First , the boots:


Found here by Frou-Frou, and shared by Lederhosen.

Now, the feet:



I'm dreaming, aren't I? Can you blame me?

Brrrr. Why would you _want to wear boots like that? Do people really think such painful, foot-straining, tottery footwear is attractive? *bemused look*

Me, I think Malada's motorcycle boots are more practical and more attractive.

[lederhosen.livejournal.com]

They're not for walking in, you understand.

[deor.livejournal.com]

But I don't think they even look attractive. Or would make the person wearing them look attractive.

You know, I find the curves beautiful. If you note, my feet naturaly fall in that same curve from toe to heel. The spike supporting it is unrealisticaly thin, but I think that offsets the sinuous curve nicely. Softness juxtaposed against straight, clean lines. Flow against edges.

There is also the implication of danger in the points of the toes and the support heel. Not overt, but it's the beauty of a well made blade.

Does any of this make sense?

Those boots imply danger - my motorcycle boots *promise* danger. :-)

And they're oh so comfortable. Yeah.

Don't make me channel Blaze here :-)

[deor.livejournal.com]

I dare ya. I double-dare ya.

[lederhosen.livejournal.com]

Oh, very well :-)

Blaze says: "Well, they're a lot prettier than leg-irons, while achieving much the same effect. Plus, how can anything with that many eyelets be bad?"

I would love to know more about Blaze....
ROFL!

Blaze is an old roleplaying character of mine :-) A pyromaniac fire-mage, among other things.

[deor.livejournal.com]

And seducer of underage otter pooka. *noddle* (Toby says "hi!")

[lederhosen.livejournal.com]

Just how old is Toby, anyway?

[deor.livejournal.com]

Blaze never did ask, did he? :-p

But I refer you to his original description "Toby is a lean, graceful youngster - perhaps 15 years old..."

He's since left the Pub and returned; if Blaze comes back he'll meet a Toby apparently around 16 years old now. (Wow, getting on in years!)

[deor.livejournal.com]

Okay, okay. Yes, Toby's older than he looks. No, not a _lot older. (Not like Janie.)

And anyway, how much does Blaze know about fae aging?

[lederhosen.livejournal.com]

Not a lot, but probably more than the average Sleeper. I figure the CoX keep informed on that sort of thing, as on age-of-consent issues. (FWIW, the legal AOC in NSW is now 16.)

Though I don't think we ever specified just what the three of them actually *did*, except that it involved fish and broken plumbing :-)

[lederhosen.livejournal.com]

Thinking about it - Time magic is probably good for telling somebody's real age. No wonder it's the CoX' favourite Sphere :-)

Then Toby was chronologically barely legal, in Australia. (In the U.S. it varies from state to state.) A matter of a couple of weeks.

Think of it this way: does the world really need to know? ;-)

I wonder how that would twig a situation where someone's chronological age is _really one thing and physical age _really another. Being in the Dreaming isn't like using magic to keep yourself young while living in normal time, after all; it's apart from normal time. A sense of double-exposure, perhaps.
