Hon Kovell... Now there's a man who knows more than his fair share about footwear - and the leather trade as well by the sound of it. I must say, I am impressed!
I will say though, that the manufacture of quality footwear isn't entirely dependant on the conditions for gathering materials in that particular area. Materials can always be imported from elsewhere, as in the case of Kiriko's Boutique - Hence why their shoes and boots take a while to make... It just means that they are a little more expensive to buy.

Shoes represent one of the best hopes that we have of ending these stupid wars between the empires.
Think about it. We like shoes, even if most men don't. These wars threaten the manufacture, distribution and sale of some of the finest shoes humanity has to offer.
When the women of the empires realise this en masse, then every male decision-maker will find that his wife, girlfriend, sister, mother, daughter, aunt or any other woman in his life will pester him endlessly about why he isn't ending this damn war and ensuring the supply of quality shoes.
Mark my words, Shoes are the Key to Peace in Our Time.
This put a smile on my face... The idea of the whole of New Eden being united by a common cause - namely the need for easily attainable quality footwear - is an excellent one!

There are no good vendors of shoes in Fricoure. You are misinformed. The weather patterns are entirely inappropriate for raising quality livestock to make materials from.
I don't mean to pry but I did anyway. The Intaki Reborn artisan Deltes Auste, renowned for centuries for the legendary boots he crafted, disappeared when the Caldari left - presumed dead under their final bombardment. Millions weeped for the loss when they learned of the terrible loneliness facing their feet, never to know true love for a boot. His skills had persisted through incarnation after incarnation. Every cycle his soul focused on perfecting its craft. Memories of family and speech and the universe - gone. The feel of leather worked in his hands - still there. Now those skills were gone to us. A tragedy that brings on a tear even now.
What should I find on Fricoure but stories of a craftsman of such skill that people paid for the privilege of seeing him work. A skill that produced the boots I wear right now. Boots near identical to those of Deltes himself!
The estates where he obtained materials were a much more closely guarded secret. Something occurred to me. You always were rather fascinated with livestock. Always going on about your ponies. Not just any ponies, though, were they? Rather beautiful hides they had, each and every one. I always thought that hangars were odd environments to keep herds in but they have such carefully monitored environments, don't they?
I want boots and I want them now. You're supplying Deltes and now Deltes is going to supply me. I made you what you are today and you're going to (have Deltes) make me boots! NOW! |

I just wear plain military leather boots to any occasion I have been invited.
And how often are you invited anywhere?
Not often and even if I am invited to one of your spoiled rich girl-fashion partys I'd prefer to get drunk and raped in a bar on a lowdeck. Thats more amusing and something more entertaining than that manoevering around on a fraudolent high society v.i.p. Caldari bimbo-yuppie business ****tail-party.
You can draw your gun and shoot the idiot in the face with your flechette and don't have to smile and nod.
Quote:
Plain is usually not so plain... just a diamond in the rough (unfortunately, my connection seems to be malfunctioning because your image is not displaying properly, so I can not say for certain). And we said we're not discussing politics or war in this channel... so begone.
There is nothing in this universe that is indeed not either politics or war. And if someone claims that it is'nt its just a neat trick of war.
Quote:
Shoes for the occasion, if I plan on making a 100km march... well, first off I need to have a lot of alcohol in my system to even agree to such a crazy idea. But when I am working in the docks, or planetside steeltoes are quite nice. The grip isn't a neccesity for people who don't fly those rust buckets the Matari call ships,
Our ships are blasting your lack and frill designercrap out of universe wherever we meet, if I may add in my humbleness. Rust or buckets we got more guns we got more firepower and at last we got better spirit. The reason for this may be that our pilots wear good plain leatherboots.
Quote:
Whos say's you can't do both? Do you honestly thing that some of the thigh high boots are purely a fashion statement? Of course I carry small arms with me, never know if I'm going to run across a disgruntled customer in a bar, or a handsy Brutor that doesn't understand the word no. Besides, sometimes you just need to be a lady and enjoy yourself.
A Brutor warrior has almost everywhere a sense for yes or no. Where this sense has gone lost is at diplomatics, politics and first of all corporates. If you want to see one folk **** another take a stroll down to the slavequarters.
Quote:
What do slaves have to do with fashion?
They work under unspeakable conditions in your manufactures from child to aged? And while you swallow grapes and nip at exclusive wines they bite into the leather to make it softer for your feet and drink the rusty water that is dripping from the valves in the lower decks?

