Got Gal To Buy Many Pairs

At work, a customer was looking for light skin tone sheer hosiery. She could not find any, so she would have left empty handed, if I understand correctly. When I helped her, I manged to find a couple of brands that had her size-colour combination, and she bought about about 10 pairs!

A couple of similar situations happened with a couple of other customers, but they bought many less.

I love my job!

Energizer Hosiery Available In Opaques

I was at Sears on Monday, and had a few minutes to kill, so I browsed the displays. Energizer opaques must be new. I never heard of them before. I look forward to trying them some day.

Used Hosiery: Bungee Cord Replacements #4

Generally speaking bungee cords are used for things which need to be tied down snugly and securely. However, there are times, when you will need to use some kind of cord that expands and contracts to fit a task, and the cord will not need to pull very hard.

Read the remainder of my post for how to use hosiery instead of bungee cords.

This blog post is the fourth part in a small series about how you can make the best use of your damaged hosiery, when using them instead of bungee cords.

First Day Of Work At Sears In Downtown Vancouver

I had a wonderful time.

I had time after the orientation, so I spent time organizing the racks and tables for the socks and hosiery. I spent a good chunk of my time organizing the 3-packs.

I even learned a technique of making the most of the limited space. For example, you might have 3 colours, with only 2 spaces. The trick is to alternate the colours consistently, instead of randomly stuffing them in, so that people can easily find them by looking through the packages. I hope that that makes sense.

I even got to help a customer find a pair of knee highs. Because we could not find what she wanted, she chose the next best pair.

I look forward to tomorrow. I will be completely free to do what I want, since I have not be trained. I will focus on organizing the hosiery stockroom, if it needs any organizing. I will also try to replenish stock.

I look forward to 8 hours of organizing hosiery. I love it.

Hosiery, Turtlenecks, T-shirts, & Shorts

Yesterday, I tried to sell you on the benefits of wearing turtlenecks. Today, I will share some tips on buying and some suggestions on how to match them with your t-shirts and shorts. Read the remainder of my post for more info.

I Got The Hosiery Job For Sure

Around noon, the department manager from Sears called me to say that I should come in to fill in the forms and officially accept the job. I will stay for training, and begin working this Saturday.

I am so excited to work in hosiery sales.

My Book Was Checked Out 4-5 Times Each

I asked my city's library how often my hosiery book was checked out. It turns out that each was checked out 4-5 times! That's 4-5 times more than I expected!

Yeehah!!!

Why We Should Wear Turtlenecks

The other day, I came to the conclusion that turtlenecks and hosiery can create a sporty look, and felt that you could benefit from them. Therefore, I created a 2 part series of blog posts about turtlenecks. Read the remainder of my post for some reasons for adding turtlenecks to your wardrobe.

Sears Has Not Officially Hired Me

It turns out that they called me all that way just to have me fill in 1 form for a background check. I will probably find out tomorrow, and hopefully be brought in for Wednesday morning's training, and then work my first shift on Saturday.

I will keep you posted.

The Stylish Fox Hosiery Arrived Today

I am so excited. I will start planning how to review them. I think that I want to write a few reviews, over a few days.

Sears Hosiery Manager Is A Guy

In the earlier blog entry, I mentioned, This is probably the first time in decades, that a guy has been interviewed for this type of job.. I should mention that the manager is a guy. I do not know if he interviewed for the job as I did, or if he was assigned the job after working in another department. Maybe he is leading the way, and not me.

I will keep you posted.

Did Sears Really Offer Me The Job?

After getting a good sleep, I am beginning to wonder if they really are offering me the job. I was specifically told to go in at 2p, today, and bring ID to fill in forms. I am certain that they do not need ID when just filling in an application. I guess that we will know for sure, tomorrow.

Applied For Second Hosiery Job

On early Sunday Morning, I applied for another hosiery job, which requires working with packaging and images. It will involve a lot more than that, though. They also want somebody to network with bloggers.

Sears Offered Me The Hosiery Job!

About 20 minutes ago, I got a call on my cell phone. I accepted. I was supposed to go for a second interview, but they just hired me.

Hosiery Advocate will be a hosiery sales man, tomorrow, at 2p, in Downtown Vancouver! 3 cheers for Hosiery Advocate!!!

