Nobody cared to notice?!...I think I might go sulk...Or at least get off the damn computer and have a cup of tea anyway .

You made them look really nice, the sort of footware I would go out in at night, just to watch the lights glint off of them.
Have been looking for a new pair myself, but have had no luck, unless I want black. Grrrr
Not even being sarcastic, if your feet werent those of a child I would offer to buy them.

So here's a thought, post a picture of what you thought I looked like...I'm already giggling inside just thinking about what you might come up with O One Who Dances with Fairy's.

Well something like this, but a bit scrawnier with occasional stubble

Just think, before Google what would people have done? Hmmm, I would have got some wax, and rubbed it on my laces, thus saving the 10 mins googling time :-)

The shirt (and hat too I suppose) can also double as a Renaissance musketeer wear with a change over to one of my Rapiers and ditching the eye patch and Bandanna. Hell, I just love an excuse to wear a sword really!


Mick

Saw a sword stick at a market today, now that is cool.

This look would allow you to show off your polished boots!

Where? and How Much? Was it a sword cane? Or one of those Japanese swords in a bamboo coloured sheath?

I reckon your closer to the mark than Ed, that's for sure. If that little green fella was closer to 6'1" then you would have been right on the money!

I figured since you cropped anything that would compare your size to in the pirate photos you were like a movie actor that is a tiny runt in real life.
