Epilated Legs Today

I have not epilated my legs since the middle of September 2011. It was looking very ugly, and I was feeling very self-conscious when wearing shorts and hosiery. I finally did it during the late morning and early afternoon.

The skin felt wonderful, because there were no ingrown hairs, and everything was just dandy.

I also noticed that because I had not gone out in shorts and hosiery for some time, I felt different today, when I finally wore them again to run an errand. I cannot remember the exact feeling, but it did feel good, and I am convinced that I need to wear shorts and hosiery after work.

I also think that because I will not be going out in shorts and hosiery as much, I might just shave my legs, and epilate only once per month, or so. I think that I cannot epilate very often, because my hair is very scruffy and thick. It is sparse, but each hair is very thick and twisted, which means that it will be very easy for it to become ingrown.

What are some of your experiences with leg hair? Do you get twisted hair? Do you epilate or shave?

The end. Thank you for reading!

Hosiery In Wikimedia: Halloween Jockey Costume

Halloween 2010 Fabulous

This is my favourite Halloween photo. I saved it for as close to Halloween as possible.

I think that she has a very clean appearance. It is not the typical Halloween costume for women. I think that she has very fresh face and a sweet smile.

Oh wait. Look at her neck line. Maybe she is not as innocent as I thought.

If you owned a horse, then would you let her ride it?

A Sight For Sore Eyes

Working in a department store can get mildly oppressive, when you do not have meaningful work. However, like all jobs, there are some perks. A lovely young lady was having a tough time explaining herself. At least, that is what she thought. So, she lifted up her skirt; probably a 40's style skirt, and then showed me a stocking top and garter.

Rest assured, my dear readers, she had metal clasps.

I think that she may have sensed confusion from me, before lifting. Perhaps she does not expect guys to know about hosiery, and because I asked what she meant when she used certain terminology. I usually ask questions to make things easier for all of us, not because I am confused.

I do not know what my facial expression was like, but I was very surprised. If she thought that I was confused, before lifting, then maybe I should be confused more often! ;^D

The end. Thank you for reading!

Customers In The Hosiery Department

1 thing that I noticed about women in the hosiery department is the way that they so casually use stockings to refer to any form of hosiery. Often times, it turns out that they want full length hosiery or even just knee highs.

This kind of backfired yesterday, when somebody asked me for actual stockings. She was looking for opaques, so that she could combine them with her shape-wear. In other words, she did not want a panty portion that would need to go over or under her shape-wear. It made sense to me, because things would get more uncomfortable.

Fortunately for her, DIM sold a pair of opaque stay-ups. They seemed quite nice. I am not sure if she ended up buying them.

Solidea UK Not Solidea US

I found out that Solidea UK is not run by the same people as Solidea US. I mention this, because if you are not happy with the service of the US company, and if you are happy with their products, then maybe you could try out the service of the UK company.

Might Wear Shorts And Hosiery After Work

I think that I will never wear hosiery and shorts again, outside of the home, outside of work hours, if things continue. I just do not go out very much. I would probably wear them if I left home to run some errands, but that would happen very rarely. It seems that wearing them on the way home will be the only way to show my coworkers what normal guys look like when they wear.

The store provides change rooms in the coat room, so that it is easy for us to get changed after work. I could carry a bag with me to work. Having all of my belongings in a bag might make me feel more prepared and comfortable.

What do you all think? Should I get changed after work?

Shapings: About Canada The Homeland

A lot of hosiery businesses are in the US, UK and other countries. Nicole comes from Canada.

Tell us a bit about the country where you were born. What was life like?

Canada is basically like the US but a different type of democracy government and having socialized health care is something that I have always known here.

Business Shorts And Suit: Reward For The First Year Of Work

Lately, I have been making goals to keep me motivated at work.

Every time I go to work, I buy myself a nice medium smoothie, or a Julius original, from Orange Julius. There have been times that I missed out on the treat, because I bought some Chinese food, and did not feel like it at the next break, but for the most part, I have been very consistent about it.

