buying heels

“It was an absolutely amazing feeling, the first time I wore high heels. It’s almost like someone’s lifting you up and putting you into a vulnerable position… You are put up into a position that’s not natural. It was really kind of an interesting feeling. It was arousing. It was exciting. It was different. Claire Black (Janie)

“I have my own name, I have my own personality, I am a girl… It’s not just the clothes. I don’t behave the same way as a girl as I do as a guy.” – Claire Black (Janie)
