So how come in a couple of clicks I have just bought a pair of brown over the knee boots? confused blush

Just going through emails and noticed one from the company where I bought the DGC's slippers last year, and they seemed to have a sale on!

My mother (a miserable old bat!) used to call over the knee boots 'prostitute boots'. I hope they make you feel good! grin

I've got a black, flat heeled fake suede pair that I bought from Primark a few years ago, and I love them! People remark on them, but I've never been propositioned whilst wearing them! grin

They sound lovely (the boots) I have short fat hairy legs so wouldn't look good in them. I wanted and ankle chain when I was growing up - my father asked me if I wanted to look like a Portsmouth tart. My Mother asked him what he knew of Portsmouth tarts (he was in the navy).

My black ones always make me want to lift a leg and slap my thigh, in a sort of "principal boy" manner. confused

Or swagger like Captain Jack Sparrow in his sea boots......

Now, does that post have a pantomime connotation, or are we back on prostitutes?
