Dolly Parton Wears Shimmery Hosiery And Open Toe Shoes

This article has nothing to do with our interests here, but it has a nice photo at the end.

I never really put much thought into her, until I heard jokes about her breast size, and until my mom talked about her wearing a wig. I never even thought that it could be a wig.

Perhaps she has a hair/scalp problem. I wish that she would show the world what it looks like, so that she can inspire people to do well, despite outward appearances.

Cathay Pacific Stewardess Uniforms Too Sexy?

It seems that cheer leaders are not the only pretty women, who are unhappy. Stewardesses have been complaining about harassment, and they blame it on the uniforms. You can see them wear pantyhose under their skirts, which come down to just above their knees.

It is hard for me to form an opinion here, because I have not seen the uniforms in action. In and of itself, such complaints are important, since we do not want them to be harassed. Also, I want them to be happy with their uniforms. Also, I think that modesty is very important.

I am just concerned that they might be trouble makers. I would need to see them bend down and reach up. If they can make their uniforms appear to be revealing by bending and reaching, then they have a fair complaint.

Then again, like the airline says, they are welcome to exchange their uniforms for a better size. So, there is no need to complain at all.

The airline gave them chance to give feedback, and got no major complaints during the two month trial period.

Crocs With Tights And Crocs With Thick Socks

Yesterday, I got a chance to try the Crocs that I bought the day before with a pair tights. It was a positive experience. I did not want anything too slippery.

I certainly would enjoy a pair of slippery footwear, just for the slippery sensation, but I do not want my indoor footwear to normally be slippery, unless they are easy to secure in another way.

The Crocs seemed to hold on well without risk of falling off, and yet, they were still easy to remove.

I will have to try Crocs will slipperier hosiery to say for sure, but this is definitely looking good. I think that even if a pair of hosiery could become too slippery for a pair of Crocs, then Crocs would still be worth while, because I could always wear a pair of hosiery that is not slippery.

The only time that I tried Crocs with footed hosiery was when I was getting ready to leave, and when I got home. I ended up getting changed into thick woolen socks, because I currently, I am wearing footless hosiery at home.

The thick sock made the Crocs uncomfortable, because my Crocs are not big enough. That is fine, though. Once the socks wear out, everything will be better. Also, I could wear different socks, if it really mattered.

Wore Mostly Opaques To Outings Yesterday

I must admit that I was a bit nervous. It has been a while since I wore mostly opaques or semi opaques, or sheers in public. However, once I was out of the home, I felt quite liberated.

It was refreshing to be able to wear something so smooth and silky in public and not have it be a problem.

I went a couple of volunteer opportunities, which paid honourariums. They paid so much that they effectively paid me a low income earner's day's wages.

I also went to apply at a temporary work employer. They are employers, who send us from place to place, doing temporary work. I do not know what other countries are like, so I thought that I should have explained to you what a temporary work employer is.

During each of the volunteer opportunities, I was informally interviewed for a project. Each organization had its own project. During one of the volunteer opportunities, the topic of my hosiery came up. I had a chance to mention that I liked to wear it in a normal way.

The people in the other volunteer opportunity must have seen my hosiery. I know that 1 guy was looking down. They will see my hosiery photo later this month, when we go to an art show.

I felt so fortunate, because I was able to touch high quality hosiery in public, while I sat on the bus and train. It really felt so good, that for a moment I wondered if hosiery could possibly helped to reduce depression or maybe even cure it.

Today's outing was quite successful. I hope to wear sheer hosiery out of the home in the future.

Bought Crocs

I bought a pair of Crocs yesterday. I like wearing footwear in the home. Footwear helps to protect the carpet, my socks, my hosiery, and my feet. I think that it keeps all of them cleaner. It also helps to protect the hosiery that we buy. There could be something sharp in the carpet, or maybe the hosiery might snag against a rough surface. It is just not worth the risk in normal situations.

My pair is pure black. It is size 7, and fits very well, even though my foot is a size 6.5.

I have not had a chance to try it out with footed hosiery, but I intend to. I am looking forward to it. I have tried them with socks and with bare feet, and from what little I can tell, Crocs with hosiery is going to work well.

The rubber is slightly softer compared to regular shoe soles, and other kinds of slippers and sandals. It is not the softest, but it is softer.

It so wide in the toes that it is hard for me to touch the sides when I stretch my toes apart.

