2010 Year In Review

New Year's Eve is here, and I thought that it would be good to do a quick review of the milestones that I have achieved. Read the remainder of the blog entry for the list.

Survey Improvements

I realized that more than 1 person could not do the surveys, on each computer. For example, if you guys have spouses who would like to participate, then they would not be able to fill in the survey, also. I made changes. Now another person can use your computer to participate in the polls.

Would you, please, get your spouses to participate, also? I think that it would be more fun to have more people.

Friday Fun Poll: Wearing Fringe Tights

I created another poll, which is just for fun. It is about the topic of wearing fringe tights. Vote in the poll, and then, if you wish, comment below to share your answers and thoughts.

Last Week's Friday Fun Poll Results: Giving Hosiery As A Christmas Gift

Is She Wearing Pantyhose? #4

Viewing #4a and viewing #4b should give us a good perspective on the same person as last week. I am still very surprised.

Be sure to check out the other Is She Wearing photos. The link is also in the right column, under Popular Topics. For those of you just joining us, read another blog entry for the explanation of "Is She Wearing Pantyhose?".

There are hosiery Wikimedia photos. The link is also in the right column, under Popular Topics. For those of you just joining us, read the introduction of this series, Hosiery In Wikimedia.

Suggestions On The Most Opaque Hosiery

An article mentioned Ellen Tracy's Completely Opaque Tight and another article mentioned HUE Super Opaque Control Top Tight.

This caught my attention, because I am still interested in finding the most opaque pair available.

I suppose that I could go for a thick woolen pair, or a thick cotton pair, but I probably would not enjoy the feeling of those fabrics.

Men Positively Associated With Tights

It seems that some real life superheroes are setting a positive role model. I like this because there is no association with being soft, or being in touch with our feminine side. It is pretty hard to argue with these guys, because they have a legitimate need to hide their identities, and they are doing something that the majority of us can easily recognize as being positive. To confirm my view, please read the comments below that writing.

I highly recommend that you try dressing up as a superhero if you want to wear hosiery with your costume.

She Customized Hosiery And Her Friends Will Try It Also

The following paragraph came from a previous blog entry. I separated it to give it better visibility on the topic of sewing.

This blogger found a tutorial on how to hand sew a full length pair into stockings. A while ago, people only thought of them in terms of not sagging or never buying them again. The way that she and her friends rave about it shows that their attitudes have changed: they are not satisfied with a bad fit, and they are willing to work at it, to get a great fit.

Wonderful Hosiery Trends

Remember what life was like several years ago, when we were excited to see a woman in hosiery? She could wear the 5 year old $1 pair that she bought at the supermarket, and we would still be happy to see her wear the tattered garment [or not]. Well, I have been receiving news and search results in my inbox lately, and things are looking promising. Read the remainder of this blog entry for a bunch of highlights.

[Update: I removed a paragraph and placed it in a separate blog entry, because the main focus was on sewing, even though it did show us their attitudes about hosiery.]

Should This News Feed Be Adjusted?

I just found out that the news feeds are not being sent out in the way that I thought. Before I make any changes, please give me feedback, whether or not you use it.

Be Glad When She Clads

A girl is asking guys for hosiery advice. I share this page with you, for a couple of reasons. First of all, I want to point out that people are discussing hosiery in a relatively positive way. Last of all, I want to use this opportunity to say that I think that the guys that she is concerned about are being ungrateful. Guys, if she clads her legs with hosiery, then be happy.

Perhaps I should coin a new phrase: Be glad when she clads..

"We Love Colors" Hosiery Contest

This is great news. We Love Colors is giving away a pair of tights. They are willing to ship the prize internationally, so we can all participate.

Article: Secret Santa Story

"It's a pantyhose Christmas, everyone!" was kind of funny. It's family friendly.

Merry Christmas

I wish you all a happy holidays. I know that Christmas is controversial topic for some people, so for those who like the occasion, merry Christmas to you, and for everybody, happy New Year.

Spring Hosiery Trends For 2011

A lot of women probably know about the spring 2011 hosiery trends, but I share this with you, so that we can breathe a sigh of relief, knowing that hosiery will be in style.

I really respect their suggestions of using summer dresses with tights to get a winter and spring look.

Women See Hosiery As Feminine, Which Makes It Hard For Them To Accept Us

Many women have a hard time seeing their men in pantyhose. We have heard it all before, but here is another person chiming in. How can we let them feel feminine, because of the hosiery that they wear, while letting us wear hosiery as well?

A Delightful Conversation

A happy couple had a conversation about tights, pantyhose, and leggings. She wants them for Christmas, and he struggles to figure everything out. It is embarrassing for the husband, but it is a delightful conversation. I am impressed that she wants them for Christmas.

Selling Hosiery As Tough Is Difficult

Everybody wants hosiery that lasts forever. Unfortunately, selling a product [e.g. ultra sheer pantyhose] as strong and sensual is challenging, because strength and sensualness are typically mutually exclusive. With new technology, this does not have to be that way. This blog entry touched on the issue. I am glad that he recognized stockings as a good thing. There is a large image available.

I have yet to find the place to buy this hosiery. I even searched for the ad agency's web site, but could not find it. In my opinion, they failed, because did not provide enough information.

Please let us know where to buy them!

A Mozilla Addon For Hosiery

I am a bit surprised that there is an actual Mozilla addon for hosiery. The fact that they seem to get downloads each week implies that there must be a lot people out there who enjoy pantyhose, tights and other hosiery.

