    Quite right @Starlight, it was always a shame that I couldn't play my drums at midnight. I loved playing drums (when I had a kit in the house) but midnight was a bit of a stretch ;)

    @GreenTea aww I hate when that happens it's like you don't wanna leave the convo but you also don't wanna be a zombie tomorrow aha.

    @Starlight aha, I bet they do. I used to love wearing high heels, but now I'm a giant without them anyway, I can hardly walk in them and they hurt aha so I only wear them very rarely nowadays. My mum had a pair of shoes which had a really pointy toe and I tried them on once and they were agony!

    I like my feet to be exposed and free. I could not wear ballet shoes
  • independent_independent_ Community Connector Posts: 10,138 An Original Mixlorian
    aha, I think I'd struggle to wear them too @GreenTea

    @independent_ I don’t usually wear heels cos same I’m a giant but I’m pretty good in heels. Think I’ve got decent training dancing in 2 inch heels ahaha think I can walk in heels then aha

    @GreenTea yeah I don’t recommend it!! I now hate having my feet out cos they aren’t always the prettiest of things aha

    @Starlight I'm alright in a small heel, but trying to walk up or (especially) down stairs in them is a bit of a nightmare lol.

    That said though I did manage to fall downstairs in completely flat shoes only recently because guess what I was running down the stairs!! I was alright but I was like why did I actually just do that

    My aunt is a professional dancer, and the state of her feet is insane. 
  • StarlightStarlight Posts: 1,457 Wise Owl
    Yeah going downstairs it’s horrible in heels especially when your on stage in front of 600 people the stairs are like over a foot down each and there’s no handrail. Oh and your holding up a massive ball gown so you don’t stand on it ahaha (not being specific at all) but falling downstairs is literally the worst especially on wooden stairs falling on your side from top to bottom (again not specific :joy: )

  • StarlightStarlight Posts: 1,457 Wise Owl
    @GreenTea basically if you wanna go into dance say goodbye to acceptable looking feet aha. I’m not even professional yet and mine aren’t looking great ahaha

    My aunt was a dancer on cruises lol I reckon that be hard in bad weather
  • independent_independent_ Community Connector Posts: 10,138 An Original Mixlorian
    @Starlight that actually sounds agony falling like that! The stairs I fell down were wooden too, but thankfully it wasn't in front of 600 people that'd have been just a little awkward aha.

  • StarlightStarlight Posts: 1,457 Wise Owl
    Ohh yeah @GreenTea I hope I don’t have to do any cruises but if it’s all I get it’s better than nothing and pays the bills ahaha

  • StarlightStarlight Posts: 1,457 Wise Owl
    @independent_ luckily I didn’t actually fall fall just lost my balance on them stairs on stage (it was during panto ahaha) so it’s fine didn’t cause too much embarrassment but it never got easier ahaha they were literally the steepest stairs I’ve seen in my life ahhaa