1 thing that I really wanted was the heel strap. When I wear socks that are so thick and slippery, it is hard for footwear to grip the sock covered foot. I also like the heel strap being simple enough to move out of the way for easy foot insertion. The heel strap should come in handy for when I wear hosiery, since some kinds of hosiery might be too slippery. It seems that the people, who invented this, really had something special in mind.

Bright Dress For Autumn, Winter, Spring, And Summer

Yahoo! sent me a special Getty Images photo of Alexandra Richards modelling Voodoo hosiery that was not available through the regular image search. Other photos of the photo session are easy to find, but this particular photo is not available through image searches.

The colourful dress seems to be made for autumn and winter. It seems to brighten up the room in fall and winter.

I like the colourful dress, because it looks so nice for the other seasons too. It seems so versatile. Do you agree?

If you think that the outfit is not appropriate for spring and summer, then maybe a pair of light coloured sheer hosiery should do the trick. What do you think?

L'eggs Discriminates Against Men

It is 2014, and men have been wearing hosiery publically for probably almost 20 years, if not more. I think the first few discussions appeared on the web in around 1995, give or take a couple of years. In that time, we have made a lot of achievements. We have talked about it. We have shared it with our friends and family. We shown photos. We have made our views known to the companies in a very dignified and polite manner. We have made an effort to distance ourselves from fetishes. We have bought hosiery. We have encouraged women to buy hosiery. We even sell hosiery! Some of us have tried to accommodate women and their concerns, even when there should be nothing to be concerned about.

Despite all the support that men give to L'eggs, L'eggs still insists on preventing men from entering L'eggs contests.

There are so many men that could benefit from winning these contests. Let us discuss a couple of types.

A type of man that could benefit from winning this contest might be a single father, who has a daughter that could use hosiery for school. Currently children are not allowed to enter all contests. Ideally, the father could enter on the child's behalf. Many companies make opportunities to connect with the community by helping others, but L'eggs sees it as a cost and as something that ruins their reputation. In other words, L'eggs sees helping single fathers with daughters as bad.

Contrast L'eggs attitude and actions with WestJet.

For some context, see WestJet vice-president Richard Bartrem explain why they did what they did.

This is probably the first time a big corporation, and especially an airline, did something like this for Christmas. In that sense, it is unusual, but there is nothing unusual in the sense that people want to be generous at times, and they care about others. People are not always like that, but they can be like that often. It is not unusual in general. It is just unusual in this type of circumstance.

L'eggs should be helpful and kind like WestJet.

Another type of man that could benefit from winning this contest might be a man, who needs that leg support. L'eggs could look at this as an opportunity to develop a new niche market, but they would rather keep that market away. Most companies argue to the death that their products work. If that is the case, then is L'eggs saying that their products do not work on men?

So, there are single fathers, and men in need of leg support. On top of that, there are hosiery reviewers and bloggers, and there are men who wear for warmth. What about men who buy gifts for their wives? Does L'eggs want to influence purchasers?

The thing is that L'eggs does not have to invest in a campaign targeted only at men. A campaign targeted only at men would cost a lot, and probably not bring in a worth while return of investment. However, if L'eggs includes men, then they will no doubt cultivate that community at no extra cost, which brings a greater return of investment.

Contrast L'eggs attitude and actions with Silks Hosiery's attitude and actions: Have you liked our Facebook page yet? You'll automatically win a pair of Black Iris tights! [only open to Canadian residents]. We can see that they are open to men, but they are also closed to those outside of Canada. I do not think that many will complain about L'eggs only being open to the US or above a certain age group. Many contests are like that. That is okay. Most contests do not prevent men from entering.

In summary of all that I have written so far: L'eggs has the right to limit their contests to a certain place and a certain age group, since this is normal, but they really ought to try to be as good as other companies or better. L'eggs could knock out some competition, by portraying the brand as accommodating and supportive of others. Keeping others out does not send that message.

How do we apply this? I think that the time has come that we avoid buying their products, and discourage all people from buying their products.

Obviously, I recommend buying Silks instead, since they have proven themselves as nice and kind, and since I sell the brand, but I am confident that there are other brands out there. Please share with me your favourite brands that like men.

Man In Tights In Cuba

We seem to be making progress. Fantasy Stockings showed me this photo, which I assumed that she took. It is good news for us, because it shows that we are making progress.

I do not know anything about these guys or these looks or these outfits, but they seem to come across as being normal and not gay. I suppose that small bag might be considered effeminate, but other than that, the outfits seem okay.

If you are this person, then please feel free to introduce yourself!