I wonder if there is something that we can add to it to move our cause forward. Perhaps the addon could have an option for finding fashion advice to match a purchase? This would help people who are hesitant about not fitting in, when wearing hosiery. There certainly are other needs as well. Perhaps there could be an option for finding the longest pair? Perhaps there could be an option for finding the most opaque pair?

Friday Fun Poll: Purchasing Hosiery As A Group

I created another poll, which is much more serious. It is about the topic of purchasing hosiery as a group. Vote in the poll, and then, if you wish, comment below to share your answers and thoughts.

This poll is related to Creating A Group Discount Site.

The Places With The Most Pantyhose Wearing Men

In the last poll about smoothing out our hosiery, 1 participant asked, "Where are the most pantyhose wearing men?". I do not know that off the top of my head. I assume that the participant wants to know about the results of hosiery and tights in the work place survey.

The results show that most participants are in the US: 14. UK had 5. The other countries had only 1 or 2. The results seem consistent with the amount of visitors that I get. Most come from the US.

Last Week's Friday Fun Poll Results

Last week, I asked, "Do you smooth out your hosiery after washing, before they dry?", and 5 of us said this.

Never!0.0%0
Not usually.20.0%1
Sometimes.0.0% 0
Usually.60.0%3
Always!20.0%1

Also, all 5 of us wanted more, so I will keep trying to make more surveys.

Is She Wearing Pantyhose? #2

Lady #2 is from what appears to be a stock photo. Is the woman on the right wearing sheer hosiery [i.e. tights]? The woman on the left appears to be wearing something.

When I searched for the photo, I tried to search for business women. I found it so interesting, that most business women did not wear skirts and hosiery. I found mostly images of women in pants, and of the women that wore skirts, most went bare legged, or wore extremely obvious hosiery.

Be sure to check out the other Is She Wearing photos. The link is also in the right column, under Popular Topics. For those of you just joining us, read another blog entry for the explanation of "Is She Wearing Pantyhose?".

Banks Recommend Stockings To Staff

It is unfortunate when big businesses and banks fail, but even when all looks bleak, good things can still happen. It seems that there is some progress in the area of more women wearing stockings in the workplace. Read the remainder of the blog entry to read the few things that I have to say about the situation.

When I first read the article, I thought that it was a dress code requirement, but it is a dress code recommendation, and not for the entire organization. They are testing the recommendation on only 5 branches, and intend to extend it to the remainder of the organization later. Unfortunately, it seems that nobody has tried out the recommendations yet.

Also, because it is only a recommendation, I think that it is safe to assume that they are allowed to wear full length hosiery [i.e. pantyhose and tights].

Hopefully, they will allow men to wear shorts and hosiery. I doubt it, though, because I believe that they are going for a conservative professional look, and it would be very difficult to encourage men to wear hosiery, while looking conservative.

It is interesting that the banks request that the women wear flesh coloured underwear. I assume that the author is referring to bras, which might be visible through thinner shirts.

If you respond to the article, then let us know, and feel free to cross post here.

Creating A Group Discount Site

I have put some thought into creating a group discount site which is exclusively focused on purchasing unique hosiery at discount prices. Feel free to use this idea. Just let me know, so that I could avoid doing the same thing as you. Read the remainder of the blog entry for the details on how my idea would work. I will probably create a survey on Friday, for this.

There Is Nothing Exciting Going On

Things have been really slow lately. I have been struggling to find stuff to write about.

Not Wearing Hosiery To My Performance

I will perform in an orchestra presentation, this coming Friday. I wanted to wear hosiery and shorts, but I decided against it, because I do not like the look of my outfit with a black coat, and because I feel that the overall appearance is not something that people are ready for. Also, my brother and parents are coming, and they would not appreciate it. We cannot win them all.

Superheros In Tights Command Respect

This article seems to indicate that men in tights and skin tight clothing can command respect. The more that I think about people disapproving of men in hosiery, the less that they make sense.

First Survey Results

Throughout the next several days, I will share the survey results. If you are a LAUF member, then would you please make sure that the LAUF members know about me posting the results? I ask this favour, because many of the participants were probably from LAUF, and they probably want to know the results.

Tip For Unwrinkling Cleaned Hosiery

I take it for granted that my hosiery will be nice and smooth, before I put it on, as opposed to wrinkled and tangled. The hosiery wearing experience, starts in the brain, before you even put on a pair of hosiery. In fact, it starts before you even see it. I suggest that you read the remainder of this blog entry to see how I make my hosiery nice and smooth, so that you can get the most pleasure out of your hosiery wearing experience. While you are at it, comment below to let me know if you also unwrinkle your hosiery.

Tights Make The Perfect Gift?!? We Have Come A Long Ways!

We have all seen ads that say, "_____ makes the perfect gift.", right? It makes sense, whether they are telling the truth or not, because we understand that they are trying to persuade us to buy their products. I was surprised, though, to see Silkies claim that tights make the perfect gift, because I remember reading a long while ago, that if you give a pair of hosiery as a gift to your gal, then she would be a little bit upset for not giving her something special. So, if you ask me, then I say that a company to claiming that their hosiery makes a good gift is quite a change in society.

3 cheers for hosiery!

Men Can Wear Hosiery [i.e. pantyhose; tights]

Yes, men can wear hosiery [i.e. pantyhose; tights]. Men do it often. In many countries, women suggest the idea to their men, and the men are happy to comply. Even if it is not hot or cold, you might want to wear a pair, to keep your pants clean, so that you would not have to dry clean as often. There are many other reasons to wear hosiery. Feel free to ask people for reasons, if you need more.
