Great pictures! The camel pictures are my favorite (camels crack me up!) You look prepared to take on anything! Can you tell us all about what you are wearing! I especially like your boots.

The hunt for authentic boots

I'm looking for lace-up Amelia Earhart style boots (or riding boots) sans zip for over a year now.

I cannot get a photo of these burberry boots loaded. They are ridiculously expensive, but look like a replica of Patton boots and are really about what I want as I have yet to find any lace-up boots without a zipper.

Anyone have ideas? I need some winter/autumn boots and didn't buy any last year...

Thanks!

How about these Stempunk boots by Penangalens. I have loads of boots form this company- they are all handmade and they are willing to be acomodating- they are'nt too expensive either. i got some 'little red riding hood' boots made for me.

:eek:fftopic: I rode through some of the Sahara desert on a camel- just like me, the smallest in the group, to get the biggest , nastiest and most aggressive camel! It was the only one wearing a muzzle lol

Moved Post - Ladies' Adventure gear

I had posted this in the general safari thread, but some seemed to think it would fit better here, so I hope you don't mind the intrusion of a gentleman into the ladies powder room... (I promise I won't peek!) ;)

What would you gentlemen recommend to a lady as a "starter set"? Exploring the wilds sounds very appealing, but none of my still-slim vintage collection is that rugged and somehow safari in nylon this and synthetic mumbo-jumbo that just doesn't have the same cachet.

Should I take this to the Powder Room?

Don't misunderstand me - I believe in equality with men and women, my views are strictly on the "historical value" when I say that - although many like the "Tom-boy" look of wearing men's clothes, some other (possibly more "lady-like") options might include:

JK, though you're welcome to that if you feel like it...

Resurrecting this thread to ask the lady adventurer cyclists out there how they deal with bike helmets and hairstyles.
I've done quite a bit of cycling in the past (including racing penny farthings, but that's another story) but only recently getting back in the saddle, so to speak. I plan on riding to work which means I need to look relatively respectable when I get there. Hairstyle ideas, currently hair is cut in a middy which I wear in loose curls.

I don't ride bikes but I do ride horses occasionally and the helmets are quite similar. The best solution I found so far was to keep the hair pin curled with bobby pins and covered with a thin scarf. Wear helmet on top of that, then style upon arrival. No great ideas for the way home though ...