Sears Offers 50% Off Hosiery

I saw the local flier say that the sale goes on until Oct. 2. You need to buy 5 pairs of hosiery or more. It is a good time to stock up on your favourites and try some new pairs too.

Hosiery In Wikimedia: Pink Outfit To Support Breast Cancer Research

Supporting breast cancer research (2907275545)

She wrote that she is wearing Lindex leggings. I thought that she was not using the term properly, and technically, she is not, but it turns out that they really are sold as leggings.

Breast Cancer Awareness Month is October. Women, definitely wear pink hosiery and short skirts or shorts to make hosiery more prominent, please! Guys, it is a bit of a risk, but please consider wearing pink opaque tights and black shorts in October, also. We could do it to raise awareness that even men can get breast cancer, and it would be all absolutely true.

Called Back For A Second Round Of Interviews

The department manager liked me enough that I will be interviewed again on Sunday. I must bring ID, in case they want to hire me. He seems to have made his decision. I just need to impress his boss, so that I can start stocking those racks with sheers and opaques!

I Will Be In Fringe [season 4 episode 6]

There will a scene in the tunnel, and I will be near the front of the line up.

I did not get a chance to wear hosiery and shorts. I wish that I did try, but I thought that they wanted us to wear suits first.

Friday Fun Poll: Did You Wear White Hosiery This Summer?

All hot weather must come to an end. I managed to wear white opaques a few times before the recent door knocking job. Once I got the recent door knocking job, I wore it often. How did you do?

I really think that the white hosiery kept the sun off my legs.

Sears Offered Me An Interview For Hosiery Sales Job

Remember when I applied for a hosiery job? I actually got a call from Sears for a job interview for a hosiery sales job. I cannot believe it! They called yesterday, at 3:15p PDT. This is probably the first time in decades, that a guy has been interviewed for this type of job.

This is the first time, in a long time, that I will actually prepare for an interview.

Feet Still A Little Rough

I have been applying petroleum jelly regularly, and my feet are much smoother, but the heels still have a slight Velcro feel, when removing hosiery. I think that I need to start applying in between showers. I remember my heels being smoother when I did it before. In those days, I applied it more.

Also, the skin problems might be because my feet are more calloused from all the walking with my door knocking jobs, whereas before, I only had regular thick skinned heels.

Are any of you dealing rough feet?

Finally Had 40 Visitors Each Day For Whole Month

From Jul. 28 until Aug. 27, I had over 40 visitors each day for the first time. It has not gone below that, since then, either. I appreciate all of you regulars. I also appreciate all of you who have directed some of your traffic to my blog. Thank you very much.

My next goal is to get over 45 visitors each day, for a month. That will be challenging, but I think, that I can do it, because of several reasons.

  • I am becoming more organized in how I create blog posts.
  • I am also creating more consistent content.
  • I only have to go another couple of days before I reach this milestone.
  • I have gotten bigger spikes in visitor numbers lately.

In the near future, I will continue posting Wikipedia hosiery photos, and used hosiery ideas. I hope to post more hosiery fiction, Is She Wearing, and surveys, but we will have to see about that.

Blogging Is Therapeutic

Right now, I am editing a blog post about wearing turtlenecks and hosiery. I find it so satisfying. I feel as if everything in life is going to be alright. I hope that I find a way to make hosiery advocacy pay well, so that I could devote more time to this.

By the way, that blog post will be available tomorrow.

Will Be On Fringe

This Thursday, I will be on the TV show, Fringe. I will try to wear hosiery and shorts, as you might expect. I will give you more information, as I get it.

I thought about when I first wore hosiery to a job like this, and realized that I have come a long ways. I remember wearing hosiery under pants, and trying to hide it. Now I am trying to show it off to get attention.

Another Job Interview

This time the interview was for a job that involved warehousing and retail sales. I will not be able to wear hosiery and shorts during work, because of uniforms and safety, but that is okay.

For the interview, I wore white runners, grey mostly opaques, my ugly worn out grey shorts, and my blue collared golf shirt. Despite how bad the shorts are, I am so certain that the hosiery makes all the difference. I felt guilty about how casual I looked, and it worked.

Volunteered At The Vancouver Fringe Festival

I have been quite busy lately, partly because of wasted time, but also because of my volunteering at the Fringe Festival. It was a good opportunity to see familiar faces again. I wore my hosiery and shorts every time I volunteered there, and I can assure you that people are very happy to see me still. In other words, they are not put off by my hosiery.

