Here are photos of men in crazy outfits on the runway, wearing hosiery. I am glad that it is becoming more obvious and prominent. I think that it will force people to think about it.
Unfortunately, it is not how we dress at all. Hopefully, people will be turned off of those outfits, but not be turned off of how we dress.
We have heard of many ways to reuse hosiery. HosieryDrawer.com suggests, Stretch an old nylon leg over a dehydrator tray and you have a great surface for drying home-made paper.

Dear Hosiery Advocate, I am a guy, who usually wears pink tights with shorts. Every time I walk down the street, people look at me in a strange way. How do I get them to stop?

For those of you who have not explored my blog all the way, yet, I would like to point out that there should be a list of pages along the top of the page: Home; Find Me; Colourful Pairs; Opaquest Pairs; About; Open Surveys. If you click on Open Surveys at the top, then you should be able to find a list of surveys that are still open. I made the open surveys page to allow you to avoid searching through all the blog entries to find out what surveys are still open.
For those of you, who have not seen my open surveys page, I want to point out that I forgot to place a link to the reopened survey. I finally noticed it, and corrected it. Here's a quote on that page.
This survey has been reopened. Read the blog entry for the results and commentary. I don't quite know why I even closed it in the first place.
4 of us responded. Read the remainder of the blog entry for the results.
Even though I have posted the results, I will still allow the survey to remain open, so that we could allow more people to participate.
This is just for fun. It is about what parts of our hosiery typically get runs first. Vote in the poll, and then, if you wish, comment below to share your funniest laddering story. Men and women are encouraged to participate.

I am not sure if it is worth the fuel to ship your nylons and stockings to them, but No nonsense now accepts hosiery for recycling.
Remember when men in shorts and hosiery first appeared on the runway? It was exciting, because we seemed to be making progress. However, not much happened after that, other than more brands coming out. Men in shorts and hosiery [i.e. opaques; tights] on the runway has been generating news, in the past 7 days. This time around, I think that it is going to make more of an impact, because a lot of people are already aware of it. Also, this time around, women are more interested in wearing shorts and hosiery. This could be the big change that we have been waiting for.
Altering hosiery has become a little more popular in the last little while, as people become more interested in getting hosiery that fits. A friend on Twitter recommended that I apply Fray Check, instead of sewing.
Carl Landry is not advocating the full length hosiery that we wear, but he is doing the world a big favour by advocating compression socks. I believe that when people wear ankle high socks, they end up being less interested in full length hosiery, and that the higher the socks, the more that they'll be open to full length hosiery.
First, I'm sorry about not publishing this information sooner. I kept putting it off, until I forgot about it. Second, bear in mind that I answered twice, because I answered for 2 different jobs that I had: 1 in a department store; 1 in the army.

By the way, this took hours of work. Would you do me a favour, and write "Thanks!", in a comment below? It would really encourage me. This blog entry actually made me miserable.
To protect your privacy, I removed the requirement to type in your city. Hopefully, I did not forget to do it for the older surveys. I think that your city is unnecessary at this stage. In fact, it is probably completely unnecessary.
I decided to keep the serious surveys open, instead of closing them every week. Those of you who did not get a chance to participate can do so. Take a look at Open Surveys to find them. I do not understand why I ever closed them in the first place.
I asked about our colour preferences for group purchases, and 5 of us responded. Read the remainder of the blog entry for the results.
Even though I have posted the results, I will still allow the survey to remain open, so that we could allow more people to participate.
I created another poll, which is for the hosiery group purchase. This is not just for fun. It is about which lengths we want to purchase. Vote in the poll, and then, if you wish, comment below to share your answers and thoughts, or not. Men and women are encouraged to participate, but the products will be for men, but the products should be usable for many women too.

