I'm selling some things on Ebay

[Me]

Swarovski cuff bracelets, a Swarovski choker, crystal earrings, and two pair of Comme il Faut shoes - one pair is fresh out of the box and never worn, the other pair is highly thrashed... strangely, I have a lot of watchers on the 'well worn' pair and keep getting some very strange questions via email in concern to whether I wore stockings in them, if I was the only owner, etc. It never occurred to me until I listed them, but I think perhaps some uh... foot people... are wanting my shoes??? :eyebrow:

Here are my auctions

I am also selling some very strange things that are non-ballroom related... please forgive my, erm, esoteric interests?

What is the relationship b/t US shoe sizes and Comme Il Faut sizes?

Those are the shoes I'm looking for. Exactly. Well, the toe box, at least--it's what i have and love. I don't care about the heel cage or whatever.

I wear 7 or 7.5 in US street shoes--no idea what that translates to for CIF's though. Thoughts?

I would SOOOOO love to be able to pick those up.

So you're a Harry Potter gal that ballroom dances in pretty sparkly jewellery and sells cat figurines and RPG videogames online? That makes sense.

LOL well... pretty much! The figurines and video games sort of represent mostly dead interests - tango just has this way of taking over oh, I don't know, EVERYTHING????


OH Peaches! The shoes are American sizing - I wear a 6 1/2 but these shoes don't come in half sizes, so I went with the 6. They fit me very well. My guess would be that you would wear a 7. It is an open toe shoe, but I don't know...

If they're analogous to American sizes, then they won't fit. Why, God, WHY?!?!!?! Not fair!!!!

whee i bought a pair of your earring

 

[samina]

those comme il fauts are indeed lovely! too small for my 9-ers, tho. alas...

 

[Me]

You bought my earrings? Yay thank you.

It's going to be interesting to see if anybody on Ebay bids on anything else. They have lots of watchers. The set of cuffs have 8 people watching...

The used shoes however have almost 400 views and I continue to receive some very... ODD questions. I am starting to wonder what it is these gentlemen want to do with my shoes... I don't think they want to dance in them. I'm tempted to ask Ebay to pull the auction but I want to see how high they go. I want to use the funds for a new pair of tango shoes, lol! (I'm terrible!)

 

[Peaches]

Two things.

#1)You probably don't want to know what the gents want with your shoes.
#2)To be fair, the pic you posted--what with the fishnets and everything--was hot.

And, hey. The higher they bid the more shoes you can buy, like you said. (Although I'd be squicked out, too.)

 

[Joe]

Come on, they just want to buy them for their wives or girlfriends...

And yes, fishnets in stilettos...where's that drooling smiley? I guess this'll have to do: :raisebro:

 

[Peaches]

I've said it before, and I'll say it again.

*waaaaahhhhh* I want those shoes!!!

When do I get to see the sailboat?
