Ampworld Amputee
Toccara Delacerda
You know you're not supposed to stare at people with disabilities. But why not? What if you accidentally see an amputee who was attractive and looked great? Why should you turn your head away? And furthermore, why isn't this person supposed to be attractive? Clearly there is a barrier between people with disabilities, especially amputees, and those who feel themselves attracted to them and want to know them better, and vice-versa. That is blatant prejudice and it needs to change.
We strongly believe that every little success helps to lift the optimism of those who are concerned and conveys the important message that no-one on this planet should be coerced into a feeling of inferiority simply because of a physical disability.
Do you want to see stunning models despite of an amputation or born with a missing limb, convince yourself of the real beautifulness - with the largest model portfolio in the world and models from almost every country and with any kind of amputation. Beauty is not in the eye of the beholder.
If you are a casting agent, art director, television producer any other kind of talent scout and you like to book one of our beautiful models, please get in touch with us. Most of our models are available for commercial modelling jobs for any kind of tv presence, fashion show, magazines or events.
If you or someone you know wants to be a model for our project and have a professional photo shoot, is open minded or could benefit from our shooting and is between the ages of 16 and 40, has lost at least one limb or is born like that, get in touch with us and apply for a professional photo shoot.
Are you an arm or leg amputee or born with a limb difference and would like to take part in a professional photo session carried out by a professional fashion photographer backed up by a team of cosmeticians and stylists with the aim of possibly being a new model for our website? We will make sure you have a wonderful time in Greece and this once in a lifetime experience will be a memory to treasure forever.
The trouble was, everyone kept telling me to love myself despite of my disability but they didn't really tell me how to. These shooting days with Ampworld boosted my self confidence in a way I never thought it is possible and it was by far the most changing and wonderful time of my life.
If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact us at webm...@ampworld.de or through one of our social media channels. If you provide us your telephone number, we will gladly call you back to answer all questions you may have.
Amputee football is a disabled sport played with seven players on each team (six outfield players and one goalkeeper). Outfield players have lower extremity amputations, and goalkeepers have an upper extremity amputation. Outfield players use loftstrand (forearm) crutches, and play without their prosthesis.
The beginnings of Amputee football can be traced to Europe in the early 1900s.[1]The game which is played today, was created by Don Bennett, who was inspired from his accidental kick of a basketball on crutches in 1982.[2] In 1984 the first international amputee football tournament was held in Seattle.[2] With the help of soccer coach Bill Barry, beginning in 1985, Amputee Soccer International was established.[2] Through exhibition matches in the 1980s, the sport attracted media attention and gained popularity.[2]
In 2023, Marcin Oleksy from Warta Poznań, Poland became the first amputee footballer to win the FIFA Pusks Award for "most beautiful goal of the year" at The Best FIFA Football Awards 2022 ceremony.[3]
There are several amputee football associations around the world. A couple examples of this are the England Amputee Association and The Irish Amputee Football Association.[4] Each organization promotes the advancement of the sport and that it gains more recognition. The England Amputee Football Association states their main goal on their website as: "The England Amputee Football Association's aim is to provide all amputees, people with congenital limb deficiencies and persons with restricted use of limbs, with the opportunity to play football locally, nationally and internationally."[5]
Yes - I have. At a hotel about 10 years ago, I saw a very attractive and well-dressed young woman (about 25) with only one leg. She arrived in a wheelchair and wore a very smart black patent slingback shoe with pointed toe and stiletto heel about 5" high on her single foot. Her male companion helped her out of the chair and kept close to her as she walked confidently into a wedding reception, supported by a single crutch. Presumably, the poor girl had recently lost a leg in an accident (and had yet to receive an artificial leg) but was not going to let it spoil her day. She was certainly a headturner - brave as well as beautiful. I wonder if she carried on with heels after getting an artificial leg - Heather Mills McCartney seems to manage with her very realistic prosthetic limb.
Since there are people who can run with prostethic legs (I've seen it on TV), walking - although in high heels - shouldn't be rocket science. As for that matter, I'm sure I've seen at least one or more women with a broken leg in plaster, who wore a high-heeled shoe on the good foot and clutches to keep the balance. I think that is close to one-legged hopping. (shouldn't this thread be in For Everybody?)
I also agree with Alih... It is possible. There are many amputees who have successfully been able to wear a high heel, both in conjunction with a prosthesis which has a special foot to accomodate a heel and also as a "stand alone" with a pair of crutches. A prosthetic foot I beleive could handle a heel of about 2-3 inches in height, whereas in this picture we all know this woman is wearing a heel of approx. 6"
I have to admit that I do have an attraction for women who have lost a leg. For those who are curious about it please feel free to send me a private message and we can discuss more as it might not be relative to this exact thread.
I suppose that, logically, it might be easier for a one-legged person supported on one or two crutches to cope with a very high heel. After all, with a little practice, much of the weight can be taken off the foot (especially with two crutches) and the shoe is then almost a passenger on the foot rather than giving it full support. (Having recently used crutches during a bout of sciatica, I soon found out how different it was to walk with them.) An amputee in a high heel can, I suggest, be compared with the woman in the very high heeled (or, more precisely, thick soled) 'chopines' worn in the 16th century, which required her to be given the support of a servant or a walking stick.
Puffer,You are correct in your thinking about crutches actually giving a woman with one leg MORE support as she navigates on a single high heel. I have had the pleasure of being involved with a woman with only one leg. Having known her before her leg loss she loved to wear classic 4-5" pumps and vowed to do so once she got her life back in order after her terrible loss. Although I was not with her during the time of her amputation I am dating her know albeit long distance, but we are able to see each other almost once a month. Getting back to the point, she has since begun to experiment a bit with her favorite pumps. she is able to get around her place and when we go out to dinner quite well although there are times where she is a bit tenative... uneven surfaces, steps, slick floors or certain types of carpets.... All in all she does well and feels that the crutches give her additional side to side support that when she had two legs and wore a pair of heels she did not have.Would she love to have her leg back.... well absolutely...... but she makes the most of her current life and tries not to look in the rearview....Higheeluv
I'm sure there was a similar thread on this recently but I can't find it. I saw a woman on a train near Amsterdam recently who had just one leg. The other leg ended in a very nice high heeled sandal, about 3". Using crutches she moved easily off the train, down a crowded staircase and walked about half a mile. All done faster than many people with 2 legs. She was smartly dressed too. An excellent example of how to live normally despite a significant disability.
I'm not sure if anyone has read this post lately but today I was surfing and came across some updates to a site called "Dream-Amp" It's obviously a site that combines beauty and sexiness in addition to the women only having one leg.
Jennifer is one of the models there and despite her having one leg she is extremely attractive. To some she would be perfect because she has one leg. She has released sme new photosets and they include her wearing some very high heels. I have included links to her sample pictures for you to enjoy. Again as we stated before it might actually be easier for her to navigate on a single heel and crutches due to the extra support the crutches give her.
She carries it of well and looks sexy.I guess it is about attitude more than anything.Now, without wishing to do anything else than raise a smile, what shoe is always on display in the shoe shops, is it the right hand or left?
I really never saw a one-legged lady in heels before (but this thread) but a week ago I saw a blind one, in nice 4'' heels and tittering with her bengal around the walkway. I was impressed!For those that don't know Sao Paulo, there's lots of holes in the walkways around here. When I was freestyling last saturday I changed to lower heels because of holes. The blind girl looked like a heroine for me!
