When I first saw these advertisements I thought of a some kind of bondage devices to keep the kids (or their hands) in place. And when my eyes quickly scanned the descriptions (apparently missing some words) they appeared to be even more misleading:

“… keep the children neatly … whether they are at school or at play. Helps them to learn to … and save your time… Strong elastic and non-elastic web … Known throughout the nation for quality. Will not slip off shoulder. A positive way of keeping their stockings up. Helps teach children to be neat. …. Kazoo for boys… Acts as a body brace … Growing girls should wear … that will prevent the shoulders from drooping. … Age 4 to 16 … “

Straps, braces, buckles, body harnesses, stockings … “Wow!”, I thought, “looks like the Sweet Gwendoline’s training! Did I miss this fetish bondage experience in my childhood?”

Aaaaand another step forward! Almost normal clothes for men. Breeches/capri with pantyhose. Just like my style.

But what is that nylon bag on their heads for? To protect whom from what? To protect the wearers from dust, as 40den suggested? Reference to bondage, fetish or zentai? But I do not find the bags aesthetically attractive. Just for the sake of dubious art? Or to prevent cockroaches from escaping their heads, as Dr. Glock reckons?

Does anybody knows the author?

Like lots of pantyhose maniacs RiK’s got a plenty of this fine garment. But (also considering his big size) his high heels collection is something to be proud of. On the other hand, I would add a pair of two of really high heels. Like 6″ or higher. He does not go too far in his heels anyway ;-)

“Men in pantyhose”, “men in skirts”, “men on high heels” – these subjects often arise in various related or not related forums. Many (too many, I would say) think that it would look disgusting, and they would never… etc.

If I were “they”, I wouldn’t be so sure…

Transparent latex again. And again it comes in the form of transparent latex pantyhose. In my mind this is what ideal pantyhose should look like: absolutely transparent, almost invisible, very shiny (with a razor thin stripe of the reflected light) and tight. However, there are some drawbacks (see also other posts).

Interesting thing. If you check the amount of available clothes made out of transparent latex on ebay.com, ebay.co.uk, ebay.at, ebay.de, guess what the results would look like? (Click on the preformatted links to see the actual up-to-date results).

You’ll be surprised. 50 in the US, 29 in the UK, 535 in Austria and 586 in Germany (only 110 results for latex pantyhose!). Hey, UK and US, wake up! You are WAAAAAAAAY behind!

Have any pictures of pantyhose made out of transparent latex? Upload them in the forum thread (click on the top picture).

Many thanks to Culmor for the huge mega update of the “Men in pantyhose” forum thread!

Also see a related thread: Men in swimsuits and leotards

Actually, both threads contain photos (and videos) of men wearing (shiny) pantyhose, (shiny) leotards and (shiny) swimsuits (and high-heels). Check ‘em both! ;-)

The first carnival “wave” is over. Unfortunately, I missed this event hence using some photos found on the Internet.

What makes this carnival interesting (for me, at least) is the Tanzmarie costume – short dress with very shiny special Tanzmariechen pantyhose, worn by kids, girls (big kids), women and … men.

Yes, even men. See photos below.

Update 13 Feb, 2010: The Joomla login prompt is back. Apparently the site is being worked on.

Does anybody know what happened with e-mancipate? The owner forgot to pay for the domain? Gave-up? Or something else?

On the 2nd of February it showed:

e-MANcipate.net – fashion magazine for men

e-MANcipate is closed now. Please check back tomorrow to see what’s up with the mantyhose!

But now even this message disappeared.

Here’s the digest of the recent most popular forum threads:

• Mermaid diving suit and swimming in latex leotard and transparent latex pantyhose.
• Men in pantyhose (photos, updated again)
• Do you want to look like Cher? Check this out.
• Did you like leotards and shiny pantyhose when you were a kid? This story might remind you that time.

Yes, shiny leotards and shiny pantyhose are back to the subject line.

First of all Culmor has digged out Kyoto Matshushita’s photos.

And then, he posted “competitive aerobics” videos. (See also “The fetish sport #1” post about aerobics)