I have also made some larger goals. Every time I complete a full calendar month of employment, I will treat myself to something bigger, like maybe a nice sundae from Dairy Queen. We will see.

I have also made a long term goal. When I complete my first year of work, I will treat myself to a new black suit with business shorts. I think that it will look quite nice. Hopefully the suit will match my kilts. I chose this as a reward, because of how important it is that I be able to go out with visible hosiery, while wearing a suit.

The end. Thank you for reading!

Business Opportunities For Hosiery

I stumbled upon the idea of being a concierge. I began to wonder, "What if we could get people to come to us, to order hosiery, and then just let us do the choosing?". I know that seems impossible, but the idea is that we could save them time, and we could focus on just sending a pair of hosiery to them.

To see what I am getting at, here is the Wikipedia definition of a shopping concierge.

Shopping concierge is a service that provides either personal assistance in shopping in particular area, usually tourist shopping spot, or sometimes associated with pre-order shopping service. Shopping concierge service business is getting more grip, shoppers have to face difficulties shopping outside their countries, due to issue like payment method, shipping method, etc. Some of the merchants or stores that do not support international shipping usually become the source of shopping concierge business, while shoppers in countries where big brands and stores are not available become their target market.

Usually shopping concierge business charge their customesr per time based (hours or daily) or charge them per shopping transaction with fixed-cost or percentage based. Many shopping concierge service provider, such as Concierge.com, Quinessentially.com, etc.

Hosiery In Wikimedia: Halloween Slutty Teens

Disfraces Halloween

Skirts and dresses get shorter, neck lines get lower, and sleeves disappear.

Do not forget to throw on 1 or 2 props, to make yourself look like something.

Duties At Sears

After working for about 3.5 weeks at Sears, I am beginning to understand my role there. Generally speaking, most of my time there is spent working the cash register, and getting shoes. Sometimes, I open and close the cash registers. As far as hosiery goes, I spend a lot of time tidying up the hosiery racks and pulling out new stock. I do focus on hosiery a bit more than others, but hosiery is such a small part of it.

It bothers me that I spend so little time taking care of the hosiery, but there is very little that I can do about it. I think that I need to realize that the hosiery situation is a problem and that it was that way before I came, and that it will be that way long after I am gone. I believe that Sears has so much variety and so little space for it, that it would be impossible to fix the problem at my level of employment. It would cost Sears too much to bring me in more often, just for dealing with hosiery.

All of this makes me a little upset, but it also forces me to look on the positive side, because if I do not, then I will just end up being miserable or quitting. A lot of us consider this to be a good milestone for men. I need to stay focused on that. I must learn to appreciate the fact that I can help some people get hosiery, when they would not have been able to otherwise.

If I ever get rich, then I intend to open a hosiery store, so that I can take pride in great quality hosiery that is organized and well displayed. It would be a hobby business. As long as I can break even, then it is worth it.

I just need to stick it out for 2 years, and then move on. This type of a job will never be a great long term job. This means that I have 101.5 weeks to go!

The end. Thank you for reading!

Not Many Outings And Not Much Time

I think that the only big news right now is that I do not have many outings, because of work. I wish that we could wear shorts and hosiery, but we cannot.

Also, because of work, and because of writing practise and because of writing homework, I do not have as much time to blog.

I still want to post the interviews, though. Just do not expect much exciting stuff in November. I will need to do a lot of writing.

The end. Thank you for reading!

Business Shorts Length

1 thing that I neglected to mention was that the business shorts should come down to the knees. Women's business skirts probably should touch the knees, but I think that men's business shorts should be high enough to avoid touching the front of the knees, and not any higher. The idea is that they might seem too long and baggy when seen to touch the knees.

What do you think is the best length?

