

Pink and 6 inches.

Pink High Heels

Got these a while back and haven’t even shown them off. They have a 6″ heel proper – not like Devious who say 5.5″ is 6.  They are stable and the heel hasn’t fallen off, or broken, which is surprising for such a cheap pair of shoes. I was in a sex shop looking for […]

Inside your Ballet Heels

Hello hello As you are aware I’ve been playing at “Shoe Elf” and making my own shoes from harvested parts of old shoes.   I moved onto ballet heels rather quickly and created one pair by cutting up the upper and removing and replacing the heel; and the second pair (whose parts you can see […]

Chrome Plate Solid Steel Collar

Hello all I was trolling around the net and found a link to this site ==> HERE and thought I’d have a look around. I chose this collar because it’s really what I’ve been seeking for quite some time.  The price was amazing so I thought to myself  ”Hmmm…probably hollow, but for $35 bucks, what can […]

The lace up front of this Grand National boot is really unusual.  They tickle my fantasy as far as unusual footwear goes.

John Fluevog Grand National Pony Boots

Hello hello I’ve recently come across three pairs of these for sale at ebay. If anybody knows their footwear they’ll know the Fluevog Grand National boots and will be strangling me for the location of the sale. At present the link I have shows them out of bidding but if you ask the seller he’s […]

Even though they are quoted as having a 6" heel...

6″ heels

Hello hello, For those of you with “little feet” size US8 and below, are you also dubious of the quoted heel heights, especially in sizes under US9, Euro 39 and China 39. I wear a size 7.5 US/ a 37-38 Euro, depending on the manufacturer and a 37 China.  Quoted 6″ heels in these sizes […]

Lauren loves to show off her belted 19" waist.

Body Play and Modern Primitives

Return of the Small Waist, Part 2. Lauren’s Seventeen Inch Waist. Lauren just appeared from nowhere – a wasp-waisted vision on a sunny afternoon. The Ol’Corsetier, of course, complimented her on her remarkable figure, her blond beauty and obviously less-than-20″ waist. What a surprise for both to discover that her remarkable waist had been shaped […]

Inside the What Katie Did Morticia Corset

Wow. Yes. I used to herald the beauty and construction of these corsets.  I was one of their biggest fans.  However since I bought my first WKD corset – pink Gingham Dorothy waist cincher to the last one I purchased – the Morticia you see before you – I feel the quality of the pieces has diminished somewhat…and now I be […]

Two ladies in Pony Boots

Hello hello I couldn’t resist trying on the other pair of boots I got for the pony toes projects.  A friend of my daughter’s was visiting and tried on ballet heels and the pony boots.  She didn’t like the ballet heels as her foot cramped up in them, but really liked these things. NB:  You […]

Pretty Ugly Pony Heels