In the previous blog entry, I mentioned that somebody asked me about the hosiery advocacy on Sep. 10. I saw her again, and mentioned that I will be reviewing a couple pairs of hosiery from a friend who is starting a hosiery business. She was happy that I told her about it. My dear readers, you can bet your bottom dollar that there are people out there who cheer for us.

Applied For Hosiery Sales Job

The other day, I found a job ad for hosiery sales. I did not think that I would get it, but I created a cover letter and sent it off, anyways. Not only did I create a cover letter, I even wrote a short letter in the email. I am nervous, because I need the job, and because I think that the odds are stacked against me. I would love this job!

Read the rest of the post, if you are curious about what I wrote.

Got Another Job Offer For Supervisor Position

Yesterday, I went to a job interview. I wore a new pair of grey mostly opaques, and my grubby grey shorts. In February, I am supposed to take a group of people out door knocking. I will join them for the few remaining weeks, this year.

My Feet Are Smoother

When I put on my hosiery last night, I did not feel the hosiery snag against the skin of my feet. Without any moisturizer, hosiery rubs against my feet the way that hosiery rubs against Velcro. It is not enjoyable at all.

I think that my feet will be ready for when my Trasparenze hosiery from The Stylish Fox arrives.

A Few People At UK Tights

Part of the pleasure of being a hosiery enthusiast is knowing a bit about the companies that we support. Here is a video showing us 3 of the people who work at UK Tights. If you like them, then I recommend that you visit UK Tights's main site.

Nicole Of Shapings To Be Interviewed

I have great news. A week or 2 ago, Nicole, of Shapings, sent me an email, letting me know that she plans to answer the interview questions. Most of them will be the same as what I asked of The Stylish Fox.

Nobody made any promises, though. So, if she does not get around to answering the questions, then do not hold her to it, please. She is just trying her best, and she is really busy right now.

My Order From The Stylish Fox Is Coming!

The package has been sent by USPS First Class! We will watch the clock together. ;^P because the review will be about her service as much as it is about her products.

So far, so good.

Moisturizer On My Heels

Yesterday, I started putting petroleum jelly on the heels of my feet, so that my skin will be smooth by time the hosiery from The Stylish Fox comes. I think that my skin needs to be in the best condition possible, in order for me to give the best review possible.

My skin is not so bad as this, but it is mildly similar.

Gal Wears Mostly Opaque Tights In Dentyne Commercial

Dentyne made a commercial, named The Hunt. Hosiery was not a main part of it, but it looked nice. The commercial is a few months old.

Video Of Woman Washing Pantyhose

I got this from Pantyhose HD. A woman washing her hosiery is not particularly useful, but it is interesting, because we get a look into somebody's private life. She seems more aggressive with her hosiery, than I expected.

I Will Review 2 Pairs Of Hosiery From The Stylish Fox

I want to review 2 pairs of hosiery from The Stylish Fox. Here is a list of 6 pairs that I considered.

I narrowed her entire range down to these 6 pairs, because of availability of colour-size combination. Because I am focusing on reviewing, I also based my choices on what men and hopefully women will most likely want to order. Read the remainder of my post to see what I chose and why.

Description Of Underalls

As I mentioned in my previous blog post, I thought that I saw a pair of hosiery that had actual underwear attached to it, as opposed to hosiery with a white reinforced panty.

Somebody sent me a pair of Underalls, several years ago, and what I got was a pair of hosiery that essentially had a white reinforced panty, as opposed to actual underwear.

Have you worn Underalls before? If so, were they a thick pair of panties that looked like the bum in the Underall pictures?

Hosiery Art In Elementary School

When I was in elementary school, I remember making a stuffed worm out of a bit of suntan hosiery. It was in grade 6, and each student brought a pair to school. 1 guy showed us what his mom wore. It was strange, because it was a pair of panties with hosiery sewn on. If I recall correctly, it was not just a pair of Underalls.

Got A Job

I wore brown opaques, and my beige shorts to a job interview. I was offered a job. I will sell remote control toys at a ferry terminal. We will see how it goes. I start next week. In the mean time, I will keep applying.

Do you see? Guys can get jobs, while wearing shorts and hosiery to an interview.