Day Sheer Hosiery As Pants

I was sitting in Pacific Centre [i.e. a shopping mall], and I spotted a young girl, probably from Asia. She wore black or off-black pantyhose as pants. I could see her panties underneath, which appeared to be red. It all happened so fast. I think that she wore sheer-to-waist hosiery. I could not tell. My memory is really hazy, so it might have actually had a reinforced panty.

Remember, my dear readers, I am not talking about a woman wearing hosiery and a long shirt. I am talking about a woman wearing a shirt that went down to her waistband or hips. Her coat was open, so anybody could see her panties plainly. I wish that I had followed her to be sure that I saw correctly, but that might be a bit creepy. :^D

I also thought that I saw another girl like that, but with opaques. It was too hard to tell.

Do you think that it will become a trend?

The end. Thank you for reading!

Finished Ironing Pants Into Business Shorts

Do you remember me buying pants from the army surplus store? I finished measuring the shorts, and ironing them, with the legs folded in, to make them easier to sew. I ironed them, with the legs folded in, because once they are ironed, it makes them easier to sew. The end. Thanks for reading!

Business Shorts For Men

The goal of wearing shorts and hosiery in all environments is never going to be reached, unless we can convince people to wear shorts in the business environment. That is why I want to coin the phrase "business shorts", to describe shorts that are well made for the business environment. Read the rest of my post for more info.

Finally Had 50 Visitors Each Day For Whole Month

From Sep. 3 until Oct. 3, I had 50 or more 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 60 visitors each day, for a month. As it is, I already have reached a goal of 55, and I think that I need to set higher goals, so that we will not have to see these tiny announcements every month. I think that 60 visitors might be a little bit harder, but maybe as I share more experiences from work, then more readers will come. The last time I got below 60 visitors was on Oct. 1, and the fluctuations have been very mild. If all goes well, then I should be able to announce the next milestone on Nov. 1.

In the distant future, I hope to create some serious articles, but we will have to see how that turns out.

Finally Had 45 Visitors Each Day For Whole Month

From Aug. 21 until Sep. 20, I had over 45 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. A special note goes out to @LeggsBrand, who retweets blog posts about them, and an even more special note goes to @HosieryNoveltie, who retweets almost anything that I write. I really appreciate every bit of help. Thank you very much.

When I first made this blog post, my next goal was to get at least 50 visitors each day, for a month. That happened much quicker than I thought. The blog post announcing that will be posted in another 12 hours.

I think that I can do it, because I plan to post more than just once per day.

In the distant future, I hope to create some serious articles, but we will have to see how that turns out.

Maybe I Will Not Fight The Issue

I did a search for discrimination complaints, and read up about them. It seems that there are many sad stories of people being ripped off. I have no way of verifying any of those stories, but I believe most of them to be true.

After a bit of reflection on those stories, I came to the conclusion that the only way to survive in this world is to be positive and appreciative of what I have been given: a job; a job helping to sell hosiery. There are many more things too. It would be great to be able to tell people where I get my product knowledge and experience from, but it is not a battle worth fighting in the next few months.

I will think about the possibility in January.

Review Of The Stylish Fox And Service

I am in a bit of a rush, so I will need to summarize this quickly.

2 good things about The Stylish Fox caught my attention: the quick response to my order; and the wish list. Shipment took a while, but Canada Post was having problems with other mail that we were expecting, so I do not fault any of the businesses.

I liked the way that she responded the next day. Quick responses are not important to me, but they are to some of you, so I thought that I would mention it.

I like their wish list feature. Many stores have it, but it is still worth mentioning, because it helps you to select items for later consideration. When I came back to it, I found that I could take a fresh perspective on what would be best.

If you have bought from The Stylish Fox before, then let us know. Have you gotten quick responses from them? Slow responses? Have you used their wish list feature?

Women And Pants And Men And Shorts And Hosiery

Here is something to think about: if women are allowed to wear pants in business formal environments, then why could men not be allowed to wear shorts and hosiery? The only reason that women got what they wanted is because they were intolerant and forced themselves on companies.