So I have no time to spend in buying shoes that are worth nothing, good for nothing and do cramp my style anyway.
If you have no time for shopping for yourself, I must know. What is your purpose for making ISK? And how do you find the time to come and clutter this channel with nonsense? And finally, if the fashions mentioned here "cramp your style anyway", why not suggest something that you do like rather than just be ****y and say that you don't like what we do?
I don't try to be ****y. You can do what you like if you don't mess up with the freedom of other while you do it. But while the entire free world is in chaos and suffers from the war you have started, the only people that suffer in your society are the working slaves.
How does it come that at your shops the luxurities are heaping in the showviews and expansive shoes waste the prosperity of a whole generation. A society based on the exploitation of the poor, the disfranchised, the paupers?
That's what your shoes are. It's not political? Ha! Get a job, your highness. Get a life. Someone come here and hold me back! Stop me or I'm going berserk!

Someone needs a vacation. Your going to burst something, and then where will you be?
Since we are discussing shops, and I am fairly new to the galactic stage, I had to ask my husband about the shops close to where we live. According to him, there is a little place in the midlevel of the station in Aunia that has "quite fine shoes of good quality", his words.
I have yet to go and see, but I have noticed that his fashion sense is somewhat limited. I am hoping that this time is not the case.

I am sorry, I was confused and misled. I realise now that there is no conspiracy.
Furthermore, it is obvious that Luminaire is the best place to find quality footwear and all my boots were bought from vendors on stations in that system. |

* Unknown to her, the recorder from Uylears last broadcast is still going, still capturing all the delights that happen on board a science vessel. Miss uylear is holding something, a jar made of clear glass. Inside this jar are several strange insects. They move slowly, as if sedated. Miss puts her feet up on the console, you see they are these.
She checks behind her, seeing nothing but a metal door - locked, and proceeds to eat the insects, looking as if she enjoys the shrill sound of the blighted bugs chirps of perceived pain.*

Kimochi opens the thread again to see who has replied. She smiles and shakes her head when she sees that Miss Ulyear has left her video feed running.
She is just about to send the lady a message to inform her that she should remember to log out of a terminal when she is finished, (and to compliment her on her choice of footwear) when Miss Ulyear begins eating the insects.
Kimochi stares at the screen, eyes wide mouth agape for a few seconds, before hurriedly closing the thread.. The sickening crunching and squealing noises still ringing in her ears.

Alica is blowing a strain of red hair from her face.
Okay. What is so bad about shoes? It's consume. And to consume means to be at war, to destroy and waste stuff in the fastest possible speed. That's what's wrong about your shoes.
Those who have to pay for your decadence are the poor. Are the slaves. Are those you are exploiting by wasting stuff for your chiqueria-bimbo-life. That's what's wrong about your shoes. I have no problems with slippers or something. No prob at all. Wear what you like, as you want. But just wasting stuff because you can, that's wrong. That's totally wrong and if you can't see this, you must be something like blind.
There are three stages in every society: survival, inquiry, sophistication known as How, Why and Where phases. How can I prevent my feet bleeding when I march? Why do I have to march? And finally: Where do I get the most classy highheels that are available?
The last phase is also known as decadence and usually ends with people from the first stage blasting the intestines out of the latter after a long march and coming to the second stage asking: "Why are there so stupid bitches in this universe and why have I always have to do the dirty work that has to be done?"

I've heard of Matari enjoying roasted insects but this is the first time I witness, by accident I am sure, someone eating them alive. And in this particular thread.

But - yes! We are truly enjoying crunchy grashoppers and things like that. Insects are rich on vitamin, essential unsaturated fatty acid and of cause lots of protein. I really adore some of them. What is not so tasty is this glibber that is served here in Gallente restaurants. Glibber, ah, local dialect, I mean gooish stuff that is like snails and muscles and that and everything raw. Yikes!
And you'll nowhere get any wild boar in clodded blood here what we call schwarzsauer. Some like it with mint sauce but I prefer this clodded blood souce. Hmmm - delicious. I hope the barbaric kitchen here in Gallente will one day learn good cooking. Ah - you may turn this against me but everyone has his personal weak points, my is eating Matarian delicatess like the one I mentioned.
It's plain good food for plain good people. Ever tasted grilled cockchafer grub or Grigrub in my language? Most of our food is best when first put in vodka then cooked, grilled or just set in flame and eaten. Oh - I'm getting hungry. Gaaah! And only this Gallentean kitchen everywhere!

