Wholesome compliment

I'm sorry, but this nonsense has to end. Women don't realise how dangerous high heel shoes are for their ankles, back, and long-term posture.
I remember reading somewhere (cant find the godamn source for the life of me) that the risk of ankle injury increases by 150% for each cm added to the heel.
High heels are unnatural, dangerous, and uncomfortable. End this.
- Eh.... I wouldn't recommend them for use during vigorous activity or on uneven ground. But they honestly aren't that big of a deal for the majority of people. Around a cm of heel height is built into the vast majority of shoes. Most work boots and especially cowboy boots can have 3-4 cm of extra heel height without causing problems.
  People with hyper mobile ankles or heels can be at higher risk of ankle injuries, but when people with higher mobile joints turn their ankles the sprains tend to be less severe. People with tight calves, heel spurs, hx of plantar fasciitis, or shortened Achilles can actually find high heeled shoes more comfortable than flats.
  Everyone is different, just because you feel unsafe or uncomfortable in heels doesn't mean everyone does.
- Well, pumpkins, looks like it's the age-old dilemma. Style... or substance.
- Ya but they really make an ass pop! But ya what you said
- Yeah but they look cool. Incredibly painful but cool.
  Also it's kind of amusing to watch people struggling in high heels from the comfort of my cushioned, flat shoes. I'm a little mean :D

Really wish we could just let people enjoy things.

Well, if I had legs like that...
- Legs allllll the way down to the shoes
  
  Two of them!
- No shit right!!! My god they pull off those nylons!
- Yeah people will/would have legs like that
- It’s the legs and heels. Damn I’m jealous.

She's always had fantastic legs

I'll be honest, I don't think that jacket is very flattering. I'd probably take that zipper down about halfway to let the lapels lay out, better framing that way.
Waist down slays tho

Le singe est sur la branche.

You do you, Suzy Eddie Izzard. I think you look great! I wish I could wear high heels, sadly I have vertigo :(. And zippers? Okay, I had a REALLY bad experience with an orthodontist. So zippers kind of trigger the ptsd (JK)

Them legs tho. Mm mm he looks way better than I do in a skirt
- She.

She looks the same as when I was watching her stand up at a crisp 240p back in the day
- He not a she, he is a transvite but still a man. According to one of his comedy specials. Has that changed?
  
  She changed her name to Suzy and became She by preference, but he is also happy to be referred to as he or Eddie.
  
  Yes, she came out as a trans woman several years ago

Holy shit those are great legs!
- Izzard runs marathons like it's nothing.

- She does like heels.

I've never understood why anybody would willingly wear high heels.
- Because Suzie is an executive transvestite.
  
  Elle est une travestite executive.
  
  Parce que
- Why would anyone do anything even slightly inconvenient, just so they'd look more attractive to potential mates..... Oh wait.
- It helps keep your shoes in the stirrups when riding your horse.
  Edit: can't ride a house
  
  Baba Yaga, is that you?
- It's fun and a skill showoff if you master it.
  
  My first wife could run in high heels. I always laugh at people bagging on that scene in Jurassic World. Yes, I've seen it done.
  If she was going out directly after work, she'd sometimes wear them in the OR. If they needed a tool from a far repository, she'd run the 1/4 mile back and forth through the hospital.
  My second wife couldn't wear heels to save her life, looks like our 11-yo daughter stumbling around on 3 inchers.
  Skill issue indeed!

I just saw her performing a one-person show of Hamlet a few days ago. Really amazing and funny. Everyone should check if she's got a show in your area and go to it.
- I saw her solo Hamlet in New York and loved it so much. As a longtime fan of the play as well as the performer, it was a great evening on both counts.
  
  I would also recommend it as someone who always sort of enjoyed the play and Shakespeare but was never really into them. But if you're in that category, read the little page they give out which tells you the relationships between the characters.
- She (or he, back then) also translated her entire comedy routine into German and performed it to native speakers in Germany to prove that humour is not language dependent. And then translated it into Arabic and performed to native Arabic speakers (in Lebanon, I think) to continue the experiment.
  
  French, too! Pretty damn impressive.

As Cotton Hill said “Gams is gams”

that guy rocks, if anyone hasn't seen his 43 marathons in 51 days documentary, it's pretty great btw

Wait, they went with _Suzy?" That's a choice that makes me feel old.
- Apparently they wanted to use that name since they were 10. I did a little dive on the ol Wikipedia because I was unaware about the transition. Good for her though. Izzard's comedy has never really been my cup of tea, but I'm happy to see her being true to herself.
  
  Izzard's comedy has never really been my cup of tea
  it’s the bees isn’t it
- I love how the name choice is the part that makes you feel old :P something about that made me smile

- Sir Elton wishes his legs looked like that.
  
  yea those legs took some work
  but run like 30+ marathons will do that

Simply an ugly jacket or one that definitely doesn't look good with it.
- I dunno, it could be worse. I think it's more the material than the style that's clashing with the skirt and hose. That jacket matches the shoes decently, and some folks match those as part of an overall style.
  Not my kind of thing, I prefer to match jackets with pants, and prefer jackets match skirts or pants when I'm looking at fashion stuff on others. But, hey, not my outfit anyway :), Suzy can do what they've always done and challenge fashion and gender norms.
  It's kinda their thing the wear stuff that pushes the boundaries of both, and that goal is successful here, if that was the intent.
  
  Yes, I agree with that. But above all, you also explain exactly what I don't like about the outfit.

Lol this is just depressing, 61 isn't old, go do your homework and go to bed..
- Hah, found the 62-year-old in the thread! Calm down, granny - you're old.
  (I'm 53 this year, and I've accepted that I'm almost certainly past the middle of my life and into the downward slope towards entropy - you should give "acceptance" a chance!)
  
  I'm 32 - I don't wish I were younger. I just wish that women weren't expected to disappear as they age, as opposed to men, who gain status.
- I help octogenarians at work everyday and am always stunned they're that old. I usually peg them at early 70s. One guy was 82 and I swear he could have been 65. I think the look on my face when they tell me is compliment enough.
  People just don't look as old as they used to. Maybe that's me aging, but I swear to god, 40 was the limit in my youth. Past that everyone became fat, dumpy and out of fashion, or more like, no fashion.
  And these Florida women! I was dating hot and heavy a few years ago and had 3 gf's around 49-52 that were absolutely hot, cute and fit. My wife is 54 and could pass for late 30s, but she's Asian so that's cheating. When I moved here, I was not prepared. A woman with gorgeous hair and a surfer's body would turn around and be 70.
  Anyone else see this? Explanations?
- Pretty old to be covered in bees
- No future just die kind of old? No. But 61 is old enough to cause some physical problems for people, often making it hard to keep in shape - which is not the case here and that's what we're admiring in the pic.
  
  No, this is patronizing as hell. Nobody sees 60-70 year old men in dress suits or tuxes and goes oooohhh, good job!!!! Wow!!! Like wtf. What are women in their 60s supposed to wear, burlap sacks?
