Drving In Heels

I let Maggie drive my new car last night, and being the first time I have driven it in heels it was a bit different from my previous car? I was just wondering what others do, and their experiences of it. Do you wear flats to drive, and change into heels when you get out, or do you drive in heels? I've tried both, and feel confident enough doing it in heels.

Well being very tall and very overweight - I tend to put on my shoes and stay with them for a long time.

So I never change to drive.

Love ya,

Sally

I drive in heels all the time. I have to watch to keep the carpet mat clean in my car tho so that sand in the carpet doesn't scratch the leather covering the heel stem. When I drive in heels, even tho the brake and accelerator pedals are adjustable for a good angle, the stem of my heel often rests or slides on the mat. I shake that carpet mat out frequently for that.

:rolleyes: I don't think I could ever drive in heels. I have a spare pair of pink flat shoes in my car. When I can't wear my girl clothes I still like the feel of my girl shoes.

Never thought much about it. It's a natural thing... there is a problem of staining canvas or cloth heels if you are not careful. Heels are a part of a woman's life - women drive cars - car designers allow for that. Watch for thong shoes though - they can slip sometimes...

When I've gone driving en femme (which is not very often), I wear my lowest high heels--3". And, Joanna, even tho I'm about 6'2" myself, I have yet to get a nosebleed in my 5" strappy heels! (And there was only that one incident tripping down the stairs. . . )

I'd just suggest, Margaret, that you make sure you can operate the pedals safely (that's my lawyer side coming out). You didn't say if you had an automatic or a stick shift, but the automatic is obviously a lot easier. It wouldn't do to get into a fender bender and have to explain your gender bender to the nice policeman! (Or woman!)

      Decided I am going to my boyfriend's family get together tommorrow.He has family members that have not met me yet and do know about me.

      April, that is def good advice. I have had some really bad experiences with a therapist in the past. She way violated my trust. That caused a massive amount of damage to every corner of my life. Truthfully, because of that i have alot of deep seeded trust issues. I'm not sure i could ever go back to therapy. You are of coarse right, therapy would help, suppose its a matter of finding the right one and learning how to trust again.

      I look for purses with a shoulder strop that goes across the body. I also like many pockets. But one purse is not enough. I like purses that are artistic and make a statement about my personality. It doesn't have to be flamboyant, but matches my character. I also need a purse when I want to blend in and not be noticed so easily. One that won't draw attention to me when I don't desire it.

      I hadn't thought of a hat! The dress is really comfortable.

      What if a social media platform giant, (we all know its name) on devices we own, is held responsible for creating rules to intentionally target our community? for political reasons?

      Well just got back back from a visit to our oldest and family. It was nice having my granddaughter snuggle up to me on the couch. Gave me a big hug when we went over yesterday. Spent all day yesterday with them.  I envy my granddaughter, being able to grow up a girl. Something I wish I got to do.    Hugs, Kymmie

      Wow.  Sounds terrible.  Stay safe yourself.

      I hope our members from the Mid-South are doing OK today.  A lot of places had a real disaster overnight.  Tornadoes dropped all over, through Texas, Oklahoma, Missouri, Arkansas, and Tennessee.  Lots of damage, and many people missing.  Pray for those involved, and that there won't be another wave of it tonight.   My county was spared almost all of it, but a neighboring county was hit hard.  Our Defense personnel were mobilized this morning to assist with access control, because all their local LEOs are needed for search and rescue.  No idea of how many are injured and missing, but there have been several deaths.  We may not know for weeks.  Rural areas here have a lot of shacks and trailer houses, and most people were asleep because it hit at the worst time - early morning on a Sunday during a holiday weekend.  Tornado hit a retirement home, and lots of elderly folks were hurt bad.  There was no forecast for this, and little if any warning.      Electrical outage is widespread, and it has been followed by a really hot, humid day.  Heat index is around 115 - it's killer heat.  I went out with my husband this morning, since everybody with a CDL was needed for a convoy.  I'm back home now, since I only got a couple of hours of sleep last night.  He'll probably be there overnight, and GF is there also helping with mechanical issues.  They've converted a big Baptist church into a community shelter for people who have lost their homes, and set up a generator and AC.  I'll probably go back tomorrow to help some more, as they're working on setting up a kitchen...nobody wants to eat MRE's forever.    They're getting no help from the state at all yet.  Governor didn't bother to declare an emergency until this afternoon!   The National Guard hasn't been activated either.  If it wasn't for Defense personnel, there'd be gawkers and looters. Its ridiculous, like only the cities matter.  Two rural towns literally no longer exist - its like a bulldozer a half-mile wide went through.  I've seen tornado damage before, but this is the worst.  Its just heartbreaking to look at it.

      CBS Sunday Morning with Jane Paulie had a good piece on this ruling.