Not Allowed To Mention That I Wear Hosiery

I was told yesterday that I am not allowed to tell customers that I wear hosiery. I agreed to it, because I want to keep my job. I thought about it this morning, and became mad. Read the remainder of my post to see what I think.

Speaking About Hosiery As If It Were A Person

For the purposes of reviews, I will refer to a style of hosiery as if it were a person. I think that it would be weird, but useful. I would love some feedback on whether or not speaking about hosiery as a person is a good idea.

Thanks For The Ad Revenue

Last month, I made $13.41. I never made $10 or more. So, that means that I reached a new milestone. I appreciate the sponsors. I appreciate you, who have clicked on the ads. Thanks!

Tried On The Stylish Fox Hosiery

I woke up late, after about 9 hours of sound sleep, and before I even ate breakfast, I tried on the 2 pairs that I ordered from The Stylish Fox. I am very excited to report about it. I will probably start typing up my first impressions today.

I was going to break up the review into several parts, and then post a new part of the review each week, but I think that it might be nice to post them all in the same week; just over several days.

Readers, how do you prefer to read this? The Stylish Fox, how do you prefer that I post this?"

Got 2 Phone Numbers From Hosiery Customers

Yesterday, I worked at the cash register most of the time, and I chatted up the ladies, as they brought in their diaphanous treasures. A couple them really seemed like eager enthusiasts.

1 lady bought every size of a certain colour. I quickly warned her of her mistake. She just smiled and said that she fit into all of the sizes. I was shocked. I had a lot of respect for her. I think that it takes openness and enthusiasm to try on all sizes. It takes boldness to admit to wearing a plus-size, when she does not need it. I decided to ask her for her phone number, so that I could tell her when we would be in stock again.

I cannot remember what happened with this other lady, but I got her number as well.

I gave my phone number to both of them.

I am just amazed at how much women are bulking up on hosiery.

Vanity Fair and Jessica

When I met up with the hosiery rep, I asked so many questions. She mentioned that Vanity Fair was the store brand for Eaton's. When Sears bought out Eaton's, Sears ended up moving the higher quality styles from Vanity Fair to Jessica, and the lower quality styles from Jessica to Vanity Fair.

1 of the best questions was about Vanity Fair support hosiery and Energizer support hosiery. She told me that they were very similar.

So, the lesson for today, is that your favourite Vanity Fair styles might now be available in Jessica's line. Feel free to choose Jessica support hosiery as an alternative to Energizer support hosiery.

Busy At Work

Sadly, I have not had time to update this blog as much as I would like. In the next couple of weeks, you can expect more product information regarding Vanity Fair and Jessica, maybe a few work stories, definitely an interview from a different hosiery advocate, definitely the interview from Nicole of Shapings, and definitely the Trasparenze hosiery review for The Stylish Fox.

There has been so much happening, that I cannot handle it all very easily. It is all good stuff, though.

Hosiery Advocate's Boutique Updated

The main page, the about-page, the contact page, and other information has been updated.

I also adjusted the stock levels to zero. Originally, the stock was supposed to be from a couple of department stores, but it turns out that hosiery has been so popular, that it has been impossible for companies to stay stocked up.

Yesterday, I contacted a sales rep of a hosiery manufacturer, and ordered a bunch of pairs. I will update the site and announce it here, when stock is ready to go.

Customer Bought 12 Pairs And In Larger Sizes

Today, I managed to encourage a customer to buy Energizers in size C. She was used to buying them in size B. I'm amazed that she got away with it before, because she seems too tall for it, even if she were super skinny. See the company product page for the size chart.

I love my job so much.

Thoughts On New Hosiery Online Stores

I noticed many new online hosiery stores on Twitter. It kind of made me think. Before reading the remainder of my post, think about what your opinion is.
