I respect Zac. He views the wearing of tights in a superhero role as a thing to be respected and something to aspire to: Zac Efron Not Yet Qualified to Wear Tights -- Vulture. He puts tights in a good light.
Thanks Zac! You probably weren't thinking of us, when you wrote that, but thank you, all the same.
An interesting article showed up in my alerts, many days ago: Cage fighters in tights and tutus. I don't think that this portrays men wearing hosiery very well, but I think about the positives. At least a few guys have become a little more familiar with it, and I suspect that this will make it easier for us in the future.

sooz wrote a blog entry on stretch fabrics: sewing with knits. I found that very informative for my goals. I wrote her a comment, and asked about sewing hosiery. She responded. I'll post the short discussion in the remainder of the blog entry for back up. If you have an interest in sewing, then I recommend that you check out her blog entry. For more ideas, click used

I eventually did go to Kitsilano Beach with my hosiery under my shorts. I wore them the entire time. I stayed for about 4 - 5 hours. Nothing bad happened. If anything, I was the person causing the trouble. ;^)
I'm still not sure that I would wear them in the water, though. For those of you who wonder about whether normal people do swim with hosiery: Western Mass, States, Banquet '05. There are more, but those are the only photos that I could find.
It seems that Kate Moss is leading the way in bringing sheer hosiery back into the mainstream.
Tomorrow, I will go to Kitsilano Beach to meet a new friend.
I wonder if I should wear hosiery underneath my shorts. If I go for a swim or walk on sand, then I wouldn't want to get sand in my hosiery. I could wear footless hosiery, but I'm concerned that it could look very feminine.
I have to start the day off as a participant in an experiment, so I'll probably wear something under my shorts, and then take it off later. We'll see how it goes.
I wonder what people in Australia do. My parents went to university in Sydney. Maybe they went to the beach often. Maybe they remember. I seem to recall a program that they had a few years ago to encourage people to cover up.
I'd like to give you all a rundown on what happened on my birthday. I'll cross post it to my other main non-hosiery blog, but you all get to see it first.
Before you click the link to read the blog entry, I want to thank 3 of you for wishing me a happy birthday. I was genuinely cheered up because you wrote something. Thank you all.