It seems that there are health care professionals voicing their concerns over control top tights for pregnant women. My opinion is women should not focus on their appearances, as far as tummy compression goes. It should be entirely about the health of the baby, and then the health of the mother. In most/all cases, the health of both are 1 in the same. So, wear the control top hosiery, if it is healthy, and do not wear it, if it is not. If it is neither healthy nor unhealthy, then do what feels best.
I say this, just to voice my opinion, so that anybody trying to get a sense of what the internet community thinks, can get my opinion.
Sometimes people get a chance to discuss with me why I wear hosiery. I want them to know that 1 of the reasons is that I want to practise creating a trend. It seems that tights are becoming too irresistible for women. Unfortunately for me, I do not get any credit for this, as far as I know.
Keep on pushing on. VICTORY-Y-Y-Y-Y-Y!!!
Several days ago, I tried to make a couple of suggestions for good beginner hosiery. It turns out that HUE is recommended by somebody else. Here is the choice quote from her blog entry.
I went shopping a few days ago and purchased a pair of Hue tights from Anthropologie. They were $14.50 and they're called the Super Opaque Control Top Tight. I love the look of opaque tights but have never been able to find one that's very opaque. These Hue tights are definitely one of the best I've ever tried. They're very opaque and I like that the seams aren't as noticeable as some others. I hate when you wear tights under a mini and you can see the outline of the seam. I also love that they don't fall down. Some tights are so stretchy and thin that they don't stay up on your waist. I highly suggest them if you like super opaque tights!
I plan on buying a pair to test them, and then if they are good, then I will try to update the opaquest hosiery page.
Quite a few of my visitors want to know about fashion trends for 2011. The Edmonton Journal confirms the shorts and hosiery trend for this winter season. You can see Nicole Richie wearing shorts and tights, this winter [better photos], as well. This is great news. Good job, women. If only the men could climb on board.
I am so sorry. Please forgive me. I remember saying that I would post some testimonials from that survey. It turns out that I deleted them all. I must have forgotten about them, when I deleted the survey. I am very disappointed, because there were good stories in there. If you left a testimonial that you would like to share, then please feel free to comment below. Also, feel free to promote your blog.
Last week, I read a lady's blog entry on how to roll up hosiery. It has some nice photos to illustrate the technique.
I am not sure that I want this technique for most of my hosiery, but it would make sense for packing my suitcase. I could store the rolled up hosiery in my shoes, and it would not take much extra space. The panty portion would protect the leg portion. It might also make sense for the hosiery that I wear at home, because I do not really care about its condition.
Last week, I asked about us selling our used hosiery, and 3 of us responded. Read the remainder of the blog entry for the results.
I created another poll, which is for the hosiery group purchase. This is not just for fun. It is about which colours we want to purchase. Vote in the poll, and then, if you wish, comment below to share your answers and thoughts, or not. Men and women are encouraged to participate, but the products will be for men, but the products should be usable for many women too.

Viewing #6 seems extremely debatable.

Remember the olden days, when hosiery was on the decline? Sigvaris offers another colour, due to customer demand. It is good to know that hosiery is becoming more popular.
The National Post mentioned that ShaToBu is a shortened description of what it does: shape; tone; burn. I either never knew that, or completely forgot.
It seems that Tightsplease.co.uk made a significant contribution to the war effort. The company's founder claims that orders are coming in from soldiers in Iraq and Afghanistan.
Congratulations, on your recognition and success, Tightsplease.co.uk!
The question has been discussed by women. It seems that feminists complained to the police about Hooters marketing to children.
So far, my view is that it is not appropriate for children, because the restaurant is based on sexuality. Women are wearing tight clothing to show off body parts. In ballet, they are wearing tight clothing, too, but they do not do it, to show off body parts.
You do not have an opinion on the matter, do you?
A friend and I discussed her friend not wearing hosiery. We thought a bit about how to get her back into them. This made me wonder what the ideal pair is for somebody who has never worn any, or who needs to...to...get back into it. ;^D Read the remainder of the blog entry for my suggestions
Last week, I asked about us wearing fringe tights. Read the remainder of the blog entries for the results.
I created another poll, which is just for fun. It is about the topic of selling your used hosiery. Vote in the poll, and then, if you wish, comment below to share your answers and thoughts, or not. This particular topic is a bit private, I think.
Viewing #5 should be a bit easier than the last couple.

Read the remainder of this blog entry to share in my experiences in helping another person to organize her clothes, and to see how I organize my own small hosiery collection.
If you have any questions, then post them in the comments section below. Since I will preview the comments, you can send me private messages, too. Just specify that it is a private message, and then I will not publish it. It is the same thing, if you leave your email address for me to contact you.
Choosing good looking hosiery can be challenging, if you want to try something adventurous. I definitely am not an expert, but I encourage you to read the remainder of the blog entry for some of my advice on how to deal with patterns and colours.
Are you tired of casual Fridays? An article says that the work place is becoming more formal. That means tights, pantyhose, and stockings are becoming popular. To me, that means more hosiery!
This page had a comment that I found funny. I think that the author meant it in a different way than we would, if we wrote it, but it seemed funny to me. If you go to that page, then be sure to read the entire paragraph, otherwise, you might miss it.
Happy New Year. I wish you all the best for 2011. It is cliche but true.
Sorry for the late post. I have been a little bit busy. It is 11:36p, and I still have not eaten supper yet.
