Spoke About Hosiery And My Endeavours At Saturday's Library Event

I was quite nervous, because I had never spoke to people about my book like this before. Fortunately, I was 1 of the last few people to speak. This gave me an opportunity to hear how the other people would speak, and try to make my presentation fit in a similar manner. I must say, though, that all of them were accomplished authors, so it was quite an intimidating situation. Read the remainder of the blog post to see what I shared with them.

A Look At Somebody's Hosiery Collection

Somehow, I always feel curious about a woman's hosiery collection. This young gal seems to enjoy sharing them with her subscribers. She likes to dress up in costumes, and she shows us what kinds of opaque she has. In the video, she models 6 pairs for us.

Is She Wearing Pantyhose? #55

We have not had a video Is She Wearing Pantyhose? for some time. Actually, have we had it at all? I checked and could not find any. I will check again in the future.

Gal #55 should be quite easy. She is the main actor in the prank.

Betsy Johnson Uses Hosiery In Fall 2012 Fashion Line

It is good to know that at least somebody [in this case, Betsy Johnson] chose to use hosiery for fall 2012.

Hosiery is not visible in all the photos, so you will have to skim through.

Fashion: Hosiery Creates A Non-Shimmery Shine Also

There are 2 kinds of hosiery shines.

1 kind of hosiery shine is when the hosiery is very shimmery, as shown in the photo of the cheerleaders. It is not the best example, but the idea is that the hosiery sparkles all over the leg. This kind of shine can happen with sheer hosiery or opaque hosiery.

Read more about her outfit from this article.

Another kind of hosiery shine is when the hosiery is very even and bright, as shown in the photo of Pippa Middleton. This kind of hosiery shine only really happens with opaque hosiery. It is almost as if the light is being reflected in a pure way. We see that she wears black opaque hosiery that has a nice even shine to it. It seems to be a cloudy day, but she still gets a nice reflection. In fact, her hosiery is more like matte hosiery, but her hosiery is just a bit more shinier. In fact, her hosiery is about as shiny as the rest of the outfit.

In short, 1 kind of shine is a sparkley kind of shine, and the other is a more even reflection.

I believe that the sparkley kind is great for your outfits during exciting occasions, even if you are wearing a little black dress, while the even reflection would be more suited to formal occasions.

Moisturizing My Legs & Feet

Regular readers should know that my legs are disgustingly dry, and my heels are like Velcro. Yesterday, I decided to put an end to it, temporarily, and start moisturizing. The rest of my post tells you the techniques that I use.

Have Been Enjoying Footless Hosiery Lately

As my loyal readers know, I have recently become an advocate of footless hosiery. It is not as fun as regular hosiery, but it still feels good. It is also good to know that my rough feet are not destroying a great pair. The rest of my post tells you more.

Speaking This Saturday

There will be a writers and readers event, and I will have a chance to present my writings. I will probably read a bit from the book, "The Blog Entries Of Hosiery Advocate", and also read 1 of my course assignments. In fact, some of you might have read it already. It is "Winnie's Pantyhose Screens". Because it is about a character who believes in herself, people might enjoy it.

We will see. I am a bit nervous, because I do not have a lot to present, like many other writers.

It is exciting to think that an audience will have 10 minutes to look at a guy wearing hosiery and shorts. I might wear a beige pair of shorts with brown or white hosiery, and my Doc Marten shoes.

Stranger Said Something Positive

I honestly do not know if he was joking or not. I think that the healthiest thing to believe is that he meant it.

I was walking home, after mailing a hosiery parcel, wearing my grubby grey shorts, with black footless hosiery, and black socks. A car was about to turn. A passenger in the back had a window rolled down. The fellow said, "Nice socks, man.", or something like that. I gestured with a nod, to imply thanks, and kept going.

If only we could get more people to wear.

Undressing Advice For Women

Most advice for women is on how to get men to do things. This blog post shows some advice that was written in a time long gone, when it was still okay for men to tell women what to do. There are pictures, too. It is hard to see the fine print, but the useful bit of information was to remove the hosiery carefully, instead of just pulling them off.

