If I ever get a real kiss, I will remember it. It's looking like it will never happen though. lol

Are all the men in Minnesota blind???

My first kiss was under duress, my friend threatened her boyfriend she would break up with him if he didn't kiss me. No way it would have happened otherwise, I was the school geek.

My first shoes with my own money? Easy. 1980, slate gray patent leather fetish pumps with babydoll rounded toes and 4.5" heels. Not at all practical. So sexy.

First record, Jackson Browne's "Running On Empty", 1979.

I remember my first kiss! I was 13 and it was with a really tall boy called Michael - he was the best-looking boy in the year, and being one of the 'inbetweeners' (neither one of the cool kids nor a geek) I could not believe my luck when he asked me to 'go out for a walk' with him! The kiss itself was not brilliant - I remember wondering what all the fuss was about and why people in movies didn't end up with saliva covering half their faces! lol lol

I think we dated for a few weeks but I don't remember what happened after that!

I have no idea what the first pair of shoes bought with my own money was... but I do remember buying my first cassette album - Nirvana Nevermind when I was 10!

My first kiss was....interesting. I'd known the guy forever, it was on my 16th b-day party. I walked him out to the car, and we were standing and talking, then a FOX just walked up to us. Like 3-4 feet. It stopped and looked at us and we were just like"...is that a fox?" I looked at the guy, turned my head to look at the fox, turned my head back to the guy and....:eek: haha, never dated the guy, still friends though.

Shoes were from Debs.com Black sued-ish slouch boots with 4 inch heels :D

First pair of shoes at 13, black velvet closed saloon with a long high hell.
First kiss, at 16 at the rockabilly join of my hometown with Carlos aka "Trompi"
He was 2 years younger than me haha.!!!
My first record? i am not sure which one it was but i am sure was an Elvis Presley one and possibly around the same age.
First time i used the lipstick, at 13, a vintage lipstick from my nan ( didn't care about expiring dates by then) and the color? a very daring red orangy one lol

I cannot for the life of me, remember my first pair of shoes (even the first pair that I purchased as a young adult)! I wonder what that says about me? [huh] lol.

I do remember my first kiss though: I was about five and playing "Sleeping Beauty" with my friend Danny (who was a complete looker--even at that age), and he kissed me. ;) Then, I didn't kiss anyone else until an unfortunate, thankfully short-lived date with a boy who is a complete jerk at age 21. To top it off, he's my husband's friend, so I suppose I shall never forget that one. Yuck!

First grade a boy knocked me on the ground, stole a kiss and ran off.
Unlike Lizzie I was and still am entranced by kissing. I remembered his name till recently like now and it will drive me batty all day today.

First shoes were blue round top tennis shoes as my mother thought it best to put me in them for whole childhood. that and pixie haircut.
oops, I have no idea first shoes I bought with my own money. Most of the time I had no money.

First song I remember I must of been 4 years old. It was Wooden Heart. I remember dancing to it while my little sister was asleep in her crib. She had a bird mobile over it.

I don't remember the shoes at all.

I remember the first name of the first kiss.

Now, I don't know what kind of gal this makes me, but I can tell you that Joey Pamone of the White Tiger Tattoo parlor in NY state did my ink. lol I can even tell you, as he was tossing us free key chains and the other girls were asking for pink and red, he tossed me black and said, "I know...you get the black one." Well, right on mister!

well, how surprising is it to remember the guy who stabs you thousands of time :) hehehe.

:eek:fftopic: funny thing happened to me with my tattoo - I was trying to show him where I wanted it placed on my back and he says "I know where you want it" and guess what - he was right. yeah, I remember his name too.

Now back to kissing and shoes....

Okay.

xxxxxxx

First favorite shoes: A pair of black leather oxfords, mid 1950's. They were my grandmothers and she gave them to me when I was 12 and a size 5. I wore them until I was 17 and a size 6.5 and it was too painful to squeeze in them anymore. Subsequently, I now have a deformed bone in both my feet from wearing shoes too small for too long. I loved those shoes, way too much for my own good. When I finally put them in the charity box, besides a few scuffs, they were in excellent condition. Speaks of the craftsmanship.

First shoes *I* bought: A pair of purple satin dress sandals with a 2 inch heel. I held on to them a while too and actually wore them on my husband and my first date. They recently fell apart. :(

First kiss: Adam L. I had just turned 14. After school, on the way to the bus line. *rolls eyes* So romantic, dontchaknow?

First Album bought for me: Paula Abdul; Forever Your Girl.

First Album *I* bought: Aerosmith's Big Ones

No tats yet.

First shoes? I believe they were red Mary Janes...

First kiss was December 17th of my grade 8 year. His name was Chris, he was shorter than me, and he had the most breathtaking green eyes. It was right after the Christmas dance - His friends later told me he'd been planning the moment for weeks. We dated until high school started and then he became a total loser!

He was a pretty good kisser, though lol

Woman 'more likely to remember first pair of shoes rather than first kiss' - Telegraph
"Whether they are a pair of Manolo Blahnik’s, Jimmy Choos, such as those worn by Sarah Jessica Parker in Sex and the City, or just an ordinary pair of high street shoes, more than 92 per cent of women could remember the first shoes they bought with their own money. Less than two, however, in three recalled the name of the person they first kissed, the survey found."

I don't remember the first pair I bought with my own money, but I DO remember the first shoes I ever loved - metallic cherry red patent mary janes. I probably did irreparable damage to my feet wearing them long after they fit. And I remember them much more fondly than I do my first kiss!

I remember my first kiss. I was 13 and I was at our local under-16s disco. I was wearing my friend Mel's bright pink dress. I wasn't wearing my glasses, under the impression that they made me look less attractive, and it was dark so I had no idea what he looked like! My friends had gone to find a boy who might like to kiss me... then I had to go and see him, whilst he judged whether he wanted to or not!! How romantic!!

As for the first shoes I bought myself, I'm not sure. The first shoes I can remember paying for with my own money are pink and black checkerboard Vans but I'm sure I must have bought some before that.

So I don't believe this at all!

My first real kiss was with a boy on a dare during truth or dare.

First pair of high heels...I think i was 5 and they were for my baptism. they were white patent maryjanes with a bow and a coral sole. I wore them out. I loved them.

First album that was actually MINE and not shared with my sister? Much Dance 1993, the year I got my first boom box.

i haven't the faintest idea about the shoes,
however the kiss was only last year. :')

Its funny to think back to now. it went

'I want to do something but i don't know how'
(i mentally aww-ed)
so i stepped forward and it was the shortest kiss you have ever ever had haha!

but i'll never forget it and i wouldn't lick my lips for hours!

I'm still with him :)

I wish I could forget my first kiss!

My first high-heels were a very sensible-looking pair of pointy-ish black sling-backs which didn't really match anything. The first pair of shoes that I bought on my own were a pair of cream t-bar heels. They were pretty cute but pretty cheap and not that comfortable really, I recently donated both pairs to charity because I never worse them any more... hopefully someone else can enjoy them!
