Spain's annual high heel races
Runners strapped on their high heels for a race during Gay Pride celebrations in Madrid, Spain on June 28.
I know I can run in high heels, but I don't run very far! And, where are they getting all these large size
high heels? Is this normal for Spain?
British-Australian Marathon swimmer Penny Palfrey, a 49-year-old grandmother, dove into the clear waters of the Florida Straits on Friday to try to break her own world record by swimming 103 miles (166 km) from Cuba to the United States without a shark cage.
I'm not sure what you are doing this weekend, but I now feel boring.

Re: Spain's annual high heel races
Did go to gay pride celebrations in the city once, one of my friend, a gay male wanted to go but didn't want to go alone.
It was a great time, the cabaret show with female impersonators was great. Drag Queens are awesome.

Big flap over Oreo's facebook page, they had a photo of an Oreo with rainbow cream filling for Gay Pride. People crying about a boycott, so what, boycott them...more Oreos for me.

Re: Spain's annual high heel races
They do a charity race in heals in NY as well. It's fun and silly although I wouldn't be surprised if more that a few have at very least twisted an ankle here or there. I used to be able run in heals almost as well as flats. It's just a matter of how comfortable you are with walking in heals. I worked in heals 8-12 hours a day. I actually had a problem once when I was in the hospital for two days and didn't wear heals. My ligaments and tendons tightened up and I couldn't flatten out my feet I had to walk on my toes or on heals. I started switching to flats on occasion after that to prevent that from happening again.
If you ever want to have fun go to the gay pride parade in Manhattan. I also happen to be at Disney once during gay pride week there. It was funny as hell.I heard that people are making a big deal about the Orel cookie thing although I hear Orel was putting out a rainbow filled cookie and that's what started it. People need to get over their homophobia and for that matter all the moronic prejudices.I can dream can't I?

For Gay Pride week, The Oreo cookie faebook page used a photoshop picture of an Oreo cookie with layers of rainbow colored cream in the sandwich cookie and some anti- gay people got all upset and tried to start a boycott in protest.

This weekend is the annual, "Greasy Pole Race" in Gloucester Massachusetts. Contestants run across a pole stretched the average length of a telephone pole horizontally. It's packed from end to end, with six inches deep, of axle grease stretched out over the ocean. It's a sight to see and at least one person will succumb to making everyone wish they weren't him racing across. The winner grabs a flag at the other end before diving into the water. He gets bragging rights and the twenty-dollar a head pool the contestants divvy up before taking on such an out-of-your-mind-experience. I believe there are so youtube videos on past events. they are a riot to watch.

I've been a judge at many a greasy pole but they are brass and have a little round stage attached at the bottom, and there always seems to be a good looking naked girl attached to it hanging on and swinging around in circles....and ya twenty dollars seems what it usually costs me

Re: Spain's annual high heel races
Those greased pole walkers are so funny. I have seen them on tv. I always thought they were just wet telephone poles that are slippery I didn't know they add grease.They ones I saw were floating in water and just spin and move.
As for the other type of poles I have two funny stories.I had to laugh at my daughter last night. I was on the phone with Kam when she and her friend walked in. Kam had just said something about a lighted stripper pole. Not thinking I repeated it out loud. My daughter and her friend just started laughing because what I said was: "What would you do with a light up stripper pole?" So my daughter just said "Please don't answer that out loud" Which her friend then said "Really, I don't think I want to think of you trying to dance on a stripper pole" I looked at her and said "Hey, I used to get paid a lot of money to dance on one of those!" My daughter buried her head in her hands and said "Mom,I just have to much information about your life sometimes." Then they both started laughing.
When my son rented a house with his friends that had a stripper pole, I walked over to it and was looking at it kind of strange. So my son asked me what was wrong. I wrapped my hand around the pole and looked back at him and his friends and said "I knew this was not regulation size. Be careful no one gets hurt on this." He looked at me and said. "Funny, that was not the response we got from the other guys mothers." Then said "I can't even think about why you know that, even though I know why you know that. " Then walked away shaking his head.He roommates thought it was funny. It beat getting lectured by their mom's about how "degrading" they felt it was.