Hosiery Fashion Calendar

I could imagine a calendar put out by various hosiery companies, but what about an entire calendar featuring hosiery used in a fashion collection? Well, this is our lucky year. In many of the calendar photos, the women are wearing no panties, and nothing to cover the panty portion of the hosiery.

Enjoy the free photos!

I have no idea where we can buy the calendar, though.

Thank you for reading!

Just Got A Sale Today

It is not like I need to blog about every single sale that I get, but it is such a great feeling to come back home from mailing an order, and then see another order in my inbox.

While trying to get this order going, I managed to go through most of the process very quickly. I felt that this was a sign of business growth. It felt like a sign that I have developed a routine, which means that it will become more profitable to run this business.

The only problem is that I was not prepared to do any packaging. I searched around the house for any paperboard that I could use to wrap the parcel. I found some old boxes for software, for a cell phone, and for whatever else. These boxes are clutter, so I am happy to make good use of them.

Since I started this business, I have been trying to use paper board, because it is light. I realized today, that I do not have to do it anymore, because most parcels can be shipped with cardboard, without reaching the weight limitations. In other words, it will not become more expensive, just because I am using cardboard.

Since we have too much cardboard around here, I am excited to start getting rid of it. After this shipment, I will save the paperboard for oversized letter mail, because that weight limitation is smaller.

Just in case you are curious, my waistband-free hosiery has been the most popular, and only, selling hosiery.

Thank you for reading!

New Shipment Of Waistband Free Hosiery Arrived

I am so glad that a new shipment of hosiery arrived today. I replenished some of the Silks Waistless Tights, and added 2 kinds of Waistless Pantyhose. The pantyhose come in black and natural, while the tights come in black and java.

Thank you for reading!

The Bay Sells Silks Waistband Free Hosiery Again

I had to go to Downtown Vancouver yesterday, to volunteer for something. I decided to drop by Sears [where I worked], and The Bay.

It seems that The Bay sells Silks Waistless Tights [style #19295P] again. I asked about it, and the lady said that they sell it only in winter. Once it gets to spring and summer, they do not stock it anymore. I do not think she is completely right, but she is probably close enough.

Therefore, if you live near The Bay, then I encourage you to check it out, so that you could save on shipping.

Compression Hosiery Continues To Gain Recognition

An article shares some testimonials of athletes who wear hosiery to improve circulation. It is not that they have bad circulation. It is that have such a high need for circulation that they need to get every bit of help that they can.

The most compelling bit is the 2 paragraphs about a professional mountain biker, Sarah Kaufmann, who had such sore legs that she could not sleep. She wore them later on, and about an hour later, she noticed improvement.

So, we can see the medical community recommending it, and the sports community embracing, and some of us flaunting it.

When will it become old news? When will I be able to retire this blog? Thank you for reading!

Combine Head Scarf With Opaque Hosiery

This young lady has merged modernity with something foreign and old. She did it by combining a head scarf with hosiery. In the images, we can clearly see that the hosiery is opaque, which is modern, especially when worn with that short skirt. Although the scarf must have been made recently, the style has not been around for some time in this part of the world.

Would you ever wear a head scarf and hosiery? Maybe guys could wear shorts, hosiery, and a bandanna?

Celebrities Wear Suspender-Like Full Length Hosiery

You have probably seen Paris Hilton photos, where she wears full length hosiery that appear to have garter belt suspenders, but if you prefer live action, then you might want to watch the video.

The thing is that it is not just her, and bunch of average people wearing that style of hosiery. News sources are highlighting other celebrities wearing the same style of hosiery.

Here is a news article about Miley Cyrus and Selina Gomez wear that hosiery. There is a poll there, where you can voice your opinion on who wore it better. Also, you can see more photos of Miley.

I think that this hosiery looks okay on women. I do not think that it is appropriate for guys, even if they feel comfortable wearing it. What do you think?

Nicole Is Good Fashion Role Model For Daughter

Nicole Richie was photographed many months ago, wearing sheer black hosiery, and short shorts, with her daughter, who wore a dance outfit that included opaque hosiery. It is good to see mothers preparing the younger generation for wearing great looking clothes!

Used Hosiery: Put On Mannequins

I realized the other day, that if our hosiery develops holes in certain places, then it would be useful for us to put some nail polish around the hole, and then use the hosiery on a mannequin. After all, the hosiery is going to be punctured anyways, if we use new hosiery. Why waste a new pair?