Food aside, and there is much that I can do with food, believe it or not, I wish to thank those that offered to take my wife shopping.
I myself have what she refers to as "limited fashion sense" and I know that shopping with me is a ... chore. She is very new and inexperienced when it comes to the shops and locations of our galaxy, and I myself am not often interested in such things as clothing as she is.
As to Pilot Wildfire, I once had a friend of Matari origin that would make a dish of roasted peppers and rare, grilled meat slices marinated in a very spicy sauce served over a plate of rice. It was most flavorful. Sadly, I think she has taken a sabbatical from the spacelanes, as I have not seen her in some time.
God go with you all, Pilots.

It's long out of vogue but Intaki cooking had some insect based delicacies. I tried some once on a dare. Not bad, but I won't he incorporating them into my diet anytime soon.

Yea, especially the Sebriasta cooking is quite fun! I know what you mean. To put our meals on a diat does not make very much sense. Too much proteine in it and that. Tell ya some speciality from home, just between us two. You take a pan and make it really hot. Must be hot otherwise it wont work. You put some oil in it and heaten it up. Then you take some delicatess crickets, that you can buy in every specialityshop around Minmatar space and crunch them until they are a homogene mass.
Some prefer to first put away the chitin shells and remove the inner with a spoon, but its taking away much of the natural spice of that insects, that's a bit nutty. Then you put it in the pan and fry it fast and hot. You can spice it with local spice blend that is not so easy to make for a foreigner and needs a lot of knowledge cause it easy can made wrong and does not taste good.
After spicing it a bit you may -or may not- pour a bit vodka in it and shortly burn it. You got a quite spicy omlette-thing with that. You take two halve sandwich like for a burger maybe with some sesame or so and can put a sheet of tomato and a leaf of salad between that. As a drink I'd prefer vodka but other people prefer the more hard stuff that is distilled in the Mitar distillerys on many places around my home. Often without licence and those are, if I may add, most often the best - but you have to know what you get cause you can be served that cheap stuff for tourists that are not of high quality and is better used for polishing the rifles of your autocannons.
Better don't drink those. Could be that you'll need a new clone after that.
But - gee! - I can promise that you'll have a quite nice evening. There are also some good things with filled intestines of sheep that is served at home. I can tell ya later about that. Those are often spiced with mint sauce which I mentioned before.
Oh. I got a bit off topic with that. What about drinking Mitar vodka out of boots? Your own military boots after a long march for example? Good for your leather good for your health?

Depending on the system you wish to visit, I might have a clone there and will be able to join you. Flying a ship or my pod through High Security Federation space usually brings more attention than I like to attract alone.
Also depends on my work load this week, yesterday was rather tiring, and today could be worse.

Ishukone Watch standard issue BDU boots, also part of the dress uniform. Breathable mem-foam interior conforms perfectly and comfortably to the contours of your foot, whips moisture away from the skin and keeps your feet at a comfortable temperature no matter what (not to mention preventing any odour). Damn near vacuum-proof when laced properly, so you can walk through anything. Steel toe caps, titanium Diborite armour mesh, and an EMM (Emergency Medical Membrane), and the soles can be adjusted to thirteen different preset configurations for optimal performance on different terrain types, plus loud and silent settings for parade marching and stealthy movement respectively.
Best boots in the whole damn galaxy. Useless for dancing, though.

You make it sound like we don't own functional shoes. I own a few pairs very similar to those Stitcher has shown, I use them when I am planetside or in the docks lending a hand. But, as you can probably deduce, we are not discussing practical shoes, we are discussing that which looks good and will draw the eyes of many men.

If you ask me, if a man even notices your choice of decorative footwear, it's a safe bet that his tastes don't run to women.
The same principle applies to makeup.

The same principle applies to makeup.
The shoe may not be important in itself, but it's effects are. Same with makeup.
Heels compared to flat shoes require a different posture and way of walking, which accentuates different parts of the anatomy.
Similarly, makeup draws attention to/from various features.

And speaking from experience, when a mans attention is directed at those particularly accentuated parts of a womans anatomy, business transactions are much smoother and far more profitable.
