Add me to the list of 130 mm lovers. I’ve only been able to get 2 pairs of HC before CL discontinued. Luckily, both are black patent so I keep one pair in reserve. Also, I have 2 pairs of BA FM 130s, one black kid and one bronze. They have a shorter toe box and the heels are not as stable, but beautiful. I don’t do platforms.
Girl, start posting up! Start your own thread, ala Stilly. You've got 4 Audi's, would make GREAT background for photos. Your avatar shows black-patent So Kate on a red hood (what car, the red Audi roadster?), so you know how to do photography.
Yah, I got 2 black-patents HC 130s (1 for backup, "great minds think alike"), they differ by 1/2 size, the smaller one looks/feels sexier (though a bit tight). Right on, I don't do platforms either, they look "hooker-ish", LOL.
Those Brian Atwood (BA) 130s are nice, Engineeringinheels has some good pics and videos.
"there is a little bit of wobble in these, harder to walk than the Hot Chick 130s"
She also agrees with your assessment of "not as stable". She also mentioned that the patent is *softer* than the stiffer Louboutin patent, easier to break-in
She also has both Loub HC 130 and BA FM (F** Me) 130, you two (and Stilly) share the same tastes!

She used to drive a Subaru WRX (all wheel drive..bad a** FAST)

You two should start a website/Instagram/Youtube, combining designer pumps with sportscars:
Fast Cars, Fast Women
Stilly's DBF drives a Mercedes, she likely drives a Euro luxury sportscar. Get her involved.
Goto Auto Shows (Chicago, New York, LA), IMSA races. E.g. Long Beach Grand Prix, they have a super-car event there..I've been there. There is one wealthy lady (Beverly Hills), who drives a Ferrari, shows up in 6" platform pumps, does Charity work. There are pre-race promotional events, like "Roar on the Shore" (in upscale Belmont Shore, south of Long Beach), "Thursday Night Thunder" on Palm Ave. Both (esp the latter) brings in the IMSA race-cars with drivers (for autographs, chit-chat)
Hire professional photographers to get photos and videos. Push it over Social Media, website, etc. Build traffic, get sponsorships, sell advertising space, etc. Launch your platform, with Purseforum/Louboutin as a partner. There is online media channel (started in 2019) for IMSA races, they had a booth at Long Beach GP IMSA paddock. Get interviewed there, push your brand. Ala "Amber Lounge" started by Sonia Irvine, sister of ex Formula 1 racer Eddie Irvine:
What has fast driving and fashion got in common? The two worlds collide with style at Formula One's Monaco Grand Prix.
www.cnn.com
The worlds of F1 and fashion might seem poles apart but imagine if we drew a Venn diagram between the two -- they have a lot more in common than you might think.
Glamor, design, money, luxury, celebrities, an international stage... the list goes on.
Sonia Irvine, sister of former Ferrari driver Eddie Irvine, was quick to spot the link between F1 and fashion.
"There is a strong element of glamor and fashion in F1," she explained to CNN. "In F1 we always strive to be the best and fashion designers are the same. So the idea came along to combine the two."
This year eight drivers, including Red Bull racer Dany Kvyat and Sauber's Felipe Nasr, along with some of their female partners, led by 2009 world champion Jenson Button's stunning model wife Jessica, will take a turn on the catwalk.
The F1 pilots participating in Irvine's show will be dressed in $8,000 bespoke tailor-made suits by London designer Apsley.
"We've got elite drivers, all these cool women, headline designers Julien MacDonald and Odabash MacDonald and sexy models," adds Irvine, who organises the show in aid of Autism Rocks, which raises money for the Autism Research Trust.
Just like any runway show there are also famous faces on the front row. Justin Bieber watched from fashion's pole position last year.
"The teams and some of the drivers and sport's TV presenters enjoy it because they bring along their important VIPs and celebrity guests," says Irvine.
"The majority of the drivers like doing it. It's good PR for them to be seen outside the track doing something fashion-orientated. It gives them a profile for sunglasses sponsors or designers, for example."
Everyone who parades up and down over a grand prix weekend, from the
racers' wives and girlfriends to VIP guests, is under constant scrutiny.
"You are photographed in everything that you do from the minute you walk in to the minute you leave," explains Irvine, who swapped a job in the National Health Service to work as a physiotherapist for her racing driver brother.
"I went from a world that was not very style conscious, where I wore a uniform, to a world where there are photographers and film crews everywhere.
"You have to be aware of how you look and keep yourself fit and presentable."
It's not only F1's females who are style savvy. German TV presenter Ebel has a reputation, and a bit of a cult following, as one of the sport's snappiest dressers.
"F1 is a big mixture of a hi-tech show and business, there are many, many people involved and you shouldn't look like a hustler," Ebel says.
"If you go out of the house, it's my philosophy that you should look in the mirror and say, 'OK, that's good. I'm going here for work and I have to at least look serious and not that I'm going to the beach.'"
^^^ Stilly epitomizes the above, stylish every-single-freaking-day! Christina2 puts an emotional/passionate voice behind her PF/Louboutin posts, she can weave a story! You are a "dark horse", coming out of your lurk mode. Your connection with Motorsports (24 Hrs LeMans), gives you an *interesting* angle. You could pull off a "Sonia Irvine" (Amber Lounge), with a parallel type of Fashion/Motorsports promotional brand. Say, for Charity.

All of sudden your (self indulgent) Passion (cars, designer clothes) can be transformed into Altruism, for-the-greater-good, selflessness, etc. A hero to the American "masses", in conjunction with Wonder Woman (with female director), latter being pushed to young American girls as a (sorely needed) role model.