Most of us will never own mannequins, but we could still do this by offering local businesses our worn hosiery with holes. It could be our way of supporting them.

I think that this would be good for us, even if the stores do not sell hosiery, because their customers will see the mannequins, and then be more likely to wear hosiery with the clothing that they buy from the stores, and maybe even the with stuff that they already own.

Would you ever donate your hosiery to local businesses?

Fashion: Tip On Mixing Patterned And Unpatterned Hosiery

Lately there has been a big interest in patterned hosiery, also known as fashion hosiery. You can take advantage of this, by wearing them over top of your regular hosiery.

To give yourself a better perspective, I suggest that you think of your unpatterned hosiery as a piece of blank paper or canvas. The patterned hosiery is similar to a template. You can choose any colour canvas to match your outfit, and then put a template on it, to give your overall look a bit of variety.

This way, you still have your legs fully covered in colder temperatures, and you still can have a nice match, if you are wearing coloured hosiery.

If you have done this before, then please share advice, and share photos. Thank you for reading!

Moving The Blog

I am debating about whether or not I want to move the blog.

Either way, the address should be the same.

I tested it this morning, and it seems that some of the links might not work. I think that some of the photos will not show up, because they are being stored on my Picasa account, as opposed to the new Picasa account.

A major advantage of moving is that you can find my photos by browsing my Picasa account. I can share them freely. A disadvantage of staying in the same place is that I hesitate to share some photos so freely. People might not understand.

Have any of you moved your blogs? Any suggestions? If I cannot decide either way, then I will probably move it, and not worry about the older photos and links. I could always manually repair things. I doubt that I have many photos, anyways.

Found A Near By Canada Post MailBox

A couple of the most interesting challenges of mail order businesses is finding the most convenient ways and the cheapest ways of shipping our products.

Lately, I have been measuring package sizes and mailboxes to get an idea of what could go in which mailboxes. The smallest packages could be sent from just outside of my home. The bigger packages would need to be walked to a different mailbox.

I am very delighted to say that I found a Canada Post box near about a 10-minute walk from my home, so it should be very convenient to ship anything.

I now have 3 different options of where I can send a parcel, and each provides a level of convenience. These 3 options should ensure that I have better shipping.

Somebody Wrote A Story That Mentioned Pantyhose

It seems that the Philippines is holding its own hosiery fashion shows, too. The article mentions some brands and shows a photo.

Some days, I have do not have much hope. Some days, like today, I do! Thank you for reading!

Article About Old Hosiery Machine

A woman has an old hosiery machine that still works. You can see the device in the article's photo. It takes about 45 minutes to make a pair of socks.

There must be a lot of good memories attached to the machine. Thank you for reading!

Used Hosiery: Covering For Snake Bite

Use hosiery if you have a snake bite. Read the article for the instructions. Do NOT use it as tourniquet. If I understand correctly, we are supposed to apply some pressure, but not enough to cut off circulation.

This is a good reason to keep a bunch of hosiery in a first aid kit. If the victim is wearing a pair at the time, you could cut off the hosiery legs at the thigh, and use them to cover the bite. If the victim survives, then he will probably kill you for ruining his hosiery. So, there are obviously trade offs.

Do any of you have any more information on this? Do I understand it correctly? If you have a high level of first aid, then please let me know.

Fashion: Hosiery Makes Your Legs Glow

To see a bigger version of the photo, right click it, and then Open or something similar.

As we can see from this photo of Zooey Deschanel, hosiery is not just for warmth, and it is not just for making your legs match another garment. Hosiery also gives your legs a warm glow. I do not think that she is wearing shimmery hosiery. The glow seems to come from a mix of the colour of her skin, the sun, and the hosiery.

To get the look, wear a semi opaque pair of hosiery. Semi opaque hosiery allows some light to get through, but also blocks a bit of light. Sheer hosiery is thin and lets a lot of light through. Fully opaque hosiery is thick, and it prevents any light from getting through.

Do you consider having a warm glow, when you wear hosiery or go bare legged? Do you think that her legs glow nicely because of the hosiery?
